			5007.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.
 5008.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.
 5009.Adjustments for legislation reducing appropriationsThe Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate may revise the allocations in effect under section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 633(a)) and the allocations of a committee or committees, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution for any bill or joint resolution considered pursuant to section 3001 containing the recommendations of one or more committees, or for one or more amendments to, a conference report on, or an amendment between the Houses in relation to such a bill or joint resolution, by the amounts necessary to accommodate the reduction in the amount of discretionary appropriations for a fiscal year caused by the measure.
 5010.AuthorityCongress adopts this title under the authority under section 301(b)(4) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 632(b)(4)).
 5011.Exercise of rulemaking powersCongress adopts the provisions of this title— (1)as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate, and as such they shall be considered as part of the rules of the Senate and such rules shall supersede other rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent with such other rules; and
 (2)with full recognition of the constitutional right of the Senate to change those rules at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as is the case of any other rule of the Senate.May 7, 2019Read the second time and placed on the calendar

Agreed to

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing and supporting the efforts of the United Bid Committee to bring the 2026 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup competition to Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

Whereas soccer is one of the fastest growing and most popular sports in the world and the FIFA World Cup competition is the single most important event in that sport;  Whereas the United States successfully hosted in nine cities throughout the Nation the 1994 FIFA World Cup competition, which was broadcast to billions of fans around the world and set an attendance record of nearly 3.6 million, which remains unbroken today;
Whereas the 1994 FIFA World Cup competition served as a catalyst for the increased popularity and development of the game throughout the United States, as well as the introduction of Major League Soccer, the United States national first division professional soccer league;  Whereas United States Soccer Federation and its counterparts in Canada and Mexico have established a United Bid Committee to prepare and submit an unprecedented joint bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup competition in North America;
Whereas Canada, the United States, and Mexico share core beliefs in justice, freedom, equality, and opportunity, and have a long history of partnership, innovation, and growth together on our shared continent;  Whereas for the first time in history the 2026 FIFA World Cup will include teams from 48 nations and presents an opportunity for Canada, Mexico, and the United States as host countries to demonstrate the highest achievable standards and serve as a benchmark for future organizers;
Whereas North America is home to one of the most competitive and advanced professional sports landscapes in the world that is continually updating to take advantage of the latest innovations and modernizations;  Whereas numerous American cities have been named by the United Bid Committee as candidates to serve as hosts to FIFA World Cup matches in 2026, with each of these cities embodying the diversity and enthusiasm shared by the entire Nation and guaranteeing each participating team and its followers a home team atmosphere;
Whereas the United States and its neighbors offer FIFA a valuable and receptive market within which to further develop the sport of soccer, which in turn will have significant impact on and off the field in both the United States and throughout the world;  Whereas the United States possesses all necessary state-of-the-art infrastructure in its stadiums and potential host cities to ensure that the competition sets a new standard of quality, comfort, security, and safety for players, officials, spectators, media, and sponsors alike;
Whereas hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the United States promises record-setting attendance and financial performance, allowing revenues and tourism generated by the competition to be used for the further development of soccer, FIFA’s objectives of positive social and environmental change, and further economic growth throughout our Nation;  Whereas hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup competition in Canada, Mexico, and the United States would serve as a tremendous impetus to national and international goodwill, as the competition would bring people from many nations, along with a diverse public, together under one banner of peace, friendship, and spirited and fair competition;
Whereas the historical tradition of inclusivity in the United States is shared by Canada and Mexico and the three countries are eager to welcome the players, spectators, and visitors who may travel to North America for the 2026 FIFA World Cup games; and  Whereas pursuant to FIFA bidding procedures, the President of the United States and certain Federal agencies have been asked to issue guarantees that upon authorization or appropriation, would establish the conditions required to help make the 2026 FIFA World Cup competition the most successful in history: Now, therefore, be it

That the Congress— (1)recognizes and supports the efforts of the United Bid Committee to bring the 2026 FIFA World Cup competition to Canada, Mexico, and the United States;
(2)encourages the President of the United States and appropriate Federal agencies to support the United Bid Committee in its efforts to meet all requirements for the United States to jointly host with Canada and Mexico the 2026 FIFA World Cup competition; and  (3)stands prepared to give full consideration to legislative proposals or other requests by the President to provide support related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup competition, if Canada, Mexico, and the United States are selected to host this event.

		110th CONGRESS
		2d Session
		H. RES. 185
		In the House of Representatives, U.
		  S.,

			April 1, 2008

		RESOLUTION
		Expressing the sense of the House of
		  Representatives regarding the creation of refugee populations in the Middle
		  East, North Africa, and the Persian Gulf region as a result of human rights
		  violations.

		Whereas armed conflicts in the Middle East have created
			 refugee populations numbering in the millions and comprised of peoples from
			 many ethnic, religious, and national backgrounds;
		Whereas Jews have lived mostly as a minority in the Middle
			 East, North Africa, and the Persian Gulf region for more than 2,500
			 years;
		Whereas the United States has long voiced its concern
			 about the mistreatment of minorities and the violation of human rights in the
			 Middle East and elsewhere;
		Whereas the United States continues to play a pivotal role
			 in seeking an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East and to
			 promoting a peace that will benefit all the peoples of the region;
		Whereas United States administrations historically have
			 called for a just solution to the Palestinian refugee problem;
		Whereas the Palestinian refugee issue has received
			 considerable attention from countries of the world while the issue of Jewish
			 refugees from the Arab and Muslim worlds has received very little
			 attention;
		Whereas a comprehensive peace in the region will require
			 the resolution of all outstanding issues through bilateral and multilateral
			 negotiations involving all concerned parties;
		Whereas approximately 850,000 Jews have been displaced
			 from Arab countries since the declaration of the State of Israel in
			 1948;
		Whereas the United States has demonstrated interest and
			 concern about the mistreatment, violation of rights, forced expulsion, and
			 expropriation of assets of minority populations in general, and in particular,
			 former Jewish refugees displaced from Arab countries as evidenced, inter alia,
			 by—
			(1)the Memorandum of Understanding signed by
			 President Jimmy Carter and Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan on October 4,
			 1977, which states that [a] solution of the problem of Arab refugees and
			 Jewish refugees will be discussed in accordance with rules which should be
			 agreed;
			(2)after negotiating
			 the Camp David Accords, the Framework for Peace in the Middle East, the
			 statement by President Jimmy Carter in a press conference on October 27, 1977,
			 that Palestinians have rights . . . obviously there are Jewish refugees
			 . . . they have the same rights as others do; and
			(3)in an interview
			 after Camp David II in July 2000, at which the issue of Jewish refugees
			 displaced from Arab lands was discussed, the statement by President Clinton
			 that There will have to be some sort of international fund set up for
			 the refugees. There is, I think, some interest, interestingly enough, on both
			 sides, in also having a fund which compensates the Israelis who were made
			 refugees by the war, which occurred after the birth of the State of Israel.
			 Israel is full of people, Jewish people, who lived in predominantly Arab
			 countries who came to Israel because they were made refugees in their own
			 land.;
			Whereas the international definition of a refugee clearly
			 applies to Jews who fled the persecution of Arab regimes, where a refugee is a
			 person who owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons
			 of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or
			 political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to
			 or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that
			 country (the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of
			 Refugees);
		Whereas on January 29, 1957, the United Nations High
			 Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), determined that Jews fleeing from Arab
			 countries were refugees that fell within the mandate of the UNHCR;
		Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 242 of
			 November 22, 1967, calls for a just settlement of the refugee
			 problem without distinction between Palestinian and Jewish refugees,
			 and this is evidenced by—
			(1)the Soviet Union’s United Nations
			 delegation attempt to restrict the just settlement mentioned in
			 Resolution 242 solely to Palestinian refugees (S/8236, discussed by the
			 Security Council at its 1382nd meeting of November 22, 1967, notably at
			 paragraph 117, in the words of Ambassador Kouznetsov of the Soviet Union), but
			 this attempt failed, signifying the international community’s intention of
			 having the resolution address the rights of all Middle East refugees;
			 and
			(2)a statement by Justice Arthur Goldberg, the
			 United States’ Chief Delegate to the United Nations at that time, who was
			 instrumental in drafting the unanimously adopted Resolution 242, where he has
			 pointed out that The resolution addresses the objective of
			 achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem. This
			 language presumably refers both to Arab and Jewish refugees, for about an equal
			 number of each abandoned their homes as a result of the several
			 wars.;
			Whereas in his opening remarks before the January 28,
			 1992, organizational meeting for multilateral negotiations on the Middle East
			 in Moscow, United States Secretary of State James Baker made no distinction
			 between Palestinian refugees and Jewish refugees in articulating the mission of
			 the Refugee Working Group, stating that [t]he refugee group will
			 consider practical ways of improving the lot of people throughout the region
			 who have been displaced from their homes;
		Whereas the Roadmap to a Permanent Two-State Solution to
			 the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, which refers in Phase III to an
			 agreed, just, fair, and realistic solution to the refugee issue,
			 uses language that is equally applicable to all persons displaced as a result
			 of the conflict in the Middle East;
		Whereas Israel’s agreements with Egypt, Jordan, and the
			 Palestinians have affirmed that a comprehensive solution to the Arab-Israeli
			 conflict will require a just solution to the plight of all
			 refugees;
		Whereas the initiative to secure rights and redress for
			 Jews who were forced to flee Arab countries does not conflict with the right of
			 Palestinian refugees to claim redress;
		Whereas all countries should be aware of the plight of
			 Jews and other minority groups displaced from countries in the Middle East,
			 North Africa, and the Persian Gulf;
		Whereas an international campaign is proceeding in some 40
			 countries to record the history and legacy of Jewish refugees from Arab
			 countries;
		Whereas a just, comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace cannot be
			 reached without addressing the uprooting of centuries-old Jewish communities in
			 the Middle East, North Africa, and the Persian Gulf; and
		Whereas it would be inappropriate and unjust for the
			 United States to recognize rights for Palestinian refugees without recognizing
			 equal rights for Jewish refugees from Arab countries: Now, therefore, be
			 it

		That—
			(1)for any
			 comprehensive Middle East peace agreement to be credible and enduring, the
			 agreement must address and resolve all outstanding issues relating to the
			 legitimate rights of all refugees, including Jews, Christians, and other
			 populations, displaced from countries in the Middle East; and
			(2)the President
			 should instruct the United States Representative to the United Nations and all
			 United States representatives in bilateral and multilateral fora to—
				(A)use the voice, vote, and influence of the
			 United States to ensure that any resolutions relating to the issue of Middle
			 East refugees, and which include a reference to the required resolution of the
			 Palestinian refugee issue, must also include a similarly explicit reference to
			 the resolution of the issue of Jewish refugees from Arab countries; and
				(B)make clear that
			 the United States Government supports the position that, as an integral part of
			 any comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace, the issue of refugees from the Middle
			 East, North Africa, and the Persian Gulf must be resolved in a manner that
			 includes recognition of the legitimate rights of and losses incurred by all
			 refugees displaced from Arab countries, including Jews, Christians, and other
			 groups.
