"While the conservative Republican Study Committee has criticized the $873 billion in domestic discretionary spending included in the budget, the group’s leader, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), said last week that lawmakers have nonetheless offered conditional support for the measure.
"That support, however, is largely contingent on agreement from leadership on a quartet of reform proposals, Pence said, including strong earmark reforms; a measure granting presidential line-item veto authority; restrictions on emergency spending; and the creation of a "sunset" commission to pinpoint outdated programs."
