SEC. 202. EXTENSION OF PAY-AS-YOU-GO POINT

OF ORDER.

(a) PURPOSE.—The Senate declares that it

be revised for legislation that reduces revenues within a committee’s jurisdiction if

that welfare program, if that committee reports such legislation.

(2) DISCRETIONARY SPENDING.—In the Senate and the House of Representatives, budget

authority and outlays allocated to the Committee on Appropriations, and (in the Senate) the discretionary spending limits in section 201 of this resolution, may be increased,

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should be repealed and consideration should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.

the same meaning as under section 250(c)(21)

of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.

loan origination, loan servicing, management of contractors, and payments to contractors, other government entities, and program participants;

(B) collection of delinquent loans; and

SEC. 208. EXTENSION OF BUDGET ACT 60-VOTE

ENFORCEMENT THROUGH 2002.

Notwithstanding section 275(b) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 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

the ‘‘Director’’). The Director shall provide

an estimate of whether the enactment of the

bill, as reported, would result in a balanced

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.

(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

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 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

the Congressional Budget Office in Table B4 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

chairman shall submit a report to the House

that revises the appropriate budgetary allocations, aggregates, and totals to be consistent with the instructions set forth in section 105(a)(2)(B)(xii)(II).

SEC. 211. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS.

The Congress adopts the provisions of this

title—

(1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power

of the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such they shall be

considered as part of the rules of each House,

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

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;

Marketing Association should be restructured as a private corporation.

SEC. 303. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING

T89.10 JUNE 29

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

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

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;

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.

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 $540,000,000,000,000.

(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.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

1079

1995 T89.13

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.

And the Senate agree to the same.
