        (2) the period of fiscal years 1996 through 2000; or
        (3) the period of fiscal years 2001 through 2005.

    entitlement authority, allocated to a committee may be revised, 
    pursuant to subsection (b)(1), for legislation in that committee's 
    jurisdiction that has the effect of reducing direct spending for a 
    welfare program and authorizes an increase in discretionary 
    spending for that welfare program, if that committee reports such 
    legislation.
        (2) Discretionary spending.--In the Senate and the House of

        (4) Certification.--If the Congressional Budget Office 
    certifies that such legislative recommendations would balance the 
    total budget by fiscal year 2002, the Chairman shall submit such 
    certification in his respective House.
    (b) Procedure in the Senate.--
        (1) Adjustments.--For the purposes of points of order under the 
    Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and this concurrent resolution on 
    the budget, the appropriate budgetary allocations and aggregates

SEC. 206. SALE OF GOVERNMENT ASSETS.

    (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
        (1) the prohibition on scoring asset sales has discouraged the 
    sale of assets that can be better managed by the private sector and 
    generate receipts to reduce the Federal budget deficit;
        (2) the President's fiscal year 1996 budget included 
    $8,000,000,000 in receipts from asset sales and proposed a change 
    in the asset sale scoring rule to allow the proceeds from these 
    sales to be scored;
        (3) assets should not be sold if such sale would increase the 
    budget deficit over the long run; and
        (4) the asset sale scoring prohibition should be repealed and 
    consideration should be given to replacing it with a methodology 
    that takes into account the long-term budgetary impact of asset 
    sales.
    (b) Budgetary Treatment.--For purposes of any concurrent resolution 
on the budget and the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the amounts 
realized from sales of assets shall be scored with respect to the level 
of budget authority, outlays, or revenues.
    (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the term ``sale of 
an asset'' shall have the same meaning as under section 250(c)(21) of 
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
    (d) Treatment of Loan Assets.--For the purposes of this section, 
the sale of loan assets or the prepayment of a loan shall be governed 
by the terms of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990.

SEC. 207. CREDIT REFORM AND DIRECT STUDENT LOANS.

    For the purposes of any concurrent resolution on the budget and the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the cost of a direct loan under the 
Federal direct student loan program shall be the net present value, at 
the time when the direct loan is disbursed, of the following cash flows 
for the estimated life of the loan:
        (1) Loan disbursements.
        (2) Repayments of principal.
        (3) Payments of interest and other payments by or to the 
    Government over the life of the loan after adjusting for estimated 
    defaults, prepayments, fees, penalties, and other recoveries.
        (4) Direct expenses, including--
            (A) activities related to credit extension, loan 
        origination, loan servicing, management of contractors, and 
        payments to contractors, other government entities, and program 
        participants;
            (B) collection of delinquent loans; and
            (C) writeoff and closeout of loans.

SEC. 208. EXTENSION OF BUDGET ACT 60-VOTE ENFORCEMENT THROUGH 2002.

Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as amended by sections 13112(b) and 
13208(b)(3) of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990), the second sentence 
of section 904(c) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (except 
insofar as it relates to section 313 of that Act) and the final 
sentence of section 904(d) of that Act (except insofar as it relates to 
section 313 of that Act) shall continue to have effect as rules of the 
Senate through (but no later than) September 30, 2002.
SEC. 209. REPEAL OF IRS ALLOWANCE.

    Section 25 of House Concurrent Resolution 218 (103d Congress, 2d 
Session) is repealed.

    out this resolution, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget of 
    the House shall submit such legislation to the Director of the 
    Congressional Budget Office (hereinafter in this section referred 
    to as the ``Director''). The Director shall provide an estimate of 
    whether the enactment of the bill, as reported, would result in a 
    balanced total budget by fiscal year 2002.

    estimated by the Director would so balance the budget, the chairman 
    of the Committee on the Budget is authorized to so certify.
        (B) If the enactment of the bill as estimated by the Director 
    would not so balance the budget, the chairman of the Committee on 
    the Budget shall notify the chairman of the Committee on Rules. The 
    Committee on Rules may recommend to the House a resolution 
    providing for the consideration of an amendment in the nature of a 
    substitute consisting of the text of the reconciliation bill 
    reported by the Committee on the Budget, modified by amendments to 
    achieve a balanced budget by fiscal year 2002 and amendments 
    described in section 310(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
    1974, as an original bill for purposes of amendment.
        (C) If the Committee on Rules so recommends, the chairman of 
    the Committee on the Budget shall submit the substitute text to the 
    Director, who shall provide an estimate of whether the substitute 
    text would balance the total budget by fiscal year 2002. If the 
    enactment of the bill as estimated by the Director would so balance 
    the budget, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget is 
    authorized to so certify.
        (3) Basis of estimate.--In preparing any estimate under this 
    section, the Director shall include the budgetary impact of all 
    legislation enacted through the date of submission of that estimate 
    and of all legislation incorporated by reference in the 
    reconciliation bill, use the economic and technical assumptions 
    underlying this resolution, assume compliance with the total 
    discretionary levels assumed in this resolution unless superseded 
    by law, and include changes in outlays and revenues estimated to 
    result from the economic impact of balancing the budget by fiscal 
    year 2002 as estimated by the Congressional Budget Office in Table 
    B-4 in Appendix B of its Analysis of the President's Budgetary 
    Proposals for Fiscal Year 1996.
    (b) Procedure in the House of Representatives.--
        (1) Adjustments.--Upon certification by the chairman of the 
    Committee on the Budget of the House under subsection (a), the

    appropriate budgetary allocations, aggregates, and totals to be 
    consistent with the instructions set forth in section 
    105(a)(2)(B)(xii)(II).
        (2) Effect of revised allocations, aggregates, and totals.--In 
    the House of Representatives, revised allocations, aggregates, and 
    totals submitted under paragraph (1) shall be deemed as the 
    allocations, aggregates, and totals contained in this resolution 
    for all purposes under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
        (3) Statement regarding point of order.--If the chairman of the 
    House Committee on the Budget does not certify a balanced budget by

    would be subject to a point of order under the Congressional Budget 
    Act of 1974.

    the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such they shall 
    be considered as part of the rules of each House, or of that House 
    to which they specifically apply, and such rules shall supersede 
    other rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent 
    therewith; and
        (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of either 
    House to change those rules (so far as they relate to that House) 
    at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the

    It is the sense of the Congress that, in order to meet the 
aggregate levels in this budget resolution--
        (1) the committees of jurisdiction should give high priority to 
    proposals that identify, eliminate, and recover funds expended from 
    the medicare trust funds due to fraud and abuse in the medicare 
    program in order to address the long-term solvency of medicare; and
        (2) any funds recovered from enhanced antifraud and abuse 
    efforts should be used to enhance the solvency of medicare.

SEC. 302. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING PRIVATIZATION OF THE STUDENT LOAN 
              MARKETING ASSOCIATION (SALLIE MAE).

    It is the sense of the Congress that the Student Loan Marketing 
Association should be restructured as a private corporation.

SEC. 303. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE DEBT LIMIT.

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
        (1) the reconciliation legislation under section 105 of this 
    budget resolution should be enacted prior to passage of legislation 
    that will extend the public debt limit; and
        (2) the extension of the public debt should be set at levels 
    and for durations that ensure a balanced budget by fiscal year 
    2002, consistent with this budget resolution.
SEC. 304. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ASSUMPTIONS.

    It is the sense of the Congress that the aggregates and functional 
levels included in this budget resolution assume that--
        (1) Federal programs should be restructured to meet identified 
    priorities in the most effective and efficient manner, to eliminate 
    obsolete programs, and to reduce duplication;
        (2) Federal programs should be reviewed to determine whether 
    they are more appropriately the responsibility of the States and, 
    for programs that should be under State responsibility, that--
            (A) Federal funding of these programs should be provided in 
        a manner that rewards work, promotes families, and provides a 
        helping hand during times of crisis;
            (B) the programs should be returned in the form of block 
        grants that provide maximum flexibility to the States and 
        localities to ensure the maximum benefit at the least cost to 
        the American taxpayer;
            (C) Federal funds should not supplant existing expenditures 
        by other sources, both public and private; and
            (D) the Federal interest in the program should be protected 
        with adequate safeguards, such as auditing or maintenance of 
        effort provisions, and that Federal goals and principles may be 
        appropriate;
        (3) Congress should examine Federal functions to determine 
    those that could be more conveniently, efficiently, and effectively 
    performed by the private sector and, in order to facilitate the 
    privatization of these functions--
            (A) provisions of law that prohibit or ``lockout'' the 
        private sector from competing for the provision of certain 
        services should be eliminated;
            (B) section 257(e) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
        Deficit Control Act of 1985 should be repealed or modified to 
        permit the sale of assets when appropriate to privatization 
        goals;
            (C) each Federal agency and department should be encouraged 
        to develop and evaluate privatization initiatives; and
            (D) the ``Common Rule'', modified by Executive Order 12803, 
        should be modified to delete grant repayment provisions which 
        restrict local governments and prevent private sector 
        investments in Federal-aid facilities;
        (4) Congress, in fulfilling its responsibility to future 
    generations, should--
            (A) enact a plan that balances the budget by 2002 and 
        develop a regimen for paying off the Federal debt; and
            (B) once the budget is in balance, use the surpluses to 
        implement that regimen;
        (5) in considering child nutrition programs--
            (A) reductions in nutrition program spending should be 
        achieved without compromising the nutritional well-being of 
        program recipients;
            (B) school lunches should continue to meet minimal 
        nutrition requirements and should not have to compete with 
        alternative foods of minimal nutritional value during lunch 
        hours; and
            (C) the content of the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) 
        food package should continue to be based on scientific 
        evidence; and
        (6) science and technology development are critical to 
    sustainable long-term economic growth and priority should be given 
    to Federal funding for science and basic and applied research.

SEC. 305. SENSE OF THE SENATE THAT TAX REDUCTIONS SHOULD BENEFIT 
              WORKING FAMILIES.

    It is the sense of the Senate that this concurrent resolution on 
the budget assumes any reductions in taxes should be structured to 
benefit working families by providing family tax relief and incentives 
to stimulate savings, investment, job creation, and economic growth.

SEC. 306. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF AGRICULTURE 
              SAVINGS.

    It is the sense of the Senate that, in response to the 
reconciliation instructions in section 105 of this resolution, the 
Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry should provide 
that no more than 20 percent of the savings be achieved in commodity 
programs.

SEC. 307. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MEDICARE 
              SOLVENCY COMMISSION.

    It is the sense of the Senate that, in order to meet the aggregates 
and levels in this budget resolution--
        (1) a special bipartisan commission should be established 
    immediately to make recommendations on the most appropriate 
    response to the short-term solvency crisis facing medicare;
        (2) the commission should report its recommendations under 
    paragraph (1) at the earliest possible date, in order that the 
    committees of jurisdiction may give due consideration to those 
    recommendations in fashioning their response pursuant to section 
    105 of this resolution; and
        (3) the commission should study, evaluate, and make 
    recommendations to sustain the long-term viability of the medicare 
    system and should report those recommendations to Congress by 
    February 1, 1996.

SEC. 308. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING PROTECTION OF CHILDREN'S 
              HEALTH.

    It is the sense of the Senate that, in meeting the aggregates and 
levels in this resolution, the committees of jurisdiction of the 
Senate--
        (1) should give careful consideration to the impact of medicaid 
    reform legislation on children's health; and
        (2) should encourage States to place a priority on funding for 
    low-income pregnant women and children within any medicaid reform 
    legislation that allows greater flexibility to the States in the 
    delivery of care and in controlling the rate of growth in costs 
    under the program.

SEC. 309. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE ASSUMPTIONS.

    It is the sense of the Senate that the aggregates and functional 
levels included in this budget resolution assume that--
        (1) beginning with fiscal year 1997, the Federal government 
    should establish, implement, and maintain a uniform accounting 
    system and provide financial statements in accordance with accepted 
    accounting principles under standards and interpretations 
    recommended by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board;
        (2) Congress should revise the Internal Revenue Code to ensure 
    that very wealthy individuals are not able to reduce or avoid 
    United States income, estate or gift tax liability by relinquishing 
    their U.S. citizenship and, that, any savings resulting from this 
    revision should be used to reduce the deficit;
        (3) in furtherance of the goals of the Decade of the Brain, 
    full funding should be provided for research on brain diseases and 
    disorders;
        (4) the essential air service program should receive sufficient 
    funding to continue to provide air service to small rural 
    communities;
        (5) funds will be made available to reimburse States for the 
    costs of implementing the National Voter Registration Act of 1993;

        (6) a temporary nonpartisan commission should be established to 
    make recommendations concerning the appropriateness and accuracy of 
    the methodology and calculations that determine the Consumer Price 
    Index (CPI) and those recommendations should be submitted to the 
    Bureau of Labor Statistics at the earliest possible date.

SEC. 310. HOUSE STATEMENT ON AGRICULTURE SAVINGS.

    The House of Representatives shall re-examine budget reductions for 
agricultural programs in the United States Department of Agriculture 
for fiscal years 1999 and 2000 unless the following conditions are met:
        (1) Land values on agricultural land on January 1, 1998, are at 
    least 95 percent of the same values on the date of adoption of this 
    resolution.
        (2) There is enacted into law regulatory relief for the 
    agricultural sector in the areas of wetlands regulation, the 
    Endangered Species Act, private property rights and cost-benefit 
    analyses of proposed regulations.
        (3) There is tax relief for producers in the form of capital 
    gains tax reduction, increased estate tax exemptions and mechanisms 
    to average tax loads over strong and weak income years.
        (4) There is no government interference in the international 
    market in the form of agricultural trade embargoes in effect and 
    there is successful implementation and enforcement of trade 
    agreements, including the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 
    (GATT) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to lower 
    export subsidies and reduce import barriers to trade imposed by 
    foreign governments.

SEC. 311. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON BASELINES.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds that--
        (1) baselines are projections of future spending if existing 
    policies remain unchanged;
        (2) under baseline assumptions, spending automatically rises 
    with inflation even if such increases are not provided under 
    current law;
        (3) baseline budgeting is inherently biased against policies 
    that would reduce the projected growth in spending because such 
    policies are scored as a reduction from a rising baseline; and
        (4) the baseline concept has encouraged Congress to abdicate 
    its constitutional responsibility to control the public purse for 
    programs which are automatically funded under existing law.
    (b) Sense of the House.--It is the sense of the House of 
Representatives that baseline budgeting should be replaced with a form 
of budgeting that requires full justification and analysis of budget 
proposals and maximizes congressional accountability for public 
spending.

SEC. 312. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING A COMMISSION ON THE SOLVENCY OF 
              THE FEDERAL MILITARY AND CIVIL SERVICE RETIREMENT FUNDS.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds that the Federal 
retirement system, for both military and civil service retirees, 
currently has liabilities of $1,100,000,000,000, while holding assets 
worth $340,000,000,000 and anticipating employee contributions of 
$220,000,000,000, which leaves an unfunded liability of 
$540,000,000,000.
    (b) Sense of House.--It is the sense of the House of 
Representatives that a high-level commission should be convened to 
study the problems associated with the Federal retirement system and 
make recommendations that will ensure the long-term solvency of the 
military and civil service retirement funds.

SEC. 313. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING THE REPEAL OF HOUSE RULE XLIX.

    It is the sense of the House that rule XLIX of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives (popularly known as the Gephardt rule) should 
be repealed.

SEC. 314. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON EMERGENCIES.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representative finds that--
        (1) The Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 exempted from the 
    discretionary spending limits and the Pay-As-You-Go requirements 
    for entitlement and tax legislation funding requirements that are 
    designated by Congress and the President as an emergency.
        (2) Congress and the President have increasingly misused the 
    emergency designation by--
            (A) designating funding as an emergency that is neither 
        unforeseen nor a genuine emergency; and
            (B) circumventing spending limits or passing controversial 
        items that would not pass scrutiny in a free-standing bill.
    (b) Sense of the House.--It is the sense of the House that Congress 
should study alternative approaches to budgeting for emergencies, 
including codifying the definition of an emergency and establishing 
contingency funds to pay for emergencies.
Attest:

                                 Clerk of the House of Representatives.

                                               Secretary of the Senate.
