SEC. 5. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING SOCIAL SECURITY.

It is the sense of the House of Representatives that legislation should be enacted that:

(1) Prohibits the use of the surplus funds

collected as part of the social security payroll tax from being used to balance the budget or reduce the deficit.

(2) Starting in 1996, sets aside these surplus

funds to preserve and protect the social security system.

(3) Establishes a bipartisan commission to

oversee the protection of these surplus funds,

the primary purpose of which is to establish

a safe and secure mechanism to preserve

these funds.

(4) Provides that as the Federal debt is repaid, the social security funds that are currently part of the $4,900,000,000,000 Federal

debt as well as interest on these funds shall

also be repaid and set aside under the mechanism established under paragraphs (2) and

(3).

SEC. 6. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING DEBT

REPAYMENT.

It is the sense of the House of Representatives that:

(1) The Congress has a basic moral and ethical responsibility to future generations to

repay the Federal debt. The Congress should

enact a plan that not only balances the

budget but also institutes a regimen for paying off the Federal debt.

(2) After the budget is balanced, spending

should be allowed to grow at a rate slower

than expected revenues so that a surplus is

created which can be used to begin paying off

the debt.

(3) Such a plan should be enacted into law

so that this generation can save our children

and grandchildren from the crushing burdens

of the Federal debt.
