House/Senate 1990 budget compromise
Executive Summary
Passed by full House May 17 and Senate May 18, joint conference report includes $ 100 mil. in "unspecified savings" in the health program, apparently inspired by the Administration's plan to raise $ 100 mil. for FDA through user fees. Endorsement of report clears the way for committee action. FDA budget reconciliation legislation will be marked up by Senate Labor & Human Resources and House Energy & Commerce Committees; Medicare budget is under the jurisdiction of House Ways & Means and Senate Finance Committees. . . .
