Excerpt
Excerpt: During 1986 Congress first tried to reduce the deficit through the Gramm- Rudman-Holdings budget-cutting procedure. When GAO?s role in providing an automatic trigger mechanism for that procedure was ruled unconstitutional, the Congress used the budget reconciiiation process to avoid the pro rata cuts that would otherwise have been required. The resulting savings were estimated to be enough to meet the Gramm-Rudman-HoLlings target. But, as we noted in our September report, estimates such as these must be viewed with great caution.
