 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the National Economic Commission should adopt the position that the only effective means to balance the Federal budget is to restrain the real rate of Federal spending to a level below the real rate of economic growth without increasing taxes above the current share of the gross national product, unless such revenue increases can be achieved with a reduction in tax rates.
