...Clinton and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, House Speaker Newt Gingrich and House Majority Leader Dick Armey will hold a budget summit at the White House Friday. Talks got back on track after White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta met Thursday with Sen. Pete Domenici and Rep. John Kasich, the chairmen of the Senate and House Banking Committees. House Republicans have said that they will not pass a continuing resolution to end the partial federal shutdown until the budget deal is completed...
...GOPAC disclosures put Gingrich under a cloud just as his party enters the final weeks of budget negotiations with the White House. To allay the image problem, Gingrich transferred responsibility for day-to-day budget bargaining to majority leader Dick Armey and Budget Committee chairman John Kasich. To some extent, Gingrich will try to rely on others, including such unlikely spokesmen as freshman J.C. Watts of Oklahoma, to make the sales pitches on talk shows and press conferences. Gingrich has even vowed to get more sleep. The self-benching has some Gingrich aides worried about the "message vacuum" that will...
...John Kasich, chairman of the House Budget Committee and a chief architect of G.O.P. spending cuts, met in early September with a group of first-term House Republicans and presented them with a fistful of newspaper clips about breaks that the new Congress had given to business.

The plan includes $245 billion in tax cuts and $894 billion in spending cuts that hit Medicare, Medicaid and social services heavily. Action now moves to the appropriations committees where,TIME's Karen Tumultyreports, "the real work is already being done." The triumphant GOP package, she adds, falls short of promises by Kasich...
Among many programs Kasich recommended killing was the Overseas Private Investment Corp., a $34 million-a-year agency venture that promotes exports to countries where U.S. businesses have been reluctant to operate. The Republican House formally endorsed its demise in foreign-aid legislation as well. How did the appropriators respond? By more than doubling opic's budget. The Budget Committee also recommended doing away with the Energy Department entirely. But if the energy subcommittee gets its way, the department will be cut by a mere 6% next year, or $940 million...
