making our tax system fairer by closing corporate tax loopholes and 

preferences, saving trillions of dollars on the deficit over the next

priorities within a fiscally responsible framework that reduces the 

deficit to a sustainable 2.4 percent of GDP by 2023. (30 minutes)

preceding fiscal year 2014 is 6.7 percent. 

(2) For means-tested direct spending, the estimate average 

rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the 10-year 

period beginning with fiscal year 2014 is 6.2 percent under current law. 

(3) This concurrent resolution retains the social safety net 

that has lifted millions of Americans out of poverty and protects both the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and 

Medicaid from draconian spending cuts. 

(b) NONMEANS-TESTED DIRECT SPENDING.— (1) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the average rate of 

growth in the total level of outlays during the 10-year period 

preceding fiscal year 2014 is 5.9 percent. 

(2) For nonmeans-test direct spending, the estimated average 

rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the 10-year 

period beginning with fiscal year 2014 is 5.3 percent under current law. 

(3) The following reforms are proposed in this concurrent 

resolution for nonmeans-tested direct spending: 

(A) For Medicare, this budget rejects proposals to end 

the Medicare guarantee and shift rising health care costs 

onto seniors by replacing Medicare with vouchers or premium support for the purchase of private insurance. Such 

proposals will expose seniors and persons with disabilities 

on fixed incomes to unacceptable financial risks, and they 

will weaken the traditional Medicare program. Instead,

this budget builds on the success of the Affordable Care 

Act, which made significant strides in health-care cost containment and put into place a framework for continuous 

innovation. This budget supports comprehensive reforms to 

give physicians and other care providers incentives to provide high-quality, coordinated, efficient care, in a manner 

consistent with the goals of fiscal sustainability. It makes 

no changes that reduce benefits available to seniors and 

individuals with disabilities in Medicare. 

(B) Any savings derived from changes or reforms to 

Medicare and Social Security should be used to extend the 

solvency of these vital programs and not be used to offset 

the cost of cutting taxes.

TITLE II—ESTIMATES OF DIRECT 

SPENDING 

SEC. 201. DIRECT SPENDING. 

(a) MEANS-TESTED DIRECT SPENDING.— (1) For means-tested direct spending, the average rate of 

growth in the total level of outlays during the 10-year period 

preceding fiscal year 2014 is 6.7 percent. 

(2) For means-tested direct spending, the estimated average 

rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the 11-year 

period beginning with fiscal year 2013 is 6.3 percent under current law. 

(3) The following reforms are proposed in this concurrent 

resolution for means-tested direct spending: 

(A) State budgets have suffered significantly during the 

economic downturn. According to the National Governor’s 

Association, half of all states are projecting lower total revenues in 2013 than they saw in 2008. To assist struggling 

states, the Back to Work Budget temporarily increases 

funding for Medicaid – the single largest portion of total 

state spending – through the Federal Medical Assistance 

Percentages program. This will help stabilize Medicaid, 

which is a vital program for low-income and middle-class 

families, providing health and long-term care services to 

those stricken with catastrophic illness, injury, or disability, or facing prolonged infirmity. 

(B) The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act expanded a number of tax credits targeted at working families to boost relief during hard economic times. The Back 

to Work Budget retains the improvements made to the 

Earned Income Tax Credit (qualifying children and phaseout range), Child and Dependent Care Credit, and the 

American Opportunity Tax Credit. These credits fuel demand for American businesses by putting money in the 

hands of families that truly need it. 

(b) NONMEANS-TESTED DIRECT SPENDING.— 

(1) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the average rate of 

growth in the total level of outlays during the 10-year period 

preceding fiscal year 2014 is 5.9 percent. 

(2) For non means-tested direct spending, the estimated average rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the 11- 

year period beginning with fiscal year 2013 is 5.1 percent 

under current law. 

(3) The following reforms are proposed in this concurrent 

resolution for nonmeans-tested direct spending: 

(A) Medicare is a cornerstone of the American health 

care system for more than 45 million America seniors. It 

is an exemplary program that provides the most efficient 

care to a segment of the population that costs more to 

treat. The Back to Work Budget protects beneficiaries and 

makes the system even more efficient. It amends Part D 

of Medicare to allow the Secretary of Health and Human 

Services to negotiate prescription drug prices with pharmaceutical manufacturers, as the Department of Veterans

Affairs currently does, which will save Medicare $157 billion over 10 years and will reduce costs for seniors. The 

budget adopts policies to prohibit ‘‘pay for delay’’ agreements that reduce competition and modifies periods of exclusivity to increase availability of needed therapies. The 

budget also accelerates the use of bundling payments as 

an alternative to fee-for-service payments. It builds on Affordable Care Act efficiencies in administration of information and payments. Using standardized electronic systems 

for administration information such as claims, billing, payments and eligibility creates a more efficient and less fragmented health care system. 

(B) The bulk of agriculture commodity subsidies go to 

large corporate farms that grow commodity crops such as 

corn, wheat, cotton, rice, and soybeans. These crops are 

often grown using unsustainable methods that require 

high levels of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, leading 

to polluted waterways and degraded soil. The Back to 

Work Budget eliminates certain commodity subsidies, 

which will save billions, while reducing environmental impacts. 

Amend the title so as to read: ‘‘Concurrent resolution setting 

forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2014 and including the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal year 2013 and fiscal years 2015 through 

2023.’’.

TITLE III—BUDGET ENFORCEMENT 

SEC. 301. LIMITATION ON ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

(1) The Veterans Health Care Budget and Reform Transparency Act of 2009 provides advance appropriations for the 

following veteran medical care accounts: Medical Services, 

Medical Support and Compliance, and Medical Facilities. 

(2) The President has yet to submit a budget request as required under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, including the request for the Department of Veterans Affairs, for 

fiscal year 2014, hence the request for veteran medical care advance appropriations for fiscal year 2015 is unavailable as of 

the writing of this concurrent resolution. 

(3) This concurrent resolution reflects the most up-to-date estimate on veterans’ health care needs included in the President’s fiscal year 2013 request for fiscal year 2015. 

(b) IN GENERAL.—In the House, except as provided for in subsection (c), any bill or joint resolution, or amendment thereto or 

conference report thereon, making a general appropriation or continuing appropriation may not provide for advance appropriations. 

(c) EXCEPTIONS.—An advance appropriation may be provided for 

programs, projects, activities, or accounts referred to in subsection 

(d)(1) or identified in the report to accompany this concurrent resolution or the joint explanatory statement of managers to accompany this concurrent resolution under the heading ‘‘Accounts Identified for Advance Appropriations’’. 

(d) LIMITATIONS.—For fiscal year 2015, the aggregate level of advance appropriations shall not exceed— 

(1) $55,483,000,000 for the following programs in the Department of Veterans Affairs— 

(A) Medical Services; 

(B) Medical Support and Compliance; and 

(C) Medical Facilities accounts of the Veterans Health 

Administration; and 

(2) $28,852,000,000 in new budget authority for all programs 

identified pursuant to subsection (c). 

(e) DEFINITION.—In this section, the term ‘‘advance appropriation’’ means any new discretionary budget authority provided in a 

bill or joint resolution, or amendment thereto or conference report 

thereon, making general appropriations or any new discretionary 

budget authority provided in a bill or joint resolution making continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2015. 

SEC. 302. CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS. 

Upon the enactment of any bill or joint resolution providing for 

a change in budgetary concepts or definitions, the chair of the Committee on the Budget may adjust any allocations, aggregates, and 

other appropriate levels in this concurrent resolution accordingly. 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
89 

SEC. 303. ADJUSTMENTS OF AGGREGATES, ALLOCATIONS, AND APPROPRIATE BUDGETARY LEVELS. 

(a) ADJUSTMENTS OF DISCRETIONARY AND DIRECT SPENDING LEVELS.—If a committee (other than the Committee on Appropriations) 

reports a bill or joint resolution, or amendment thereto or conference report thereon, providing for a decrease in direct spending 

(budget authority and outlays flowing therefrom) for any fiscal year 

and also provides for an authorization of appropriations for the 

same purpose, upon the enactment of such measure, the chair of 

the Committee on the Budget may decrease the allocation to such 

committee and increase the allocation of discretionary spending 

(budget authority and outlays flowing therefrom) to the Committee 

on Appropriations for fiscal year 2014 by an amount equal to the 

new budget authority (and outlays flowing therefrom) provided for 

in a bill or joint resolution making appropriations for the same purpose. 

(b) ADJUSTMENTS TO IMPLEMENT DISCRETIONARY SPENDING CAPS

AND TO FUND VETERANS’ PROGRAMS AND OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY

OPERATIONS/GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM.— 

(1) FINDINGS.—(A) The President has not submitted a budget 

for fiscal year 2014 as required pursuant to section 1105(a) of 

title 31, United States Code, by the date set forth in that section. 

(B) In missing the statutory date by which the budget must 

be submitted, this will be the fourth time in five years the 

President has not complied with that deadline. 

(C) This concurrent resolution reflects the levels of funding 

for veterans’ medical programs as set forth in the President’s 

fiscal year 2013 budget request. 

(2) PRESIDENT’S BUDGET SUBMISSION.—In order to take into 

account any new information included in the budget submission by the President for fiscal year 2014, the chair of the Committee on the Budget may adjust the allocations, aggregates, 

and other appropriate budgetary levels for veterans’ programs, 

Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism, or 

the 302(a) allocation to the Committee on Appropriations set 

forth in the report of this concurrent resolution to conform 

with section 251(c) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 

Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as adjusted by section 251A of such 

Act). 

(3) REVISED CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE BASELINE.—The 

chair of the Committee on the Budget may adjust the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate budgetary levels to reflect changes resulting from technical and economic assumptions in the most recent baseline published by the Congressional Budget Office. 

(c) DETERMINATIONS.—For the purpose of enforcing this concurrent resolution on the budget in the House, the allocations and aggregate levels of new budget authority, outlays, direct spending, 

new entitlement authority, revenues, deficits, and surpluses for fiscal year 2014 and the period of fiscal years 2014 through fiscal 

year 2023 shall be determined on the basis of estimates made by 

the chair of the Committee on the Budget and such chair may adjust such applicable levels of this concurrent resolution.

SEC. 304. LIMITATION ON LONG-TERM SPENDING. 

(a) IN GENERAL.—In the House, it shall not be in order to consider a bill or joint resolution reported by a committee (other than 

the Committee on Appropriations), or an amendment thereto or a 

conference report thereon, if the provisions of such measure have 

the net effect of increasing direct spending in excess of 

$5,000,000,000 for any period described in subsection (b). 

(b) TIME PERIODS.—The applicable periods for purposes of this 

section are any of the four consecutive ten fiscal-year periods beginning with fiscal year 2024. 

SEC. 305. BUDGETARY TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. 

(a) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding section 302(a)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, section 13301 of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, and section 4001 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, the report accompanying this concurrent 

resolution on the budget or the joint explanatory statement accompanying the conference report on any concurrent resolution on the 

budget shall include in its allocation under section 302(a) of the 

Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to the Committee on Appropriations amounts for the discretionary administrative expenses of the 

Social Security Administration and the United States Postal Service. 

(b) SPECIAL RULE.—For purposes of applying sections 302(f) and 

311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, estimates of the level 

of total new budget authority and total outlays provided by a measure shall include any off-budget discretionary amounts. 

(c) ADJUSTMENTS.—The chair of the Committee on the Budget 

may adjust the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels 

for legislation reported by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that reforms the Federal retirement system, if such 

adjustments do not cause a net increase in the deficit for fiscal year 

2014 and the period of fiscal years 2014 through 2023. 

SEC. 306. APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ALLOCATIONS 

AND AGGREGATES. 

(a) APPLICATION.—Any adjustments of the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels made pursuant to this concurrent resolution shall— 

(1) apply while that measure is under consideration; 

(2) take effect upon the enactment of that measure; and 

(3) be published in the Congressional Record as soon as practicable. 

(b) EFFECT OF CHANGED ALLOCATIONS AND AGGREGATES.—Revised allocations and aggregates resulting from these adjustments 

shall be considered for the purposes of the Congressional Budget 

Act of 1974 as allocations and aggregates included in this concurrent resolution. 

(c) BUDGET COMPLIANCE.—(1) The consideration of any bill or 

joint resolution, or amendment thereto or conference report thereon, for which the chair of the Committee on the Budget makes adjustments or revisions in the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels of this concurrent resolution shall not be subject to 

the points of order set forth in clause 10 of rule XXI of the Rules 

of the House of Representatives or section 604. 

(2) Section 314(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 shall

tion, or amendment that provides new budget authority for a fiscal 

year or to any conference report on any such bill or resolution, if— 

(A) the enactment of that bill or resolution; 

(B) the adoption and enactment of that amendment; or 

(C) the enactment of that bill or resolution in the form recommended in that conference report; 

would not cause the appropriate allocation of new budget authority 

made pursuant to section 302(a) of such Act for that fiscal year to 

be exceeded or the sum of the limits on the security and non-security category in section 251A of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act as reduced pursuant to such section. 

SEC. 307. CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ESTIMATES. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

(1) Costs of Federal housing loans and loan guarantees are 

treated unequally in the budget. The Congressional Budget Office uses fair-value accounting to measure the costs of Fannie 

Mae and Freddie Mac, but determines the cost of other Federal 

housing programs on the basis of the Federal Credit Reform 

Act of 1990 (‘‘FCRA’’). 

(2) The fair-value accounting method uses discount rates 

which incorporate the risk inherent to the type of liability 

being estimated in addition to Treasury discount rates of the 

proper maturity length. In contrast, cash-basis accounting solely uses the discount rates of the Treasury, failing to incorporate risks such as prepayment and default risk. (3) The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the $635 

billion of loans and loan guarantees issued in 2013 alone would 

generate budgetary savings of $45 billion over their lifetime 

using FCRA accounting. However, these same loans and loan 

guarantees would have a lifetime cost of $11 billion under fairvalue methodology. 

(4) The majority of loans and guarantees issued in 2013 would show deficit reduction of $9.1 billion under FCRA methodology, but would increase the deficit by $4.7 billion using 

fair-value accounting. 

(b) FAIR VALUE ESTIMATES.—Upon the request of the chair or 

ranking member of the Committee on the Budget, any estimate 

prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office for a 

measure under the terms of title V of the Congressional Budget Act 

of 1974, ‘‘credit reform’’, as a supplement to such estimate shall, to 

the extent practicable, also provide an estimate of the current actual or estimated market values representing the ‘‘fair value’’ of assets and liabilities affected by such measure. 

(c) FAIR VALUE ESTIMATES FOR HOUSING PROGRAMS.—Whenever 

the Director of the Congressional Budget Office prepares an estimate pursuant to section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 

1974 of the costs which would be incurred in carrying out any bill 

or joint resolution and if the Director determines that such bill or 

joint resolution has a cost related to a housing or residential mortgage program under the FCRA, then the Director shall also provide 

an estimate of the current actual or estimated market values representing the ‘‘fair value’’ of assets and liabilities affected by the 

provisions of such bill or joint resolution that result in such cost. 

(d) ENFORCEMENT.—If the Director of the Congressional Budget 

Office provides an estimate pursuant to subsection (b) or (c), the 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
92 

chair of the Committee on the Budget may use such estimate to determine compliance with the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and 

other budgetary enforcement controls. 

SEC. 308. TRANSFERS FROM THE GENERAL FUND OF THE TREASURY 

TO THE HIGHWAY TRUST FUND THAT INCREASE PUBLIC 

INDEBTEDNESS. 

For purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, or the 

rules or orders of the House of Representatives, a bill or joint resolution, or an amendment thereto or conference report thereon, that 

transfers funds from the general fund of the Treasury to the Highway Trust Fund shall be counted as new budget authority and outlays equal to the amount of the transfer in the fiscal year the 

transfer occurs. 

SEC. 309. SEPARATE ALLOCATION FOR OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS/GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM. 

(a) ALLOCATION.—In the House, there shall be a separate allocation to the Committee on Appropriations for overseas contingency 

operations/global war on terrorism. For purposes of enforcing such 

separate allocation under section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the ‘‘first fiscal year’’ and the ‘‘total of fiscal years’’ 

shall be deemed to refer to fiscal year 2014. Such separate allocation shall be the exclusive allocation for overseas contingency operations/global war on terrorism under section 302(a) of such Act. 

Section 302(c) of such Act shall not apply to such separate allocation. The Committee on Appropriations may provide suballocations 

of such separate allocation under section 302(b) of such Act. Spending that counts toward the allocation established by this section 

shall be designated pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. 

(b) ADJUSTMENT.—In the House, for purposes of subsection (a) for 

fiscal year 2014, no adjustment shall be made under section 314(a) 

of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 if any adjustment would 

be made under section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced Budget and 

Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. 

SEC. 310. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS. 

The House adopts the provisions of this title— 

(1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of 

Representatives and as such they shall be considered as part 

of the rules of the House of Representatives, and these rules 

shall supersede other rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent with other such rules; and 

(2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of the 

House of Representatives to change those rules at any time, in 

the same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of any 

other rule of the House of Representatives. 

TITLE IV—POLICY 

SEC. 401. POLICY STATEMENT ON HEALTH CARE LAW REPEAL. 

It is the policy of this resolution that the Patient Protection and 

Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111–148), and the Health Care 

and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111–152) 

should be repealed.

SEC. 402. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEANS-TESTED WELFARE PROGRAMS. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that: 

(1) In 1996, President Bill Clinton and congressional Republicans enacted reforms that have moved families off of Federal 

programs and enabled them to provide for themselves. 

(2) According to the most recent projections, over the next 10 

years we will spend approximately $10 trillion on means-tested 

welfare programs. 

(3) Today, there are approximately 70 Federal programs that 

provide benefits specifically to poor and low-income Americans. 

(4) Taxpayers deserve clear and transparent information on 

how well these programs are working, and how much the Federal Government is spending on means-tested welfare. 

(b) POLICY ON MEANS-TESTED WELFARE PROGRAMS.—It is the 

policy of this resolution that the President’s budget should disclose, 

in a clear and transparent manner, the aggregate amount of Federal welfare expenditures, as well as an estimate of State and local 

spending for this purpose, over the next ten years. 

SEC. 403. POLICY STATEMENT ON REFORMING FEDERAL REGULATION. 

It is the policy of this resolution that the cost of regulations on 

job creators should be reduced by enacting title II of the Jobs 

Through Growth Act (H.R. 3400), as introduced on November 10, 

2011. Further, it is the policy of this resolution that H.R. 309, the 

Regulatory Sunset and Review Act of 2013 as introduced on January 18, 2013, should also be enacted. 

SEC. 404. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

(1) More than 51 million Americans depend on Medicare for 

their health security. 

(2) The Medicare Trustees Report has repeatedly recommended that Medicare’s long-term financial challenges be 

addressed soon. Each year without reform, the financial condition of Medicare becomes more precarious and the threat to 

those in and near retirement becomes more pronounced. According to the Congressional Budget Office— 

(A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be exhausted 

in 2023 and unable to pay scheduled benefits; and 

(B) Medicare spending is growing faster than the economy and Medicare outlays are currently rising at a rate of 

6.4 percent per year on average over the next ten years, 

and under the Congressional Budget Office’s alternative 

fiscal scenario, direct spending on Medicare is projected to 

reach 6.4 percent of GDP by 2035 and 13 percent of GDP 

by 2085. 

(3) Failing to address this problem will leave millions of 

American seniors without adequate health security and younger generations burdened with enormous debt to pay for spending levels that cannot be sustained. 

(b) POLICY ON MEDICARE REFORM.—It is the policy of this resolution— 

(1) to protect those in and near retirement from any disruptions to their Medicare benefits and offer future beneficiaries 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
94 

the same health care options available to Members of Congress; and 

(2) that H.R. 309, the Regulatory Sunset and Review Act of 

2013 as introduced on January 18, 2013, should be enacted 

(c) ASSUMPTIONS.—This resolution assumes reform of the Medicare program such that: 

(1) Current Medicare benefits are preserved for those in and 

near retirement, without changes. 

(2) For future generations, when they reach eligibility, Medicare is reformed to provide a premium support payment and 

a selection of guaranteed health coverage options from which 

recipients can choose a plan that best suits their needs, including an option to remain in the traditional Medicare fee-forservice program. 

(3) Medicare will provide additional assistance for lower-income beneficiaries and those with greater health risks. 

(4) Medicare spending is put on a sustainable path and the 

Medicare program becomes solvent over the long term. 

SEC. 405. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE 

CANCELLATION OF UNOBLIGATED BALANCES. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

(1) According to the Office of Management and Budget, Federal agencies will hold $698 billion in unobligated balances at 

the close of fiscal year 2013. 

(2) These funds represent direct and discretionary spending 

made available by Congress that remain available for expenditure beyond the fiscal year for which they are provided. 

(3) In some cases, agencies are granted funding and it remains available for obligation indefinitely. 

(4) The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act 

of 1974 requires the Office of Management and Budget to 

make funds available to agencies for obligation and prohibits 

the Administration from withholding or cancelling unobligated 

funds unless approved by an act of Congress. 

(5) Greater congressional oversight is required to review and 

identify potential savings from unneeded balances of funds. 

(b) POLICY ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE CANCELLATION

OF UNOBLIGATED BALANCES.—Congressional committees shall 

through their oversight activities identify and achieve savings 

through the cancellation or rescission of unobligated balances that 

neither abrogate contractual obligations of the Federal Government 

nor reduce or disrupt Federal commitments under programs such 

as Social Security, veterans’ affairs, national security, and Treasury authority to finance the national debt. 

(c) DEFICIT REDUCTION.—Congress, with the assistance of the 

Government Accountability Office, the Inspectors General, and 

other appropriate agencies should make it a high priority to review 

unobligated balances and identify savings for deficit reduction. 

SEC. 406. POLICY STATEMENT ON BLOCK GRANTING MEDICAID.

(c) SPECIAL RULE.—The point of order under subsection (a) shall 

only apply to legislation providing or authorizing discretionary 

budget authority, credit authority, or other spending authority, providing a Federal tax deduction, credit, or exclusion, or modifying 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule in fiscal year 2012 or fiscal year

SEC. 602. LIMITATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON

The House Committee on Rules may not report a rule or order 

that would waive the point of order set forth in the first section of 

this resolution. 

TITLE VII—ESTIMATES OF DIRECT 

SPENDING 

SEC. 701. DIRECT SPENDING. 

(a) MEANS-TESTED DIRECT SPENDING.— (1) For means-tested direct spending, the average rate of 

growth in the total level of outlays during the 10-year period 

preceding fiscal year 2014 is 6.7 percent. 

(2) For means-tested direct spending, the estimated average 

rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the 10-year 

period beginning with fiscal year 2014 is 6.2 percent under current law. 

(3) The following reforms are proposed in this concurrent 

resolution for means-tested direct spending: 

(A) In 1996, a Republican Congress and a Democratic 

president reformed welfare by limiting the duration of benefits, giving States more control over the program, and 

helping recipients find work. In the five years following 

passage, child-poverty rates fell, welfare caseloads fell, and 

workers’ wages increased. This budget applies the lessons 

of welfare reform to both the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Medicaid. 

(B) For Medicaid, this budget converts the Federal share 

of Medicaid spending into a flexible State allotment tailored to meet each State’s needs, indexed for inflation and 

population growth. Such a reform would end the misguided one-size-fits-all approach that has tied the hands of 

State governments. Instead, each State would have the 

freedom and flexibility to tailor a Medicaid program that 

fits the needs of its unique population. Moreover, this 

budget repeals the Medicaid expansions in the President’s 

health care law, relieving State governments of its crippling one-size-fits-all enrollment mandates. 

(C) For the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, 

this budget converts the program into a flexible State allotment tailored to meet each State’s needs, increases in 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
99 

the Department of Agriculture Thrifty Food Plan index 

and beneficiary growth. Such a reform would provide incentives for States to ensure dollars will go towards those 

who need them most. Additionally, it requires that more 

stringent work requirements and time limits apply under 

the program. 

(b) NONMEANS-TESTED DIRECT SPENDING.— 

(1) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the average rate of 

growth in the total level of outlays during the 10-year period 

preceding fiscal year 2014 is 5.9 percent. 

(2) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the estimated average rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the 10- 

year period beginning with fiscal year 2014 is 5.3 percent 

under current law. 

(3) The following reforms are proposed in this concurrent 

resolution for nonmeans-tested direct spending: 

(A) For Medicare, this budget advances policies to put 

seniors, not the Federal Government, in control of their 

health care decisions. Those in or near retirement will see 

no changes, while future retirees would be given a choice 

of private plans competing alongside the traditional feefor-service Medicare program. Medicare would provide a 

premium-support payment either to pay for or offset the 

premium of the plan chosen by the senior, depending on 

the plan’s cost. The Medicare premium-support payment 

would be adjusted so that the sick would receive higher 

payments if their conditions worsened; lower-income seniors would receive additional assistance to help cover outof-pocket costs; and wealthier seniors would assume responsibility for a greater share of their premiums. Putting 

seniors in charge of how their health care dollars are spent 

will force providers to compete against each other on price 

and quality. This market competition will act as a real 

check on widespread waste and skyrocketing health care 

costs. 

(B) In keeping with a recommendation from the National 

Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, this 

budget calls for Federal employees—including Members of 

Congress and congressional staff—to make greater contributions toward their own retirement.

SEC. 207. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR INITIATIVES THAT 

BENEFIT CHILDREN. 

The chairman of the House Committee on the Budget may revise 

the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution for any bill, joint resolution, amendment, or conference report that improves the lives of children by the amounts provided 

in such measure if such measure would not increase the deficit for 

either of the following time periods: fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 

2018 or fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2023. Improvements may include: 

(1) Extension and expansion of child care assistance. 

(2) Changes to foster care to prevent child abuse and neglect 

and keep more children safely in their homes. 

(3) Changes to child support enforcement to encourage increased parental support for children, particularly from noncustodial parents, including legislation that results in a greater 

share of collected child support reaching the child or encourages States to provide access and visitation services to improve 

fathers’ relationships with their children. Such changes could 

reflect efforts to ensure that States have the necessary resources to collect all child support that is owed to families and 

to allow them to pass 100 percent of support on to families 

without financial penalty. When 100 percent of child support 

payments are passed to the child, rather than to administrative expenses, program integrity is improved and child support 

participation increases. 

SEC. 208. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD 

EDUCATION. 

(a) PRE-KINDERGARTEN.—The chairman of the House Committee 

on the Budget may revise the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution for any bill, joint resolution, 

amendment, or conference report related to a pre-kindergarten program or programs to serve low-income children, by the amounts

deficit for either of the following time periods: fiscal year 2013 to 

fiscal year 2018 or fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2023. 

(b) CHILD CARE.—The chairman of the House Committee on the 

Budget may revise the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution for any bill, joint resolution, amendment, or conference report related to child care assistance for working families, by the amounts provided in such measure if such 

measure would not increase the deficit for either of the following 

time periods: fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2018 or fiscal year 2013 

to fiscal year 2023. 

(c) HOME VISITING.—The chairman of the House Committee on 

the Budget may revise the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution for any bill, joint resolution, amendment, or conference report related to a home visiting program or 

programs serving low-income mothers-to-be and low-income families, by the amounts provided in such measure if such measure 

would not increase the deficit for either of the following time periods: fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2018 or fiscal year 2013 to fiscal 

year 2023

July 2014 at the end of the one-year extension of the current 3.4 

percent interest rate assumed in the resolution; or efforts to ensure 

continued full funding for Pell grants, by the amounts provided in 

such measure if such measure would not increase the deficit for either of the following time periods: fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 

2018 or fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2023.

the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination Act 

of 2000 (Public Law 106-393) by the amounts provided by that legislation for those purposes, if such legislation requires sustained 

yield timber harvests obviating the need for funding under Public 

Law 106–393 in the future and would not increase the deficit for 

either of the following time periods: fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 

2018 or fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2023. 

SEC. 211. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR THE AFFORDABLE 

HOUSING TRUST FUND. 

The chairman of the House Committee on the Budget may revise 

the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution for any bill, joint resolution, amendment, or conference report that capitalizes the existing Affordable Housing Trust Fund by 

the amounts provided in such measure if such measure would not 

increase the deficit for either of the following time periods: fiscal 

year 2013 to fiscal year 2018 or fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2023. 

SEC. 212. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR ADDITIONAL TAX 

RELIEF FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES.

the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution for any bill, joint resolution, amendment, or conference report that provides additional tax relief to individuals and families, 

such as expanding tax relief provided by the refundable child credit, by the amounts provided in such measure if such measure would 

not increase the deficit for either of the following time periods: fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2018 or fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 

2023. 

TITLE III—ESTIMATES OF DIRECT 

SPENDING 

SEC. 301. DIRECT SPENDING. 

(a) MEANS-TESTED DIRECT SPENDING.— 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
120 

(1) For means-tested direct spending, the average rate of 

growth in the total level of outlays during the 10-year period 

preceding fiscal year 2014 is 6.7 percent. 

(2) For means-tested direct spending, the estimated average 

rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the 11-year 

period beginning with fiscal year 2013 is 6.3 percent under current law. 

(3) The resolution retains the social safety net that lifts millions of people out of poverty. 

(b) NONMEANS-TESTED DIRECT SPENDING.— 

(1) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the average rate of 

growth in the total level of outlays during the 10-year period 

preceding fiscal year 2014 is 5.9 percent. 

(2) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the estimated average rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the 11- 

year period beginning with fiscal year 2013 is 5.1 percent 

under current law. 

(3) The following reforms are proposed in this concurrent 

resolution for nonmeans-tested direct spending: For Medicare, 

this budget rejects proposals to end the Medicare guarantee 

and shift rising health care costs onto seniors by replacing 

Medicare with vouchers or premium support for the purchase 

of private insurance. Such proposals will expose seniors and 

persons with disabilities on fixed incomes to unacceptable financial risks, and they will weaken the traditional Medicare 

program. Instead, this budget builds on the success of the Affordable Care Act, which made significant strides in health 

care cost containment and put into place a framework for continuous innovation. This budget supports comprehensive reforms to give physicians and other care providers incentives to 

provide high-quality, coordinated, efficient care, in a manner 

consistent with the goals of fiscal sustainability. It makes no 

changes that reduce benefits available to seniors and individuals with disabilities in Medicare.

TITLE V—POLICY 

SEC. 501. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON JOBS: MAKE IT IN AMERICA. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 

(1) the economy entered a deep recession in December 2007 

that was worsened by a financial crisis in 2008 – by January 

2009, the private sector was shedding 821,000 jobs per month; 

(2) actions by the President, Congress, and the Federal Reserve helped stem the crisis, and job creation resumed in 2010, 

with the economy creating 6.4 million private jobs over the 

past 36 consecutive months; 

(3) multi-year across-the-board spending cuts under sequestration will cost Americans millions of jobs with up to 750,000 

jobs lost this year alone, slow economic growth by up to one 

third this year alone, and impair our global competitive edge; 

(4) as part of a ‘‘Make it in America’’ agenda, U.S. manufacturing has been leading the Nation’s economic recovery as domestic manufacturers regain their economic and competitive 

edge and a wave of insourcing jobs from abroad begins; 

(5) despite the job gains already made, job growth needs to 

accelerate and continue for an extended period for the economy 

to fully recover from the recession; and 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
125 

(6) job creation is vital to Nation-building at home and to 

deficit reduction – CBO has noted that if the country were at 

full employment, the deficit would be about half its current 

size. 

(b) POLICY.— 

(1) IN GENERAL.—It is the policy of this resolution that Congress should pursue a ‘‘Make it in America’’ agenda with a priority to consider and enact legislation to help create jobs, remove incentives to out-source jobs overseas and instead support incentives that bring jobs back to the U.S., and help middle class families by increasing the minimum wage. 

(2) JOBS.—This resolution— 

(A) assumes enactment of legislation to replace sequestration under the Budget Control Act of 2011 with at least 

the same amount of deficit reduction from a balanced approach that would increase revenues without increasing 

that tax burden on middle-income Americans, and decrease long-term spending while maintaining the Medicare 

guarantee, protecting Social Security and a strong social 

safety net, and making strategic investments in education, 

science, research, and critical infrastructure necessary to 

compete in the global economy. 

(B) assumes enactment of— 

(i) the President’s $50 billion immediate transportation jobs package; 

(ii) other measures proposed in the American Jobs 

Act and reflected in the President’s 2013 budget; and 

(iii) the President’s proposed surface transportation 

legislation; 

(C) assumes $1 billion for the President’s proposal to establish a Veterans Job Corps; 

(D) assumes $80 billion in education jobs funding for the 

President’s initiatives to promote jobs now while also creating an infrastructure that will help students learn and 

create a better future workforce, including $30 billion for 

rebuilding at least 35,000 public schools, $25 billion to prevent hundreds of thousands of educator layoffs, and $8 billion to help community colleges train 2 million workers in 

high-growth industries with skills that will lead directly to 

jobs; and 

(E) establishes a reserve fund that would allow for passage of additional job creation measures, including further 

infrastructure improvements and support for biomedical 

research that both creates jobs and advances scientific 

knowledge and health, or other spending or revenue proposals. 

SEC. 502. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON TAKING A BALANCED APPROACH 

TO DEFICIT REDUCTION. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 

(1) every bipartisan commission has recommended, and the 

majority of Americans agree, that we should take a balanced, 

bipartisan approach to reducing the deficit that addresses both 

revenue and spending; and 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
126 

(2) sequestration is a meat-ax approach to deficit reduction 

that imposes deep and mindless cuts, regardless of their impact on vital services and investments. 

(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of the resolution that— 

(1) the Congress should vote on H.R. 699, which would replace the sequester for calendar year 2013 with a balanced mix 

of targeted and better timed spending reductions and revenue 

increases to prevent the loss of jobs and the drag on economic 

growth in the near term; and 

(2) the Congress should replace the entire 10-year sequester 

established by the Budget Control Act of 2011 with a balanced 

approach that would increase revenues without increasing the 

tax burden on middle-income Americans, and decrease longterm spending while maintaining the Medicare guarantee, protecting Social Security and a strong social safety net, and making strategic investments in education, science, research, and 

critical infrastructure necessary to compete in the global economy. 

SEC. 503. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM THAT 

PROTECTS WORKERS AND RETIREES. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 

(1) Social Security is America’s most important retirement 

resource, especially for seniors, because it provides an income 

floor to keep them, their spouses and their survivors out of 

poverty during retirement – benefits earned based on their 

past payroll contributions; 

(2) in January 2011, 56.8 million people relied on Social Security; 

(3) Social Security benefits are modest, with an average an- nual benefit for retirees of about $15,000, which is the majority 

of total retirement income for more than half of all beneficiaries; 

(4) diverting workers’ payroll contributions toward private 

accounts undermines retirement security and the social safety 

net by subjecting the workers’ retirement decisions and income 

to the whims of the stock market; 

(5) diverting trust fund payroll contributions toward private 

accounts jeopardizes Social Security because the program will 

not have the resources to pay full benefits to current retirees; 

and 

(6) privatization increases Federal debt because the Treasury 

will have to borrow additional funds from the public to pay full 

benefits to current retirees. 

(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of the House that Social Security 

should be strengthened for its own sake and not to achieve deficit 

reduction. Because privatization proposals are fiscally irresponsible 

and would put the retirement security of seniors at risk, any Social 

Security reform legislation shall reject partial or complete privatization of the program. 

SEC. 504. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON PROTECTING THE MEDICARE 

GUARANTEE FOR SENIORS. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 

(1) senior citizens and persons with disabilities highly value 

the Medicare program and rely on Medicare to guarantee their 

health and financial security; 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
127 

(2) in 2012, 50 million people relied on Medicare for coverage 

of hospital stays, physician visits, prescription drugs, and other 

necessary medical goods and services; 

(3) the Medicare program has lower administrative and program costs than private insurance for a given level of benefits; 

(4) rising health care costs are not unique to Medicare or 

other Federal health programs, they are endemic to the entire 

health care system; 

(5) destroying the Medicare program and replacing it with a 

voucher or premium support for the purchase of private insurance that fails to keep pace with growth in health costs will 

expose seniors and persons with disabilities on fixed incomes 

to unacceptable financial risks; 

(6) shifting more health care costs onto Medicare beneficiaries would not reduce overall health care costs, instead it 

would mean beneficiaries would face higher premiums, eroding 

coverage, or both; and 

(7) versions of voucher or premium-support policies that do 

not immediately end the traditional Medicare program will 

merely cause traditional Medicare to weaken and wither away. 

(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of the House that the Medicare guarantee for seniors and persons with disabilities should be preserved 

and strengthened, and that any legislation to end the Medicare 

guarantee and shift rising health care costs onto seniors by replacing Medicare with vouchers or premium support for the purchase 

of private insurance should be rejected. 

SEC. 505. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE 

COVERAGE FOR WORKING FAMILIES. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 

(1) making health care coverage affordable and accessible for 

all American families will improve families’ health and economic security, which will make the economy stronger; 

(2) the Affordable Care Act signed into law in 2010 will expand coverage to 27 million Americans and bring costs down 

for families and small businesses; 

(3) consumers are already benefitting from the Affordable 

Care Act’s provisions to hold insurance companies accountable 

for their actions and to end long-standing practices such as denying coverage to children based on pre-existing conditions, imposing lifetime limits on coverage that put families at risk of 

bankruptcy in the event of serious illness, and dropping an enrollee’s coverage once the enrollee becomes ill based on a simple mistake in the enrollee’s application; 

(4) the Affordable Care Act reforms Federal health entitlements by using nearly every health cost-containment provision 

experts recommend, including new incentives to reward quality 

and coordination of care rather than simply quantity of services provided, new tools to crack down on fraud, and the elimination of excessive taxpayer subsidies to private insurance 

plans, and as a result will slow the projected annual growth 

rate of national health expenditures by 0.3 percentage points 

after 2016, the essence of ‘‘bending the cost curve’’; and 

(5) the Affordable Care Act will reduce the Federal deficit by 

more than $1,000,000,000,000 over the next 20 years. 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
128 

(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of the House that the law of the land 

should support making affordable health care coverage available to 

every American family, and therefore the Affordable Care Act 

should not be repealed. 

SEC. 506. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON MEDICAID. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 

(1) Medicaid is a central component of the Nation’s health 

care safety net, providing health coverage to 28 million low-income children, 5 million senior citizens, 10 million people with 

disabilities, and 14 million other low-income people who would 

otherwise be unable to obtain health insurance; 

(2) senior citizens and people with disabilities account for 

two-thirds of Medicaid program spending and consequently 

would be at particular risk of losing access to important health 

care assistance under any policy to sever the link between 

Medicaid funding and the actual costs of providing services to 

the currently eligible Medicaid population; 

(3) Medicaid pays for 43 percent of long-term care services 

in the United States, providing a critical health care safety net 

for senior citizens and people with disabilities facing significant costs for long-term care; and 

(4) at least 70 percent of people over age 65 will likely need 

long-term care services at some point in their lives. 

(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of the House that the important 

health care safety net for children, senior citizens, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable Americans provided by Medicaid 

should be preserved and should not be dismantled by converting 

Medicaid into a block grant, per capita cap, or other financing arrangement that would limit Federal contributions and render the 

program incapable of responding to increased need that may result 

from trends in health care costs or economic conditions. 

SEC. 507. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that it is the stated position of 

the Administration that Afghan troops will take the full lead for security operations in Afghanistan by the end of 2014. 

(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of this resolution that consistent 

with the Administration’s stated position, no funding shall be provided for operations in Afghanistan through the Overseas Contingency Operations budget beyond 2014. 

SEC. 508. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON NATIONAL SECURITY. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 

(1) we must continue to support a strong military that is second to none and the size and the structure of our military have 

to be driven by a strategy; 

(2) those who serve in uniform are our most important security resource and the Administration and Congress shall continue to provide the support they need to successfully carry out 

the missions the country gives them; 

(3) a growing economy is the foundation of our security and 

enables the country to provide the resources for a strong military, sound homeland security agencies, and effective diplomacy and international development;

(4) 750,000 jobs will be lost in calendar year 2013 if the 

across-the-board cuts known as sequestration remain in effect, 

hampering the economic recovery and jeopardizing the foundation of our security, 

(5) because it puts our economy at risk, the Nation’s debt is 

an immense security threat to our country, just as former 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mullen has stated, and we must have a deficit reduction plan that is serious 

and realistic; 

(6) the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform and the bipartisan Rivlin-Domenici Debt Reduction Task Force concluded that a serious and balanced deficit reduction plan must put national security programs on the 

table; 

(7) in 2011, the U.S. spent more on defense than the next 16 

countries combined (and more than half of the amount spent 

by those 16 countries was from seven NATO countries and four 

other close allies); 

(8) Admiral Mullen argued that the permissive budget environment over the last decade, a period when defense spending 

increased by hundreds of billions of dollars, had allowed the 

Pentagon to avoid prioritizing; 

(9) more can be done to rein in wasteful spending at the Nation’s security agencies, including the Department of Defense— 

the last department still unable to pass an audit—such as the 

elimination of duplicative programs that have been identified 

by the Government Accountability Office; 

(10) effective implementation of weapons acquisition reforms 

at the Department of Defense can help control excessive cost 

growth in the development of new weapons systems and help 

ensure that weapons systems are delivered on time and in adequate quantities to equip our servicemen and servicewomen; 

(11) the Department of Defense should continue to review 

defense plans and requirements to ensure that weapons developed to counter Cold War-era threats are not redundant and 

are applicable to 21st century threats, which should include, 

with the participation of the National Nuclear Security Administration, examination of requirements for the nuclear weapons 

stockpile, nuclear weapons delivery systems, and nuclear 

weapons and infrastructure modernization; 

(12) weapons technologies should be proven to work through 

adequate testing before advancing them to the production 

phase of the acquisition process; 

(13) the Pentagon’s operation and maintenance budget, 

which now totals $200 billion per year, has grown for decades 

between 2.5 percent and 3.0 percent above inflation each year 

on a per service member basis, and it is imperative that 

unsustainable cost growth be controlled in this area; 

(14) excluding those involved in war operations, 200,000 

military personnel and their dependents are stationed overseas, and the Administration should further review the benefits and costs of alternatives to permanent overseas basing of 

personnel; 

(15) more than 94 percent of the increase in the Federal civilian workforce since 2001 is due to increases at security-reVerDate Mar 15 2010 05:52 Mar 19, 2013 Jkt 029008 PO 00000 Frm 00129 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR021.XXX HR021

lated agencies—Department of Defense (31 percent), Department of Homeland Security (32 percent), Department of Veterans Affairs (26 percent), and Department of Justice (6 percent)—and the increase, in part, represents a transition to ensure civil servants, as opposed to private contractors, are performing inherently governmental work and an increase to a 

long-depleted acquisition and auditing workforce at the Pentagon to ensure effective management of weapons systems programs, to eliminate the use of contractors to oversee other contractors, and to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse; 

(16) proposals to implement an indiscriminate 10 percent 

across-the-board cut to the Federal civilian workforce would 

adversely affect security agencies, leaving them unable to manage their total workforce, which includes contractors, and their 

operations in a cost-effective manner; and 

(17) cooperative threat reduction and other nonproliferation 

programs (securing ‘‘loose nukes’’ and other materials used in 

weapons of mass destruction), which were highlighted as high 

priorities by the 9/11 Commission, need to be funded at a level 

that is commensurate with the evolving threat. 

(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of this resolution that— 

(1) the sequester required by the Budget Control Act of 2011 

should be rescinded and replaced by a deficit reduction plan 

that is balanced, that makes smart spending cuts, that requires everyone to pay their fair share, and that takes into account a comprehensive national security strategy that includes 

careful consideration of international, defense, homeland security, and law enforcement programs; 

(2) further savings can be achieved from the national defense 

budget without compromising our security through greater emphasis on eliminating duplicative and wasteful programs, reforming the acquisition process, identifying and constraining 

unsustainable operating costs, and through careful analysis of 

our security strategy; and 

(3) veterans programs are fully funded and if there is new 

information provided in the President’s 2014 budget that would 

justify the need for funds in excess of the amount reflected in 

section 102(15), adjustments shall be made from within the 

discretionary totals to meet any such new requirements. 

SEC. 509. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON TAX REFORM TO REPLACE THE 

SEQUESTER AND REDUCE THE DEFICIT. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 

(1) the sequester represents a meat-ax approach to cutting 

government spending and will cost the economy 750,000 jobs 

in 2013 alone, according to the nonpartisan Congressional 

Budget Office; 

(2) the House must therefore replace the sequester with a 

balanced approach to deficit reduction that would raise revenues in addition to making targeted spending cuts; 

(3) this balanced approach to deficit reduction must include 

overhauling our outdated tax code—which contains numerous, 

wasteful tax breaks for special interests—to make it simpler, 

more progressive, and more competitive; 

(4) these special tax breaks can greatly complicate the effort 

to administer the code and the taxpayer’s ability to fully comVerDate Mar 15 2010 05:52 Mar 19, 2013 Jkt 029008 PO 00000 Frm 00130 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR021.XXX HR021

131 

ply with its terms, while also undermining our basic sense of 

fairness; 

(5) the corporate income tax does include a number of incentives that help spur economic growth and innovation, such as 

the research and development credit and clean energy incentives; 

(6) but tax breaks for special interests can also distort economic incentives for businesses and consumers and encourage 

businesses to ship American jobs and capital overseas for tax 

purposes; 

(7) the President’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform observed that the corporate income tax is 

riddled with special interest tax breaks and subsidies, is badly 

in need of reform, and it proposed to streamline the code, capturing some of the savings in the process, to achieve deficit reduction in a more balanced way; 

(8) even Speaker Boehner indicated that he has a plan that would raise an additional $800 billion in revenues through 

closing tax loopholes and eliminating special interest tax 

breaks. 

(b) POLICY.— (1) POLICY ON INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAXES.— (A) This resolution encourages the House Committee on 

Ways and Means to help reduce the deficit and replace the 

sequester through a balanced approach that includes limits on tax expenditures and tax breaks for very high-income individuals. This resolution expressly rejects the approach in the Republican resolution that provides millionaires with even larger tax cuts at the expense of middleclass taxpayers. This resolution also expressly rejects raising taxes on middle-class taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes below $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples) and 

reflects the tax rates and income thresholds established in 

the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. This resolution 

therefore encourages the House Committee on Ways and 

Means to raise the revenue needed through closing loopholes and ending tax breaks for special interests and the 

very wealthy, consistent with key proposals made by both 

the President and the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform to limit tax expenditures. 

(B) This resolution supports working families, encourages increased labor force participation, and boosts access 

to higher education by permanently extending the expansions to the child tax credit, the EITC, and the American 

Opportunity Tax Credit, respectively, first legislated under 

the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. 

(C) This resolution extends policies that reinvest in domestic manufacturing to bring jobs back to our shores; 

builds up the renewable energy production capacity of the 

United States in order to limit our reliance on foreign oil 

while creating green jobs; expands access to higher education, which everyone agrees is essential for building up 

a highly-skilled workforce and building out the middle 

class; and supports saving and capital formation that will 

raise future standards of living. 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS

(2) POLICY ON CORPORATE INCOME TAXES.— (A) This resolution proposes eliminating unproductive or 

unwarranted corporate tax preferences and subsidies, as 

well as pernicious tax breaks that reward U.S. corporations that ship American jobs—rather than products— 

overseas for tax purposes. 

(B) This resolution adopts pro-growth corporate tax incentives like those in the President’s FY 2013 budget proposals, such as: enhancing incentives for domestic manufacturing to support a ‘‘Make it in America’’ agenda, including providing a tax credit for companies that return 

operations and jobs to the U.S. while eliminating tax 

breaks for companies that move operations and jobs overseas; closing loopholes that allow businesses to avoid 

taxes, by subjecting more of their foreign earnings sheltered in tax havens to U.S. taxation; the research and development credit; and enhancing clean energy incentives. 

(C) This resolution therefore urges the House Committee 

on Ways and Means to consider the President’s proposals 

for business tax reform in determining how to best overhaul our corporate tax code so that it promotes economic 

growth and domestic job creation without increasing the 

deficit and the debt. 

SEC. 510. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON AGRICULTURE SPENDING. 

It is the policy of this resolution that the House Committee on 

Agriculture should reduce spending in farm programs that provide 

direct payments to producers even in robust markets and in times 

of bumper yields. The committee should also find ways to focus assistance toward struggling family farmers and ranchers in a manner that creates jobs and economic growth while preserving the 

farm and nutrition safety net. 

SEC. 511. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON THE USE OF TAXPAYER FUNDS. 

It is the policy of this resolution that the House should lead by 

example and identify any savings that can be achieved through 

greater productivity and efficiency gains in the operation and maintenance of House services and resources like printing, conferences, 

utilities, telecommunications, furniture, grounds maintenance, 

postage, and rent. This should include a review of policies and procedures for acquisition of goods and services to eliminate any unnecessary spending. The Committee on House Administration shall 

review the policies pertaining to the services provided to Members 

of Congress and House Committees, and shall identify ways to reduce any subsidies paid for the operation of the House gym, Barber 

shop, Salon, and the House dining room. Further, it is the policy 

of this resolution that no taxpayer funds may be used to purchase 

first class airfare or to lease corporate jets for Members of Congress. 

SEC. 512. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON A NATIONAL STRATEGY TO 

ERADICATE POVERTY AND INCREASE OPPORTUNITY. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

(1) The prospect of upward mobility should be the right of 

every American. 

(2) Targeted, means-tested Federal programs help lift millions of Americans out of poverty. 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
133 

(3) These programs empower their beneficiaries through job 

training, educational assistance, adequate food, housing, and 

health care to rise to the middle class. 

(4) The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program alone 

lifts over 4 million people out of poverty, including over 2 million children. It is particularly effective in keeping children— 

over 1 million—out of deep poverty (below half the poverty 

line). School breakfast and lunch programs help keep children 

ready to learn, allowing them to reach their full potential. 

(5) The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax 

Credit together lift over 9 million people, including nearly 5 

million children, out of poverty. President Ronald Reagan proposed a major EITC expansion in 1985 and then referred to the 

1986 Tax Reform Act, which included the expansion, as ‘‘the 

best antipoverty, the best pro-family, the best job creation 

measure to come out of Congress’’. 

(6) However, some areas of the country have been left behind. They face persistent high levels of poverty and joblessness. Citizens of these areas often lack access to quality 

schools, affordable health care, and adequate job opportunities. 

(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of the House to support the goal of 

developing a national strategy to eliminate poverty, with the initial 

goal of cutting poverty in half in ten years, and to extend equitable 

access to economic opportunity to all Americans. As Congress 

works to protect low income and middle class Americans from the 

negative impacts of budget cuts on the critical domestic programs 

that millions of American families rely on to get by, priority must 

be given to creating a national strategy on poverty to maximize the 

impact of anti-poverty programs across Federal, State, and local 

governments. Improving the effective coordination and oversight 

across agencies and implementing a true unity of programs under 

a ‘‘whole of government’’ approach to shared goals and client based 

outcomes will help to streamline access, improve service delivery, 

and will strengthen and extend the reach of every Federal dollar 

to fight poverty. The plan should consider additional targeting of 

spending toward persistent poverty areas to revitalize these areas 

of pervasive poverty, unemployment and general distress. The plan 

must also include provisions that work to remove the barriers and 

obstacles that prevent the most vulnerable Americans from taking 

advantage of economic and educational opportunities and moving 

up the ladder of opportunity to join the middle class and reach for 

the American Dream. 

SEC. 513. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE 

REDUCTION OF UNNECESSARY AND WASTEFUL SPENDING. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 

(1) The Government Accountability Office (‘‘GAO’’) is required by law to identify examples of waste, duplication, and 

overlap in Federal programs, and has so identified dozens of 

such examples. 

(2) In testimony before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the Comptroller General has stated that addressing the identified waste, duplication, and overlap in Federal programs ‘‘could potentially save tens of billions of dollars.’’ 


jbell on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
134 

(3) The Federal Government spends about $80 billion each 

year for information technology. GAO has identified opportunities for savings and improved efficiencies in the Government’s 

information technology infrastructure. (4) Federal agencies reported an estimated $108 billion in 

improper payments in fiscal year 2012. 

(5) Under clause 2 of Rule XI of the Rules of the House of 

Representatives, each standing committee must hold at least 

one hearing during each 120 day period following its establishment on waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement in Government programs. 

(6) According to the Congressional Budget Office, by fiscal 

year 2014, 42 laws will expire. Timely reauthorizations of 

these laws would ensure assessments of program justification 

and effectiveness. 

(7) The findings resulting from congressional oversight of 

Federal Government programs may result in programmatic 

changes in both authorizing statutes and program funding levels. 

(b) POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE RE- DUCTION OF UNNECESSARY AND WASTEFUL SPENDING.—Each authorizing committee annually shall include in its Views and Estimates letter required under section 301(d) of the Congressional 

Budget Act of 1974 recommendations to the Committee on the 

Budget of programs within the jurisdiction of such committee 

whose funding should be changed. 

Amend the title so as to read: ‘‘Concurrent resolution setting 

forth the congressional budget for the United States Government 

for fiscal year 2014 and including the appropriate budgetary levels 

for fiscal year 2013 and fiscal years 2015 through 2023.’’.
