On the other hand. even in a period of tight budgetary policies we cannot ignore pressing national need in areas such as energy and defense nor can we close our eyes to the impact of the economic slowdown on employment and our urban areas ana on our people. Thus the second budget resolution for fiscal year 1980 recommends a policy of fiscal restraint tempered by compassion. We recommend spending increases of only 1.8 percent in real terms over 1979. including additions made for energy. defense. and refugee assistance. Compare that with a 5year average real growth for spending of 3.4 percent which is what we have had up to now. Indeed. aside from national defense. energy. and entitlement programs that are driven by the economy. there is no growth in this budget.
