scott, for his questions. >> dr. elmendorf, thank you. i would like to call up the first chart.s this one you are looking at. as you can see, this is a chart of the deficit going back to 19 1980. you will notice the blue bar shows the deficit, a significant deficit was inherited, eliminated, and we went up to surplus. the projected 10-year surplus starting in 2001, 10-year surplus was about $5.5 trillion. could you -- what happened in 1991 to create that chart, the blue part of the chart? in 1993, i'm sorry. >> well, as you know, congressman, during the 1990's there were significant policy actions taken to narrow the deficit. there was also an economic recovery and boom that increased revenues and increased spending. >> did the votes in 1993 help create that chart? >> yes, they did, congressman. >> what happened had 2001? >> well, as you know, the economy was in recession and also there were legislative actions taken that widened the deficit. >> 2001? >> excuse me? >> when did the recession in 2001 start? >> well, i actually have that. it started in march of 2001 and ended in no
