White House Plans Further Rescissions After $9 Billion Package

The White House is preparing to follow the pending $9 billion rescissions bill now moving through Congress with at least one additional package, Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought told reporters on Thursday. The current legislation would claw back previously appropriated funds for foreign aid and public broadcasting. Vought declined to provide details on the contents or timing of the next proposal but said it is "likely to come soon," indicating the administration intends a broader effort to cancel unobligated spending.
