                               RESOLUTION


 
 To institute a Pay-As-You-Go rule in the House of Representatives for 
                          the 110th Congress.

    Resolved,  That it shall not be in order to consider any bill, 
joint resolution, amendment, or conference report if the provisions of 
such measure affecting direct spending and revenues have the net effect 
of increasing the deficit or reducing the surplus for either the period 
comprising the current fiscal year and the five fiscal years beginning 
with the fiscal year that ends in the following calendar year or the 
period comprising the current fiscal year and the ten fiscal years 
beginning with the fiscal year that ends in the following calendar 
year. The effect of such measure on the deficit or surplus shall be 
determined on the basis of estimates made by the Committee on the 
Budget relative to--
            (1) the most recent baseline estimates supplied by the 
        Congressional Budget Office consistent with section 257 of the 
        Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 used 
        in considering a concurrent resolution on the budget; or
            (2) after the beginning of a new calendar year and before 
        consideration of a concurrent resolution on the budget, the 
        most recent baseline estimates supplied by the Congressional 
        Budget Office consistent with section 257 of the Balanced 
        Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
