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.
