THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 4784), memorializing Congress to enact legislation providing that any funds cut from a federal program, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

DEWITT WILLIAMS, for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

MEMORIALIZING CONGRESS TO ENACT LEGISLATION PROVIDING THAT ANY FUNDS CUT FROM A FEDERAL PROGRAM BY THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS MUST BE USED TO REDUCE THE FEDERAL DEFICIT AND MUST NOT BE SHIFTED TO ANY OTHER SPENDING PROGRAMS.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly note that legislation pending in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate, introduced respectively by Representative Michael Crapo of Idaho and Senator Paul Coverdell of Georgia, would provide that any funds cut from a government program by actions of the United States Congress must be used to reduce the federal budget deficit and must not be used for any other federal spending programs; and

Whereas, this legislation could serve a useful purpose in the ongoing battle to bring federal spending under control; and

Whereas, this legislation has the support of groups representing hundreds of thousands of Americans, including Citizens Against Government Waste, Americans for Tax Reform, Citizens for a Sound Economy, National Taxpayers Union, and United We Stand America; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly of South Carolina who are compelled by the State Constitution and laws to operate within a system that requires balanced state budgets, believe that the legislation pending in the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate on this subject would be a useful, albeit small, step in the continuing battle to restrain the growth of federal deficit spending. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the General Assembly of South Carolina, by this resolution, memorializes Congress to enact legislation providing that any funds cut from a federal program by the United States Congress must be used to reduce the federal deficit and must not be shifted to any other spending programs.

Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to each member of the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate from South Carolina.
