Budget Committee Votes to Move Resolution to the House Floor
Conaway Votes in Favor of Fiscally Responsible Budget, but Makes it Clear that Further Reductions are Needed, 3/30/2006

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Late last night, U.S. Representative Mike Conaway (R-TX), voted with a majority of the House Budget Committee to pass the Budget Resolution and move it the floor for a vote. A vote in the House is expected sometime next week.

"By passing the House budget resolution, we are taking important steps on the long road to fiscal responsibility," said Conaway, a CPA and member of the House Budget Committee. "Although, I would have favored deeper reductions in spending, this budget addresses the need to spend more responsibly and reduce the deficit. Slowing the growth of government spending is never easy, but we have made some tough choices and we are making progress."
