""'*Translating the complicated budget into simple terme ••••• it would :mean
Americans will pay more for everything. Under the spending program
contempli*ed by the White House, the cost of living would increase
two percent.
In its decisions on the budget• Congress must consider the impact of the
sharp increase in Federal spending on the economf in which inflationar,y
pressures are alread;y strong.
If the White House will not tackle the problem of higher living costs
by restraining federal spending, the Congress must.
I believe Congress must support all necessary funds for nationals ecurity.
At the sane time, I believe in setting priorities at home without
sacrificing the proven needs of theAmerican people •••• all the people.
During the coming weeks, I will have other reports on the federal budget,
which should have the strong attention of all Americans.
Thank you for listening. This is your Congressman, Jerry Ford, speaking with
you from Washington.
