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

18 (1) More than 50 million Americans depend on 

19 Medicare for their health security. 

20 (2) The Medicare Trustees Report has repeat21 edly recommended that Medicare’s long-term finan22 cial challenges be addressed soon. Each year without 

23 reform, the financial condition of Medicare becomes 

24 more precarious and the threat to those in and near 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
60 

HCON 112 PCS 

1 retirement becomes more pronounced. According to 

2 the Congressional Budget Office— 

3 (A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund 

4 will be exhausted in 2022 and unable to pay 

5 scheduled benefits; and 

6 (B) Medicare spending is growing faster 

7 than the economy and Medicare outlays are 

8 currently rising at a rate of 6.3 percent per 

9 year, and under the Congressional Budget Of10 fice’s alternative fiscal scenario, direct spending 

11 on Medicare is projected to reach 7 percent of 

12 GDP by 2035 and 14 percent of GDP by 2085. 

13 (3) Failing to address this problem will leave 

14 millions of American seniors without adequate health 

15 security and younger generations burdened with 

16 enormous debt to pay for spending levels that cannot 

17 be sustained. 

18 (b) POLICY ON MEDICARE REFORM.—It is the policy 

19 of this resolution to protect those in and near retirement 

20 from any disruptions to their Medicare benefits and offer 

21 future beneficiaries the same health care options available 

22 to Members of Congress. 

23 (c) ASSUMPTIONS.—This resolution assumes reform 

24 of the Medicare program such that: 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
61 

HCON 112 PCS 

1 (1) Current Medicare benefits are preserved for 

2 those in and near retirement, without changes. 

3 (2) For future generations, when they reach eli4 gibility, Medicare is reformed to provide a premium 

5 support payment and a selection of guaranteed 

6 health coverage options from which recipients can 

7 choose a plan that best suits their needs. 

8 (3) Medicare will provide additional assistance 

9 for lower-income beneficiaries and those with greater 

10 health risks. 

11 (4) Medicare spending is put on a sustainable 

12 path and the Medicare program becomes solvent 

13 over the long-term. 

14 SEC. 602. POLICY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY. 

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

16 (1) More than 55 million retirees, individuals 

17 with disabilities, and survivors depend on Social Se18 curity. Since enactment, Social Security has served 

19 as a vital leg on the ‘‘three-legged stool’’ of retire20 ment security, which includes employer provided 

21 pensions as well as personal savings. 

22 (2) The Social Security Trustees report has re23 peatedly recommended that Social Security’s long24 term financial challenges be addressed soon. Each 

25 year without reform, the financial condition of Social 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
62 

HCON 112 PCS 

1 Security becomes more precarious and the threat to 

2 seniors and those receiving Social Security disability 

3 benefits becomes more pronounced: 

4 (A) In 2016, according to the Congres5 sional Budget Office, the Federal Disability In6 surance Trust Fund will be exhausted and will 

7 be unable to pay scheduled benefits. 

8 (B) In 2036, according to the Social Secu9 rity Trustees Report the combined Federal Old10 Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and 

11 Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund will 

12 be exhausted, and will be unable to pay sched13 uled benefits. 

14 (C) With the exhaustion of the trust funds 

15 in 2036, benefits will be cut 23 percent across 

16 the board, devastating those currently in or 

17 near retirement and those who rely on Social 

18 Security the most. 

19 (3) The current recession has exacerbated the 

20 crisis to Social Security. The Congressional Budget 

21 Office continues to project permanent cash deficits. 

22 (4) Lower-income Americans rely on Social Se23 curity for a larger proportion of their retirement in24 come. Therefore, reforms should take into considerVerDate Mar 15 2010 01:28 Apr 17, 2012 Jkt 019200 PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6201 E:\BILLS\HC112.PCS HC112

1 ation the need to protect lower-income Americans’ 

2 retirement security. 

3 (5) Americans deserve action by their elected 

4 officials on Social Security reform. It is critical that 

5 the Congress and the administration work together 

6 in a bipartisan fashion to address the looming insol7 vency of Social Security. In this spirit, this resolu8 tion creates a bipartisan opportunity to find solu9 tions by requiring policymakers to ensure that Social 

10 Security remains a critical part fo the safety net. 

11 (b) POLICY ON SOCIAL SECURITY.—It is the policy 

12 of this resolution that Congress should work on a bipar13 tisan basis to make Social Security permanently solvent. 

14 This resolution assumes reform of a current law trigger, 

15 such that— 

16 (1)(A) if in any year the Board of Trustees of 

17 the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust 

18 Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust 

19 Fund in its annual Trustees’ Report determines that 

20 the 75-year actuarial balance of the Social Security 

21 Trust Funds is in deficit, and the annual balance of 

22 the Social Security Trust Funds in the 75th year is 

23 in deficit, the Board of Trustees should, not later

5 President should be agreed upon by both Public 

6 Trustees of the Board of Trustees; 

7 (2)(A) not later than December 1 of the same 

8 calendar year in which the Board of Trustees sub9 mits its recommendations, the President shall 

10 promptly submit implementing legislation to both 

11 Houses of Congress, including recommendations nec12 essary to achieve a positive 75-year actuarial balance 

13 and a positive annual balance in the 75th year; and 

14 (B) the Majority Leader of the Senate and the 

15 Majority Leader of the House should introduce such 

16 legislation upon receipt; 

17 (3) within 60 days of the President submitting 

18 legislation, the committees of jurisdiction to which 

19 the legislation has been referred should report such 

20 legislation, which should be considered by the full 

21 House or Senate under expedited procedures; and

7 SEC. 603. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION 

8 THROUGH THE CANCELLATION OF UNOBLI9 GATED BALANCES. 

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

11 (1) According to the Office of Management and 

12 Budget, Federal agencies will hold $698 billion in 

13 unobligated balances at the close of fiscal year 2013. 

14 (2) These funds represent direct and discre15 tionary spending made available by Congress that 

16 remain available for expenditure beyond the fiscal 

17 year for which they are provided. 

18 (3) In some cases, agencies are granted funding 

19 and it remains available for obligation indefinitely. 

20 (4) The Congressional Budget and Impound21 ment Control Act of 1974 requires the Office of 

22 Management and Budget to make funds available to 

23 agencies for obligation and prohibits the Administra24 tion from withholding or cancelling unobligated 

25 funds unless approved by an act of Congress. 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
66 

HCON 112 PCS 

1 (5) Greater congressional oversight is required 

2 to review and identify potential savings from 

3 unneeded balances of funds. 

4 (b) POLICY ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE

5 CANCELLATION OF UNOBLIGATED BALANCES.—Congres6 sional committees shall through their oversight activities 

7 identify and achieve savings through the cancellation or 

8 rescission of unobligated balances that neither abrogate 

9 contractual obligations of the Federal Government nor re10 duce or disrupt Federal commitments under programs 

11 such as Social Security, veterans’ affairs, national secu12 rity, and Treasury authority to finance the national debt. 

13 (c) DEFICIT REDUCTION.—Congress, with the assist14 ance of the Government Accountability Office, the Inspec15 tors General, and other appropriate agencies should make 

16 it a high priority to review unobligated balances and iden17 tify savings for deficit reduction. 

18 SEC. 604. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF 

19 WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE IN FEDERAL PRO20 GRAMS. 

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

22 (1) The Government Accountability Office is re23 quired by law to identify examples of waste, duplica24 tion, and overlap in Federal programs, and has so 

25 identified dozens of such examples. 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
67 

HCON 112 PCS 

1 (2) In testimony before the Committee on Over2 sight and Government Reform, the Comptroller Gen3 eral has stated that addressing the identified waste, 

4 duplication, and overlap in Federal programs ‘‘could 

5 potentially save tens of billions of dollars’’. 

6 (3) The Rules of the House of Representatives 

7 require each standing committee to hold at least one 

8 hearing every four months on waste, fraud, abuse, or 

9 mismanagement in Government programs. 

10 (4) The findings resulting from congressional 

11 oversight of Federal Government programs should 

12 result in programmatic changes in both authorizing 

13 statutes and program funding levels. 

14 (b) POLICY ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE

15 REDUCTION OF UNNECESSARY AND WASTEFUL SPEND16 ING.—Each authorizing committee annually shall include 

17 in its Views and Estimates letter required under section 

18 301(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 rec19 ommendations to the Committee on the Budget of pro20 grams within the jurisdiction of such committee whose
