House GOP Outlines Spending-Cut Plans
From assisted housing to environmental protection, House Republicans outlined billions of dollars in cuts Monday in legislation that also zeroes out President Clinton’s program for voluntary national service.
Also slated for extinction in a broad appropriations bill approved Monday night by a House subcommittee is the Selective Service System, which has registered and classified millions of young Americans for military service.
NASA, the nation’s space agency, would take a cut of $837 million, but none of it in the manned space shuttle and planned space station programs.
The decision to eliminate the Selective Service System would save $17.3 million.
