      "summary": "Achievement of a balanced federal budget by 2002 was a high priority for the 105th Congress and the President. After months of negotiations and debate, starting in February 1997 and ending in July 1997, congressional leaders and the White House forged a consensus on legislation to accomplish this goal. The legislation, signed into law by President Clinton on August 5, 1997, sets \u201ccaps\u201d on discretionary spending, constrains entitlement programs, and on balance reduces federal taxes.",
