19 TITLE II—BUDGETARY

20 PROCEDURES

21 SEC. 21. SALE OF GOVERNMENT ASSETS.

22 (a) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the

23 Congress that—

24 (1) from time to time the United States Govern25 ment should sell assets; and
46

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (2) the amounts realized from such asset sales

2 will not recur on an annual basis and do not reduce

3 the demand for credit.

4 (b) FINDING.—The Congress finds that every budget

5 resolution since that for fiscal year 1988 has included lan6 guage prohibiting counting in the budget process the

7 amounts realized from asset sales (other than loan assets).

8 (c) BUDGETARY TREATMENT.—For purposes of points

9 of order under this concurrent resolution and the Congres10 sional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the

11 amounts realized from sales of assets (other than loan as12 sets) shall not be scored with respect to the level of budget

13 authority, outlays, or revenues.

14 (d) DEFINITIONS.—For purposes of this section—

15 (1) the term ‘‘sale of an asset’’ shall have the

16 same meaning as under section 250(c)(21) of the Bal17 anced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of

18 1985 (as amended by the Budget Enforcement Act of

19 1990); and

20 (2) the term shall not include asset sales man21 dated by law before September 18, 1987, and routine,

22 ongoing asset sales at levels consistent with agency

23 operations in fiscal year 1986.

24 (e) SUNSET.—Subsections (a) through (d) of this sec25 tion shall expire September 30, 1998.

10 SEC. 22. SOCIAL SECURITY FIRE WALL POINT OF ORDER IN

11 THE SENATE.

12 (a) FINDING.—The Senate finds that the concurrent

16 trust fund.

17 (b) APPLICATION OF SECTION 301(i).—Notwithstand18 ing any other rule of the Senate, in the Senate, the point

10 system.

11 (b) FINDING.—The Senate finds that section 12(c) of

13 created a point of order prohibiting legislation that would

14 increase the deficit through fiscal year 2003.

15 (c) ENFORCEMENT.—

10 may be), and when taken together with all direct

11 spending and receipts legislation enacted after the

12 date of enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconcili13 ation Act of 1993.

7 deficit increase in the fiscal year immediately

8 preceding the prior fiscal year); and

9 (D) except as otherwise provided in this

10 subsection, include all direct spending legislation

11 as that term is defined in section 250(c)(8) of the

12 Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control

13 Act of 1985.

17 (e) APPEALS.—Appeals in the Senate from the deci18 sions of the Chair relating to any provision of this section

19 shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between,

13 TITLE III—SENSE OF CONGRESS

14 PROVISIONS

15 SEC. 31. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE BUD16 GETARY ACCOUNTING OF HEALTH CARE

17 REFORM.

18 It is the sense of the Congress that—

19 (1) the Congress should measure the costs and

20 benefits of all health care reform legislation against a

21 uniform set of economic and technical assumptions;

22 (2) before enacting major changes in the health

23 care system, the Congress should have available to it

24 reliable estimates of the costs of competing plans pre25 pared in a comparable manner;
73

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (3) Congress should use Congressional Budget

2 Office estimates in accounting for the costs and bene3 fits of health care reform legislation; and

4 (4) all financial transactions associated with

5 Federal health care reform legislation mandating em6 ployer payments for health care coverage should be

7 treated as part of the Federal budget, including em8 ployer mandated payments to entities (which should

9 be treated as Government receipts) and payments

10 made by the entities pursuant to Federal law (which

11 should be treated as outlays), for all purposes under

12 the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and the Bal13 anced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of

14 1985.

15 SEC. 32. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON THE COSTS OF ILLE16 GAL IMMIGRATION.

17 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

18 (1) the Federal Government is solely responsible

19 for setting and enforcing national immigration pol20 icy;

21 (2) the Federal Government has not adequately

22 enforced immigration laws;

23 (3) this weak enforcement has imposed financial

24 costs on State and local governments;
74

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (4) States must incur costs for incarcerating un2 documented persons convicted of State and local

3 crimes, educating undocumented children, providing

4 emergency medical services to undocumented persons,

5 and providing services incidental to admission of ref6 ugees under the Refugee Admissions and Resettlement

7 Program; and

8 (5) the Federal Government has an obligation to

9 reimburse State and local governments for costs re10 sulting from the costs described in paragraph (4).

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

12 that, in setting forth the budget authority and outlay

13 amounts in this resolution, funding should be provided to

14 reimburse State and local governments for the costs associ15 ated with—

16 (1) elementary and secondary education for un17 documented children;

18 (2) emergency medical assistance to undocu19 mented persons;

20 (3) incarceration and parole of criminal aliens;

21 and

22 (4) services incidental to admission of refugees

23 under the Refugee Admissions and Resettlement Pro24 gram.
75

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 SEC. 33. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING BASELINES.

2 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

3 (1) the baseline budget shows the likely course of

4 Federal revenues and spending if policies remain un5 changed;

6 (2) baseline budgeting has given rise to the prac7 tice of calculating policy changes from an inflated

8 spending level; and

9 (3) the baseline concept has been misused to por10 tray policies that would simply slow down the in11 crease in spending as spending reductions.

12 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Con13 gress that—

14 (1) the President should submit a budget that

15 compares proposed spending levels for the budget year

16 with the current year; and

17 (2) the starting point for deliberations on a

18 budget resolution should be the current year.

19 SEC. 34. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON ECONOMIC ASSUMP20 TIONS.

21 It is the sense of Congress that—

22 (1) economic assumptions play a significant role

23 in projecting Federal budget expenditures and reve24 nues;

25 (2) over the past decade and one-half, the eco26 nomic assumptions used by both the Office of Manage-
76

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 ment and Budget and by the Congressional Budget

2 Office have been less accurate than the Blue Chip pro3 jections;

4 (3) future economic assumptions utilized for

5 budget projection purposes should use the latest Blue

6 Chip projections for economic assumptions and

7 quoted public market rates when relevant for project8 ing interest rates; and

9 (4) in the event the Office of Management and

10 Budget or the Congressional Budget Office concludes

11 that using the Blue Chip indicators or market rates

12 are inaccurate, they should present their budget pro13 jections using both their own and Blue Chip and

14 market assumptions, along with an explanation of

15 why they find the latter to be unacceptable.

16 SEC. 35. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING UNFUNDED

17 FEDERAL MANDATES.

18 It is the sense of the Congress that—

19 (1) the Federal Government should not shift the

20 costs of administering Federal programs to State and

21 local governments;

22 (2) the Federal Government’s share of entitle23 ment programs should not be capped or otherwise de24 creased without providing States authority to amend
77

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 their financial or programmatic responsibilities to

2 continue meeting the mandated service;

3 (3) the Federal Government should not impose

4 excessive mandates and regulations that increase costs

5 for the private sector, hindering economic growth and

6 employment opportunities; and

7 (4) Congress should develop a mechanism to en8 sure that costs of mandates are considered during

9 agencies’ development of regulations and congres10 sional deliberations on legislation.

11 SEC. 36. CLOSING OF LOOPHOLES IN FOREIGN TAX PROVI12 SIONS.

13 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that—

14 (1) foreign-controlled corporations doing business

15 in the United States do not pay their fair share of

16 taxes;

17 (2) up to 72 percent of foreign-controlled cor18 porations doing business in the United States pay no

19 Federal income tax;

20 (3) the Internal Revenue Service has limited its

21 own ability to enforce Federal tax laws against for22 eign-controlled corporations, to the detriment of do23 mestic taxpayers;
78

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (4) the Internal Revenue Service has been using

2 antiquated accounting concepts to deal with sophisti3 cated multinational corporations;

4 (5) billions of dollars of Federal revenues are lost

5 annually due to the inability of the Internal Revenue

6 Service to enforce the ‘‘arm’s length’’ transaction

7 rule—not even counting the costs of bureaucracy and

8 litigation; and

9 (6) the Federal income tax laws encourage do10 mestic taxpayers to relocate abroad by granting them

11 deferral of United States taxes on income earned

12 abroad.

13 (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen14 ate that deficit reduction should be achieved, in part, by

15 ending loopholes and enforcement breakdowns that now en16 able foreign-controlled corporations operating in the United

17 States to pay no taxes and that subsidize the flight of do18 mestic businesses and jobs out of the United States, includ19 ing—

20 (1) a more streamlined and efficient method of

21 enforcing Federal tax laws involving multinational

22 corporations, especially those based abroad, in par23 ticular, the use of a formula approach by the Treas24 ury Department where the ‘‘arm’s length’’ transaction

25 rule does not work; and

1 (2) a repeal of tax subsidies for domestic busi2 nesses that move jobs to tax havens abroad and then

3 ship their products back into the United States.

4 SEC. 37. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING TAX EXPENDI5 TURES.

6 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that—

7 (1) continuing budget deficits and the accumula8 tion of Federal debt have a detrimental impact on the

9 Nation’s long-term economic growth prospects;

10 (2) in the absence of further fiscal restraint, the

11 Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Fed12 eral deficit will increase to $365,000,000,000 by 2004

13 and the national debt held by the public will grow to

14 approximately $6,000,000,000,000;

15 (3) tax expenditures are growing significantly;

16 and

17 (4) in some instances, tax expenditures may

18 have the same effect as direct Federal spending and

19 should be subject to the same level of budgetary re20 view.

21 (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen22 ate that—

23 (1) the Congress should consider targets for the

24 growth in tax expenditures similar to the targets for

25 the growth of mandatory spending;
80

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (2) such targets should be specified in any rec2 onciliation instructions included in a budget resolu3 tion; and

4 (3) such targets should be enforceable separately

5 from any revenue targets included in the reconcili6 ation instructions.

7 SEC. 38. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING HEALTH

8 SERVICE DELIVERY AND WATER INFRASTRUC9 TURE IN THE INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE.

10 It is the sense of the Congress that—

11 (1) sufficient funding should be provided to the

12 Indian Health Service to ensure that Indian Health

13 Service hospitals and outpatient facilities in existence

14 on the date of enactment of this resolution, and In15 dian Health Service hospitals and outpatient facili16 ties scheduled to open during fiscal years 1994, 1995,

19 health and medical needs of the American Indians

20 and Alaska Natives who depend on the Indian Health

21 Service for health care; and

22 (2) sufficient funding should be provided to the

1 dian lands through timely and proper water infra2 structure construction and upgrades.

3 SEC. 39. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE NA4 TIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINIS5 TRATION.

6 It is the sense of the Senate that the budget authority

7 and outlay figures for function 250 in this resolution do

8 not assume any amounts for the National Aeronautics and

9 Space Administration for any fiscal year from 1995

10 through 1999 in excess of the amounts proposed by the

11 President for such fiscal year.

12 SEC. 40. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING A BALANCED

13 BUDGET AND THE SPENDING REDUCTION

14 COMMISSION.

15 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

16 (1) The Congressional Budget Office has affirmed

17 that reductions in outlays of $34,000,000,000 per

18 year below their current baseline will result in a bal19 anced budget by the year 2000.

20 (2) The Spending Reduction Commission de21 scribed in S. 1191 is a proven mechanism which will

23 required to achieve a balanced budget.

24 (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen25 ate that Federal outlays should be reduced to reflect the
82

1 aforementioned reductions from the Congressional Budget

2 Office Baseline and that a Spending Reduction Commission

3 should be created to propose annual spending cuts sufficient

4 to reach the yearly spending reduction targets.

5 SEC. 41. MINIMUM ALLOCATION PROGRAM.

6 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

7 (1) the minimum allocation program was estab8 lished in 1982 to address inequities in the funding

9 formula for Federal-aid highways;

10 (2) the minimum allocation program was de11 signed to provide the greatest degree of flexibility

12 practicable to States that receive funding under the

13 formula referred to in paragraph (1) and includes an

14 exemption of the apportionments from the obligation

15 ceiling;

16 (3) the minimum allocation program provides

17 additional flexibility by allowing a State a 4-year pe18 riod during which amounts apportioned to the State

19 may be obligated;

20 (4) the budget of the United States Government

21 for fiscal year 1995 submitted by the President to

22 Congress proposes to include minimum allocation ap23 portionments under the obligation ceiling and also

24 proposes to limit the authority of States to obligate

25 apportionments under the minimum allocation pro-
83

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 gram to 67 percent of the amount of the apportion2 ments; and

3 (5) States have planned transportation programs

4 on the basis of the provisions of the Intermodal Sur5 face Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, and the

6 amendments made by the Act, relating to minimum

7 allocation that confirmed core commitments to exemp8 tion and flexibility.

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

10 Congress that—

11 (1) the minimum allocation program should re12 main exempt from the obligation ceiling; and

13 (2) the flexibility of the minimum allocation pro14 gram should be an enduring and critical component

15 of the provision of Federal assistance to States for

16 Federal-aid highways.

17 (c) DEFINITIONS.—As used in this section:

18 (1) FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAYS.—The term ‘‘Fed19 eral-aid highways’’ has the meaning provided the

20 term in section 101 of title 23, United States Code.

21 (2) MINIMUM ALLOCATION PROGRAM.—The term

22 ‘‘minimum allocation program’’ means the program

23 of allocation of funding to States under section 157

24 of title 23, United States Code.
84

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (3) OBLIGATION CEILING.—The term ‘‘obligation

2 ceiling’’ means the obligation ceiling under section

3 1002 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Effi4 ciency Act of 1991.

5 SEC. 42. SENSE OF SENATE ON PAYMENT TO UNITED NA6 TIONS OF UNITED STATES ARREARAGES IN

7 CONTRIBUTIONS FOR PEACEKEEPING ACTIVI8 TIES.

9 (a) SENSE OF SENATE ON AUTHORITY AND OUT10 LAYS.—It is the sense of the Senate that budget authority

11 of $250,000,000 in fiscal year 1995 and outlays of

12 $170,000,000 in that fiscal year based upon funds accruing

13 under subsection (b) should be allocated to the committee

14 or committees of the Senate having jurisdiction over con15 tributions to the United Nations for peacekeeping activities

16 for the purposes of permitting the payment of arrearages

17 of the United States in commitments in fiscal year 1994

18 for such contributions.

19 (b) SENSE OF SENATE ON FUNDS.—It is the sense of

20 the Senate that funds should be available for the budget au21 thority of $250,000,000 and outlays of $170,000,000 re22 ferred to in subsection (a) as the result of—

23 (1) the reimposition by the United States of

24 charges on foreign governments (other than Israel and

25 Egypt) for the non-recurring costs of research, devel-
85

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 opment, and production of major defense equipment

2 licensed for commercial export to such governments;

3 and

4 (2) the recoupment by the United States from

5 such governments of administrative costs relating to

6 foreign military sales; and

7 (3) the elimination of all financing assistance for

8 such sales (other than sales to Israel and Egypt) by

9 the United States.

10 SEC. 43. POLICY IN EASTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPE.

11 It is the sense of the Senate that the assumptions un12 derlying the levels of spending set forth in this resolution

13 regarding the national defense (050) and international af14 fairs (150) budget categories include an assumption that

15 the United States will oppose through appropriate means

16 attempts by the Russian Federation to intimidate, use mili17 tary force or engage in economic coercion to establish a

18 sphere of influence over the former republics of the Soviet

19 Union, the Baltics, or Central and Eastern European na20 tions, consistent with provisions contained in the Freedom

21 Support Act and the Foreign Assistance Appropriations Act

22 of 1994.

23 SEC. 44. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING FEDERAL

24 COURTHOUSE CONSTRUCTION.

25 It is the sense of the Senate that—
86

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (1) the President’s fiscal year 1995 budget in2 cludes a request for 11 courthouses with a total esti3 mated cost of over $1,000,000,000;

4 (2) while there may be significant need for new

5 Federal courthouses, the need for programs that pre6 vent youth violence before children get to courthouses

7 is greater;

8 (3) there should be a moratorium for fiscal year

9 1995 on the construction of any new Federal court10 houses which have not already been specifically ap11 proved by Congress; and

12 (4) priority should be given to programs for chil13 dren and families like Head Start and grants for ma14 ternal and infant health care.

15 SEC. 45. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING FEDERAL

16 LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL.

17 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

18 (1) violent crimes reported to law enforcement

19 continue to increase with over 1,900,000 offenses

20 being reported to law enforcement each year;

21 (2) drug dealing and the violent crime that ac22 companies it are at the heart of the Nation’s current

23 crime crisis;
87

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (3) the problem of international drug trafficking

2 is increasing and foreign narcotics syndicates con3 tinue to make the United States their primary target;

4 (4) drug abuse among our Nation’s young peo5 ple, after years of decline, has recently increased;

6 (5) interstate criminal street gangs, which deal

7 in illicit narcotics and which are responsible for so

8 much violent crime, are spreading into cities through9 out the Nation;

10 (6) the Senate has passed a comprehensive anti11 crime bill which increases authorizations for Federal

12 and State law enforcement, increases penalties for

13 violent crime, and enhances Federal law enforcement’s

14 role in combating violent street crime;

15 (7) the President’s proposed budget for fiscal

16 year 1995 cuts the number of Drug Enforcement Ad17 ministration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Orga18 nized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, and

19 United States Attorney personnel;

20 (8) absent the President’s proposed budget cuts to

21 Federal law enforcement for fiscal year 1995, there

22 are still 431 fewer FBI agents and 301 fewer DEA

23 agents today than there were in 1992 and, according

24 to the President’s budget, there will not be a new FBI

25 or DEA class until fiscal year 1996;
88

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (9) an adequate Federal law enforcement and

2 Federal prosecutor presence is critical to our Nation’s

3 effort to respond to the crime and drug problem; and

4 (10) President Clinton and Attorney General

5 Reno have publicly stated their support for enhanced

6 efforts to fight violent crime and drug trafficking.

7 (b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con8 gress that—

9 (1) current levels of agent strength within the

10 DEA and FBI and the current number of assistant

11 United States Attorneys are inadequate to meet the

12 Federal Government’s obligations to our Nation’s law

13 abiding citizens; and

14 (2) at a minimum, the agent strength for the

15 FBI and DEA should be restored to end-of-fiscal year

16 1992 levels, and the number of Assistant United

17 States Attorneys should not be reduced.

18 SEC. 46. SENSE OF SENATE THAT TAXES NOT BE IN19 CREASED BECAUSE TAXPAYERS ARE MAR20 RIED.

21 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that—

22 (1) successful stable marriages are an essential

23 part of a successful stable society;
89

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (2) the breakdown of marriages has been one of

2 the causes of our unacceptable crime, illiteracy, school

3 dropout, drug abuse, and illegitimacy rates;

4 (3) the Federal Government has a moral and

5 ethical obligation to help promote stable marriages or

6 at least to not undermine them financially;

7 (4) the Internal Revenue Code currently contains

8 a number of provisions that financially penalize cou9 ples for becoming or remaining married (so called

10 ‘‘marriage penalties’’);

11 (5) marriage penalties are in effect an annual

12 Federal tax on marriage licenses;

13 (6) the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of

14 1993 added new marriage penalties to the Internal

15 Revenue Code and expanded some existing marriage

16 penalties;

17 (7) marriage penalties financially discriminate

18 against the most fundamental and important unit in

19 our society—the family—and are especially harmful

20 to our Nation’s children; and

21 (8) there is no policy justification for the Federal

22 Government to financially penalize couples simply be23 cause they choose to become or remain legally mar24 ried.
90

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen2 ate that no taxpayer, regardless of age, sex, income, or num3 ber of dependents, should be required to pay more in Fed4 eral taxes under any provision of the Internal Revenue Code

5 because that taxpayer is legally married.

6 SEC. 47. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING CERTAIN DE7 PARTMENT OF ENERGY REDUCTIONS-IN8 FORCE.

9 It is the sense of the Senate that—

10 (1) a reduction-in-force at the Department of

11 Energy’s Kansas City Plant should not be carried out

12 until—

13 (A) the National Defense Authorization Act

14 for fiscal year 1995 and the Energy and Water

15 Development Appropriations Act for fiscal year

16 1995 become law; or

17 (B) Congress has otherwise approved such

18 an action.

19 SEC. 48. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING MINERALS

20 MANAGEMENT.

21 It is the sense of the Congress that the budget authority

22 and outlay totals set forth in this resolution assume suffi23 cient funding under budget function 300 (Natural Re24 sources and Environment) to ensure—
91

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (1) the ability of the Minerals Management Serv2 ice to run an effective Outer Continental Shelf re3 source evaluation program that responds to increased

4 interest on OCS areas, including Alaska;

5 (2) the ability of the United States Geological

6 Survey to continue to perform mineral resource sur7 veys at the same levels as in previous years; and

8 (3) the continued effective functioning of all cur9 rent Bureau of Mines offices.

10 SEC. 49. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING DIESEL FUEL DYE11 ING REGULATIONS.

12 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that changes made

13 to the collection point of the diesel fuel excise tax made as

14 part of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993 and the

15 Internal Revenue Service regulations implementing such

16 changes have caused economic hardship, created market dis17 tortions, and added burdens to users and suppliers of diesel

18 fuel by—

19 (1) requiring businesses, primarily small entre20 preneurs, to invest thousands of dollars in equipment,

21 or choose between taxable and nontaxable users of die22 sel fuel, in order to comply with the new rules;

23 (2) imposing cumbersome notification require24 ments for marketers and distributors of diesel fuel

25 and home heating oil; and
92

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 (3) creating shortages of fuel due to storage tank

2 limitations.

3 (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen4 ate that—

5 (1) the Internal Revenue Service should make

6 every effort to ensure its regulations implementing the

7 changes to the collection point for the diesel fuel excise

8 tax will minimize the economic hardship, market dis9 tortions, unnecessary burdens, and supply shortages;

10 (2) such regulations should, to the extent pos11 sible, be consistent with Environmental Protection

12 Agency regulations implementing the diesel desulfur13 ization program; and

14 (3) if the Internal Revenue Service lacks the au15 thority to issue revised regulations consistent with

16 this resolution, then Congress should consider legisla17 tion that will eliminate these hardships, distortions,

18 burdens, and shortages.

19 SEC. 50. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING EQUITABLE

20 DISTRIBUTION OF REDUCTIONS IN DISCRE21 TIONARY SPENDING.

22 The Senate finds that since the President’s fiscal year

23 1995 defense budget request represents the tenth straight

24 year of real cuts in defense and if the President’s defense

25 budget request is approved, since 1985 real defense spending
93

H CON RES 218 EAS

1 will have been reduced by 45 percent by 1999; and Presi2 dent Clinton, during his State of the Union address on Jan3 uary 25, 1994, promised no further cuts in defense spend4 ing. Then it is the sense of the Senate that the annual levels

5 of the (050) function should be reduced from the President’s

6 fiscal year 1995–1999 budget request only after other an7 nual levels of non-defense discretionary spending in the

8 budget resolution have been reduced, fairly and appro9 priately.

10 SEC. 51. STAR WARS (BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE).

11 It is the sense of the Congress that given the Federal

12 budget deficit, the real reductions in discretionary spending

13 in this resolution, and the existence of many more worthy

14 programs competing for this funding, spending for the Star

15 Wars (Ballistic Missile Defense) must not exceed the fiscal

16 year 1994 appropriated level.

17 SEC. 52. CONTROL GROWTH OF ENTITLEMENT OR MANDA18 TORY SPENDING.

19 It is the sense of the Senate that legislation should be

20 enacted providing enforceable limits to control the growth

21 of entitlement or mandatory spending.

4 TREATMENT AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS.

5 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

6 (1) in 1991 over 11,000 hectares of opium pro7 duction were eradicated out of over 238,000 hectares

8 under opium cultivation;

9 (2) in 1992 over 22,000 hectares of opium pro10 duction were eradicated, but the amount of hectares

11 under opium cultivation grew to over 255,000 hec12 tares;

13 (3) in the face of a successful opium eradication

14 program in 1992, the amount of land under active

15 opium cultivation grew by 6,700 hectares;

16 (4) in 1991 over 6,500 hectares of coca leaf pro17 duction were eradicated out of over 212,700 hectares

18 under cultivation;

19 (5) in 1992 fewer than 5,300 hectares of coca leaf

22 217,000;

23 (6) the amount of land under active coca leaf

6 (8) the Drug Enforcement Administration has

7 reported that the price of cocaine available in the

8 United States has remained stable or declined since

9 1990, again demonstrating that adequate supplies of

10 cocaine are being produced and smuggled into the

11 United States;

12 (9) many observers of national drug policy have

13 come to conclude that the efforts of the United States

14 to reduce the supply of drugs through international

15 law enforcement and training, economic development,

16 and crop substitution programs in foreign nations

17 cannot succeed in reducing the supply of drugs avail18 able in the United States;

19 (10) recent studies demonstrate that drug treat20 ment and prevention programs have achieved notable

21 success in reducing drug use and associated criminal22 ity, including the commission of violent crime by

25 drug treatment falls far short of being able to provide

8 (1) in setting forth the budget authority and out9 lay amounts in this resolution, Congress should take

14 and the Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs of the De15 partment of State, and the Drug Enforcement Admin16 istration; and

17 (2) the budget authority and outlay amounts in

18 this resolution should be reallocated from inter19 national anti-drug programs to support successful

20 drug treatment and prevention programs that will

21 curb the demand for illegal drugs; and

22 (3) one-half of the budget authority and outlay
