any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature. 

The waiver of all points of order against the amendments printed 

in this report includes a waiver of clause 10(c) of rule XVIII, which 

requires that amendments to the concurrent resolution on the 

budget be mathematically consistent and prohibits amendments 

from proposing to change the appropriate level of public debt set 

forth in the concurrent resolution.

SEC. 413. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS. 

(a) IN GENERAL.—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. 

(b) LIMITATION ON APPLICATION.—The following provisions of H. 

Res. 5 (112th Congress) shall no longer have force or effect:

TITLE V—POLICY 

SEC. 501. POLICY STATEMENT ON TAX REFORM. 

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

(1) America’s tax code is broken and must be reformed. 

(2) The current individual income tax system is confusing 

and complicated, while the corporate income tax is the highest 

in the world and hurts America’s ability to compete abroad. 

(3) Tax expenditures are simply spending through the tax 

code, and cost taxpayers approximately $1.3 trillion annually. 

They increase the deficit and cause tax rates to be higher than 

they otherwise would be. 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
55 

(4) Tax reform should lower tax rates, reduce the deficit, 

simplify the tax code, reduce or eliminate tax expenditures, 

and help start and expand businesses and create jobs. 

(b) POLICY ON FUNDAMENTAL TAX REFORM.—It is the policy of 

this resolution that fundamental income tax reform shall be based 

on the principles and framework outlined in the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles Moment of Truth report and the bipartisan RivlinDomenici Restoring America’s Future report including: 

(1) lowering individual and corporate income tax rates 

across-the-board with the top rate reduced to between 23 and 

29 percent unless the top rate must be higher than 29 percent 

to offset preferential treatment for capital gains; 

(2) shifting the corporate income tax from a worldwide to a 

territorial system; 

(3) increasing the competitiveness of U.S. businesses; 

(4) broadening the tax base by reducing or eliminating tax 

expenditures; 

(5) preserving reformed versions of tax provisions addressing 

low-income workers and families; mortgage interest for principal residences; employer-provided health insurance; charitable giving; and retirement savings and pensions; 

(6) maintaining or improving progressivity of the tax code; 

and 

(7) simplifying the tax code. 

SEC. 502. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE. 

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

(1) More than 50 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. The Medicare Trustees continue to stress the 

importance of developing and implementing further means of 

reducing health care cost growth in the coming years. According to the Board of Trustees, Federal Hospital Insurance and 

Federal Supplemental Medicare Insurance Trust Funds, the official source for Medicare financial and actuarial status: 

(A) The Hospital Insurance (HI) Trust Fund will remain 

solvent until 2024, at which point it would be unable to 

fully pay all scheduled HI benefits. 

(B) Medicare spending is growing faster than the economy. Medicare outlays are currently rising at a rate of 6.3 

percent per year, and under alternative fiscal scenario of 

the Congressional Budget Office, mandatory spending on 

Medicare is projected to reach 7 percent of GDP by 2035 

and 14 percent of GDP by 2085. 

(3) Failing to address this problem will leave younger generations burdened with an enormous debt to pay and less 

health care security in old age, for spending levels that cannot 

be sustained. 

(4) Medicare spending needs to be put on a sustainable path 

and the Medicare program needs to become solvent over the 

long-term. 

(b) POLICY OF MEDICARE REFORM.—It is the policy of this resolution that Congress should work on a bipartisan basis to ensure the 

future of the Medicare program is preserved. The Medicare changes 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
56 

under this resolution shall reflect the principles and framework 

outlined in the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles Moment of Truth report 

including: 

(1) reforms achieving savings within the budget window from 

policies including but not limited to: 

(A) permanently reforming or replacing the Medicare 

sustainable growth rate with a system that encourages coordination of care and moves toward payment based on 

quality rather than quantity; 

(B) reducing Medicare fraud; 

(C) reforming cost sharing requirements; 

(D) accelerating or strengthening payment and delivery 

system reforms; and 

(E) increasing drug discounts; and 

(2) setting targets for the total Federal budgetary commitment to health care and requiring further structural reforms if 

the policies in this resolution and other reforms are not sufficient to limit the growth of total Federal budgetary commitment to health care, including mandatory programs and provisions of the tax code related to health care to GDP plus 1 percent. 

SEC. 503. POLICY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY. 

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

(1) More than 55 million retirees, individuals with disabilities, and survivors depend on Social Security. Since enactment, Social Security has served as a vital leg on the ‘‘threelegged stool’’ of retirement security, which includes employer 

provided pensions as well as personal savings. 

(2) The Social Security Trustees report has repeatedly recommended that Social Security’s long-term financial challenges 

be addressed soon. Each year without reform, the financial 

condition of Social Security becomes more precarious and the 

threat to seniors and those receiving Social Security disability 

benefits becomes more pronounced: 

(A) In 2016, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund will be 

exhausted and will be unable to pay scheduled benefits. 

(B) In 2036, according to the Social Security Trustees 

Report the combined Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and Federal Disability Insurance Trust 

Fund will be exhausted, and will be unable to pay scheduled benefits. 

(C) With the exhaustion of the trust funds in 2036, benefits will be cut 23 percent across the board, devastating 

those currently in or near retirement and those who rely 

on Social Security the most. 

(3) The current recession has exacerbated the crisis to Social 

Security. The Congressional Budget Office continues to project 

permanent cash deficits. 

(4) Lower-income Americans rely on Social Security for a 

larger proportion of their retirement income. Therefore, reforms should take into consideration the need to protect lowerincome Americans’ retirement security. 

(5) Americans deserve action by their elected officials on Social Security reform. It is critical that the Congress and the adVerDate Mar 15 2010 04:09 Mar 28, 2012 Jkt 019008 PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR423.XXX HR423

ministration work together in a bipartisan fashion to address 

the looming insolvency of Social Security. In this spirit, this 

resolution creates a bipartisan opportunity to find solutions by 

requiring policymakers to ensure that Social Security remains 

a critical part of the safety net. 

(b) POLICY ON SOCIAL SECURITY.—It is the policy of this resolution that Congress should work on a bipartisan basis to make Social Security sustainably solvent over 75 years, as certified by the 

Congressional Budget Office using estimates provided by the Social 

Security Administration Office of the Chief Actuary. Legislation to 

ensure sustainable solvency shall reflect the principles and framework outlined in the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles Moment of Truth 

report and the bipartisan Rivlin-Domenici Restoring America’s Future report, which: 

(1) achieve the following objectives: 

(A) protect those in and near retirement; 

(B) preserve the safety net for those who rely on Social 

Security, including survivors and those with disabilities; 

(C) improve fairness for participants; and 

(D) reduce the burden on, and provide certainty for, future generations, and 

(2) include, among other proposals: 

(A) moving to a more progressive benefit formula; 

(B) providing an enhanced minimum benefit for lowwage workers; 

(C) increasing benefits for the elderly and long-time disabled, accounting for changes in life expectancy over the 

next 75 years; and 

(D) gradually restoring the maximum wage base that 

has slowly eroded. 

SEC. 504. POLICY STATEMENT ON BUDGET ENFORCEMENT. 

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

(1) The Congressional Budget Office, the Federal Reserve, 

the Government Accountability Office, the Simpson-Bowles Fiscal Commission, the Rivlin-Domenici Debt Reduction Task 

Force, and ten former Chairmen of the Council of Economic 

Advisors all concluded that debt is growing at unsustainable 

rates and must be brought under control. 

(2) According to the Congressional Budget Office, if entitlements are not reformed, entitlement spending on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid will exceed the historical average 

of revenue collections as a share of the economy within forty 

years. 

(3) According to the Congressional Budget Office, under current policies, debt would reach levels that the economy could 

no longer sustain in 2035 and a fiscal crisis is likely to occur 

well before that date. 

(7) To avoid a fiscal crisis and maintain program solvency, 

Congress must enact legislation that makes structural reforms 

to entitlement programs. 

(8) Instead of automatic debt increases and automatic spending increases, Congress needs to put limits on spending with 

automatic reductions if spending limits are not met. 

(9) The budget lacks both short- and long-term spending controls. Greater transparency and the use of spending controls, 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
58 

particularly for long-term entitlement spending, are needed to 

tackle this growing threat of a fiscal crisis. 

(b) POLICY ON DEBT CONTROLS.—It is the policy of this concurrent resolution on the budget that in order to stabilize the debt and 

bring it under control, the following statutory spending and debt 

controls are needed: 

(1) Enforceable statutory caps on discretionary spending at 

levels set forth in this concurrent resolution on the budget for 

the period of fiscal years 2013 through 2022, that includes: 

(A) separate limits on security and nonsecurity spending 

and firewalls through fiscal year 2015, and limits on Overseas Contingency Operations through 2021; 

(B) a point of order; and 

(C) an across-the-board sequester to bring spending back 

in line with statutory caps if the point of order is waived. 

At the end of each session of Congress, the Congressional 

Budget Office shall certify that discretionary spending approved by Congress is within the discretionary spending caps. 

If the caps are not met, the Office of Management and Budget 

would be required to implement an across-the-board sequester. 

(2) Establish a debt stabilization process to provide a backstop to enforce savings and keep the Federal budget on path 

to achieve long-term targets that: 

(A) Require at the beginning of each year, the Office of 

Management and Budget to report to the President and 

the Congressional Budget Office to report to the Congress 

whether— 

(i) the budget is projected to be in primary balance 

in 2015; 

(ii) the debt held by the public as a percentage of 

GDP is projected to be stable at 2015 levels for the following five years; and 

(iii) beginning in fiscal year 2016, whether the actual debt-to-GDP ratio will exceed the prior year’s 

ratio. 

(B) In a year in which the Office of Management and 

Budget indicates any one of these conditions has not been 

met, the President’s budget submission shall include legislative recommendations that would restore primary budget 

balance in 2015 or, after 2015, stabilize the debt-to-GDP 

ratio. 

(C) If the Congressional budget resolution also shows 

that one of these conditions has not been met, the resolution shall include fast-track procedures for debt stabilization legislation to bring the budget back within the deficit 

or debt targets. 

(D) If Congress cannot agree upon a budget resolution in 

a timely manner, and the report of the Congressional 

Budget Office predicts one of these conditions has not been 

met, then any Member of the House may introduce a debt 

stabilization bill, and a motion to proceed to that bill shall 

be considered on the floor. 

(E) Congressional action on debt stabilization action 

would be enforced by a supermajority point of order 

against any legislation that would provide new mandatory 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
59 

budget authority or reduce revenues until a stabilization 

bill has been passed in years during which a budget resolution includes a debt stabilization instruction. The debt 

stabilization process would be suspended if nominal GDP 

grew by less than one percent in the prior fiscal year. The 

process could also be suspended by the enactment of a 

joint resolution stating that stabilization legislation would 

cause or exacerbate an economic downturn. 

SEC. 505. 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, Fed- eral 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. 506. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF WASTE, 

FRAUD, AND ABUSE IN FEDERAL PROGRAMS. 

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

(1) The Government Accountability Office 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’’. 

(3) The Rules of the House of Representatives require each 

standing committee to hold at least one hearing every four 

months on waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement in Government programs. 

(4) The findings resulting from congressional oversight of 

Federal Government programs should result in programmatic 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
60 

changes in both authorizing statutes and program funding levels. 

(b) POLICY ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE REDUCTION 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 reduced or eliminated. Such recommendations shall be 

made publicly available. 

TITLE VI—SENSE OF THE HOUSE 

PROVISIONS 

SEC. 601. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON A RESPONSIBLE DEFICIT REDUCTION PLAN. 

It is the sense of the House that— 

(1) the Nation’s debt is an immense security threat to our 

country, just as Admiral Mullen, the former Chairman of the 

Joint Chiefs of Staff, has stated; 

(2) the Government Accountability Office has issued reports 

documenting billions of dollars of waste and duplication at 

Government agencies; 

(3) the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles Fiscal Commission and 

the bipartisan Rivlin-Domenici Debt Reduction Task Force 

were correct in concluding that everything, including spending 

and revenue, should be ‘‘on the table’’ as part of a deficit reduction plan; and 

(4) any budget plan to reduce the deficit must follow this 

precept. 

SEC. 602. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING LOW-INCOME PROGRAMS. 

It is the sense of the House that in achieving the deficit reduction targets outlined in section 201, the importance of low-income 

programs that help those most in need should be taken into consideration.

SEC. 311. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING BASELINE REVENUE 

PROJECTIONS. 

For purposes of constructing its baseline revenue projections, the 

Congressional Budget Office should assume that any tax provision 

which is scheduled to expire under current law will be extended 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
104 

through the duration of any budget forecast by Congressional 

Budget Office so as to ensure that expiring tax provisions and expiring spending programs (other than direct appropriations) are 

treated in like fashion. 

SEC. 312. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING LONG-TERM BUDGET 

PROJECTIONS. 

For purposes of constructing its ten-year and long-term budget

domestic product (GDP).

TITLE V—POLICY 

SEC. 501. 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. 502. POLICY STATEMENT ON BAILOUTS OF STATE AND LOCAL 

GOVERNMENTS. 

It is the policy of this resolution that the Federal Government 

should not bailout State and local governments, including State 

and local government employee pension plans and other post-employment benefit plans. 

SEC. 503. 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. 504. POLICY STATEMENT ON REFORMING THE FEDERAL BUDGET 

PROCESS. 

It is the policy of this resolution that the Federal budget process 

should be reformed so that it is easier to reduce Federal spending 

than it is to increase it by enacting reforms included in the Spending, Deficit, and Debt Control Act of 2009 (H.R. 3964, 111th Congress). 

SEC. 505. 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. 

SEC. 506. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE. 

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

(1) More than 50 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 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
106 

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

(A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be exhausted 

in 2022 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 

6.3 percent per year, and under the Congressional Budget 

Office’s alternative fiscal scenario, direct spending on 

Medicare is projected to reach 7 percent of GDP by 2035 

and 14 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 to protect those in and near retirement from any disruptions 

to their Medicare benefits and offer future beneficiaries the same 

health care options available to Members of Congress. 

(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. 

(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. 507. 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 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
107 

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. 508. POLICY STATEMENT ON BLOCK GRANTING MEDICAID. 

It is the policy of this resolution that Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) should be block granted 

to the states by enacting the State Health Flexibility Act of 2012 

(H.R. 4160) as introduced on March 7, 2012. 

Amend the title so as to read: ‘‘Concurrent resolution establishing the budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 

2013 and setting forth appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal year 

2012 and fiscal years 2014 through 2022.’’.

retirees to receive both disability compensation and retired pay

SEC. 205. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR TRANSITIONAL MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. 

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 extends the Transitional Medical Assistance program in 

title XIX of the Social Security Act through fiscal year 2014, by the 

amounts provided in such measure if such measure would not increase the deficit for either of the following time periods: fiscal year 

2012 to fiscal year 2017 or fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2022. 

SEC. 206. 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 2012 to fiscal year 

2017 or fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2022. 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 administrative 

expenses, program integrity is improved and child support participation increases.

HOUSING TRUST FUND.

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 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 makes college more affordable, including efforts to keep 

the interest rate on subsidized student loans from doubling in July

not increase the deficit for either of the following time periods, fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2017 or fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 

2022.

SEC. 306. REINSTATEMENT OF PAY-AS-YOU-GO. 

In the House, and pursuant to section 301(b)(8) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, for the remainder of the 112th Congress, 

the following shall apply in lieu of ‘‘CUTGO’’ rules and principles: 

(1) (A) Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3), it shall 

not be in order to consider any bill, joint resolution, amendment, or conference report if the provisions of such measure affecting direct spending and revenues have the net effect of increasing the on-budget deficit or reducing the on-budget surplus for the period comprising either— 

(i) the current year, the budget year, and the four years 

following that budget year; or 

(ii) the current year, the budget year, and the nine years 

following that budget year. 

(B) The effect of such measure on the deficit or surplus shall 

be determined on the basis of estimates made by the Committee on the Budget. 

(C) For the purpose of this section, the terms ‘‘budget year’’, 

‘‘current year’’, and ‘‘direct spending’’ have the meanings specified in section 250 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, except that the term ‘‘direct spending’’ 

shall also include provisions in appropriation Acts that make 

outyear modifications to substantive law as described in section 3(4) (C) of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010. 

(2) If a bill, joint resolution, or amendment is considered pursuant to a special order of the House directing the Clerk to add 

as new matter at the end of such measure the provisions of a 

separate measure as passed by the House, the provisions of 

such separate measure as passed by the House shall be included in the evaluation under paragraph (1) of the bill, joint 

resolution, or amendment. 

(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the evaluation under paragraph (1) shall exclude a provision expressly

SEC. 307. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS. 

The House adopts the provisions of this title—

smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
130

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 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; 

(2) a financial crisis in 2008 worsened the situation and by 

January 2009, the private sector was shedding 840,000 jobs 

per month; 

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

(4) the economy has created 3.9 million private jobs over the 

past 24 consecutive months; 

(5) 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; 

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

accelerate and continue for an extended period of time in order 

for the economy to fully recover from the recession; and 

(7) 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 one-third lower than it 

is today. 

(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. 

(2) JOBS.—This resolution— 

(A) 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 budget; and 

(iii) the President’s proposed surface transportation 

legislation; 

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

(C) 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 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
131 

high-growth industries with skills that will lead directly to 

jobs; and 

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

infrastructure improvements or other spending or revenue 

proposals. 

SEC. 402. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON SEQUESTRATION. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 

(1) the Budget Control Act of 2011 called upon the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction and the Congress to enact 

legislation to achieve $1.2 trillion in savings; 

(2) the Joint Select Committee could not reach agreement 

and did not report savings legislation to the Congress; 

(3) failure to enact the required savings triggered sequestration procedures as required under the Budget Control Act; and 

(4) this resolution assumes the enactment of savings in excess of $1.2 trillion, negating the need for sequestration to 

achieve the savings. 

(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of the House that paragraphs (3) 

through (11) of section 251A of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended by the Budget Control Act 

of 2011, shall be repealed. 

SEC. 403. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON TAKING A BALANCED APPROACH 

TO DEFICIT REDUCTION. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 

(1) the President’s budget request and every bipartisan analysis of the Nation’s future fiscal path have recommended deficit reduction through a balanced approach that includes both 

spending and revenue; and 

(2) The President’s choices represent the right general balance of changes to spending and revenue. 

(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of this resolution to reduce the deficit 

through a similar balance of spending and revenue changes. The 

resolution does not endorse any specific spending cuts or revenue 

proposals unless they are expressly stated in this resolution. 

SEC. 404. 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 2011, 55 million people relied on Social Security; 

(3) Social Security benefits are modest, with an average annual benefit for retirees of less than $15,000, while the average 

total retirement income is less than $26,000 per year; 

(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 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
132 

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 this resolution 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. 405. 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; 

(2) in 2011, nearly 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) excess health care cost growth is not unique to Medicare 

or other Federal health programs, it is 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 excess health care cost growth 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. 406. 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 more than 30,000,000 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 deVerDate Mar 15 2010 04:09 Mar 28, 2012 Jkt 019008 PO 00000 Frm 00132 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR423.XXX HR423

smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
133 

nying 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. 

(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. 407. 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 that is incapable of responding to increased need that may result from trends in health care costs or 

economic conditions. 

SEC. 408. 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 proVerDate Mar 15 2010 04:09 Mar 28, 2012 Jkt 019008 PO 00000 Frm 00133 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR423.XXX HR423

134 

vided for operations in Afghanistan through the Overseas Contingency Operations budget beyond 2014. 

SEC. 409. 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 and 

defense budgets have to be driven by a strategy; 

(2) 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; 

(3) 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; 

(4) 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; 

(5) from 2001 to 2010, the ‘‘base’’ Pentagon budget nearly 

doubled and, in 2010, the U.S. spent more on defense than the 

next 17 countries combined (and more than half of the amount 

spent by those 17 countries was from seven NATO countries 

and four other close allies); 

(6) last year, Admiral Mullen argued that the permissive 

budget environment had allowed the Pentagon to avoid 

prioritizing; 

(7) 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 were identified in 

a report issued last year by the Government Accountability Office; 

(8) 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; 

(9) the Department of Defense should continue to review defense plans 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; 

(10) more than 94 percent of the increase in the Federal civilian workforce since 2001 is due to increases at security-related 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 perVerDate Mar 15 2010 04:09 Mar 28, 2012 Jkt 019008 PO 00000 Frm 00134 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR423.XXX HR423

forming 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; 

(11) 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; 

(12) ballistic missile defense technologies that are not proven 

to work through adequate testing and that are not operationally viable should not be deployed, and that no funding should 

be provided for the research or development of space-based 

interceptors; 

(13) 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; and 

(14) the Department of Defense should make every effort to 

investigate the national security benefits of energy independence, including those that may be associated with alternative 

energy sources and energy efficiency conversions. 

(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; and 

(2) the Administration shall provide an additional bonus to 

members of the Armed Forces who serve in harm’s way. This 

bonus shall be provided from savings that are achieved by increasing efficiencies, eliminating duplicative programs, and 

reining in waste, fraud, and abuse at the Nation’s security 

agencies. 

SEC. 410. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON TAX REFORM AND DEFICIT REDUCTION. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 

(1) the House must pursue deficit reduction through reform 

of the tax code, which contains numerous tax breaks for special 

interests; 

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

to administer the code and the taxpayer’s ability to fully comply with its terms, while also undermining our basic sense of 

fairness; 

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

extending the research and development credit and clean energy incentives; 

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


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
136 

businesses to ship American jobs and capital overseas for tax 

purposes; and 

(5) 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. 

(b) POLICY.— (1) POLICY ON INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAXES.— (A) The President and this resolution extend the middle 

class tax cuts, provide long-term relief from the Alternative Minimum Tax for tens of millions of middle class 

American families, and discontinue the additional estate 

tax relief resulting from the increased estate tax exemption and reduced maximum tax rate enacted in 2010. 

(B) The President and this resolution assume the revenue from returning to the top two tax rates that were in 

effect when President Clinton left office. The National 

Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform plan also 

assumes the revenue from returning to those top two tax 

rates for top earners. 

(C) The President and this resolution extend policies 

that re-invest in domestic manufacturing; build up the renewable energy production capacity of the United States in 

order to limit our reliance on foreign oil; expand access to 

higher education; and support saving and capital formation. 

(D) This resolution encourages the House Committee on 

Ways and Means to consider the various proposals made 

by the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and 

Reform to limit tax expenditures and raise revenue for deficit reduction; and expressly rejects the approach in the 

Republican resolution that provides millionaires with even 

larger tax cuts at the expense of middle-income taxpayers. 

This resolution protects middle-income taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes below $200,000 ($250,000 for married 

couples) and encourages the House Committee on Ways 

and Means to raise the revenue necessary in this resolution through tax expenditure reform proposals that would 

apply to households with over $1 million in adjusted gross 

income, consistent with the National Commission on Fiscal 

Responsibility and Reform’s proposals to limit tax expenditures. 

(E) In particular, this resolution encourages the House 

Committee on Ways and Means to consider various proposals for implementing a ‘‘Buffett Rule’’ – reflecting billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s realization that he faces 

a lower effective tax rate than his secretary – to ensure 

that middle class families do not face higher effective tax 

rates than the wealthiest members of society. 

(2) POLICY ON CORPORATE INCOME TAXES.— (A) The President and this resolution propose elimination of subsidies for the major integrated oil and gas 

companies, and pernicious tax breaks that reward U.S. 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
137 

corporations that ship American jobs – rather than products – overseas for tax purposes. 

(B) This resolution adopts those and other pro-growth 

corporate tax incentives in the President’s 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; extending the research and development credit; and extending and enhancing clean energy incentives. 

(C) This resolution therefore urges the House Committee 

on Ways and Means to consider the President’s framework 

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. 411. 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 away from wealthy agribusinesses and toward struggling 

family farmers in a manner that protects jobs and economic growth 

while preserving the farm and nutrition safety net. Finally, it is 

the policy of this resolution that no Member of Congress should 

personally receive agriculture commodity payments, in any calendar year, the total of which exceeds 15 percent of the annual rate 

of basic pay for level II of the Executive Schedule under section 

5313 of title 5, United States Code, as of January 1 of such calendar year. 

SEC. 412. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON THE USE OF TAXPAYER FUNDS. 

It is the policy of this resolution that the House of Representatives 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. 

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

forth the congressional budget for the United States Government

for fiscal year 2013 and including the appropriate budgetary levels 

for fiscal year 2012 and fiscal years 2014 through 2022.’’.
