    Representatives relative to baseline estimates consistent with 
    section 257 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control

    the following provisions:
            (A) Medicare improvements.--An increase in the deficit of

scrutiny to issues raised by the Federal Office of the Inspector 
General or the Comptroller General of the United States. Based upon 
these oversight efforts, the committees are directed to make 
recommendations to reduce wasteful Federal spending to promote deficit

    only to the extent that they are inconsistent with other such 
    rules; and
        (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of the 
    House of Representatives to change those rules at any time, in the

                            TITLE V--POLICY

SEC. 501. POLICY ON MIDDLE-CLASS TAX RELIEF AND REVENUES.

    It is the policy of this resolution to minimize fiscal burdens on 
working families and their children and grandchildren. It is the policy 
of this resolution to extend the following tax relief consistent with 
current policy--
        (1) relief for the tens of millions of middle-income households 
    who would otherwise be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) 
    under current law;
        (2) middle-class tax relief; and
        (3) elimination of estate taxes on all but a minute fraction of 
    estates.
In total, this resolution supports the extension of over 
$1,750,000,000,000 in tax relief to individuals and families relative 
to current law. This resolution supports additional, deficit-neutral 
tax relief, including the extension of AMT relief, expanding the 
eligibility for the refundable child credit, the research and 
experimentation tax credit, the deduction for State and local sales 
taxes, the enactment of a tax credit for school construction bonds, and 
other tax relief for working families. The cost of enacting such 
policies may be offset by reforms within the Internal Revenue Code of 
1986 that produce higher rates of tax compliance to close the ``tax 
gap'' and reduce taxpayer burdens through tax simplification. The 
President's budget proposes a variety of other revenue offsets. Unless 
expressly provided, this resolution does not assume any of the specific 
revenue offset proposals provided for in the President's budget. 
Decisions about specific revenue offsets are made by the House 
Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance, which 
are the tax-writing committees.

SEC. 502. POLICY ON DEFENSE PRIORITIES.

    It is the policy of this resolution that--
        (1) there is no higher priority than the defense of our Nation, 
    and therefore the Administration and Congress will make the 
    necessary investments and reforms to strengthen our military so 
    that it can successfully meet the threats of the 21st century;
        (2) acquisition reform is needed at the Department of Defense 
    to end excessive cost growth in the development of new weapons 
    systems and to ensure that weapons systems are delivered on time 
    and in adequate quantities to equip our servicemen and 
    servicewomen;
        (3) the Department of Defense should review defense plans to 
    ensure that weapons developed to counter Cold War-era threats are 
    not redundant and are applicable to 21st century threats;
        (4) sufficient resources should be provided for the Department 
    of Defense to aggressively address the 758 unimplemented 
    recommendations made by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) 
    since 2001 to improve practices at the Department of Defense, which 
    could save billions of dollars that could be applied to priorities 
    identified in this section;
        (5) the Department of Defense should review the role that 
    contractors play in its operations, including the degree to which 
    contractors are performing inherently governmental functions, to 
    ensure it has the most effective mix of government and contracted 
    personnel;
        (6) the Department of Defense report to Congress on its 
    assessment of Cold War-era weaponry, its progress on implementing 
    GAO recommendations, and its review of contractors at the 
    Department as outlined in paragraphs (3), (4), and (5) by a date to 
    be determined by the appropriate committees;
        (7) the GAO provide a report to the appropriate congressional 
    committees by December 31, 2009, on the Department of Defense's 
    progress in implementing its audit recommendations;
        (8) ballistic missile defense technologies that are not proven 
    to work through adequate testing and that are not operationally 
    viable should not be deployed, and that no funding should be 
    provided for the research or development of space-based 
    interceptors;
        (9) cooperative threat reduction and other nonproliferation 
    programs (securing ``loose nukes'' and other materials used in 
    weapons of mass destruction), which were highlighted as high 
    priorities by the 9/11 Commission, need to be funded at a level 
    that is commensurate with the evolving threat;
        (10) readiness of our troops, particularly the National Guard 
    and Reserves, is a high priority, and that continued emphasis is 
    needed to ensure adequate equipment and training;
        (11) improving military health care services and ensuring 
    quality health care for returning combat veterans is a high 
    priority;
        (12) military pay and benefits should be enhanced to improve 
    the quality of life for military personnel and their families;
        (13) the Department of Defense should make every effort to 
    investigate the national security benefits of energy independence, 
    including those that may be associated with alternative energy 
    sources and energy efficiency conversions;
        (14) the Administration's budget requests should continue to 
    comply with section 1008, Public Law 109-364, the John Warner 
    National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, and that 
    to the extent practicable overseas military operations should no 
    longer be funded through emergency supplemental appropriations; and
        (15) when assessing security threats and reviewing the programs 
    and funding needed to counter these threats, the Administration 
    should do so in a comprehensive manner that includes all agencies 
    involved in our national security.

                    TITLE VI--SENSE OF THE CONGRESS

SEC. 601. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON VETERANS' AND SERVICEMEMBERS' HEALTH 
              CARE.

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
        (1) the Congress supports excellent health care for current and 
    former members of the United States Armed Services--they have 
    served well and honorably and have made significant sacrifices for 
    this Nation;
        (2) the President's budget will improve health care for 
    veterans by increasing appropriations for VA by 10 percent more 
    than the 2009 level, increasing VA's appropriated resources for 
    every year after 2010, and restoring health care eligibility to 
    additional nondisabled veterans with modest incomes;
        (3) VA is not and should not be authorized to bill private 
    insurance companies for treatment of health conditions that are 
    related to veterans' military service;
        (4) VA may find it difficult to realize the level of increase 
    in medical care collections estimated in the President's budget for 
    2010 using existing authorities, and increases to veterans 
    beneficiary travel reimbursement are important; therefore, this 
    resolution provides $673,000,000 more for Function 700 (Veterans 
    Benefits and Services) than the President's budget to safeguard the 
    provision of health care to veterans;
        (5) it is important to continue providing sufficient and timely 
    funding for veterans' and servicemembers' health care; and
        (6) this resolution provides additional funding above the 2009 
    levels for VA to research and treat mental health, post-traumatic 
    stress disorder, and traumatic brain injury.

SEC. 602. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON HOMELAND SECURITY.

    It is the sense of the Congress that because making the country 
safer and more secure is such a critical priority, the resolution 
therefore provides robust resources in the four budget functions--
Function 400 (Transportation), Function 450 (Community and Regional 
Development), Function 550 (Health), and Function 750 (Administration 
of Justice)--that fund most nondefense homeland security activities 
that can be used to address our key security priorities, including--
        (1) safeguarding the Nation's transportation systems, including 
    rail, mass transit, ports, and airports;
        (2) continuing with efforts to identify and to screen for 
    threats bound for the United States;
        (3) strengthening border security;
        (4) enhancing emergency preparedness and training and equipping 
    first responders;
        (5) helping to make critical infrastructure more secure and 
    resilient against the threat of terrorism and natural disasters;
        (6) making the Nation's cyber infrastructure resistive to 
    attack; and
        (7) increasing the preparedness of the public health system.

SEC. 603. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON PROMOTING AMERICAN INNOVATION AND 
              ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS.

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
        (1) the Congress should provide sufficient investments to 
    enable our Nation to continue to be the world leader in education, 
    innovation, and economic growth as envisioned in the goals of the 
    America COMPETES Act;
        (2) this resolution builds on significant funding provided in 
    the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for scientific research 
    and education in Function 250 (General Science, Space and 
    Technology), Function 270 (Energy), Function 300 (Natural Resources 
    and Environment), Function 500 (Education, Training, Employment, 
    and Social Services), and Function 550 (Health);
        (3) the Congress also should pursue policies designed to ensure 
    that American students, teachers, businesses, and workers are 
    prepared to continue leading the world in innovation, research, and 
    technology well into the future; and
        (4) this resolution recognizes the importance of the extension 
    of investments and tax policies that promote research and 
    development and encourage innovation and future technologies that 
    will ensure American economic competitiveness.

SEC. 604. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING PAY PARITY.

civilian employees of the United States should be adjusted at the same 
time, and in the same proportion, as are rates of compensation for 
members of the uniformed services.

SEC. 605. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON COLLEGE AFFORDABILITY AND STUDENT 
              LOAN REFORM.

    It is the Sense of the Congress that--
        (1) nothing in the resolution should be construed to reduce any 
    assistance that makes college more affordable and accessible for 
    students, including but not limited to student aid programs and 
    services provided by nonprofit State agencies and private lenders;
        (2) private and non-profit lenders, originators, and loan 
    servicers help students plan for, apply to, and pay for post-
    secondary education and training;
        (3) any reform of the federal student loan programs to ensure 
    that students have reliable and efficient access to federal loans 
    should include some future role for the currently involved private 
    and non-profit entities, including state non-profits with 100% FFEL 
    lending in the State, and capitalize on the current infrastructure 
    provided by private and non-profit entities, in order both to 
    provide employment to many Americans during this time of economic 
    distress and to maintain valuable services that make post-secondary 
    education more accessible and attainable for many Americans; and
        (4) therefore, pursuant to any changes to the student loan 
    programs, loan processing, administration, and servicing should 
    continue to be performed, as needed, by for-profit and non-profit 
    entities.

SEC. 606. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON GREAT LAKES RESTORATION.

    It is the sense of the Congress that this resolution recognizes the 
need to address significant and long-standing problems affecting the 
major large scale aquatic, estuarine, and coastal ecosystems 
nationwide. This resolution includes funding for a new interagency 
initiative to address such regional ecosystems. It also includes 
funding to work with Great Lakes States, tribes, local communities, and 
organizations to more effectively address issues prioritized in the 
Great Lakes Regional Collaborative. This initiative could address 
issues such as invasive species, habitat restoration and conservation, 
non-point source pollution, and contaminated sediment. The resolution 
also supports the President's proposal to use outcome-oriented 
performance goals and measures to target the most significant problems 
and track progress in addressing these ecosystems.

SEC. 607. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF CHILD 
              SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT.

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
        (1) additional legislative action is needed to ensure that 
    States have the necessary resources to collect all child support 
    that is owed to families and to allow them to pass 100 percent of 
    support on to families without financial penalty; and
        (2) when 100 percent of child support payments are passed to 
    the child, rather than administrative expenses, program integrity 
    is improved and child support participation increases.
