			4007.Sense of the Senate on treatment of reduction of appropriations levels to achieve savings
 (a)FindingsCongress finds the following: (1)H. Con. Res. 448 (96th Congress), the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1981, gave authorizing committees reconciliation instructions which amounted to approximately two-thirds of the savings required under reconciliation.
 (2)The language in H. Con. Res. 448 resulted in a debate about how reconciling discretionary spending programs could be in order given that authorizations of appropriations for programs did not actually change spending and the programs authorized would be funded through later annual appropriation. The staff of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate and the counsel to the Majority Leader advised that upon consultation with the Parliamentarian, the original instructions on discretionary spending would be out of order because of the phrase, to modify programs. This was seen as too broad and programs could be modified without resulting in changes to their future appropriations.
 (3)To rectify this violation, the Committee on the Budget of the Senate reported S. Con. Res. 9 (97th Congress), revising the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal years 1981, 1982, and 1983, to include reconciliation, which revised the language in the reconciliation instructions to change entitlement law and to report changes in laws within the jurisdiction of that committee sufficient to reduce appropriations levels so as to achieve savings.
 (4)This was understood to mean changes in authorization language of discretionary programs would be permissible under reconciliation procedures provided such changes in law would have the result in affecting a change in later outlays derived from future appropriations. Further it was understood that a change in authorization language that caused a change in later outlays was considered to be a change in outlays for the purpose of reconciliation.
 (5)On April 2, 1981, the Senate voted 88 to 10 to approve S. Con. Res. 9 with the modified reconciliation language.
 (b)Sense of the SenateIt is the sense of the Senate that committees reporting changes in laws within the jurisdiction of that committee sufficient to reduce appropriations levels so as to achieve savings shall be considered to be changes in outlays for the purpose of enforcing the prohibition on extraneous matters in reconciliation bills.
 4008.Prohibition on preemptive waiversIn the Senate, it shall not be in order to move to waive or suspend a point of order under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 621 et seq.) or any concurrent resolution on the budget with respect to a bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report unless the point of order has been specifically raised by a Senator.

		RESOLUTION
		Expressing the sense of the House of
		  Representatives that, as part of any agreement on Medicare reform, Medicare
		  should not be changed for any citizens of the United States over the age of 55
		  and any agreement should provide a detailed plan to reduce waste, fraud, and
		  abuse in the program.

		Whereas since 1965, Medicare has been, and continues to
			 be, essential for the United States senior citizens;
		Whereas as of 2011, over 47,000,000 citizens of the United
			 States are Medicare beneficiaries, with 10,000 new eligible enrollees each
			 day;
		Whereas a promise has been made by the Federal Government
			 to provide Medicare services for senior citizens;
		Whereas, in the absence of meaningful reform, Medicare is
			 set to become bankrupt by 2022, according to the nonpartisan Congressional
			 Budget Office;
		Whereas the Department of Justice estimates that
			 $60,000,000,000 is lost each year from fraud in the Medicare program;
			 and
		Whereas Medicare reform is currently being debated by
			 Congress in order to save and strengthen it for future generations of United
			 States citizens: Now, therefore, be it

		That the House of
			 Representatives—
			(1)affirms its deep obligation to fulfill the
			 promises made to senior citizens of the United States regarding access to
			 Medicare upon retirement;
			(2)expresses its firm commitment that no
			 changes in Medicare, including coverages and age of eligibility, be made for
			 citizens of the United States who are over the age of 55 on the date of
			 enactment of this resolution; and
			(3)expresses its firm commitment that any
			 Medicare reform package should provide a detailed plan to reduce waste, fraud,
