...Senate duties, assuming the chairmanship of the new Budget Committee in 1975. He succeeded in forging a bipartisan coalition that this year, for the first time, produced a balanced budget. He somewhat modified his New Deal liberalism and became more of a fiscal conservative, though he continued to rage at what he considered to be overzealous budget cutters.
