(c) SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON DEFICIT REDUCTION.— 
(1) FINDINGS.—The House finds that— 
(A) passage of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go 
Act of 2010, passage of legislation to reform the de-
fense acquisition system, and passage of health care 
reform legislation reducing the deficit represented 
valuable contributions to fiscal responsibility; 
(B) strengthening the economy and creating 
jobs are critical to reducing the long-term deficit; 
(C) fiscally responsible investments in edu-
cation, including the retention of high-quality teach-
ers in the classroom, help to lay the foundation for 
a stronger economy;
•HRES 1493 EH 
(D) the discretionary levels for 2011 included 
in this resolution represent a reduction below the 
President’s comparable budgetary request, and fur-
ther contribute to fiscal discipline; and 
(E) defending our country requires necessary 
investments and reforms to strengthen our mili-
tary—including providing sufficient resources to ag-
gressively pursue implementation of GAO rec-
ommendations to achieve efficiencies, and evalu-
ating defense plans to ensure weapons systems that 
were developed to counter Cold War-era threats are 
not redundant and applicable to 21st century 
threats. 
(2) SENSE
OF
THE
HOUSE
ON
DEFICIT
REDUC-
TION.—It is the sense of the House that— 
(A) by 2015 the Federal budget should be in 
primary balance—meaning that outlays in the Fed-
eral budget shall equal receipts during a fiscal year, 
not counting outlays for debt service payments; 
(B) the debt-to-GDP ratio should be stabilized 
at an acceptable level once the economy recovers; 
(C) not later than September 15, 2010, the 
chairs of committees should submit for printing in 
the Congressional Record findings that identify 
changes in law that help achieve deficit reduction by
•HRES 1493 EH 
reducing waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement, 
promoting efficiency and reform of government, and 
controlling spending within Government programs 
those committees may authorize; 
(D) prior to the adjournment of the 111th 
Congress, any recommendations made by the Na-
tional Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Re-
form and approved by the Senate should be brought 
to a vote in the House of Representatives; and 
(E) any deficit reduction achieved by the en-
actment of such legislation should be used for def-
icit reduction only and should not be available to 
offset the costs of future legislation. 
(d) RESERVE FUND FOR DEFICIT REDUCTION.—Upon 
enactment of legislation containing recommendations in the 
final report of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsi-
bility and Reform, established by Executive Order No. 13531 
on February 18, 2010, that decreases the deficit for either 
time period provided in clause 10 of rule XXI of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Com-
mittee on the Budget shall, for the purposes of the Statutory 
Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, exclude any net deficit reduction 
from his determination of the budgetary effects of such legis-
lation, to ensure that the deficit reduction achieved by that
•HRES 1493 EH 
legislation is used only for deficit reduction and is not avail-
able as an offset for any subsequent legislation. 
(e) HOUSE RULE XXVIII.—Nothing in this resolution 
shall be construed to engage rule XXVIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives. 
Attest: 
Clerk.
