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

that—

(1) from time to time the United States Government should

sell assets; and

(2) the amounts realized from such asset sales will not

recur on an annual basis and do not reduce the demand for

credit.

(b) BUDGETARY TREATMENT.—For purposes of points of order

under this concurrent resolution and the Congressional Budget

and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the amounts realized from

sales of assets (other than loan assets) shall not be scored with

respect to the level of budget authority, outlays, or revenues. (c) DEFINITIONS.—For purposes of this section—

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

as under section 250(c)(21) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as amended by the Budget

Enforcement Act of 1990); and

(2) the term shall not include asset sales mandated by

law before September 18, 1987, and routine, ongoing asset

sales at levels consistent with agency operations in fiscal year

1986.

(d) SUNSET.—Subsections (a) through (c) of this section shall

expire September 30, 1998.

year (as reported and as amended), amendments thereto, or any

conference report thereon. (b) CONFORMING AMENDMENT.—Section 10(b) of House Concurrent Resolution 64 (103d Congress) and section 12(b) of House

Concurrent Resolution 287 (102d Congress) are repealed.

SEC. 23. ENFORCING PAY-AS-YOU-GO.

(a) PURPOSE.—The Senate declares that it is essential to—

House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same

extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.

TITLE III—SENSE OF CONGRESS

PROVISIONS

SEC. 31. CONTROLLING GROWTH OF ENTITLEMENT OR MANDATORY

SPENDING.

It is the sense of the Congress that legislation should be enacted

providing enforceable limits to control the growth of entitlement

or mandatory spending.

SEC. 32. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING ENACTMENT OF CERTAIN

BUDGET PROCESS LEGISLATION.

It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the following legislation should be enacted:

(1) Legislation providing enforceable limits to control the

growth of entitlement or mandatory spending.

(2) Amendments to the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990

to establish a regular procedure to provide assistance for disasters and other emergencies without adding to the deficit.

(3) Legislation granting the President expedited rescission

authority over appropriations measures, as provided by H.R.

1578, as passed the House.

SEC. 33. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON CONTROLLING NON-SOCIAL SECURITY MANDATORY SPENDING.

It is the sense of the Senate that the Congress should—
H. Con. Res. 218—25

(1) after enacting health care reform legislation, enact annual caps to control the growth of entitlement or mandatory

spending; (2) include within these caps all mandatory spending pro- grams except Social Security, deposit insurance, and net

interest;

(3) provide that these caps shall be set so that programs providing benefits to individuals may grow for inflation, changes

in the numbers of beneficiaries, and an additional growth allowance;

(4) provide that these caps shall be adjusted annually in the President’s budget for changes in inflation and the number

of beneficiaries since Congress enacted the caps (excluding any

changes due to legislation); (5) provide an enforcement mechanism in the event that

total mandatory spending exceeds the caps; and (6) enact caps on tax expenditures similar to those for

mandatory spending so as to ensure that reductions in Federal

spending for mandatory programs are not achieved by shifting

spending to tax expenditures.

SEC. 34. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE BUDGETARY

ACCOUNTING OF HEALTH CARE REFORM.

It is the sense of the Congress that— (1) the Congress should measure the costs and benefits of all health care reform legislation against a uniform set

of economic and technical assumptions; (2) before enacting major changes in the health care system, the Congress should have available to it reliable estimates

of the costs of competing plans prepared in a comparable manner; and

(3) the Congress should account for all financial trans- actions associated with Federal health care reform legislation.

SEC. 35. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON THE COSTS OF ILLEGAL

IMMIGRATION.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— (1) the Federal Government is solely responsible for setting and enforcing national immigration policy; (2) the Federal Government has not adequately enforced immigration laws; (3) this weak enforcement has imposed financial costs on

State and local governments; (4) the Federal Government has failed to investigate and prosecute Federal wage and hour violations, thus creating

incentives to hire persons illegally in the United States and

exacerbating the problem of illegal immigration; (5) States must incur costs for incarcerating undocumented persons convicted of State and local crimes, educating undocumented children, providing emergency medical services to

undocumented persons, and providing services incidental to

admission of refugees under the Refugee Admissions and

Resettlement Program; and (6) the Federal Government has an obligation to reimburse

State and local governments for costs resulting from the costs

described in this subsection.

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

in setting forth the budget authority and outlay amounts in this
H. Con. Res. 218—26

resolution, the Congress intends that funding should be provided

to reimburse State and local governments for the costs associated

with—

(1) elementary and secondary education for undocumented

children;

(2) emergency medical assistance to undocumented persons;

(3) incarceration and parole of criminal aliens; and

(4) services incidental to admission of refugees under the

Refugee Admissions and Resettlement Program.

SEC. 36. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING BASELINES.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

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

revenues and spending if policies remain unchanged;

(2) baseline budgeting has given rise to the practice of

calculating policy changes from an inflated spending level; and

(3) the baseline concept has been misused to portray policies that would simply slow down the increase in spending

as spending reductions.

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

(1) the President should submit a budget that compares

proposed spending levels for the budget year with the current

year; and

(2) the starting point for deliberations on a budget resolution should be the current year.

SEC. 37. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING UNFUNDED FEDERAL

MANDATES.

It is the sense of the Congress that— (1) the Federal Government should not shift the costs of

administering Federal programs to State and local governments;

(2) the Federal Government’s share of entitlement programs should not be capped or otherwise decreased without

providing States authority to amend their financial or programmatic responsibilities to continue meeting the mandated

service; and

(3) Congress should develop a mechanism to ensure that

costs of mandates are considered during agencies’ development

of regulations and congressional deliberations on legislation.

SEC. 38. CLOSING OF LOOPHOLES IN FOREIGN TAX PROVISIONS.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that—

(1) there is evidence suggesting that foreign-controlled corporations doing business in the United States do not pay their

fair share of taxes;

(2) over 70 percent of foreign-controlled corporations doing

business in the United States pay no Federal income tax;

(3) the United States Department of the Treasury has

limited its ability to protect the revenue base in the case

of cross-border transactions, to the detriment of taxpayers

engaged solely in domestic transactions;

(4) the Department of the Treasury has been using antiquated accounting concepts to deal with sophisticated multinational corporations;

(5) substantial Federal revenues are lost annually due to

the inability of the Internal Revenue Service to enforce the
H. Con. Res. 218—27

‘‘arm’s length’’ transaction rule, along with substantial amounts

spent on administration and litigation; and

(6) the Federal income tax laws provide a financial incentive for domestic taxpayers to operate abroad by granting them

deferral of United States taxes on income earned abroad.

(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate that

deficit reduction should be achieved, in part, by ending loopholes

and enforcement breakdowns that now foster the underpayment

of taxes on income from cross-border transactions and that subsidize

the flight of domestic businesses and jobs out of the United States,

by means including—

(1) the adoption of a more streamlined and efficient method

of enforcing Federal tax laws involving multinational corporations, especially those based abroad, and in particular, the

use by the Treasury Department of a formulaic approach in

cases in which the current ‘‘arm’s length’’ transaction rules

do not work; and

(2) a repeal of tax subsidies for domestic businesses that

operate abroad in tax havens and then ship their products

back into the United States.

SEC. 39. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING TAX EXPENDITURES.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that tax expenditures—

(1) are growing significantly;

(2) may have the same effect as direct Federal spending;

and

(3) should be subject to the same level of budgetary review

as direct spending.

(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate that—

(1) the Congress should consider targets for the growth

in tax expenditures similar to the targets for the growth of

mandatory spending;

(2) any reconciliation instructions included in a budget

resolution should specify these targets; and

(3) such targets should be enforceable separately from any

revenue targets included in the reconciliation instructions.

SEC. 40. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING HEALTH SERVICE

DELIVERY AND WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE INDIAN

HEALTH SERVICE.

It is the sense of the Congress that—

(1) sufficient funding should be provided to the Indian

Health Service to ensure that Indian Health Service hospitals

and outpatient facilities in existence on the date of enactment

of this resolution, and Indian Health Service hospitals and

outpatient facilities scheduled to open during fiscal years 1994,

1995, and 1996, are fully staffed with the appropriate number

of health care professionals needed to meet the health and

medical needs of the American Indians and Alaska Natives

who depend on the Indian Health Service for health care;

and

(2) sufficient funding should be provided to the Indian

Health Service to ensure that the Indian Health Service is

capable of meeting basic public health and safety and sanitation

requirements on Indian lands through timely and proper water

infrastructure construction and upgrades.
H. Con. Res. 218—28

SEC. 41. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION.

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

outlay figures for function 250 in this resolution do not assume

any amounts for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for any fiscal year from 1995 through 1999 in excess of the

amounts proposed by the President for such fiscal year.

SEC. 42. MINIMUM ALLOCATION PROGRAM.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that—

(1) the minimum allocation program was established in

1982 to address inequities in the funding formula for Federalaid highways;

(2) the minimum allocation program was designed to provide the greatest degree of flexibility practicable to States that

receive funding under the formula referred to in paragraph

(1) and includes an exemption of the apportionments from

the obligation ceiling;

(3) the minimum allocation program provides additional

flexibility by allowing a State a 4-year period during which

amounts apportioned to the State may be obligated;

(4) the budget of the United States Government for fiscal

year 1995 submitted by the President to Congress proposes

to include minimum allocation apportionments under the

obligation ceiling and also proposes to limit the authority of

States to obligate apportionments under the minimum allocation program to 67 percent of the amount of the apportionments;

and

(5) States have planned transportation programs on the

basis of the provisions of the Intermodal Surface Transportation

Efficiency Act of 1991, and the amendments made by the Act,

relating to minimum allocation that confirmed core commitments to exemption and flexibility.

(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate that—

(1) the minimum allocation program should remain exempt

from the obligation ceiling; and

(2) the flexibility of the minimum allocation program should

be an enduring and critical component of the provision of Federal assistance to States for Federal-aid highways.

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

(1) FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAYS.—The term ‘‘Federal-aid highways’’ has the meaning provided the term in section 101 of

title 23, United States Code.

(2) MINIMUM ALLOCATION PROGRAM.—The term ‘‘minimum

allocation program’’ means the program of allocation of funding

to States under section 157 of title 23, United States Code.

(3) OBLIGATION CEILING.—The term ‘‘obligation ceiling’’

means the obligation ceiling under section 1002 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991.

SEC. 43. POLICY IN EASTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPE.

It is the sense of the Congress that levels of spending set

forth in this resolution regarding the International Affairs (150)

budget category include an assumption that the United States

will oppose, consistent with provisions contained in the Freedom

Support Act and the Foreign Assistance Appropriations Act of 1994,

attempts by the Russian Federation to intimidate, use military
H. Con. Res. 218—29

force or engage in economic coercion to establish a sphere of influence over the former republics of the Soviet Union, the Baltics,

or Central and Eastern European nations.

SEC. 44. STAR WARS (BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE).

It is the sense of the Senate that given the Federal budget

deficit, the real reductions in discretionary spending in this resolution, and the existence of many more worthy programs competing

for this funding, spending for the Star Wars (Ballistic Missile

Defense) must not exceed the fiscal year 1994 appropriated level.
