offered thereto or a conference report is filed thereon, that makes 
supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2005 or fiscal year 2006 
for contingency operations related to the global war on terrorism, then 
the new budget authority, new entitlement authority, outlays, and 
receipts resulting therefrom shall not count for purposes of sections 
302, 303, 311, and 401 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 for the 
provisions of such measure that are designated pursuant to this 
subsection as making appropriations for such contingency operations.
    (2) Amounts included in this resolution for the purpose set forth 
in paragraph (1) shall be considered to be current law for purposes of 
the preparation of the current level of budget authority and outlays 
and the appropriate levels shall be adjusted upon the enactment of such 
bill.
    (b) Exemption of Emergency Provisions.--In the House, if a bill or 
joint resolution is reported, or an amendment is offered thereto or a 
conference report is filed thereon, that designates a provision as an 
emergency requirement pursuant to this section, then the new budget 
authority, new entitlement authority, outlays, and receipts resulting 
therefrom shall not count for purposes of sections 302, 303, 311, and 
401 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
    (c) Designations.--
            (1) Guidance.--In the House, if a provision of legislation 
        is designated as an emergency requirement under subsection (b), 
        the committee report and any statement of managers accompanying 
        that legislation shall include an explanation of the manner in 
        which the provision meets the criteria in paragraph (2). If 
        such legislation is to be considered by the House without being 
        reported, then the committee shall cause the explanation to be 
        published in the Congressional Record in advance of floor 
        consideration.
            (2) Criteria.--
                    (A) In general.--Any such provision is an emergency 
                requirement if the underlying situation poses a threat 
                to life, property, or national security and is--
                            (i) sudden, quickly coming into being, and 
                        not building up over time;
                            (ii) an urgent, pressing, and compelling 
                        need requiring immediate action;
                            (iii) subject to subparagraph (B), 
                        unforeseen, unpredictable, and unanticipated; 
                        and
                            (iv) not permanent, temporary in nature.
                    (B) Unforeseen.--An emergency that is part of an 
                aggregate level of anticipated emergencies, 
                particularly when normally estimated in advance, is not 
                unforeseen.

under section 302 of such Act.

SEC. 406. SPECIAL PROCEDURES TO ACHIEVE SAVINGS IN MANDATORY SPENDING 
              THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2014.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the share of the budget consumed by mandatory spending 
        have been growing since the mid-1970s, and now is about 54 
        percent;
            (2) this portion of the budget is continuing to grow, 
        crowding out other priorities and threatening overall budget 
        control;
            (3) mandatory spending is intrinsically difficult to 
        control;
            (4) these programs are subject to a variety of factors 
        outside the control of Congress, such as demographics, economic 
        conditions, and medical prices;
            (5) Congress should make an effort at least every other 
        year, to review mandatory spending; and
            (6) the reconciliation process set forth in the 
        Congressional Budget Act of 1974 is a viable tool to reduce the 
        rate of growth in mandatory spending.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
concurrent resolutions on the budget for fiscal years 2007 through 2010 
should include reconciliation instructions to committees, every other 
year, pursuant to section 310(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974 to achieve significant savings in mandatory spending.

            Passed the House of Representatives March 17, 2005.

            Attest:

                                                 JEFF TRANDAHL,

                                                                 Clerk.
