我的办公厅副主任厄斯金·鲍尔斯是我的密友兼高尔夫球友。 他是一位极好的管理人员，是我们同商界之间最好的联络员，他也要返乡了。

My deputy chief of staff, Erskine Bowles, who had become a close friend and golfing partner and who was a superb manager and our best liaison to the business community, was going home, too.

尽管如此，鉴于国会议员的组成结构，这个预算案还是很了不起的，这都要归功于厄斯金·鲍尔斯的谈判技巧。

Still, it was a superb budget, given the political composition of Congress, and a real tribute to the negotiating skills of Erskine Bowles.
