We were forced to give up in conference on $0.8 billion in legislative savings in the food stamp program that the Senate had included in its resolution. The resolution now assumes only the $0.6 billion in savings reflected in S. 1309 signed by the President earlier. Similarly. the conference accepted the administrations request to include in the amendment to the fiscal year 1980 second budget resolution an additional $2 billion in budget authority and $1 billion in outlays for disaster relief and refugee assistance over and above the levels contained in the Senate resolution. These additions further refute the charge that this is an insensitive. heartless budget and any complaints that the White House might have regarding the conference agreement can only be attributable to a misunderstanding of their own budget or election year chatter. In summary.
