the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as adjusted in strict conformance 
with section 251 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control 
Act of 1985, shall be reduced by the amount in the Deficit Reduction 
Account set forth in each appropriation bill (or changed in the case of 
a rescission bill pursuant to section 1012 of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974), as calculated by the Director of the Office of Management 
and Budget. The adjusted discretionary spending limit for outlays for 
that fiscal year and each outyear as set forth in such section 
601(a)(2) shall be reduced as a result of the reduction of such budget 
authority, as calculated by the Director of the Office of Management 
and Budget based upon programmatic and other assumptions set forth in 
the joint explanatory statement of managers accompanying the conference 
report on that bill. Reductions (if any) shall occur on the day that 
each such appropriation bill is enacted into law. For purposes of the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 and the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, amounts in Deficit Reduction Accounts 
shall only be used to make the adjustments specified in this 
subsection.
    (b) Definition.--As used in this section, the term ``appropriation 
bill'' means any general or special appropriation bill, and any bill or 
joint resolution making supplemental, deficiency, or continuing 
appropriations.

              RESCISSION BILLS.

    (a) Deficit Reduction Accounts.--Title III of the Congressional

section:

  ``deficit reduction accounts in appropriation bills and rescission 
                                 bills

    ``Sec. 314. (a) Any appropriation bill or rescission bill that is 
being marked up by the Committee on Appropriations (or a subcommittee 
thereof) of either House shall contain a line item entitled `Deficit 
Reduction Account'.
    ``(b) Whenever the Committee on Appropriations of either House 
reports an appropriation bill, that bill shall contain a line item 
entitled `Deficit Reduction Account' comprised of the following:
            ``(1) Only in the case of any general appropriation bill 
        containing the appropriations for Treasury and Postal Service 
        (or resolution making continuing appropriations (if 
        applicable)), an amount equal to the amounts by which the 
        discretionary spending limit for new budget authority and 
        outlays set forth in the most recent OMB sequestration preview 
        report pursuant to section 601(a)(2) exceed the section 602(a) 
        allocation for the fiscal year covered by that bill.
            ``(2) Only in the case of any general appropriation bill 
        (or resolution making continuing appropriations (if 
        applicable)), an amount not to exceed the amount by which the 
        appropriate section 602(b) allocation of new budget authority 
        exceeds the amount of new budget authority provided by that 
        bill (as reported by that committee).
            ``(3) Only in the case of any bill making supplemental 
        appropriations following enactment of all general appropriation 
        bills for the same fiscal year, an amount not to exceed the 
        amount by which the section 602(a) allocation of new budget 
        authority exceeds the sum of all new budget authority provided 
        by appropriation bills enacted for that fiscal year plus that 
        supplemental appropriation bill (as reported by that 
        committee).
    ``(c)(1) Any amendment which is offered to reduce budget authority 
to an appropriation bill during its consideration by the Committee on 
Appropriations (or any subcommittee thereof) of either House of 
Congress or by either House may increase the amount placed in the 
Deficit Reduction Account by an amount which does not exceed the 
reduction in budget authority contained in the amendment. Any amendment 
to rescind budget authority during consideration of any bill by the 
Committee on Appropriations (or any subcommittee thereof) of either 
House of Congress or by either House may increase the amount placed in 
the Deficit Reduction Account by an amount which does not exceed the 
increase in the rescission contained in the amendment.
    ``(2) Whenever any amendment referred to in paragraph (1) is agreed 
to increasing the amount contained in the Deficit Reduction Account, 
then the line item entitled `Deficit Reduction Account' shall be 
increased by that amount.
    ``(3) Any amendment referred to in paragraph (1) shall identify the 
program, project, or account which is to be reduced in order to 
increase the Deficit Reduction Account by the amount set forth in that 
amendment.
    ``(d)(1) Any amendment pursuant to subsection (c)(1) shall be in 
order even if amending portions of the bill not yet read for amendment 
with respect to the Deficit Reduction Account and shall not be subject 
to a demand for a division of the question in the House of 
Representatives (or in the Committee of the Whole) or in the Senate. It 
shall be in order to further amend the amount placed in the Deficit 
Reduction Account after that amount has been changed by amendment. It 
shall not be in order to reduce the amount placed in the Deficit 
Reduction Account unless it is pursuant to a motion to strike any 
proposed rescission under section 1012(c)(1)(C) or section 
1012(c)(3)(B). It shall not be in order to offer an amendment 
increasing a Deficit Reduction Account unless the amendment increases 
rescissions or reduces appropriations by an equivalent amount.
    ``(2) During consideration of such an amendment to an appropriation 
bill in the House of Representatives, if the original motion offered by 
the floor manager proposed to place an amount in the Deficit Reduction 
Account that is less than the lower of the level in the House or Senate 
bill, then pending such original motion and before debate thereon, a 
motion to insist on disagreement to the amendment proposed by the 
Senate shall be preferential to any other motion to dispose of that 
amendment. Such a preferential motion shall be separately debatable for 
one hour equally divided between its opponents and the proponents of 
the original motion. The previous question shall be considered as 
ordered on such a preferential motion to its adoption without an 
intervening motion.
    ``(3) The committee report accompanying any appropriation bill or 
rescission bill in the House of Representatives or Senate and the joint 
statement of the managers accompanying the conference report on that 
bill shall set forth--
            ``(A) for any general appropriation bill, the amount of new 
        budget authority and outlays derived from the difference 
        between the section 602(b) allocations and the appropriation 
        bills;
            ``(B) for any appropriation bill (except a general 
        appropriation bill) but only if all 13 general appropriation 
        bills have been enacted for that fiscal year, the amount of new 
        budget authority and outlays to be derived from the difference 
        between the section 602(a) allocations and the sum of 
        appropriation bills for the current year and that bill; and
            ``(C) for any amendment described in subsection (c)(1) 
        changing the amount in a Deficit Reduction Account, the 
        program, project, or account assumptions;
for amounts in the Deficit Reduction Account.
    ``(e) As used in this section--
            ``(1) the term `appropriation bill' means any general or 
        special appropriation bill, and any bill or joint resolution 
        making supplemental, deficiency, or continuing appropriations; 
        and
            ``(2) the term `rescission bill' means any bill which 
        rescinds budget authority, including a bill referred to by 
        section 1012.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendment.--The table of contents set forth in 
section 1(b) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 
1974 is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 313 the 
following new item:

``Sec. 314. Deficit reduction accounts in appropriation bills and 
                            rescission bills.''.

again under this section.
    ``(b) Transmittal of Special Message.--
            ``(1) The President may transmit to Congress a special 
        message proposing to rescind amounts of budget authority or to 
        repeal any targeted tax benefit and include with that special 
        message a draft bill that, if enacted, would only rescind that 
        budget authority or repeal that targeted tax benefit. That bill 
        shall clearly identify the amount of budget authority that is 
        proposed to be rescinded for each program, project, or activity 
        to which that budget authority relates or the targeted tax 
        benefit proposed to be repealed, as the case may be. It shall 
        include a Deficit Reduction Account. The President may place in 
        the Deficit Reduction Account an amount not to exceed the total
