Summary:

Members of Congress have long been interested in legislation to balance the federal budget and limit federal spending; however, this interest usually dwindled when the budget was in surplus and the debt was being repaid. This report examines the history of legislation to limit federal spending through the 94th Congress, and summarizes in detail the record of the 95th Congress on such bills and amendments.
