Mr. Stockman. that the advice and counsel to the President would be to sign the compromise that we had worked out here on the Senate side. We met with the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives yesterday. and through a series of amendments that they brought to the conference we adopted approximately $156 million of program addons. including money for summer employment. refugees assistance. nurses training. $72 million for the Federal Highway System. and $42 million for the Postal Service program. In order to keep the total figure within the realm with which the administrator had agreed. we had a further rescission of $171 million in rent supplements. We were in some ways talking about apples and oranges. but in the longterm impact on future outlays and out year budgets the rescission will have a very salutary effect of bringing down the cost of the housing programs in this Nation.
