    (a) In General.--Part B of title X of the Congressional Budget and

redesignating sections 1013 through 1017 as sections 1014 through 1018,

section:

       ``expedited consideration of certain proposed rescissions

    ``Sec. 1013. (a) Proposed Rescission of Budget Authority.--In 
addition to the method of rescinding budget authority specified in 
section 1012, the President may propose, at the time and in the manner 
provided in subsection (b), the rescission of any budget authority 
provided in an appropriations Act. Funds made available for obligation 
under this procedure may not be proposed for rescission again under 
this section or section 1012.

        considered as broken only by an adjournment of the Congress 
        sine die, and the days on which either House is not in session

        shall be excluded in the computation of the periods of

        adjourns sine die before the expiration of 10 calendar days of 
        continuous session (or a special message is transmitted after 
        the last session of the Congress adjourns sine die), the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Tinnitus Research for Military 
Health Improvement Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Tinnitus, or the perception of sound where no external 
        source of such sound exists, is the most prevalent disabling 
        condition that affects members of the Armed Forces, most 
        notably those members who have been exposed to blast injuries 
        during combat, or other high noise level situations.
            (2) Tinnitus is the leading service-connected disability 
        for returning members of the Armed Forces and the prevalence of 
        tinnitus is continuing to increase at alarming rates.
            (3) An otologic, or ear, injury such as tinnitus has been 
        shown to decrease performance and situational awareness during 
        combat, seriously compromising the ability of a member of the 
        Armed Forces to hear and execute commands properly, thereby 
        jeopardizing not only the affected member but other members as 
        well.
            (4) While certain types of sensory impairment in combat or 
        other military activities may be readily apparent, otologic 
        injuries such as tinnitus may not be easily noticeable, which 
        necessitates the need for more rigorous screening for tinnitus 
        before and after deployment, and for additional research to 
        distinguish tinnitus from other forms of brain injury incurred 
        during combat.
            (5) Medical evidence to date suggests a demonstrated link 
        between tinnitus and post-traumatic stress disorder and 
        traumatic brain injury, such that improved understanding of 
        treatment of tinnitus may also directly advance research 
        efforts to address post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic 
        brain injury.
            (6) Improving the treatment and prevention of tinnitus will 
        benefit all members of the Armed Forces who are increasingly at 
        risk of injury from high-decibel equipment or explosive 
        devices.

SEC. 3. CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR THE STUDY OF TINNITUS.

    (a) Establishment.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall establish 
        one or more Centers of Excellence (in this section referred to 
        as a ``center'') for the study of tinnitus.
            (2) Location.--The Secretary shall establish a center at a 
        military installation in the United States where members of the 
        Armed Forces perform activities involving high rates of sound, 
        including artillery instruction and other basic combat training 
        related activities.
    (b) Responsibilities.--A center shall have the responsibilities as 
follows:
            (1) To study and enhance existing treatment modalities for
