Date: December 11, 1985

Subject: Gramm/Rudman Defense Exclusion

Description: Packwood (R-OR) motion to table (kill) the Denton (R-AL) motion to recommit the conference report on the joint resolution to the conference committee, with instructions to grant authority to the President not to "sequester" funds for defense programs, projects, activities or accounts, provided that he certify to Congress that sequestering such funds would substantially impair the national defense, further providing that such discretionary authority may be suspended for a given fiscal year by a majority vote of both houses of Congress. This would exclude the Defense Department from automatic cuts under the Gramm/Rudman bill.
