No one has done that. and yet we talk about increases here. Nine billion dollars in prior domestic spending commitments that were made by this Congress. by this President were already there. Those are prior commitments. There are $8 billion in technical additions to fund new legislation enacted last year. What is that new legislation? Immigration reform. for example. that was not included in the 1987 provisions for base line. In addition. last years domestic base line was low by some $7 billion due to asset sales and other onetime savings. Since these artificial reductions do not occur in 1988. spending appears to increase.
