RESOLUTION
Expressing the desire of the House of Representatives to
not spend any of the budget surplus created by Social
Security receipts and to continue to retire the debt held
by the public.
Whereas, earlier this year, the House of Representatives
passed a Social Security lockbox designed to protect the
Social Security surplus by an overwhelming vote of 416
to 12;
Whereas bipartisan efforts over the past few years have elimi-
nated the budget deficit and created a projected com-
•HRES 306 ATH
bined Social Security and non-Social Security surplus of
$2,896,000,000,000 over the next 10 years;
Whereas this surplus is largely due to the collection of the
Social Security taxes and interest on already collected re-
ceipts in the trust fund;
Whereas the President and the Congress have not reached an
agreement to use any of the non-Social Security surplus
on providing tax relief; and
Whereas any unspent portion of the projected surplus will
have the effect of reducing the debt held by the public:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the the House of
Representatives that the House—
(1) should not consider legislation that would
spend any of the Social Security surplus; and
(2) should continue to pursue efforts to con-
tinue to reduce the $3,618,000,000,000 in debt held
