PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF HOUSE CONCURRENT 

RESOLUTION 95, THE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON 

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2004

MARCH 19, 2003.—Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed 

Mr. HASTINGS of Washington, from the Committee on Rules, 

submitted the following 

R E P O R T 

[To accompany H. Res. 151]

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 151, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to the House 

with the recommendation that the resolution be adopted. 

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

The resolution provides for consideration of House Concurrent 

Resolution 95, the Concurrent Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year 

2004, under a structured rule. The rule provides three hours of 

general debate with two hours equally divided and controlled by 

the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 

the Budget and one hour on economic goals and policies equally divided and controlled by Representative Saxton and Representative 

Stark. The rule waives all points of order against consideration of 

the concurrent resolution. 

The rule provides that the amendment in the nature of a substitute specified in part A of this report shall be considered as 

adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. The rule 

makes in order only those amendments printed in part B of this 

report which may be offered only in the order printed in this report, may be offered only by a Member designated in this report, 

shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for one hour equally 

divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and shall 

not be subject to amendment. 

The rule waives all points of order against the amendments 

printed this report, except that the adoption of a further amendment in the nature of a substitute shall constitute the conclusion 

of consideration of the concurrent resolution for amendment. 

2

The rule provides, upon the conclusion of consideration of the 

concurrent resolution for amendment, for a final period of general 

debate not to exceed 20 minutes equally divided and controlled by 

the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 

the Budget. The rule permits the chairman of the Budget Committee to offer amendments in the House to achieve mathematical 

consistency. 

Finally, the rule provides that the concurrent resolution shall not 

be subject to a demand for division of the question of its adoption. 

OBLIGATIONS UNDER SEC. 301(c) OF THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET ACT

The Committee notes that certain features of the concurrent resolution originated by the Committee on the Budget might constitute ‘‘procedure or matter which has the effect of changing any 

rule of the House’’ within the meaning of section 301(c) of the 

Budget Act. The Committee has reviewed those features of the concurrent resolution in the course of originating this special order of 

business for its consideration by the House. The Committee believes that this review adequately meets the needs of the Committee and obviates any practical need to refer the concurrent resolution to the Committee.

PART A—SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT TO BE CONSIDERED AS ADOPTED

(Summaries derived from information provided by the amendment sponsor.) 

Nussle—Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute. Eliminates 

across-the-board savings that could be attributable to Medicare, 

which increases the BA and outlay totals for Medicare (Function 

570) by $200 billion over 10 years, as well as the aggregate levels 

of BA and outlays. It also increases interest, debt, and the deficits 

relative to the Committee-reported bill. Reinstates a separate 10-

year allocation for Medicare, which can accommodate a bill reported by either Ways and Means or Energy and Commerce. Reinstates a reserve fund for Medicare, which fences off $400 billion for 

Medicare modernization and prescription drug coverage. Gets to 

3

balance in 2012, with a surplus of $21 billion. Increases discretionary BA for veterans (Function 700) by $844 million in fiscal 

year 2004. Adds findings and purpose language to reconciliation instructions to emphasize the congressional intent that the savings 

are to come from eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. Retains tax 

cuts in reported bill, and continues to reconcile growth package. 

Retains mandatory initiatives for veterans, welfare reform (still $1 

billion above President), the Civil Service Retirement System, Medicaid and the Family Opportunity Act. Compensates Postal Service 

for overpayments to pension system for Postal employees. Reconciles savings to 13 committees. Modifies across-the-board reduction to correct for error in agriculture baseline (this correction lowers the amount of savings required of most committee to achieve 

a 1-percent reduction from fiscal year 2003). Reduces outlays levels 

in transportation (Function 400) because the Committee-reported 

resolution overstates the increase in outlays necessary to reach 

CBO’s baseline. Corrects contract authority levels in reserve fund 

for highways (Section 311), which were overstated in reported resolution.

PART B—SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS MADE IN ORDER

(Summaries derived from information provided by the amendment sponsor.) 

1. Hill/Moore/Stenholm/Tanner—Amendment in the Nature of a 

Substitute. Provides for spending at the levels contained in the 

President’s budget as estimated by CBO. Includes reconciliation instructions for a tax package which would provide immediate tax relief for all taxpayers; incentives for business; immediate and permanent estate tax relief; and other items. Tax relief is offset by deferring a portion of additional tax cuts for upper income taxpayers 

if the budget remains in deficit because of the campaign in Iraq, 

the war on terrorism, or other factors. Directs the Ways and Means 

Committee and Energy and Commerce Committee to report reconciliation legislation providing a Medicare prescription drug benefit of $400 billion. Establishes discretionary spending limits, pay 

as you go rules, and other budget enforcement measures in the 

House of Representatives. Provides for an increase in the debt limit 

of $150 billion, which is projected to cover obligations through September 30, 2003, but prohibits any further increase in the debt 

limit of more than $100 billion until CBO certifies that the budget 

is on path to balance by 2009, except for any increase necessary to 

finance the costs of a war in Iraq. (60 minutes) 

2. Toomey—Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute. Achieves 

a balanced budget in 4 years and achieves balance excluding Social 

Security within 10 years. Provides $512 billion in tax relief over 

the next five years and $1.6 trillion over the next 10 years, all 

under reconciliation. Freezes total discretionary spending for one 

year and then permits growth at half of the approximate rate of inflation for two years and then at the rate of inflation for future 

years. Within the total level of discretionary spending, defense and 

homeland security are funded at the requested levels and non-defense is reduced to pay for these increases. Caps the mandatory 

spending increase (excluding Social Security) over last year’s actual 

level at 1.5% for one year, then 3.1% annually for four years and 

then provides for growth at the annual baseline growth rates. Includes various budget enforcement mechanisms, including a definition of emergency spending. Includes a reserve fund for Social Security reform. Provides for real world scoring of tax measures, and 

a prohibition on tax increases to offset spending increases. (60 minutes) 

3. Owens/Cummings/Kucinich/Lee—Amendment in the Nature of 

a Substitute. Freezes the tax cut in order to generate greater revenue. Supports a level of funding for defense commensurate with 

the request of the President. Provides for more than 300 billion dollars for an immediate economic stimulus. Provides $528 billion for 

a Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit, most of which will be funded 

26

after year 2004. Restores cuts in education and increases the education budget by $20 billion. (60 minutes) 

4. Spratt—Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute. Restores 

$98 billion of direct spending cuts contained in the resolution as reported. Increases funding for homeland security, education, and 

other priorities. Provides $528 billion for a Medicare prescription 

drug benefit, but allows the committees of jurisdiction to increase 

this amount to whatever extent they find offsets. Achieves budget 

balance in 2010 and adds $573 billion less to the public debt over 

ten years than the committee-reported resolution. (60 minutes)

TITLE II—RECONCILIATION

(a) SUBMISSION PROVIDING ECONOMIC GROWTH.—(1) The House 

Committee on Ways and Means shall report to the House a reconciliation bill not later than April 11, 2003, that consists of 

changes in laws within its jurisdiction sufficient to reduce the total 

level of revenues by not more than: $46,700,000,000 for the period 

of fiscal years 2003 and 2004 and increase the total level of revenues by not more than $49,900,000,000 for the period of fiscal 

years 2004 through 2013. 

(2) It is the sense of the Congress that in complying with the instructions set forth in paragraph (1) the Committee on Ways and 

Means should provide immediate tax relief and economic stimulus 

by accelerating tax relief for middle-class families through increases in the child tax credit, marriage penalty relief, and reductions in individual income tax rates, provide incentives for business 

investment, provide immediate and permanent estate tax relief and 

defer tax relief for individual taxpayers with incomes above

SEC. 314. EMERGENCY LEGISLATION. 

(a) AUTHORITY TO DESIGNATE.—If a provision of direct spending 

or receipts legislation is enacted or if appropriations for discretionary accounts are enacted that the President designates as an 

emergency requirement and that the Congress so designates in

in all fiscal years resulting from that provision shall be designated 

as an emergency requirement for the purpose of this resolution. 

(b) DESIGNATIONS.—

(1) GUIDANCE.—If a provision of legislation is designated as 

an emergency requirement under subsection (a), the committee 

report and any statement of managers accompanying that legislation shall analyze whether a proposed emergency requirement meets all the criteria in paragraph (2). 

(2) CRITERIA.—

47

(A) IN GENERAL.—The criteria to be considered in determining whether a proposed expenditure or tax change is 

an emergency requirement are that the expenditure or tax 

change is— (i) necessary, essential, or vital (not merely useful or 

beneficial); 

(ii) sudden, quickly coming into being, and not building up over time; 

(iii) an urgent, pressing, and compelling need requiring immediate action; 

(iv) subject to subparagraph (B), unforeseen, unpredictable, and unanticipated; and 

(v) not permanent, temporary in nature. 

(B) UNFORESEEN.—An emergency that is part of an aggregate level of anticipated emergencies, particularly when 

normally estimated in advance, is not unforeseen. 

(3) JUSTIFICATION FOR USE OF DESIGNATION.—When an emergency designation is proposed in any bill, joint resolution, or 

conference report thereon, the committee report and the statement of managers accompanying a conference report, as the 

case may be, shall provide a written justification of why the 

provision meets the criteria set forth in paragraph (2). 

(c) DEFINITIONS.—In this section, the terms ‘‘direct spending’’, ‘‘receipts’’, and ‘‘appropriations for discretionary accounts’’ means

the House, in the consideration of any measure for amendment in 

the Committee of the Whole containing any emergency spending 

designation, it shall always be in order unless specifically waived 

by terms of a rule governing consideration of that measure, to 

move to strike such emergency spending designation from the portion of the bill then open to amendment. 

(2) The Committee on Rules shall include in the report required 

by clause 1(d) of rule XI (relating to its activities during the Congress) of the Rules of House of Representatives a separate item 

identifying all waivers of points of order relating to emergency 

spending designations, listed by bill or joint resolution number and 

the subject matter of that measure. 

(e) COMMITTEE NOTIFICATION OF EMERGENCY LEGISLATION.—

Whenever the Committee on Appropriations or any other committee of either House (including a committee of conference) reports any bill or joint resolution that provides budget authority for 

any emergency, the report accompanying that bill or joint resolution (or the joint explanatory statement of managers in the case of 

a conference report on any such bill or joint resolution) shall identify all provisions that provide budget authority and the outlays 

flowing therefrom for such emergency and include a statement of 

the reasons why such budget authority meets the definition of an 

emergency pursuant to the guidelines described in subsection (b). 

(f) CONFERENCE REPORTS.—If a point of order is sustained under 

this section against a conference report, the report shall be disVerDate Jan 31 2003 06:48 Mar 20, 2003 Jkt 019008 PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR044.XXX HR044

TITLE V—SENSES OF CONGRESS 

SEC. 501. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN PROGRAMS TO ACHIEVE BUDGET GOALS. 

(a) Congress finds that—

73

(1) The Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 

2004 should achieved the following key goals: 

(A) Ensure adequate funding is available for essential 

government programs, in particular 

(B) Defense and homeland security; 

(C) Foster greater economic growth and increased domestic employment by eliminating those provisions in the 

tax code (these provisions include, but are not limited to, 

the double taxation of corporate dividends, the taxation of 

capital gains, the limitations on expensing, the phased-in 

rather than immediate reduction of personal income tax 

rates, and the alternative minimum tax) that discourage 

economic growth and job creation; 

(D) Bring the Federal budget back into balance as soon 

as possible; 

(2) The Federal Government spends billions of dollars each 

year on programs and projects that are of marginal value to 

the country as a whole. 

(3) Funding for these lower priority programs should be 

viewed in light of the goals of this Concurrent Resolution and 

whether or not continued funding of these programs advances 

or hinders the achievement of these goals. 

(4) This Concurrent Resolution assumes that funding for 

many lower priority programs will be reduced or eliminated in 

order to increase funding for defense and homeland security 

while at the same time controlling overall spending. 

(b) It is the Sense of Congress that the following programs 

should be eliminated: 

(1) Title X Family Planning; 

(2) Corporation for Public Broadcasting; 

(3) National Endowment for the Arts; 

(4) Legal Services Corporation; and 

(5) Advanced Technology Program. 

SEC. 502. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE ABOLISHMENT OF 

OBSOLETE AGENCIES AND THE FEDERAL SUNSET ACT OF 

2003. 

(a) Congress finds that—

(1) The National Commission on the Public Service’s recent 

report, ‘‘Urgent Business For America: Revitalizing The Federal Government For The 21st Century,’’ states that government missions are so widely dispersed among so many agencies that no coherent management is possible. The report also 

states that fragmentation leaves many gaps, inconsistencies, 

and inefficiencies in government oversight and results in an 

unacceptable level of public health protection. 

(2) According to the Commission, there are: more than 35 

food safety laws administered by 12 different federal agencies; 

541 clean air, water, and waste programs in 29 federal agencies; 50 different programs to aid the homeless in eight different federal agencies; and 27 teen pregnancy programs operated in nine federal agencies; and 90 early childhood programs 

scattered among 11 federal agencies. 

(3) According to the General Accounting Office, there are 163 

programs with a job training or employment function, 64 welVerDate Jan 31 2003 06:48 Mar 20, 2003 Jkt 019008 PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR044.XXX HR044
74

fare programs of a similar nature, and more than 500 urban

aid programs. 

(4) GAO also indicates 13 agencies coordinate 342 economic 

development programs, but there is very little or no coordination between them. This situation has created a bureaucracy so 

complex that many local communities stop applying for economic assistance. At the same time, the General Accounting 

Office reports that these programs often serve as nothing more 

than funnels for pork, have ‘‘no significant effect’’ on the economy, and cost as much as $307,000 to create each job. 

(5) In 1976, Colorado became the first state to implement a 

sunset mechanism. Today, about half of the nation’s states 

have some sort of sunset mechanism in effect to monitor their 

legislative branch agencies. On the Federal level, the United 

States Senate in 1978 overwhelmingly passed legislation to 

sunset most of the federal government agencies by a vote of 

87–1. 

(6) In Texas, ‘‘sunsetting’’ has eliminated 44 agencies and saved the taxpayers $720 million compared with expenditures 

of $16.94 million for the Sunset Commission. Based on these 

estimates, for every dollar spent on the Sunset process, the 

State has received about $42.50 in return. 

(b) IT IS THE SENSE OF CONGRESS THAT.—The House of Representatives should adopt H.R. 1227, The Abolishment of Obsolete 

Agencies and Federal Sunset Act of 2003. 

3. AN AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE TO BE OF- FERED BY REPRESENTATIVE OWENS OF NEW YORK, OR HIS DES- IGNEE

the Committee on Ways and Means, the Committee on Energy and 

Commerce, or both committees report a bill, or an amendment is 

offered thereto or a conference report thereon is submitted, which 

provides a prescription drug benefit under the medicare program 

that is voluntary, equitable, comprehensive, affordable, dependable, 

protects beneficiary access to drugs, and is cost effective, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget shall revise allocations and 

adjust aggregates in this resolution by the amount provided by that 

measure for that purpose, subject to section 203.

(a) COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE.—In 

the House, if the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure 

reports a bill or joint resolution, or if an amendment thereto is offered or a conference report thereon is submitted, that provides 

new budget authority for the budget accounts or portions thereof 

in the highway and transit categories as defined in sections 

250(c)(4)(B) and (C) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 

Control Act of 1985 in excess of the following amounts: 

(1) for fiscal year 2004: $39,233,000,000,

(3) for fiscal year 2006: $40,841,000,000, 

(4) for fiscal year 2007: $41,684,000,000, or 

(5) for fiscal year 2008: $42,605,000,000, 

and the amount of such excess in each such year is offset by reductions in the deficit caused by such legislation or any previously enacted legislation that changes direct spending from, or receipts subsequently appropriated to, the Highway Trust Fund, then the 

chairman of the Committee on the Budget may increase the allocation of new budget authority for such committee by the amount of 

such excess for fiscal year 2004 and by the total amount of such

amendment thereto is offered or a conference report thereon is submitted, that establishes obligation limitations that in total are in 

excess of 38,496,000,000 for fiscal year 2004, but not to exceed the 

amount of such excess that was offset pursuant to subsection (a), 

for programs, projects, and activities within the highway and transit categories as defined in sections 250(c)(4)(B) and (C) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 and if 

legislation has been enacted that satisfies the conditions set forth 

in subsection (a) for such fiscal year, then the chairman of the 

Committee on the Budget may increase the allocation of outlays for 

such fiscal year for the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, as appropriate, by the 

amount of outlays that corresponds to the increase in the allocation 

of new budget authority provided pursuant to subsection (a) for fiscal years 2004 through 2008, but such outlays may be allocated 

only for programs, projects, and activities within the highway and 

transit categories as defined in sections 250(c)(4)(B) and (C) of the

TITLE III—SENSE OF CONGRESS 

PROVISIONS 

SEC. 301. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING FUNDING FOR HOMELAND SECURITY. 

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—

105

(1) the President’s budget includes a total of $41.3 billion for 

all homeland security activities for 2004, including mandatory, 

discretionary, and fee-funded activities; 

(2) the President’s current budget does not contain any additional funding for 2003 for homeland security beyond what has 

already been provided; and 

(3) there is need for additional homeland security resources 

for 2003, 2004, and subsequent years in order to protect our 

country against terrorist attacks. 

(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Congress 

that—

(1) this resolution provides $10 billion in additional homeland security funding for 2003, and a total of $24 billion in additional homeland security funding in the years 2004–13, for a 

total of $34 billion above the President’s request over the time 

period covered by this resolution; and 

(2) this funding provides the resources needed to train and 

equip our first responders, strengthen the security of the Nation’s transportation system and other critical infrastructure, 

increase the preparedness of our public health system, and secure our borders. 

SEC. 302. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE CONSERVATION 

SPENDING CATEGORY. 

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—

(1) the fiscal year 2001 Interior Appropriations Act (P.L. 

106–291), which established a separate discretionary spending 

category for land conservation and natural resource protection 

programs for the fiscal years 2001 through 2006, passed by 

large margins in both the House and the Senate; 

(2) in establishing a separate conservation spending category, Congress recognized the chronic underfunding of programs that protect and enhance public lands, wildlife habitats, 

urban parks, historic and cultural landmarks, and coastal ecosystems; and 

(3) the expiration of the provisions of law defining and enforcing the conservation spending category was not due to a 

lack of Congressional support for the programs included in the 

category or a loss of desire to set aside dedicated funds for

P.L. 106–291.
