BOXER AMENDMENT NO. 1134 

Mrs. BOXER proposed an amendment

Concurrent Resolution 13, supra; as follows: 

On page 89, strike lines 1 through 17 and insert the following: 

SEC. 306. PROHIBITION OF LEGISLATION THAT 

WOULD INCLUDE A TAX CUT UNLESS 

90 PERCENT OF THE BENEFITS GO 

TO THE MIDDLE CLASS. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

(1) the incomes of middle-class families 

have stagnated since the early 1980’s, with 

family incomes growing more slowly between 1979 and 1989 than in any other business cycle since World War II; and 

(2) according to the Department of the 

Treasury, in 1996, approximately 90 percent 

of American families will have incomes less 

than $100,000. 

(b) POINT OF ORDER.—It shall not be in 

order in the Senate to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, motion, or conference 

report that contains a reduction in revenues 

unless at least 90 percent of the benefits of 

that reduction goes to working families with 

annual incomes less than $100,000. 

(c) APPEALS.—Appeals in the Senate from 

decisions of the Chair relating to this section 

shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between and controlled by, the appellant and the manager of the bill or resolution, as the case may be. An affirmative vote 

of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, 

duly chosen and sworn, shall be required in 

the Senate to sustain an appeal of the ruling 

of the Chair on a point of order raised under 

this section. 

(d) CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE REPORTS.—Whenever the Director of the Congressional Budget Office shall prepare a report pursuant to section 308 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 in connection with 

a bill, resolution, or conference report that 

contains a reduction in revenues, the Director shall so state in that report, and, to the 

extent practicable, shall include an estimate 

of the amount of the reduction in revenues 

and the percent of the benefits of that reduction in revenue that will go to working families with annual incomes less than $100,000. 

(e) ESTIMATES.—Solely for the purposes of 

enforcement of this section on the Senate 

floor, the percentage of benefits of a reduction in revenues going to working families 

with annual incomes less than $100,000 shall 

be determined on the basis of estimates 

made by the Congressional Budget Office. 

(f) SUNSET.—This section shall expire at 

the close of the 104th Congress.

them to the concurrent resolution Senate Concurrent Resolution 13, supra; as 

follows: 

On page 64, strike lines 17 through 19 and

Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, the Kerry 

amendment reduces the reconciliation 

mmaher on MIKETEMP with SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS

May 24, 1995 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD— SENATE S7393 

instructions to the Rules Committee 

by the amount attributable to repeal of 

the existing system of public financing 

and spending limits for Presidential 

campaigns, which the Rules Committee 

would be able to meet only by repealing that system. In order to offset the 

budget effect of reducing the instructions to the Rules Committee to save 

the amount of funding attributable to 

the Presidential public financing system, the amendment will leave a requirement for the same amount of savings in Function 800—general government—without specifying how the savings are to be achieved, but will lower 

the nondefense discretionary caps beginning in 1999 by the equivalent 

amount. This will have the effect of 

giving the responsibility to the Appropriations Committee beginning in that 

year to allocate the aggregate amount 

of approximately $250 million over the 

period covered by the budget resolution 

to administrative and overhead savings 

in various Federal agencies, leaving 

the judgment to the Appropriations 

Committee as to which agencies, for 

what Function 800 purposes, and in 

what amounts to allocate the spending 

reductions. 

This leaves the deficit reduction effects of the budget resolution unchanged. It means that this amendment is not subject to a point of order.

concurrent budget resolution states that 

‘‘this assumption would not reduce funding 

for the programmatic activities of agencies.’’

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

of the Senate that the Committees on Armed

Department of Transportation under subchapter II of chapter 417 of title 49, United 

States Code—

(A) provides essential airline access to isolated rural communities across the United

funding to continue to provide air service to 

small communities. 

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

of the Senate that the essential air service 

program of the Department of Transportation under subchapter II of chapter 417 of

sufficient level of funding to continue to provide air service to small rural communities 

that qualify for assistance under the program.

page 87 and insert the following: 

SEC. 305. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON A UNIFORM ACCOUNTING SYSTEM IN THE 

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND NONPARTISAN COMMISSION ON ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING. 

(A) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 

(1) Much effort has been devoted to 

strengthening Federal internal accounting 

controls in the past. Although progress has 

been made in recent years, there still exists 

no uniform Federal accounting system for 

Federal Government entities and institutions. 

(2) As a result, Federal financial management continues to be seriously deficient, and 

Federal financial management and fiscal 

practices have failed to identify costs, failed 

to reflect the total liabilities of congressional actions, and failed to accurately report the financial condition of the Federal 

Government. 

(3) Current Federal accounting practices do 

not adequately report financial problems of 

the Federal Government or the full cost of 

programs and activities. The continued use 

of these practices undermines the Government’s ability to provide credible and reliable financial data, contributes to waste and 

inefficiency, and will not assist in achieving 

a balanced budget. 

(4) Waste and inefficiency in Federal Government undermine the confidence of the 

American people in the Government and reduces the Federal Government’s ability to 

address adequately vital public needs. 

(5) To rebuild the accountability and credibility of the Federal Government and restore 

public confidence in the Federal Government, a uniform Federal accounting system, 

that fully meets the accounting standards 

and reporting objectives for the Federal Government, must be immediately established 

so that all assets and liabilities, revenues 

and expenditures or expenses, and the full 

cost of programs and activities of the Federal Government can be consistently and accurately recorded, monitored, and uniformly 

mmaher on MIKETEMP with SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS

May 24, 1995 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD— SENATE S7395 

reported throughout all government entities 

for budgeting and control and management 

evaluation purposes. 

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

of the Congress that the assumptions underlying the functional totals in this resolution 

include the following assumptions: 

(1) UNIFORM FEDERAL ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.—(A) A uniform Federal accounting system should be established to consistently 

compile financial data across the Federal 

Government, and to make full disclosure of 

Federal financial data, including the full 

cost of Federal programs and activities, to 

the citizens, the Congress, the President, and 

agency management. 

(B) Beginning with fiscal year 1997, the 

President should require the heads of agencies to—

(i) implement and maintain a uniform Federal accounting system; and 

(ii) provide financial statements; 

in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent 

basis and established in accordance with proposed Federal accounting standards and interpretations recommended by the Federal 

Accounting Standards Advisory Board and 

other applicable law. 

(2) NONPARTISAN ADVISORY COMMISSION ON

ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING.—(A) A temporary advisory commission should be established to make objective and nonpartisan 

recommendations for the appropriate treatment of capital expenditures under a uniform Federal accounting system that is consistent with generally accepted accounting 

principles. 

(B) The Commission should be appointed 

on a nonpartisan basis, and should be composed of public and private experts in the 

fields of finance, economics, accounting, and 

other related professions. 

(C) The Commission should report to the 

President and the Congress by August 1, 1995, 

on its recommendations, and should include 

in its report a detailed plan for implementing such recommendations.

NO. 1147 

Mr. DOMENICI (for Mr. DOLE for

supra; as follows: 

At the appropriate place insert the following new section: 

SEC. . CONSIDERATION OF THE INDEPENDENT 

BUDGET FOR VETERANS AFFAIRS, 

FISCAL YEAR 1996. 

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds as follows: 

(1) Whereas over 26,000,000 veterans are eligible for veterans health care; 

(2) Whereas the Veterans Heath Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs operates the largest Federal medical 

care delivery system in the United States, 

providing for the medical care needs of our 

Nation’s veterans’

(3) Whereas the veterans’ service organizations have provided a plan, known as the 

Independent Budget for Veterans Affairs, to 

reform the veterans’ health care delivery 

system to adapt it to the modern health care 

environment and improve its ability to meet 

the health the health care needs of veterans 

in a cost-effective manner; 

(4) Whereas current budget proposals assume a change in the definition of serviceconnected veterans; 

(5) Whereas proposals contained within the 

Independent Budget may provide improved 

service to veterans; 

(6) Whereas budget proposals may not have 

fully considered the measures proposed by 

the veterans’ service organizations in the 

Independent Budget. 

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the Sense of 

Congress: the reforms and proposals contained within the Independent Budget for 

Veterans Affairs, Fiscal Year 1996 should be 

given careful consideration in an effort to 

ensure the nation’s commitment to its veterans.

function in creating jobs, promoting national economic growth, and allowing American workers and businesses to have the resources to compete in an ever more competitive global economy. 

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

of the Senate that, in the assumptions for 

the overall accounts, it is assumed that—

(1) in allocating discretionary spending in 

fiscal years 1996 through 2002 within the discretionary spending limits established in 

section 201, the Committee on Appropriations will make it a high priority to maintain the overall fiscal year 1995 investment 

level (without adjustment for inflation) in 

research, technology and trade promotion, 

and trade law enforcement programs; and 

(2) the conferees on the concurrent budget 

resolution will not agree to any revenue reductions below current law unless the discretionary spending limit established in the 

conference report will permit the Committee 

on Appropriations to achieve the goal established in paragraph (1). 

MURRAY AMENDMENT NO. 1163 

Mr. EXON (for Mrs. MURRAY) proposed an amendment to the concurrent 

resolution, Senate Concurrent Resolution 13, supra; as follows: 

On page 79, between lines 3 and 4, insert 

the following: 

SEC. . PROHIBITION OF LEGISLATION THAT 

WOULD DEPRIVE CHILDREN OF 

THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE UNDER 

MEDICAID. 

(a) POINT OF ORDER.—It shall not be in 

order in the Senate to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, motion, or conference 

report that would cause children eligible to 

receive benefits under Medicaid (whether 

currently or in the future) to lose any of 

those benefits. 

(b) WAIVER.—This section may be waived 

or suspended in the Senate by a majority 

vote of the Members voting, a quorum being 

present, or by the unanimous consent of the 

Senate. 

(c) APPEALS.—Appeals in the Senate from 

the decisions of the Chair relating to this 

section shall be limited to 1 hour, to be 

equally divided between and controlled by, 

the appellant and the manager of the bill or 

resolution, as the case may be. An affirmative vote of a majority of the Members of the 

Senate, duly chosen and sworn, shall be required in the Senate to sustain an appeal of 

the ruling of the Chair on a point of order 

raised under this provision. 

(d) CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE REPORTS.—Whenever the Director of the Congressional Budget Office prepares a report 

pursuant to section 308 of the Congressional 

Budget Act of 1974 in connection with a bill, 

resolution, or conference report that the Director believes would cause children eligible 

to receive benefits under Medicaid (whether 

currently or in the future) to lose any of 

those benefits, the Director shall so state in 

that report and, to the extent practicable, 

shall include an estimate of the number of 

children eligible to receive benefits under 

Medicaid (whether currently or in the future) who would lose any of those benefits as 

a result of that legislation. 

(e) ESTIMATES.—Solely for the purposes of 

enforcement of this section in the Senate, 

the number of children eligible to receive 

benefits under Medicaid shall be determined 

on the basis of estimates made by the Committee on the Budget of the Senate. 

MURRAY (AND OTHERS) 

AMENDMENT NO. 1164 

Mr. EXON (for Mrs. MURRAY for herself, Mr. DASCHLE, Mr. PRESSLER, Mr. 

AKAKA, Mrs. HUTCHISON, Mr. LEVIN, Mr. 

BINGAMAN, Mr. PELL, Mr. DORGAN, Mr. 

BAUCUS, Mr. KERREY, Mr. EXON, Mrs. 

KASSEBAUM, and Mr. KEMPTHORNE) proposed an amendment to the concurrent 

resolution, Senate Concurrent Resolution 13, supra; as follows: 

At the end of title III, insert the following: 

SEC. . SENSE OF THE SENATE. 

(A) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds as follows: 

(1) In order to fulfill its responsibility to 

communities that were adversely affected by 

Federal activities, the Congress established 

the Impact Aid program in 1950. 

(2) The Impact Aid program is intended to 

ease the burden on local school districts for 

educating children who live on Federal property. Since Federal property is exempt from 

local property taxes, such districts are denied the primary source of revenue used to 

finance elementary and secondary education. 

Most Impact Aid payments are made for students whose parents are in the uniformed 

services, or for students who reside on Indian 

lands or in federally subsidized low-rent 

housing projects. Over 1,600 local educational 

agencies enrolling over 17,000,000 children are 

provided assistance under the Impact Aid 

program. 

(3) The Impact Aid program is one of the 

few Federal education programs where funds 

are sent directly to the school district. Such 

funds go directly into the general fund and 

may be used as the local educational agency 

decides. 

(4) The Impact Aid program covers less 

than half of what it costs to educate each 

federally connected student in some school 

districts, requiring local school districts or 

States to provide the remainder. 

(5) Added to the burden described in paragraph (4) is the fact that some States do not 

rely upon an income tax for State funding of 

education. In these cases, the loss of property tax revenue makes State and local education funding even more difficult to obtain. 

(6) Given the serious budget constraints 

facing State and local governments it is critical that the Federal Government continue 

to fulfill its responsibility to the federally 

impacted school districts in our Nation’s 

States. 

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

of the Senate that in the assumptions for the 

overall accounts it is assumed that—the Federal Government has a financial responsibility to schools in our Nation’s communities which are adversely affected by Federal activities and that funding for such responsibilities should not be reduced or eliminated. 

PELL AMENDMENT NO. 1165 

Mr. EXON (for Mr. PELL) proposed an 

amendment to the concurrent resolution, Senate Concurrent Resolution 13, 

supra; as follows: 

At the end of title III, insert the following: 

SEC. . STUDENT LOAN CUTS. 

(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that—

(1) in the 20th century, educational increases in the workforce accounted for 30 

percent of the growth in our Nation’s wealth, 

and advances in knowledge accounted for 55 

percent of such growth; 

(2) the Federal Government provides 75 

percent of all college financial aid; 

(3) the Federal student loan program was 

created to make college accessible and affordable for the middle class; 

(4) increased fees and interest costs discourage college participation by making 

higher education more expensive, and more 

of a risk, for students and their families; 

(5) full-time students already work an average of 25 hours per week, taking time away 

from their studies; and 

(6) student indebtedness is already increasing rapidly, and any reduction of the inschool interest subsidy will increase the indebtedness burden on students and families. 

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

of the Senate that the assumptions underlying the functional totals in this resolution 

assume the Labor and Human Resources 

Committee, in seeking to achieve mandatory 

savings, should not increase the cost of borrowing for students participating in the Robert T. Stafford Federal Student Loan Program.
