PRESIDENT ASKS PUBLIC TO URGE HOUSE PASSAGE

"Encourage your congressmen to do the right thing -p11ss this Balanced Budget Amendment, " President Bush asked Americans on Wednesday as the House prepared to vote Thursday on several BBA versions.

"We 8te treating our nlltion81 debt like the old fellow who borrowed money to PliY off his loans, " Bush said in remarks sent via satellite to television stations across the nation. Hlnevit8bly someone lit some time must toot the bill, 8nd It i• aimply wrong to Wlllk aw8y from this mount11ln of debt and 188118 It to our klda. "

Bush has endorsed a BBA sponsored by Rep. Joseph Barton CR-Tex.J requiring a three-fifths vote of both houses of Congress to increase the national debt or to raise taxes. In his television remarks, Bush cited a poll indicating that 80 percent of Americans agree that "government spending must be restrllined end the budget btJI8nced. "

·ws ctm 't wheel lind dtMI the deficit •way," Bush said. "There's no etJsy 11nswer thet we can jot out on a blllnk sheet of paper to wipe outs deficit of thet magnitude. A Bal•nctKI Budget Amtlndmsnt Is r11111 sctlon 1md It wHI work. "

In a letter to Barton on Tuesdey, Bush said tho BBA issue "Is not partlslln, it is moral. " If the Barton proposal fails, he wrote, he supports a BBA sponsored by Rep. Charle• Stenholm CD., Tex.) requiring a three-fifths vote of Congress to increase the national debt. (6/11)
