LUCAS STATEMENT ON FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
November 18, 2005

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Third District Congressman Frank Lucas made the following statement following his vote to restrain federal spending today. Lucas voted today for the Deficit Reduction Act, which passed the U.S. House by a vote of 217 to 215:

"We must use the same responsible logic in spending federal dollars that American families use. When family budgets are strained, they cut back their spending, and the federal government should use the same restraint. Today in the U.S. House we passed the Deficit Reduction Act, which reforms government programs and will save taxpayers almost $50 billion to keep our government on a sound fiscal footing."
