    Upon the adoption of this resolution, the Committee on the Budget 
of the House of Representatives and the Committee on the Budget of the 
Senate shall each make separate allocations to the appropriate 
committees of its House of Congress of total new budget authority and 
total budget outlays for each fiscal year covered by this resolution to

SEC. 7. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING BUDGET TRENDS.

    It is the sense of Congress that the increasing portion of the 
Federal budget absorbed by interest payments and consumption programs, 
particularly health spending, has led to a declining level of 
domestically financed investment and may adversely impact the ability 
of the economy to grow at the levels needed to provide for future 
generations.

SEC. 8. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE NEED TO MAINTAIN FEDERAL 
              INVESTMENTS.

    It is the sense of Congress that a balanced program to improve the 
economy should be based on the concurrent goals of eliminating the 
deficit and maintaining Federal investment in programs that enhance 
long-term productivity such as research and development, education and 
training, and physical infrastructure improvements.

SEC. 9. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE TREATMENT OF FEDERAL 
              INVESTMENTS WITHIN THE BUDGET.

    It is the sense of Congress that the current budget structure 
focuses primarily on short-term spending and does not highlight for 
decision making purposes the differences between Federal spending for 
long-term investment and that for current consumption. In order to 
restructure the Federal budget to make such a distinction, it is 
necessary to identify an investment component in the Federal budget and 
establish specific budgetary targets for such investments.
