includes any provision or provisions affecting the Crime Victims Fund, 
as defined by section 1402 of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (42 
U.S.C. 10601), which constitutes a change in a mandatory program that 
would have been estimated as affecting direct spending or receipts 
under section 252 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control 
Act of 1985 (as in effect prior to September 30, 2002) were they 
included in legislation other than appropriations legislation. A point 
of order pursuant to this section shall be raised against such

point of order. If the Presiding Officer so sustains the point of order 
as to some of the provisions (including provisions of an amendment, 
motion, or conference report) against which the Senator raised the 
point of order, then only those provisions (including provision of an 
amendment, motion, or conference report) against which the Presiding 
Officer sustains the point of order shall be deemed stricken pursuant 
to this section. Before the Presiding Officer rules on such a point of 
order, any Senator may move to waive such a point of order as it 
applies to some or all of the provisions against which the point of 
order was raised. Such a motion to waive is amendable in accordance 
with rules and precedents of the Senate. After the Presiding Officer 
rules on such a point of order, any Senator may appeal the ruling of 
the Presiding Officer on such a point of order as it applies to some or 
all of the provisions on which the Presiding Officer ruled.
    (e) Form of the Point of Order.--When the Senate is considering a 
conference report on, or an amendment between the Houses in relation 
to, a bill, upon a point of order being made by any Senator pursuant to 
this section, and such point of order being sustained, such material 
contained in such conference report or amendment shall be deemed 
stricken, and the Senate shall proceed to consider the question of 
whether the Senate shall recede from its amendment and concur with a 
further amendment, or concur in the House amendment with a further 
amendment, as the case may be, which further amendment shall consist of 
only that portion of the conference report or House amendment, as the 
case may be, not so stricken. Any such motion shall be debatable. In 
any case in which such point of order is sustained against a conference 
report (or Senate amendment derived from such conference report by 
operation of this subsection), no further amendment shall be in order.

fifth year of the budget window is greater than the gross debt 
projected for the current year, as described in section 101(5) of this 
resolution, the report, print, or statement of managers accompanying 
the budget resolution shall contain a section that--
            (1) details the circumstances making it in the national 
        interest to allow Federal debt to increase rather than taking 
        steps to reduce the debt; and
            (2) provides a justification for allowing the surpluses in

means the nominal levels of (or changes in the levels of) gross Federal 
debt (debt subject to limit as set forth in section 101(5) of this

the gross Federal debt of the nation to rise by $4,960,000,000,000 from

things other than Social Security.

SEC. 327. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS.
