PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H. CON. RES. 95, 

THE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON THE BUDGET FOR 

FISCAL YEAR 2006 

MARCH 15, 2005.—Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed 

Mr. PUTNAM, from the Committee on Rules, 

submitted the following 

R E P O R T 

[To accompany H. Res. 154] 

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 154, by a non-record vote, report the same to the House 

with the recommendation that the resolution be adopted. 

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

The resolution provides for consideration of H. Con. Res. 95, the 

Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2006, under 

a structured rule. The rule provides for 5 hours of general debate, 

with 4 hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 

ranking minority member of the Committee on Budget, and one 

hour on the subject of economic goals and policies equally divided 

and controlled by Representative Saxton of New Jersey and Representative Maloney of New York or their designees. 

The rule waives all points of order against consideration of the 

concurrent resolution. The rule provides that the concurrent resolution shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule 

and that the concurrent resolution shall be considered as read. The 

rule makes in order only those amendments printed in this report, 

which may be offered only in the order printed in this report, may 

be offered only by a Member designated in this report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified in this report equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject 

to a demand for division of the question in the House and in the 

Committee of the Whole. 

The rule waives all points of order against the amendments 

printed in this report, except that the adoption of an amendment 

2 

in the nature of a substitute shall constitute the conclusion of consideration of the concurrent resolution for amendment. 

The rule permits the chairman of the Budget Committee to offer 

amendments in the House to achieve mathematical consistency. 

The rule provides that the concurrent resolution shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question of its adoption. 

Finally, the rule provides that after passage of H. Con. Res. 95, 

it shall be in order to consider in the House, S. Con. Res. 18, to 

move to strike all after the resolving clause of S. Con. Res. 18, and 

to insert the provisions of H. Con. Res. 95 as passed by the House. 

The rule waives all points of order against S. Con. Res. 18, against 

its consideration, and against the motion to strike and insert. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The Committee is not aware of any points of order against consideration of the Concurrent Resolution. The waiver of all points of 

against consideration of the bill is prophylactic in nature. 

The waiver of all points of order against the amendments printed 

in this report is necessary, because several of the amendments are 

in violation of clause 10 of rule XVIII, which requires that amendments to the budget resolution be mathematically consistent and 

prohibits amendments from proposing to change the appropriate 

level of the public debt set forth in the concurrent resolution, as reported. 

OBLIGATIONS UNDER SEC. 301(c) OF THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET ACT

The Committee notes that certain features of the concurrent resolution originated by the Committee on the Budget might constitute ‘‘procedure or matter which has the effect of changing any 

rule of the House’’ within the meaning of section 301(c) of the 

Budget Act. The Committee has reviewed those features of the concurrent resolution in the course of originating this special order of 

business for its consideration by the House. The Committee believes that this review adequately meets the needs of the Committee and obviates any practical need to refer the concurrent resolution to the Committee.

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS MADE IN ORDER

(Summaries derived from information provided by the amendment sponsor.) 1. Obey: Increases $15.8 billion in FY06 new BA and outlays for 

veterans, education, health care needs, homeland security, the environment and infrastructure. Reduces the FY06 tax benefits for 

those earning more than $1 million, increasing revenues by 

$25.818 billion. (40 minutes) 

2. Hensarling: Replaces the current 19 functional categories with 

four functions: Defense, Homeland Security, Non-Defense Discretionary and Mandatory Spending, and Interest. Accepts the Iraq 

Operations Reserve Fund and creates a new ‘‘rainy day’’ fund for 

non-military emergencies. 

Discretionary Spending: Defense: Accepts the President’s and 

Budget Committee’s levels that provide for a 4.4% increase over 

last year. 

Homeland Security: Accepts the President’s and Budget Committee’s levels that provide for a 3.6% increase over last year. Non-Security Discretionary: Reduces spending by 2% compared to last 

year’s level (the Budget Committee calls for a .7% reduction), which 

is over $5.1 billion more in first-year savings than the Committee’s 

bill. Mandatory Spending: Includes reconciliation instructions reducing the rate of growth of mandatory spending from 6.4% to 6.1% 

(while making no changes to Social Security), which is over $58 billion more in savings than the Budget Committee’s levels and a 

total of $125 billion in savings over five years. The Committees 

would be permitted to apply the savings unevenly across mandatory programs with particular emphasis on exempting earned entitlement programs. 

5 

Taxes: Assumes the Committee’s number for tax relief over the 

next five years, while reconciling the entire amount (the Committee 

reconciles $45 billion of the $107 billion allotted over five years). 

Budget Enforcement: Creates a point of order against consideration of a rule or order reported by the Rules Committee waiving 

sections 302(f) or 303(a) (other than paragraph 2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. This point of order can only be waived 

by a vote of the House but only after 20 minutes of debate on the 

question of consideration. The Rules Committee may not waive this 

point of order. Provides a definition for emergency spending in the 

Budget Resolution. 

Creates a new point of order which can only be waived by a vote 

of the House but only after 10 minutes of debate on the question 

of consideration. The Rules committee may not waive this point of 

order. 

Creates ‘‘Budget Protection Accounts’’ that allow Congress to target spending during the appropriations and direct spending processes and to redirect that spending for deficit reduction or tax relief 

at the end of the fiscal year. Creates a supermajority point of order 

against the consideration of any direct spending legislation (while 

exempting any bill to preserve Social Security which may include 

short-term transition costs) that would increase an on-budget deficit or decrease an on-budget surplus. The Rules Committee may 

not waive this point of order. 

Directs the Budget Committee Chairman to maintain a Budget 

Protection Mandatory Account (BPMA). If a Member offers an 

amendment during floor consideration reducing mandatory spending from either current law levels or the levels proposed in the bill, 

the proponent of the amendment can choose to place the savings 

in the BPMA. If the amendment is adopted, upon passage of the 

bill the Budget Committee Chairman will reduce the applicable 

302(a) allocations and credit those amounts to the BPMA. The 

amendment contains a similar mechanism used for reduction in 

discretionary spending. Requires an automatic vote on a bill, joint 

resolution, or conference report which authorizes or provides new 

BA of not less than $50 million. Restricts the ability of the Speaker 

to entertain a unanimous consent request or motion to suspend 

this section. Provides that Rule XXVII (the Gephardt Rule) will be 

turned off with respect to the adoption by the Congress of a concurrent resolution on the budget for FY06. (40 minutes) 

3. Watt: Raises revenue by rescinding the tax cuts from 2001 and 

2003 for the top two tax brackets, eliminating corporate tax incentives for off-shoring jobs, closing tax loopholes, abusive shelters, 

and methods of tax avoidance, and eliminating the repeal of the 

limitation on itemized deductions (Pease) and the phase-out of personal exemptions (PEP) scheduled to take place between 2006 and 

2010. These funds total an estimated $36.3 billion in FY 2006. 

Uses nearly $4 billion of these additional revenues for deficit reduction. The remaining funds are used to restore cuts and fund increases in specific budget function areas. These include full funding 

for No Child Left Behind and providing funds for school construction and increases for other education and job training programs. 

Allocates additional funding or job creation programs under SBA, 

community and regional development programs, and law enforcement initiatives such as juvenile justice and prisoner reentry proVerDate Aug 04 2004 04:40 Mar 16, 2005 Jkt 039008 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR019.XXX HR019

grams. Provides funding for child nutrition programs, Community 

Health Centers, aeronautics and science research and development, 

Amtrak, and Hope VI and Section 8 Housing Programs. Reduces 

funding for the Ballistic Missile Defense program by $7.8 billion. 

Reallocates this money for homeland security needs, veterans programs and benefits, and additional support for the troops in Iraq. 

(40 minutes) 

4. Spratt: Seeks to balance the budget by 2012. Reverses mandatory cuts likely to fall on Medicaid, veterans, student loans, and 

other services. Provides increased funding for important domestic 

priorities, such as education, veterans, community and regional development, and the environment. Imposes a pay-as-you-go 

(PAYGO) rule, which protects the Social Security Trust Fund surplus by requiring that any mandatory spending increases or tax 

cuts be fully offset. (40 minutes)

TITLE V—SENSE OF THE HOUSE 

SEC. 501. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON SPENDING ACCOUNTABILITY. 

It is the sense of the House that—

(1) authorizing committees should actively engage in oversight utilizing—

(A) the plans and goals submitted by executive agencies 

pursuant to the Government Performance and Results Act 

of 1993; and 

(B) the performance evaluations submitted by such agencies (that are based upon the Program Assessment Rating 

Tool which is designed to improve agency performance);in 

order to enact legislation to eliminate waste, fraud, and 

abuse to ensure the efficient use of taxpayer dollars; 

(2) all Federal programs should be periodically reauthorized 

and funding for unauthorized programs should be level-funded 

in fiscal year 2006 unless there is a compelling justification; 

(3) committees should submit written justifications for earmarks and should consider not funding those most egregiously 

inconsistent with national policy; 

(4) the fiscal year 2006 budget resolution should be vigorously enforced and legislation should be enacted establishing 

statutory limits on appropriations and a PAY-AS-YOU-GO rule 

for new and expanded entitlement programs; and 

(5) Congress should make every effort to offset nonwar-related supplemental appropriations. 

SEC. 502. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON ENTITLEMENT REFORM. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that welfare was successfully reformed through the application of work requirements, education 

and training opportunity, and time limits on eligibility. 

(b) SENSE OF THE HOUSE.—It is the sense of the House that authorizing committees should—

(1) systematically review all means-tested entitlement programs and track beneficiary participation across programs and 

time; 

(2) enact legislation to develop common eligibility requirements for means-tested entitlement programs; 

32 

(3) enact legislation to accurately rename means-tested entitlement programs; 

(4) enact legislation to coordinate program benefits in order 

to limit to a reasonable period of time the Government dependency of means-tested entitlement program participants; 

(5) evaluate the costs of, and justifications for, nonmeanstested, nonretirement-related entitlement programs; and 

(6) identify and utilize resources that have conducted costbenefit analyses of participants in multiple means- and 

nonmeans-tested entitlement programs to understand their cumulative costs and collective benefits. 

SEC. 503. SENSE OF HOUSE REGARDING THE ABOLISHMENT OF OBSOLETE AGENCIES AND FEDERAL SUNSET PROPOSALS. 

(a) The House finds the following: 

(1) The National Commission on the Public Service’s recent 

report, ‘‘Urgent Business For America: Revitalizing The Federal Government For The 21st Century,’’ states that government missions are so widely dispersed among so many agencies that no coherent management is possible. The report also 

states that fragmentation leaves many gaps, inconsistencies, 

and inefficiencies in government oversight and results in an 

unacceptable level of public health protection. 

(2) According to the Commission, there are: more than 35 

food safety laws administered by 12 different federal agencies; 

541 clean air, water, and waste programs in 29 federal agencies; 50 different programs to aid the homeless in eight different Federal agencies; and 27 teen pregnancy programs operated in nine Federal agencies; and 90 early childhood programs 

scattered among 11 Federal agencies. 

(3) According to the General Accounting Office (GAO), there 

are 163 programs with a job training or employment function, 

64 welfare programs of a similar nature, and more than 500 

urban aid programs. 

(4) GAO also indicates 13 agencies coordinate 342 economic 

development programs, but there is very little or no coordination between them. This situation has created a bureaucracy so 

complex that many local communities stop applying for economic assistance. At the same time, the GAO reports that 

these programs often serve as nothing more than funnels for 

pork, have ‘‘no significant effect’’ on the economy, and cost as 

much as $lllll to create each job. 

(5) In 1976, Colorado became the first state to implement a 

sunset mechanism. Today, about half of the Nation’s States 

have some sort of sunset mechanism in effect to monitor their 

legislative branch agencies. On the Federal level, the United 

States Senate in 1978 overwhelmingly passed legislation to 

sunset most of the Government agencies by a vote of 87–1. 

(6) In Texas, ‘‘sunsetting’’ has eliminated 44 agencies and 

saved the taxpayers $lllll million compared with expenditures of $lllll million for the Sunset Commission. 

Based on these estimates, for every dollar spent on the Sunset 

process, the State has received about $— in return. 

(b) It is the Sense of the House that legislation providing for the 

orderly abolishment of obsolete Agencies and providing a federal 

33 

sunset for government programs should be enacted during this 

Congress. 

SEC. 504. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING THE GOALS OF THIS 

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AND THE ELIMINATION OF 

CERTAIN PROGRAMS. 

(a) The House of Representatives finds the following: 

(1) The concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 

2006 should achieve the following key goals: 

(A) Ensure adequate funding is available for essential 

government programs, in particular defense and homeland 

security. 

(B) Foster greater economic growth and increased domestic employment by eliminating those provisions in the 

tax code that discourage economic growth and job creation 

and by extending existing tax relief provisions so as to prevent an automatic tax increase. 

(C) Bring the Federal budget back into balance as soon 

as possible. 

(2) The Government spends billions of dollars each year on 

programs and projects that are of marginal value to the country as a whole. 

(3) Funding for these lower priority programs should be 

viewed in light of the goals of this concurrent resolution and 

whether or not continued funding of these programs advances 

or hinders the achievement of these goals. 

(4) This concurrent resolution assumes that funding for 

many lower priority programs will be reduced or eliminated in 

order increase funding for defense and homeland security while 

at the same time controlling overall spending. 

(b) It is the Sense of the House of Representatives that the following programs should be eliminated: 

(1) Title X Family Planning. 

(2) Corporation for Public Broadcasting. 

(3) National Endowment for the Arts. 

(4) Legal Services Corporation. 

(5) the Advanced Technology Program.

COVERAGE FOR THE UNINSURED. 

In the House, if legislation is reported, or if an amendment 

thereto is offered or a conference report thereon is submitted, that 

provides affordable, comprehensive health insurance to the uninsured and builds upon and strengthens public and private coverage, including preventing the erosion of existing coverage under 

Medicaid, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget may make 

the appropriate adjustments in allocations and aggregates to the 

extent such measure is deficit neutral (whether by changes in revenues or direct spending) in fiscal year 2006 and for the period of 

fiscal years 2006 through 2015. 

SEC. 202. RESERVE FUND FOR NEGOTIATION OF LOWER MEDICARE 

DRUG PRICES. 

(a) IN GENERAL.—In the House, if the Committee on Ways and 

Means or the Committee on Energy and Commerce reports a bill 

or joint resolution, or if an amendment thereto is offered or a conference report thereon is submitted, that provides for a reduction 

in new budget authority and outlays under part D of title XVIII of 

the Social Security Act through authority described in subsection 

(b), insofar as such measure does not provide for new budget authority in the form of a reduction in beneficiary cost-sharing (which 

56 

may include the partial or complete elimination of the so-called 

donut hole) under such part, the chairman of the Committee on the 

Budget shall revise the appropriate budgetary aggregates and allocations of new budget authority and outlays to reflect any resulting 

new savings from such measure. 

(b) AUTHORITY DEFINED.—For purposes of subsection (a), the authority described in this subsection is authority for the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services to negotiate prescription drug prices 

under part D of title XVIII of the Social Security Act, which may 

include either or both of the following:

the chairman of the Committee on the Budget may adjust the appropriate budget aggregates and increase the allocation of new 

budget authority to such committee for fiscal year 2005 and for the 

period of fiscal years 2005 through 2009 to the extent such excess 

is offset by a reduction in mandatory outlays from the Highway 

Trust Fund or an increase in receipts appropriated to such fund for 

the applicable fiscal year caused by such legislation or any previously enacted legislation. 

(b) ADJUSTMENT FOR OUTLAYS.—For fiscal year 2006, in the

and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, and if legislation has 

been enacted that satisfies the conditions set forth in subsection (a) 

for such fiscal year, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget 

may increase the allocation of outlays and appropriate aggregates 

for such fiscal year for the committee reporting such measure by 

the amount of outlays that corresponds to such excess obligation 

57 

limitations, but not to exceed the amount of such excess that was 

offset pursuant to subsection (a). 

TITLE III BUDGET ENFORCEMENT 

SEC. 301. PAY-AS-YOU-GO POINT OF ORDER IN THE HOUSE. 

(a) POINT OF ORDER.—It shall not be in order in the House of 

Representatives to consider any direct spending or revenue legislation that would increase the on-budget deficit or cause an on-budget deficit for any of the following periods: 

(1) The budget year. 

(2) The period of the budget year and the next 4 fiscal years. 

(3) The period of the 5 fiscal years following the period specified in paragraph (2). 

(b) ON-BUDGET DEFICIT.— (1) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this section, the term ‘‘onbudget deficit’’ means a budget deficit that occurs in any year 

in which total outlays exceed total revenues, counting Federal

(d) EXPIRATION.—This section shall expire on December 31, 2015. 

TITLE IV—SENSE OF THE HOUSE 

SEC. 401. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON DEFENSE PRIORITIES. 

It is the sense of the House that— (1) increasing Service members Group Life Insurance (SGLI) coverage to $400,000 and providing free coverage to those in 

combat, and increasing the death gratuity to $100,000, are 

high priorities which should not have been omitted from the 

President’s budget request; 

(2) continuing targeted pay increases for enlisted personnel 

and increasing reenlistment bonuses are also high priorities 

which should not have been omitted from the President’s budget request because they are critical to the retention of experienced personnel; 

(3) increasing funds for family service centers to support 

families of deploying service members is a high priority, and 

the President’s budget should have requested sufficient funding for this purpose; 

(4) increasing funds for community-based health care organizations is a high priority to enable injured service men and 

women to receive the care they need close to home, and the 

President’s budget should have included sufficient funding for 

this purpose; 

(5) funding cooperative threat reduction and nuclear nonproliferation programs at a level adequate to the task and the 

risks to our nation is also a high priority and was recVerDate Aug 04 2004 04:40 Mar 16, 2005 Jkt 039008 PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR019.XXX HR019
58 

ommended five years ago by the Baker-Cutler Commission, 

and the President’s budget should have requested sufficient 

funding in this area; 

(6) funding the Missile Defense Agency at a substantial but 

lower level will ensure a more measured acquisition strategy, 

yet still support a robust ballistic missile defense program; 

(7) funding satellite research, development, and procurement 

at a level above the amount enacted for 2005 but below the 

amount requested for 2006, which represents an increase of 

more than 50 percent, will provide adequate funding for new 

satellite technologies, while ensuring a more prudent acquisition strategy; 

(8) improving financial management at the Department of 

Defense should identify billions of dollars of obligations and 

disbursements which the Government Accountability Office 

has found that the Department of Defense cannot account for, 

and should result in substantial annual savings; 

(9) all savings that accrue from the actions recommended in 

paragraphs (6) through (8) should be used to fund higher priorities within the national security function of the budget, function 050, and especially those high priorities identified in paragraphs (1) through (5), as well as a strong ship force and defense-related homeland security activities. 

SEC. 402. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON EXTENSION OF THE PAY-AS-YOUGO RULE OF 1997. 

It is the sense of the House that in order to reduce the deficit, 

Congress should extend PAYGO in its original form in the Budget 

Enforcement Act of 1990, making the rule apply both to tax decreases and to mandatory spending increases. 

SEC. 403. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING FUNDING FOR THE MANUFACTURING EXTENSION PARTNERSHIP. 

It is the sense of the House that—

(1) this resolution provides a total of $110 million for the 

Manufacturing Extension Partnership for 2006, $63 million 

more than the President’s request, and supports adequate 

funding throughout the period covered by this resolution; and 

(2) this funding protects the viability of the Manufacturing 

Extension Partnership and provides the necessary resources 

for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership to continue helping small manufacturers reach their optimal performance and 

create jobs. 

SEC. 404. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON EDUCATION. 

It is the sense of the House that—

(1) the resolution rejects the President’s cuts to elementary 

and secondary education, as well as the President’s proposals 

to increase student costs for college loans and to cut or eliminate programs that help students obtain a post-secondary education; 

(2) the resolution provides a $100 annual increase in the 

maximum Pell Grant award in each of the next ten years, and 

assumes increased efficiency in the student loan programs; and 

(3) the mandatory levels in this resolution provide the $4.3 

billion needed to eliminate the current shortfall in the Pell 

59 

Grant program, restoring the program to a sound financial 

basis. 

SEC. 405. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON HOMELAND SECURITY. 

It is the sense of the House that—

(1) this resolution provides additional homeland security 

funding above the President’s requested level for 2006 and 

every subsequent year; 

(2) this resolution provides $llll above the President’s 

requested level for 2006, and greater amounts in subsequent 

years, in the four budget functions (Function 400 Transportation; Function 450 Community and Regional Development; 

Function 550 Health; and Function 750 Administration of Justice) which fund most nondefense homeland security activities; 

and 

(3) the homeland security funding provided in this resolution 

will help to strengthen the security of our Nation’s transportation system and other critical infrastructure, including our 

seaports, and help secure our borders, increase the preparedness of our public health system, train and equip our first responders, and otherwise strengthen the Nation’s homeland security. 

SEC. 406. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING PAY PARITY. 

It is the sense of the House that—

(1) compensation for civilian and military employees of the 

United States, without whom we cannot successfully serve and 

protect our citizens and taxpayers, must be sufficient to support our critical efforts to recruit, retain, and reward quality 

people effectively and responsibly; and 

(2) to achieve this objective, the rate of increase in the compensation of civilian employees should be equal to that proposed for the military in the President’s fiscal year 2006 budget. 

SEC. 407. POLICY. 

It is the policy of this budget resolution to balance long-term deficit reduction with middle-income tax relief. To this end, this resolution assumes tax relief, subject to the PAYGO requirements as 

imposed in section 301, which includes the following: 

(1) extension of the child tax credit; 

(2) extension of marriage penalty relief; 

(3) extension of the 10 percent individual bracket; 

(4) modification of the alternative minimum tax to minimize 

its impact on middle-income taxpayers; 

(5) elimination of estate taxes on all but the very largest estates by reforming and substantially increasing the unified 

credit; 

(6) extension of the research and experimentation tax credit; 

(7) extension of the deduction for State and local sales taxes. 

To meet the revenue requirements of this resolution and to comply 

with the PAYGO requirements imposed in section 301, this budget 

resolution assumes revenue measures such as: strengthening tax 

compliance; imposing measures to close corporate tax avoidance devices; and continuing the current limitations on personal exemptions and itemized deductions (so-called ‘‘PEP’’ and ‘‘Pease’’) - the 

60 

repeal of which disproportionately benefits taxpayers with annual 

incomes exceeding $1 million. 

SEC. 408. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING THE NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION. 

It is the sense of the House that the budget should reject the cuts 

to Amtrak in the President’s budget and should provide sufficient 

resources to allow Amtrak to carry forward its mission and operations. 

SEC. 409. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON TAX SIMPLIFICATION AND TAX 

FAIRNESS. 

It is the sense of the House that—

(1) the current tax system has been made increasingly complex and unfair to the detriment of the vast majority of working Americans; 

(2) constant change and manipulation of the tax code have 

adverse effects on taxpayers understanding and trust in the 

Nation’s tax laws; 

(3) these increases in complexity and lack of clarity have 

made compliance more challenging for the average taxpayer 

and small business owner; and 

(4) this budget resolution contemplates a comprehensive review of recent changes in the tax code, leading to future action 

to reduce the tax burden and compliance burden for middle-income workers and their families in the context of tax reform 

that makes the Federal tax code simpler and fairer to all taxpayers, and ensures that this generation of Americans does not 

force future generations to pay our bills.
