     motion, or conference report that would increase the deficit 
     in this resolution for any fiscal year through fiscal year 
     1999 or would increase the deficit for any other fiscal year 
     through fiscal year 2004, as measured by the sum of--
       (1) all applicable estimates of direct spending and 
     receipts legislation applicable to that fiscal year, other 
     than any amounts resulting from--
       (A) full funding of, and continuation of, the deposit 
     insurance guarantee commitment in effect on the date of

     resolution (or amendment, motion, or conference report on 
     such appropriations bill or resolution) for fiscal year 1995, 
     1996, 1997, 1998, or 1999 that would exceed any of the 
     discretionary spending limits in this section.
       (2) Exception.--This section shall not apply if a 
     declaration of war by the Congress is in effect or if a joint 
     resolution pursuant to section 258 of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 has been enacted.
       (c) Waiver.--This section may be waived or suspended in the

     concurrent resolution, bill, or joint resolution, as the case 
     may be. An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of 
     the Senate, duly chosen and sworn, shall be required in the 
     Senate to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a 
     point of order raised under this section.
       (e) Determination of Budget Levels.--For purposes of this

     on the Budget of the Senate or the Committee on the Budget of 
     the House of Representatives, as the case may be.

     SEC. 32. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE BUDGETARY 
                   ACCOUNTING OF HEALTH CARE REFORM.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) the Congress should measure the costs and benefits of 
     all health care reform legislation against a uniform set of 
     economic and technical assumptions;
       (2) before enacting major changes in the health care 
     system, the Congress should have available to it reliable 
     estimates of the costs of competing plans prepared in a 
     comparable manner;
       (3) Congress should use Congressional Budget Office 
     estimates in accounting for the costs and benefits of health 
     care reform legislation; and
       (4) all financial transactions associated with Federal 
     health care reform legislation mandating employer payments 
     for health care coverage should be treated as part of the 
     Federal budget, including employer mandated payments to 
     entities (which should be treated as Government receipts) and 
     payments made by the entities pursuant to Federal law (which 
     should be treated as outlays), for all purposes under the 
     Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.

     SEC. 33. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING UNFUNDED MANDATES.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the Federal Government should not shift the costs of 
     administering Federal programs to State and local 
     governments;
       (2) the Federal Government's share of entitlement programs 
     should not be capped or otherwise decreased without providing 
     States authority to amend their financial or programmatic 
     responsibilities to continue meeting the mandated service;
       (3) the Federal Government should not impose excessive 
     mandates and regulations that increase costs for the private 
     sector, hindering economic growth and employment 
     opportunities; and
       (4) Congress should develop a mechanism to ensure that the 
     costs of mandates are considered during agencies development 
     of regulations and Congressional deliberations on 
     legislation.

     SEC. 34. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING BASELINES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the baselines budget shows the likely course of Federal 
     revenues and spending if policies remain unchanged;
       (2) baselines budgeting has given rise to the practice of 
     calculating policy changes from an inflated spending level; 
     and
       (3) the baseline concept has been misused to portray 
     policies that would simply slow down the increase in spending 
     as spending reductions.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the President should submit a budget that compares 
     proposed spending levels for the budget year with the current 
     year; and
       (2) the starting point for deliberations on a budget 
     resolution should be the current year.

     SEC. 35. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE SALE OF 
                   GOVERNMENT ASSETS.

       (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) from time to time the United States Government should 
     sell assets; and
       (2) the amounts realized from such asset sales should be 
     scored with respect to the level of budget authority, 
     outlays, or revenues.
       (b) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the term 
     ``sale of an asset'' shall have the same meaning as under 
     section 250(c)(21) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
     Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as amended by the Budget 
     Enforcement Act of 1990).

     SEC. 36. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING SCORING OF EMERGENCY 
                   LEGISLATION.

       It is the sense of the Senate that notwithstanding any 
     other rule of the Senate, in the Senate, determinations under 
     sections 302, 303, and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
     1974 should take into account any new budget authority, new 
     entitlement authority, outlays, receipts, or deficit effects 
     in any fiscal year for legislation that is designated as an 
     emergency under sections 251(b)(1)(D) and 252(e) of the 
     Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
