                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1036]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1036, 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 H. Con Res. 
312, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for FY 2009, under 
a structured rule. The rule provides a total of four hours of 
general debate, three hours to be equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on the Budget and one hour on the subject of economic 
goals and policies to be equally divided and controlled by 
Representative Maloney of New York and Representative Saxton of 
New Jersey or their designees. The rule waives all points of 
order against consideration of the concurrent resolution and 
provides that the concurrent resolution shall be considered as 
read.
    The rule makes in order only those amendments printed in 
this report. The amendments made in order may be offered only 
in the order printed in the report, may be offered only by a 
Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, 
shall be debatable for the time specified in the report equally 
divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and 
shall not be subject to amendment. All points of order against 
the amendments are waived except that the adoption of an 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall constitute the 
conclusion of consideration of the concurrent resolution for 
amendment. The rule permits the Chairman of the Budget 
Committee to offer amendments in the House to achieve 
mathematical consistency. The rule provides that the concurrent 
resolution shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question of its adoption. The rule provides that after the 
motion that the Committee rise has been rejected on a 
legislative day, the Chair may entertain another such motion on 
that day only if offered by the Chairman of the Committee on 
the Budget or the Majority Leader and that after a motion to 
strike out the enacting words of the bill has been rejected, 
the Chair may not entertain another such motion during further 
consideration of the bill. The rule provides that the Chair may 
postpone further consideration of the concurrent resolution to 
a time designated by the Speaker. Finally, the rule provides 
for a motion to take the Senate concurrent resolution on the 
budget from the table, strike all after the resolving clause, 
and to insert in lieu thereof the provisions of House 
Concurrent Resolution 312 as adopted by the House.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of the concurrent resolution, the Committee is 
not aware of any specific points of order. The waiver of all 
points of order against consideration of the concurrent 
resolution is prophylactic in nature.

    (Summaries derived from information provided by sponsors.)
    1. Kilpatrick (MI)/Scott, Robert (VA): Amendment in the 
Nature of a Substitute. The substitute amendment, submitted on 
behalf of the Congressional Black Caucus, seeks an alternative 
budget that balances the budget in FY 2012. The CBC budget 
funds programs and services in the areas of health care, 
education, veterans benefits and services for low-income 
families. It also provides for additional services for the 
administration of justice and funds the recommendations of the 
House Committee on Homeland Security. (60 minutes)
    2. Lee (CA): Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute. The 
substitute amendment from the Congressional Progressive Caucus 
provides at least $551.7 billion for domestic, non-military 
discretionary spending in FY09; provides a $118.9 billion 
economic stimulus package; extends unemployment insurance, food 
stamp benefits, and Medicaid payments to states; and, spends 
$468.3 billion on defense. The Progressive Caucus budget 
balances by FY12 and rebalances again in FY18, upon completion 
of our Reinvest and Rebuild America Initiative. (60 minutes)
    3. Ryan, Paul (WI): Amendment in the Nature of a 
Substitute. The Republican substitute amendment balances by 
2012, retains provisions enacted in 2001/2003, prevents 
expansion of the AMT for the next 3 years, and achieves full 
repeal in 2013. Provides total discretionary budget authority 
of $1.04 trillion in fiscal year 2009, a 4.3-percent increase 
from 2008 enacted level. It imposes a moratorium on 
congressional earmarks for the balance of the 110th Congress; 
requires a separate vote on increasing the public debt; 
requires cost estimates on conference reports and unreported 
bills; prohibits domestic add-ons to emergency war spending 
bills; limits long-term spending commitments; prevents use of 
reconciliation to increase spending; limits ``advance 
appropriations'' to $23.565 billion in 2010; provides a $7.3-
billion domestic emergency reserve fund; provides for 
contingency war funds; incorporates bipartisan Legislative Line 
Item Veto. Calls for 1 percent decrease in entitlement program

                   TITLE II--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SEC. 201. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE REPORT TO CONGRESS.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
          (1) between 2001 and 2007, GAO provided the 
        Department of Defense with 2864 recommendations, many 
        related to improving their business practices and, to 
        date, the Department of Defense has implemented 1389 
        recommendations and closed 215 recommendations without 
        implementation; and
          (2) the GAO estimates that the 1389 implemented 
        recommendations have yielded the Department of Defense 
        a savings of $63.7 billion between fiscal years 2001 
        and 2007.
  (b) Assumption; Report.--
          (1) Assumption.--This resolution assumes $300,000,000 
        to be used by the Department of Defense to implement 
        the remaining 1260 recommendations of the Government 
        Accountability Office.
          (2) Report.--The Secretary of Defense should submit a 
        report to Congress within 90 days that demonstrates how 
        each such recommendation will be implemented, and, in 
        the case of any such recommendation that cannot be 
        implemented, a detailed reason for such inability to 
        implement such recommendation.

SEC. 202. REDEPLOYMENT.

  It is the sense of the Congress that--
          (1) the war in Iraq should end as safely and quickly 
        as practicable and our troops should be brought home;
          (2) the performance of United States military 
        personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan should be commended, 
        their courage and sacrifice have been exceptional, and 
        when they come home, their service should be recognized 
        appropriately; and
          (3) the purpose of funds made available by this Act 
        should be to transition the mission of United States 
        Armed Forces in Iraq and undertake their redeployment, 
        and not to extend or prolong the war and occupation.
                              ----------

        increase in the statutory limit on the public debt;
          (2) contain a clear statement that an increase in the

SEC. 410. RESTRICTIONS ON ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS.

  (a) In General.--

        an amendment thereto.
          (2) Managers on the part of the House may not agree 
        to a Senate amendment that would violate paragraph (1)

SEC. 411. POLICY STATEMENT ON HANFORD AND NUCLEAR CLEAN-UP.

   It is the policy of this resolution that the United States 
Government must meet its responsibility in cleaning up nuclear 
waste sites created in the name of our Nation's defense by our 
World War II and Cold War era nuclear weapons production and is 
an obligation of the Federal Government, not an option. The 
Environmental Management program responsible for cleaning up 
these wastes requires a sufficient level of funding so as not 
to cause legal cleanup milestones and obligations to be missed.

SEC. 412. POLICY STATEMENT ON WAR FUNDING.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
          (1) there are currently more than 183,000 troops in 
        the theater supporting Operations Iraqi and Enduring 
        Freedom;
          (2) in February of 2007, the President submitted a 
        war request for supplemental funding to support these 
        troops and their ongoing operations in the global war 
        on terrorism;
          (3) more than a year later, Congress has only acted 
        to partially fund that request by providing less than 
        half of the funding required by the troops;
          (4) this policy assumes Congress will act on war 
        funding requests in a timely manner so as to avoid--
                  (A) not having sufficient funds to pay United 
                States soldiers, serving at home or abroad;
                  (B) not having sufficient funds to pay 
                civilian Army personnel;
                  (C) significant disruption in base budget 
                activities, which may result in delaying or 
                foregoing contracts and activities (e.g., 
                training) that ultimately may increase cost; 
                and
                  (D) losing the ability to use the Commanders 
                Emergency Response Program, which is critical 
                to the success of United States and Coalition 
                Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
  (b) Policy of the House on War Funding.--It is the policy of 
the House that funding for troops in Operations Iraqi and 
Enduring Freedom should be provided in a timely manner so as 
not hinder their performance or needlessly place them in harms 
way.

SEC. 413. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICAL LIABILITY.

  (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
          (1) medical liability and the resulting practice of 
        defensive medicine continue to plague the medical 
        profession in the United States, reducing access for 
        patients, increasing the cost of medical care 
        generally, and increasing the cost of government 
        programs such as Medicare and Medicaid for the United 
        States taxpayer; and
          (2) as the medical liability crisis grows, a large 
        fraction of these dollars will be spent on wasteful 
        health care services provided solely to shield 
        providers from a lawsuits.
  (b) Policy Statement on Medical Liability.--It is the policy 
of this resolution that it assumes effective medical liability 
reform which will contribute to the overall goal of domestic 
entitlement reform, constraining the growth of vital programs 
such as Medicare and Medicaid and helping to ensure their long-
term viability.

SEC. 414. POLICY STATEMENT ON THE MEDICARE ``TRIGGER''.

   This resolution assumes that the committees of jurisdiction, 
in complying with the reconciliation instruction set forth in 
section 20, will submit to the Committee on the Budget language 
that locks in any savings resulting from Medicare funding 
warning legislation designed to reduce the program's general 
revenue spending exceeding 45 percent. By directing savings 
solely to deficit reduction, this provision will help Medicare 
fulfill its mission for the long term.

SEC. 415. PROGRAM INTEGRITY INITIATIVES.

  (a) Adjustments to Discretionary Spending Limits.--
          (1) Continuing disability reviews and supplemental

          (2) Internal revenue service tax compliance.--In the

        of up to $490,000,000, and the amount is designated to 
        improve compliance with the provisions of the Internal 
        Revenue Code of 1986, the allocation to the Committee

        authority and outlays resulting from that budget 
        authority for fiscal year 2009.
          (4) Unemployment insurance program integrity 
        activities.--In the House, prior to consideration of a 
        bill or joint resolution making appropriations for 
        fiscal year 2009 that appropriates $10,000,000 for in-

        assessments and unemployment insurance improper payment 
        reviews for the Department of Labor, the allocation to 
        the Committee on Appropriations shall be increased by 
        the amount of additional budget authority and outlays 
        resulting from that budget authority for fiscal year 
        2009.
  (b) Procedure for Adjustments.--
          (1) In general.--In the House, prior to consideration

        authority if that measure meets the requirements set 
        forth in subsection (a), except that no adjustment 
        shall be made for provisions exempted for the purposes 
        of titles III and IV of the Congressional Budget Act of 
        1974 under section 404 of this resolution.
          (2) Matters to be adjusted.--The adjustments referred 
        to in paragraph (1) are to be made to--
                  (A) the allocations made pursuant to the 
                appropriate concurrent resolution on the budget 
                pursuant to section 302(a) of the Congressional 
                Budget Act of 1974; and

  This resolution assumes that the Committee on Ways and Means, 
in complying with the reconciliation instruction set forth 
pursuant to section 201(b) of this resolution, will prepare 
legislative language which will phase out the alternative 
minimum tax.

SEC. 417. POLICY STATEMENT ON HEALTH CARE SPENDING.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
          (1) Medicare's unfunded liability will grow from $34 
        trillion to $45 trillion in the next 5 years;
          (2) health care spending is expected to reach nearly 
        20 percent of GDP by 2017;
          (3) half of the Nation's $2.4 trillion in annual

          (4) the only way to ensure health care entitlement 
        programs survive and continue to fulfill their missions 
        in the 21st century is through fundamental reform.
  (b) Policy Statement on Health Care Spending.--This 
resolution assumes that the committees of jurisdiction over 
health care spending issues will report legislation to reduce 
health care costs and expand coverage, in part, by removing 
distortions in the health care market. The removal of these 
distortions may be accomplished by increasing personal 
ownership and improving health care quality and information 
through the sharing of information, including the passage of 
H.R. 1174 and H.R. 3370.

                    TITLE V--EMERGENCY RESERVE FUND

SEC. 501. NONDEFENSE RESERVE FUND FOR EMERGENCIES.

  (a) Nondefense Set Aside.--In the House:
          (1) Except as provided by subsection 506, if a bill

        conference report is filed thereon, that provides new 
        discretionary budget authority (and outlays flowing 
        therefrom), and such provision is designated as an 
        emergency pursuant to this section, the chairman of the 
        Committee on the Budget shall make adjustments to the

  (b) Additional Adjustment Procedures.--In the House, before 
any adjustment is made pursuant to this section for any bill, 
joint resolution, or conference report that designates a 
provision an emergency, the enactment of which would cause the

        subsection (a). If the Chairman does not call such a 
        meeting within 24 hours of a committee reporting such a 
        measure, any member of the Committee may call such a 
        meeting.
          (2) The motion referred to in paragraph (1) shall be 
        in the following form: ``I move that the chairman of 
        the Committee on the Budget be authorized to adjust the

        amount remaining in the set aside fund.
          (3) The motion set forth in paragraph (2) shall be 
        open for debate and amendment, but any amendment 
        offered thereto is only in order if limited to changing 
        an amount in the motion.
          (4) Except as provided by paragraph (5), the chairman 
        of the Committee on the Budget may not make any 
        adjustments under subsection (a) or subsection (b) 
        unless or until the committee filing a report or joint 
        statement of managers on a conference report on a 
        measure including an emergency designation fulfills the 
        terms set forth in section 504.
          (5) The chairman of the Committee on the Budget shall 
        make any adjustments he deems necessary under this

                        cancellation in such other message.
                  (C) Duplicative proposals prohibited.--The 
                President may not propose to cancel the same or 
                substantially similar discretionary budget

        the bill.
          (2) Consideration in the house of representatives.--
                  (A) Referral and reporting.--Any committee of 
                the House of Representatives to which an 
                approval bill is referred shall report it to 
                the House without amendment not later than the 
                seventh legislative day after the date of its 
                introduction. If a committee fails to report 
                the bill within that period or the House has 
                adopted a concurrent resolution providing for 
                adjournment sine die at the end of a Congress, 
                such committee shall be automatically 
                discharged from further consideration of the 
                bill and it shall be placed on the appropriate 
                calendar.
                  (B) Proceeding to consideration.--After an 
                approval bill is reported by or discharged from 
                committee or the House has adopted a concurrent 
                resolution providing for adjournment sine die

                bill in the House. Such a motion shall be in 
                order only at a time designated by the Speaker 
                in the legislative schedule within two

                motion. Such a motion shall not be in order 
                after the House has disposed of a motion to 
                proceed with respect to that special message.

                ordered on the motion to its adoption without 
                intervening motion. A motion to reconsider the 
                vote by which the motion is disposed of shall

                controlled by the proponent and an opponent and 
                one motion to limit debate on the bill. A 
                motion to reconsider the vote on passage of the 
                bill shall not be in order.

                        to the vote required under paragraph 
                        (1)(C), then the Senate may consider,

                        paragraph (1)(C), on the bill

                        upon receipt of the House companion 
                        bill, the House bill shall be deemed to 
                        be considered, read the third time, and 
                        the vote on passage of the Senate bill 
                        shall be considered to be the vote on

SEC. 605. ABUSE OF PROPOSED CANCELLATIONS.

   The President, or any executive branch official, should not

special message under this title upon any vote cast or to be 
cast by any Member of either House of Congress.

                        TITLE VII--PAY-AS-YOU-GO

SEC. 701. STRENGTHENING PAY-AS-YOU-GO.

  (a) Limitation.--In the House, in determining the effect of a 
bill, joint resolution, amendment or conference report on the 
deficit or surplus for purposes of clause 10 of rule XXI of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee on the 
Budget shall disregard provisions that are impermissible 
offsets.
  (b) Definition of Impermissible Offsets.--A provision is an 
``impermissible offset'' if the Committee on the Budget 
determines that it--
          (1) is the same or substantially the same as a change 
        in law reducing the deficit included in a bill, joint 
        resolution, or conference report previously passed by 
        the House but not enacted;
          (2) causes a decrease in outlays within the first 
        time period set forth in clause 10 of such rule XXI, 
        but causes no change in outlays over the second time 
        period included in the clause; or
          (3) causes an increase in revenue within the first 
        time period set forth in clause 10 of such rule XXI, 
        but causes no change in revenues over the second time 
        period included in the clause.
  (c) Treatment of Direct Spending Provisions.--In the House:
          (1) For purposes of enforcing clause 10 of rule XXI 
        of the Rules of the House of Representatives, a 
        provision included in a bill, joint resolution, or 
        conference report increasing direct spending in any 
        year may be deemed by the chairman of the Committee on 
        the Budget to be structured such that it artificially 
        disguises an increase in entitlement spending by use of 
        expiration dates or reductions in entitlement or 
        beneficiary levels.
          (2) The chairman of the Committee on the Budget shall 
        cause a clear statement for any bill, joint resolution 
        or conference report as to whether a provision 
        increasing mandatory budget authority or outlays has or 
        has not been structured as described in paragraph (1), 
        to be inserted in the Congressional Record if requested 
        by the Speaker, the Majority Leader, the Minority 
        Leader or the Ranking Member of the Committee on the 
        Budget.
  (d) Strengthen Pay-as-You-Go.--It shall not be in order to 
consider any bill, joint resolution, or conference report that 
increases the deficit in the budget year or the five-fiscal 
year period following the second period of fiscal years set 
forth in clause 10 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of the 
House Representatives. The effect of such measure on the 
deficit or surplus shall be determined on the same basis as set 
forth in such clause.

        estimates made by the appropriate Committee on the 
        Budget; and
          (2) such chairman may make any other necessary 
        adjustments to such levels to reflect the timing of 
        responses to reconciliation directives pursuant to 
        section 201 of this resolution.

  Congress adopts the provisions of this title--
          (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the 
        Senate and the House, respectively, and as such they 
        shall be considered as part of the rules of each House, 
        or of that House to which they specifically apply, and 
        such rules shall supersede other rules only to the
