Researchers should consult the archivist about related material. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 originated from a budget proposal made by President Clinton in February 1993, a month after taking office, which combined strategic tax increases and spending reductions to cut the national deficit in half by 1997. After months of negotiations, the bill was passed by a very slim margin in both the House and Senate, as not a single Republican voted in favor of it, and some Democrats voted against it as well. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 was signed into law by President Bill Clinton August 10, 1993. The act raised fuel taxes and increased both the corporate income tax rate and the top federal income tax rate and incorporated $255 billion in federal spending cuts over the planned five-year period. As a result, in 1998 the United States federal government experienced its first budget surplus since 1969. Electronic records responsive to this request primarily include White House Press Office releases and updates on Congressional schedules and voting results.
