SEC. 4. RECONCILIATION.
Not later than September 30, 1999, the House Com-
mittee on Ways and Means shall report to the House a
reconciliation bill that consists of changes in laws within
its jurisdiction such that the total level of revenues is not
less than: $1,408,500,000,000 in revenues for fiscal year
•HCON 68 RH
2000, $7,416,800,000,000 in revenues for fiscal years
2000 through 2004, and $16,155,700,000,000 in revenues
for fiscal years 2000 through 2009.
SEC. 5. SAFE DEPOSIT BOX FOR SOCIAL SECURITY SUR-
PLUSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) under the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990,
the social security trust funds are off-budget for
purposes of the President’s budget submission and
the concurrent resolution on the budget;
(2) the social security trust funds have been
running surpluses for 17 years;
(3) these surpluses have been used to implicitly
finance the general operations of the Federal govern-
ment;
(4) in fiscal year 2000, the social security sur-
plus will exceed $137 billion;
(5) for the first time, a concurrent resolution on
the budget balances the Federal budget without
counting social security surpluses; and
(6) the only way to ensure that social security
surpluses are not diverted for other purposes is to
balance the budget exclusive of such surpluses.
(b) POINT OF ORDER.—(1) It shall not be in order
in the House of Representatives or the Senate to consider
•HCON 68 RH
any concurrent resolution on the budget, or any amend-
ment thereto or conference report thereon, that sets forth
a deficit for any fiscal year. For purposes of this sub-
section, a deficit shall be the level (if any) set forth in
the most recently agreed to concurrent resolution on the
budget for that fiscal year pursuant to section 301(a)(3)
of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. In setting forth
the deficit level pursuant to such section, that level shall
not include any adjustments in aggregates that would be
made pursuant to any reserve fund that provides for ad-
justments in allocations and aggregates for legislation that
enhances retirement security or extends the solvency of
the medicare trust funds or makes such changes in the
medicare payment or benefit structure as are necessary.
(2) Paragraph (1) may be waived in the Senate only
by the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members vot-
ing.
(c) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) legislation should be considered to augment
subsection (b) by establishing a statutory limit on
debt held by the public and reducing such limit by
the amounts of the social security surpluses; and
(2) beginning with fiscal year 2000, legislation
should be enacted to require any official statement
•HCON 68 RH
issued by the Office of Management and Budget, the
Congressional Budget Office, or any other agency or
instrumentality of the Government of surplus or def-
icit totals of the budget of the Government as sub-
mitted by the President or of the surplus or deficit
totals of the congressional budget, and any descrip-
tion of, or reference to, such totals in any official
publication or material issued by either of such of-
fices or any other such agency or instrumentality,
should exclude the outlays and receipts of the old-
age, survivors, and disability insurance program
under title II of the Social Security Act (including
the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust
Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust
Fund) and the related provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986.
SEC. 6. RESERVE FUND FOR RETIREMENT SECURITY AND,
AS NEEDED, MEDICARE.
(a) RETIREMENT SECURITY.—Whenever the Com-
mittee on Ways and Means of the House reports a bill,
or an amendment thereto is offered, or a conference report
thereon is submitted that enhances retirement security,
the chairman of the Committee on the Budget may—
(1) increase the appropriate allocations for each
of fiscal years 2000 through 2004 and aggregates
•HCON 68 RH
for each of fiscal years 2000 through 2009 of new
budget authority and outlays by the amount of new
budget authority provided by such measure (and
outlays flowing therefrom) for such fiscal year for
that purpose; and
(2) reduce the revenue aggregates for each of
fiscal years 2000 through 2009 by the amount of
the revenue loss resulting from that measure for
such fiscal year for that purpose.
(b) MEDICARE PROGRAM.—Whenever the Committee
on Ways and Means or the Committee on Commerce of
the House reports a bill, or an amendment thereto is of-
fered, or a conference report thereon is submitted that ex-
tends the solvency or reforms the benefit or payment
structure of the medicare program in response to the Na-
tional Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare,
the chairman of the Committee on the Budget may in-
crease the appropriate allocations and aggregates of new
budget authority and outlays by the amounts provided in
that bill for that purpose.
(c) LIMITATION.—(1) The chairman of the Com-
mittee on the Budget may only make adjustments under
subsection (a) or (b) if the net outlay increase plus rev-
enue reduction resulting from any measure referred to in
those subsections (including any prior adjustments made
•HCON 68 RH
for any other such measure) for fiscal year 2000, the pe-
riod of fiscal years 2000 through 2004, or the period of
fiscal years 2000 through 2009 is not greater than an
amount equal to the projected social security surplus for
such period, as set forth in the joint explanatory statement
of managers accompanying this concurrent resolution or,
if published, the midsession review for fiscal year 2000
of the Director of the Congressional Budget Office. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, revenue reductions
shall be treated as a positive number.
(2) In the midsession review for fiscal year 2000, the
Director of the Congressional Budget Office shall make
an up-to-date estimate of the projected surpluses in the
social security trust funds for fiscal year 2000, for the
period of fiscal years 2000 through 2004, and for the pe-
riod of fiscal years 2000 through 2009.
(3) As used in this subsection, the term ‘‘social secu-
rity trust funds’’ means the Federal Old-Age and Sur-
vivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Disability
Insurance Trust Fund.
SEC. 7. RESERVE FUND FOR PROGRAMS AUTHORIZED
UNDER THE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABIL-
ITIES EDUCATION ACT.
(a) IN GENERAL.—In the House, when the Com-
mittee on Appropriations reports a bill or joint resolution,
•HCON 68 RH
or an amendment thereto is offered, or a conference report
thereon is submitted that provides new budget authority
for fiscal year 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, or 2004 for pro-
grams authorized under the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA), the chairman of the Committee
on the Budget may increase the appropriate allocations
and aggregates of new budget authority and outlays by
an amount not to exceed the amount of new budget au-
thority provided by that measure (and outlays flowing
therefrom) for that purpose up to the maximum amount
consistent with section 611(a) of the Individuals with Dis-
abilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1411(a)(2)).
(b) ADJUSTMENTS.—The adjustments in outlays
(and the corresponding amount of new budget authority)
made under subsection (a) for any fiscal year may not ex-
ceed the amount by which an up-to-date projection of the
on-budget surplus made by the Director of the Congres-
sional Budget Office for that fiscal year exceeds the on-
budget surplus for that fiscal year set forth in section 2(4)
of this resolution.
(c) CBO PROJECTIONS.—Upon the request of the
chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the House,
the Director of the Congressional Budget Office shall
make an up-to-date estimate of the projected on-budget
surplus for the applicable fiscal year.
•HCON 68 RH
SEC. 8. APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ALLO-
CATIONS AND AGGREGATES.
(a) APPLICATION.—Any adjustments of allocations
and aggregates made pursuant to this resolution for any
measure shall—
(1) apply while that measure is under consider-
ation;
(2) take effect upon the enactment of that
measure; and
(3) be published in the Congressional Record as
soon as practicable.
(b) EFFECT OF CHANGED ALLOCATIONS AND AG-
GREGATES.—Revised allocations and aggregates resulting
from these adjustments shall be considered for the pur-
poses of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 as alloca-
tions and aggregates contained in this resolution.
SEC. 9. UPDATED CBO PROJECTIONS.
Each calendar quarter the Director of the Congres-
sional Budget Office shall make an up-to-date estimate of
receipts, outlays and surplus (on-budget and off-budget)
for the current fiscal year.
SEC. 10. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE COMMISSION ON
INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) persecution of individuals on the sole
ground of their religious beliefs and practices occurs
•HCON 68 RH
in countries around the world and affects millions of
lives;
(2) such persecution violates international
norms of human rights, including those established
in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,
the Helsinki Accords, and the Declaration on the
Elimination of all Forms of Intolerance and Dis-
crimination Based on Religion or Belief;
(3) such persecution is abhorrent to all Ameri-
cans, and our very Nation was founded on the prin-
ciple of the freedom to worship according to the dic-
tates of our conscience; and
(4) in 1998 Congress unanimously passed, and
President Clinton signed into law, the International
Religious Freedom Act of 1998, which established
the United States Commission on International Reli-
gious Freedom to monitor facts and circumstances
of violations of religious freedom and authorized
$3,000,000 to carry out the functions of the Com-
mission for each of fiscal years 1999 and 2000.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) this resolution assumes that $3,000,000 will
be appropriated within function 150 for fiscal year
