 ROLLING STONEBush's Most Radical Plan Yet

      WIth a vote of hand-picked lobbyists, the president could terminate 
any federal agency he dislikes

      By OSHA GRAY DAVIDSON


If you've got something to hide in Washington, the best place to bury it is 
in the federal budget. The spending plan that President Bush submitted to 
Congress this year contains 2,000 pages that outline funding to safeguard 
the environment, protect workers from injury and death, crack down on 
securities fraud and ensure the safety of prescription drugs. But almost 
unnoticed in the budget, tucked away in a single paragraph, is a provision 
that could make every one of those protections a thing of the past.
The proposal, spelled out in three short sentences, would give the president 
the power to appoint an eight-member panel called the "Sunset Commission," 
which would systematically review federal programs every ten years and 
decide whether they should be eliminated. Any programs that are not 
"producing results," in the eyes of the commission, would "automatically 
terminate unless the Congress took action to continue them."
