10 trust fund on surface transportation and highway safety

11 above the levels assumed in this resolution if such legisla12 tion is deficit neutral.

20 (2) A deficit-neutral bill must meet the following con21 ditions:

22 (A) The amount of new budget authority pro23 vided for programs authorized out of the highway

9 the amount of outlays flowing from excess new

10 budget authority under this section, it shall be as11 sumed that such excess new budget authority would

12 have an obligation limitation sufficient to accommo13 date that new budget authority.

14 (C) The outlays estimated to flow from the ex15 cess new budget authority must be offset by (i)

16 other direct spending or revenue provisions within

17 that transportation bill, (ii) the net reduction in

18 other direct spending and revenue legislation that is

19 enacted during this Congress after the date of adop20 tion of this resolution and before such transportation

21 TITLE III—SENSE OF THE HOUSE

22 OF REPRESENTATIVES

23 SEC. 301. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON BASELINES.

24 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that:
76

•HCON 86 IH

1 (1) Baselines are projections of future spending

2 if existing policies remain unchanged.

3 (2) Under baseline assumptions, spending auto4 matically rises with inflation even if such increases

5 are not mandated under existing law.

6 (3) Baseline budgeting is inherently biased

7 against policies that would reduce the projected

8 growth in spending because such policies are por9 trayed as spending reductions from an increasing

10 baseline.

11 (4) The baseline concept has encouraged Con12 gress to abdicate its constitutional obligation to con13 trol the public purse for those programs which are

14 automatically funded.

15 (b) SENSE OF HOUSE.—It is the sense of the House

16 that baseline budgeting should be replaced with a budg17 etary model that requires justification of aggregate fund18 ing levels and maximizes congressional and executive ac19 countability for Federal spending.

20 SEC. 302. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON REPAYMENT OF THE

21 FEDERAL DEBT.

22 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that:

23 (1) The Congress and the President have a

24 basic moral and ethical responsibility to future gen25 erations to repay the Federal debt, including the
77

•HCON 86 IH

1 money borrowed from the Social Security Trust

2 Fund.

3 (2) The Congress and the President should

4 enact a law which creates a regimen for paying off

5 the Federal debt within 30 years.

6 (b) SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING PRESIDENT’S

7 SUBMISSION TO CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the House

8 that:

9 (1) The President’s annual budget submission

10 to Congress should include a plan for repayment of

11 Federal debt beyond the year 2002, including the

12 money borrowed from the Social Security Trust

13 Fund.

14 (2) The plan should specifically explain how the

15 President would cap spending growth at a level one

16 percentage point lower than projected growth in rev17 enues.

18 (3) If spending growth were held to a level one

19 percentage point lower than projected growth in rev20 enues, then the Federal debt could be repaid within

21 30 years.

22 SEC. 303. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON COMMISSION ON LONG23 TERM BUDGETARY PROBLEMS.

24 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that—
78

•HCON 86 IH

1 (1) achieving a balanced budget by fiscal year

2 2002 is only the first step necessary to restore our

3 Nation’s economic prosperity;

4 (2) the imminent retirement of the baby-boom

5 generation will greatly increase the demand for gov6 ernment services;

7 (3) this burden will be borne by a relatively

8 smaller work force resulting in an unprecedented

9 intergenerational transfer of financial resources;

10 (4) the rising demand for retirement and medi11 cal benefits will quickly jeopardize the solvency of

12 the medicare, social security, and Federal retirement

13 trust funds; and

14 (5) the Congressional Budget Office has esti15 mated that marginal tax rates would have to in16 crease by 50 percent over the next 5 years to cover

17 the long-term projected costs of retirement and

18 health benefits.

19 (b) SENSE OF THE HOUSE.—It is the sense of the

20 House that legislation should be enacted to create a com21 mission to assess long-term budgetary problems, their im22 plications for both the baby-boom generation and tomor23 row’s workforce, and make such recommendations as it

24 deems appropriate to ensure our Nation’s future prosper25 ity.
79

•HCON 86 IH

1 SEC. 304. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON CORPORATE WELFARE.

2 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that the functional

3 levels and aggregates in this budget resolution assume

4 that—

5 (1) the Federal Government supports profit6 making enterprises and industries through billions of

7 dollars in payments, benefits, and programs;

8 (2) many of these subsidies do not serve a clear

9 and compelling public interest;

10 (3) corporate subsidies frequently provide un11 fair competitive advantages to certain industries and

12 industry segments; and

13 (4) at a time when millions of Americans are

14 being asked to sacrifice in order to balance the

15 budget, the corporate sector should bear its share of

16 the burden.

17 (b) SENSE OF THE HOUSE.—It is the sense of the

18 House that legislation should be enacted to—

19 (1) eliminate the most egregious corporate sub20 sidies; and

21 (2) create a commission to recommend the

22 elimination of Federal payments, benefits, and pro23 grams which predominantly benefit a particular in24 dustry or segment of an industry, rather than pro25 vide a clear and compelling public benefit, and in-
80

•HCON 86 IH

1 clude a fast-track process for the consideration of

2 those recommendations.

3 SEC. 305. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON FAMILY VIOLENCE OP4 TION CLARIFYING AMENDMENT.

5 (a) FINDINGS.—The House finds that:

6 (1) Domestic violence is the leading cause of

7 physical injury to women. The Department of Jus8 tice estimates that over 1,000,000 violent crimes

9 against women are committed by intimate partners

10 annually.

11 (2) Domestic violence dramatically affects the

12 victim’s ability to participate in the workforce. A

13 University of Minnesota survey reported that one

14 quarter of battered women surveyed had lost a job

15 partly because of being abused and that over half of

16 these women had been harassed by their abuser at

17 work.

18 (3) Domestic violence is often intensified as

19 women seek to gain economic independence through

20 attending school or training programs. Batterers

21 have been reported to prevent women from attending

22 these programs or sabotage their efforts at self-im23 provement.

24 (4) Nationwide surveys of service providers pre25 pared by the Taylor Institute of Chicago, Illinois,
81

•HCON 86 IH

1 document, for the first time, the interrelationship

2 between domestic violence and welfare by showing

3 that from 34 percent to 65 percent of AFDC recipi4 ents are current or past victims of domestic violence.

5 (5) Over half of the women surveyed stayed

6 with their batterers because they lacked the re7 sources to support themselves and their children.

8 The surveys also found that the availability of eco9 nomic support is a critical factor in poor women’s

10 ability to leave abusive situations that threaten them

11 and their children.

12 (6) The restructuring of the welfare programs

13 may impact the availability of the economic support

14 and the safety net necessary to enable poor women

15 to flee abuse without risking homelessness and star16 vation for their families.

17 (7) In recognition of this finding, the House

18 Committee on the Budget unanimously passed a

19 sense of Congress amendment on domestic violence

20 and Federal assistance to the fiscal year 1997 budg21 et resolution. Subsequently, Congress passed the

22 family violence option amendment to last year’s wel23 fare reform reconciliation bill.

24 (8) The family violence option gives States the

25 flexibility to grant temporary waivers from time lim-

1 its and work requirements for domestic violence vic2 tims who would suffer extreme hardship from the

3 application of these provisions. These waivers were

4 not intended to be included as part of the permanent

5 20 percent hardship exemption.

6 (9) The Department of Health and Human

7 Services has been slow to issue regulations regarding

8 this provision. As a result, States are hesitant to

9 fully implement the family violence option fearing it

10 will interfere with the 20 percent hardship exemp11 tion.

12 (10) Currently 15 States have opted to include

13 the family violence option in their welfare plans, and

14 13 other States have included some type of domestic

15 violence provisions in their plans.

16 (b) SENSE OF THE HOUSE.—It is the sense of the

17 House that—

18 (1) States should not be subject to any numeri19 cal limits in granting domestic violence good cause

20 waivers to individuals receiving assistance for all re21 quirements where compliance with such require22 ments would make it more difficult for individuals

23 receiving assistance to escape domestic violence; and

•HCON 86 IH

1 (2) any individuals granted a domestic violence

2 good cause waiver by States should not be included

3 in the States’ 20 percent hardship exemption.
