SOLUTION: Taxpayer Debt Buy-Down Act - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow every individual with adjusted income tax liability to designate on their tax returns that a portion of such liability (not to exceed ten percent) be used to reduce the public debt. 
Establishes a Public Debt Reduction Trust Fund for the deposit of designated amounts.  Makes amounts in such Trust Fund available only to pay at maturity, or to redeem or buy before maturity, any obligation of the Federal Government included in the public debt.  Prohibits the reissuance of any obligation which is paid, redeemed, or bought with amounts from the Trust Fund. 
Amends the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act) to provide for the sequestration of amounts designated to the Trust Fund.  Specifies accounts exempt from such sequestration.  Includes aggregated amounts designated to the Trust Fund and amounts sequestered to reduce the public debt in sequestration preview and final reports.

        to be appropriate, the Office shall implement, within 12 months 
        after the date of the enactment of this Act, a demonstration 
        project to determine whether a separate system for Federal law 
        enforcement officers (as described in subsection (a)) would 
        result in improved Federal personnel management.
            (2) Applicable provisions.--Any demonstration project under 
        this subsection shall be conducted in accordance with the 
        provisions of chapter 47 of title 5, United States Code, except

        account for purposes of the numerical limitation under section 
        4703(d)(2) of such title.
            (3) Permanent changes.--Not later than 6 months before the 
        demonstration project's scheduled termination date, the Office 
        of Personnel Management shall submit to Congress--
                    (A) its evaluation of the system tested under the 
                demonstration project; and
                    (B) recommendations as to whether or not that 
                system (or any aspects of that system) should be 
                continued or extended to other Federal law enforcement 
                officers.
    (c) Federal Law Enforcement Officer Defined.--For purposes of this 
section, the term ``Federal law enforcement officer'' means a law 
enforcement officer as defined by section 8331 or 8401 of title 5, 
United States Code, and, subsection (b)(2) notwithstanding, includes 
any such officer serving in or under the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation.
