General of the Office of Personnel Management has documented
numerous instances of the Government continuing to make

the chairman of the appropriate Committee on the Budget may
adjust the appropriate budget aggregates and increase the allocation
of new budget authority to such committee for fiscal year 2004
and for the period of fiscal years 2004 through 2008 to the extent
such excess is offset by a reduction in mandatory outlays from
the Highway Trust Fund or an increase in receipts appropriated
to such fund for the applicable fiscal year caused by such legislation
or any previously enacted legislation. In the Senate, any increase
in receipts must be reported from the Committee on Finance.
(b) ADJUSTMENT FOR OUTLAYS.—(1) For fiscal year 2004, in
the House and in the Senate, if a bill or joint resolution is reported,
or if an amendment thereto is offered or a conference report thereon

set forth in subsection (a) for such fiscal year, the appropriate
chairman of the Committee on the Budget may increase the alloca-
tion of outlays and appropriate aggregates for such fiscal year

for fiscal year 2005, for programs, projects, and activities within
the highway and transit categories as defined in sections
250(c)(4)(B) and (C) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit

exceed the amount of such excess that was offset pursuant to
subsection (a).

TITLE VI—SENSE OF THE SENATE
SEC. 601. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON FEDERAL EMPLOYEE PAY.

civilian employees of the United States should be adjusted at the
same time, and in the same proportion, as are rates of compensation
for members of the uniformed services.

It is the sense of the Senate that the levels in this resolution
assume that within the discretionary allocation provided to the
Committee on Appropriations the maximum Pell Grant award
should be raised to the maximum extent practicable.

ASSISTANCE FOR LIVESTOCK AND AGRICULTURE PRO-
DUCERS.
It is the sense of the Senate that the Senate develop a long-
term drought plan that effectively recognizes the recurring nature

activities.
H. Con. Res. 95—31
SEC. 604. SOCIAL SECURITY RESTRUCTURING.
It is the sense of the Senate that—
(1) the President, the Congress and the American people
(including seniors, workers, women, minorities, and disabled
persons) should work together at the earliest opportunity to
enact legislation to achieve a solvent and permanently sustain-
able Social Security system; and
(2) Social Security reform must—
(A) protect current and near retirees from any changes
to Social Security benefits;
(B) reduce the pressure on future taxpayers and on
other budgetary priorities;
(C) provide benefit levels that adequately reflect indi-
vidual contributions to the Social Security System; and
(D) preserve and strengthen the safety net for vulner-
able populations, including the disabled and survivors.
SEC. 605. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING STATE FISCAL RELIEF.
It is the Sense of the Senate that the functional totals in
this resolution assume that any legislation enacted to provide eco-
nomic growth for the United States should include not less than
$30,000,000,000 for State fiscal relief over the next 18 months
(of which at least half should be provided through a temporary
increase in the Federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP)).
SEC. 606. FEDERAL AGENCY REVIEW COMMISSION.
It is the sense of the Senate that a commission should be
established to review Federal domestic agencies, and programs
within such agencies, with the express purpose of providing Con-
gress with recommendations, and legislation to implement those
recommendations, to realign or eliminate government agencies and
programs that are duplicative, wasteful, inefficient, outdated, or
irrelevant, or have failed to accomplish their intended purpose.
SEC. 607. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING HIGHWAY SPENDING.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the following findings:
(1) Highway construction funding should increase over cur-
rent levels.
(2) The Senate Budget Committee-passed budget resolution
increases highway funding above the President’s request.
(3) All vehicles, whether they are operated by gasoline,
gasohol, or electricity, do damage to our highways.
(4) As set out in TEA–21, the direct relationship between
excise taxes and highway spending makes sense and should
be maintained.

as excise taxes and not through the General Fund of the
Treasury.

the Senate should only consider legislation that increases highway
spending if such legislation changes highway user fees to pay for
such increased spending.
SEC. 608. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON REPORTS ON LIABILITIES AND
FUTURE COSTS.
It is the sense of the Senate that the Congressional Budget
Office shall consult with the Committee on the Budget of the
Senate in order to prepare a report containing—

costs of Federal programs.

HEALTH CARE COVERAGE.

this resolution assume that—
(1) expanded access to health care coverage throughout
the United States is a top priority for national policymaking;
and
(2) to the extent that additional funds are made available,
a significant portion of such funds should be dedicated to
expanding access to health care coverage so that fewer individ-
uals are uninsured and fewer individuals are likely to become
uninsured.
SEC. 610. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING PROGRAMS OF THE
CORPS OF ENGINEERS.
It is the sense of the Senate that the Corps of Engineers
requires additional funding to perform its vital functions and the
budgetary totals in this resolution assume that the level of funding
provided for programs of the Corps will not be reduced below
current baseline spending levels.
SEC. 611. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING NATIVE AMERICAN
HEALTH.
It is the sense of the Senate that Congress has recognized
the importance of Native American health. In 1997, Congress
enacted a program to spend $30,000,000 a year on research and
treatment on diabetes in the Native American community. This
amount was increased to $100,000,000 a year in 2000 and further
increased to $150,000,000 a year in 2002. This is a 500 percent
increase since 1997. This priority focuses on prevention and treat-
ment for a major disease in the Native American community.
SEC. 612. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON PROVIDING TAX AND OTHER
INCENTIVES TO REVITALIZE RURAL AMERICA.
It is the sense of the Senate that if tax relief measures are
enacted in accordance with the assumptions in the budget resolution
in this session of Congress, such legislation should include incen-
tives to help rural communities attract individuals to live and
work and start and grow a business in those communities.
SEC. 613. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING CHILDREN’S GRAD-
UATE MEDICAL EDUCATION.
It is the sense of the Senate that, for fiscal year 2004, children’s
graduate medical education should be funded at $305,000,000.

resolution assume that the programs authorized under the Crime
Identification Technology Act of 1998 to improve the justice system
will be fully funded at the levels authorized for each of the fiscal
years 2004 through 2007.
