•HRES 14 IH 
Whereas a real solution to the Federal budget deficit must 
consist of the curtailment of unnecessary Federal pro-
grams, which are currently costing taxpayers billions of 
dollars; 
Whereas it is time to reduce the Federal budget deficit by 
demonstrating a strong commitment to reforming and 
eliminating inefficient and wasteful Government pro-
grams; 
Whereas to reduce the Federal budget deficit, Congress must 
do a better job of establishing priorities for Federal pro-
grams and spending; and 
Whereas to limit the growth of Government, Congress should 
only enact a new Federal program if Congress considers 
the program to be a higher priority than one or more 
current Federal programs of equal or greater cost: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That rule XXI of the Rules of the House 
of Representatives is amended by adding at the end the 
following new clause: 
‘‘Limitation on bills establishing new programs 
‘‘7. (a) It shall not be in order to consider a bill, joint 
resolution, amendment, or conference report containing a 
provision that establishes a new program, unless the bill, 
resolution, amendment, or conference report contains a 
provision that eliminates one or more existing programs 
of equal or greater total cost.

‘‘(b) In this clause, the term ‘provision that estab-

an existing program by adding a new function. 
‘‘(c) For purposes of this clause, the cost of a pro-
gram shall be the amount authorized to be appropriated 
for the program, or, if the amount authorized to be appro-

Whereas individuals voluntarily being smuggled are exposed 
to tragic and dangerous conditions, many times resulting 
in their injury or death; 
Whereas countless individuals are abducted and smuggled 
against their will continuing the grotesque practice of 
human slavery; 
Whereas human smuggling is often conducted by organized

Whereas United States Customs and Border Protection has,

them freed by the Federal Government without prosecu-
