Rep. Charles Steholm, member of the House Budget Committee, held a news conference in the U.S. Capitol to respond to a news conference by House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Leon Panetta, held earlier in the day. Rep. Stenholm advocated the passage of a Constitutional amendment that would force the government to create a balanced federal budget, and criticized deficit reduction proposals that were partisan and that would not be passed by the Congress and the president. Rep. Panetta, in his news conference, had criticized supporters of such an amendment, and asked them to cite specific cuts in the federal budget that they would make in order to balance the budget. close
