The Clinton plan

Article Abstract:

Pres Bill Clinton's four-year economic program aimed to reduce the US budget deficit and generate employment. It includes a $30 billion stimulus plan which would increase federal spending in civil-engineering related projects. The American Society of Civil Engineers supports the government's gas tax proposals and the deferment of the deduction of employer-sponsored employee education. However, the society rejects the planto use motor-fuel taxes for non-transportation projects. Legislators have airedsome reservations about the Clinton plan, resulting in a restudy of the FY 1994budget.
