the best statistical evidence available, could demon-

|
2
|
strate so that any court or jury in the land would
|
|
3
|
acknowledge that he was correct in showing that you
|
|
4
|
had a mistake, this constitutional provision protects
|
|
5
|
you from recognizing that mistake unless you want to.

DU. SENSENBAUGH: Well, I don't think that
|
|
7
|
a situation like that, a pointed mistake, would go un-
|
|
8
|
recognized.

MR. CASE: Well, the issue is not whether
|
|
10
|
you would or wouldn't recognize it. It is whether you
|
|
11
|
would have to recognize it, whether you could be re-
|
|
12
|
quired to recognize it.

DR. SENSENBAUGH: I think we're missing the
|
|
14
|
whole point of this provision. The purpose of that
|
|
15
|
provision means, it is designed so that the government,
|
|
16
|
the executive department cannot make major changes in
|
|
17
|
the. coverage that the budget is supposed to give. I
|
|
18
|
think we are grabbing here at straws when we talk
|
|
19
|
about small figures and computations.
|
|

|
MR. CASE: Well, maybe they wouldn't be
|
|
21
|
small figures. They could be big figures.
