                     TITLE II--BUDGETARY PROCEDURES

     SEC. 21. 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 will not 
     recur on an annual basis and do not reduce the demand for 
     credit.
       (b) Budgetary Treatment.--For purposes of points of order 
     under this concurrent resolution and the Congressional Budget 
     and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the amounts realized 
     from sales of assets (other than loan assets) shall not be 
     scored with respect to the level of budget authority, 
     outlays, or revenues.
       (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
       (1) 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); and
       (2) the term shall not include asset sales mandated by law 
     before September 18, 1987, and routine, ongoing asset sales 
     at levels consistent with agency operations in fiscal year 
     1986.
       (d) Sunset.--Subsections (a) through (c) of this section 
     shall expire September 30, 1998.
       (e) Conforming Amendment.--Section 8 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 64 (103d Congress), section 8 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 287 (102d Congress), section 7 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 121 (102d Congress), section 5 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 310 (101st Congress), section 6 of House 
     Concurrent Resolution 106 (101st Congress), section 4 of 
     House Concurrent Resolution 268 (100th Congress), and 
     sections 7 and 8 of House Concurrent Resolution 93 (100th 
     Congress) are repealed.

     SEC. 22. SOCIAL SECURITY FIRE WALL POINT OF ORDER IN THE 
                   SENATE.

       (a) Application of Section 301(i).--Notwithstanding any 
     other rule of the Senate, in the Senate, the point of order 
     established under section 301(i) of the Congressional Budget 
     Act of 1974 shall apply to any concurrent resolution on the 
     budget for any fiscal year (as reported and as amended), 
     amendments thereto, or any conference report thereon.
       (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 10(b) of House 
     Concurrent Resolution 64 (103d Congress) and section 12(b) of 
     House Concurrent Resolution 287 (102d Congress) are repealed.

     SEC. 23. ENFORCING PAY-AS-YOU-GO.

       (a) Purpose.--The Senate declares that it is essential to--
       (1) ensure continued compliance with the deficit reduction 
     embodied in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993; 
     and
       (2) continue the pay-as-you-go enforcement system.
       (b) Point of Order.--
       (1) In general.--It shall not be in order in the Senate to 
     consider any direct-spending or receipts legislation (as 
     defined in paragraph (3)) that would increase the deficit for 
     any one of the three applicable time periods (as defined in 
     paragraph (2)) as measured pursuant to paragraphs (4) and 
     (5).
       (2) Applicable time periods.--For purposes of this 
     subsection, the term ``applicable time period'' means any one 
     of the three following periods--
       (A) the first fiscal year covered by the most recently 
     adopted concurrent resolution on the budget;
       (B) the period of the 5 fiscal years covered by the most 
     recently adopted concurrent resolution on the budget; or
       (C) the period of the 5 fiscal years following the first 5 
     years covered by the most recently adopted concurrent 
     resolution on the budget.
       (3) Direct-spending or receipts legislation.--For purposes 
     of this subsection, the term ``direct-spending or receipts 
     legislation'' shall--
       (A) include any bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, 
     or conference report to which this subsection otherwise 
     applies;
       (B) exclude concurrent resolutions on the budget;
       (C) exclude full funding of, and continuation of, the 
     deposit insurance guarantee commitment in effect on the date 
     of enactment of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990;
       (D) exclude emergency provisions so designated under 
     section 252(e) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
     Control Act of 1985;
       (E) include the estimated amount of savings in direct-
     spending programs applicable to that fiscal year resulting 
     from the prior year's sequestration under the Balanced Budget 
     and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, if any (except for 
     any amounts sequestered as a result of a net deficit increase 
     in the fiscal year immediately preceding the prior fiscal 
     year); and
       (F) except as otherwise provided in this subsection, 
     include all direct-spending legislation as that term is 
     interpreted for purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
     Deficit Control Act of 1985.
       (4) Baseline.--Estimates prepared pursuant to this section 
     shall use the baseline used for the most recent concurrent 
     resolution on the budget, and for years beyond those covered 
     by that concurrent resolution, shall abide by the 
     requirements of section 257 of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, except that references 
     to ``outyears'' in that section shall be deemed to apply to 
     any year (other than the budget year) covered by any one of 
     the time periods defined in paragraph (2) of this subsection.
       (5) Prior surplus available.--If direct-spending or 
     receipts legislation increases the deficit when taken 
     individually (as a bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, 
     or conference report, as the case may be), then it must also 
     increase the deficit when taken together with all direct-
     spending and receipts legislation enacted after the date of 
     enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, 
     in order to violate the prohibition of this subsection.
       (c) Waiver.--This section may be waived or suspended in the 
     Senate only by the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the 
     Members, duly chosen and sworn.
       (d) Appeals.--Appeals in the Senate from the decisions of 
     the Chair relating to any provision of this section shall be 
     limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and 
     controlled by, the appellant and the manager of the 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 
     section, the levels of new budget authority, outlays, and 
     receipts for a fiscal year shall be determined on the basis 
     of estimates made by the Committee on the Budget of the 
     Senate.
       (f) Conforming Amendment.--Section 12 of House Concurrent 
     Resolution 64 (103d Congress) is repealed.
       (g) Technical Correction.--Notwithstanding section 275(b) 
     of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 
     1985 (as amended by sections 13112(b) and 13208(b)(3) of the 
     Budget Enforcement Act of 1990), the second sentence of 
     section 904(c) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
     (except insofar as it relates to section 313 of that Act) and 
     the final sentence of section 904(d) of that Act (except 
     insofar as it relates to section 313 of that Act) shall 
     continue to have effect as rules of the Senate through (but 
     no later than) September 30, 1998.
       (h) Sunset.--Subsections (a) through (e) of this section 
     shall expire September 30, 1998.

       (2) Point of order in the senate.--(A) Except as provided 
     in subparagraph (B), it shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any concurrent resolution on the budget for 
     fiscal year 1996, 1997, or 1998 (or amendment or motion on 
     such a resolution) that recommends discretionary spending 
     levels for the first fiscal year covered by that resolution 
     that would exceed the discretionary spending limits as 
     reduced in this section.
       (B) This subsection shall not apply if a declaration of war

     Senate to sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a 
     point of order raised under this section.

     such legislation) for the Internal Revenue Service compliance

     that fiscal year for the Internal Revenue Service in the 
     President's Budget for fiscal year 1995.
       (b) Revised Limits, Allocations, and Aggregates.--Upon the 
     reporting of legislation pursuant to subsection (a), and 
     again upon the submission of a conference report on such

     Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate or the 
     House of Representatives (as the case may be) shall submit to 
     that Chairman's respective House appropriately revised--
       (1) discretionary spending limits under section 601(a)(2) 
     of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (and those limits as 
     cumulatively adjusted) for the current fiscal year and each 
     outyear;
       (2) allocations to the Committees on Appropriations under 
     sections 302(a) and 602(a) of that Act;

     agreed to concurrent resolution on the budget; and
       (4) maximum deficit amount under section 601(a)(1) of that 
     Act (and that amount as cumulatively adjusted) for the 
     current fiscal year,

     to carry out this subsection. These revised discretionary 
     spending limits, allocations, and aggregates shall be 
     considered for purposes of congressional enforcement under 
     that Act as the discretionary spending limits, allocations, 
     and aggregates.
       (c) Reporting Revised Suballocations.--The Committees on 
     Appropriations of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     may report appropriately revised suballocations pursuant to 
     sections 302(b)(1) and 602(b)(1) of the Congressional Budget 
     Act of 1974 to carry out this section.
       (d) Contingencies.--
       (1) The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury 
     Department have certified that they are firmly committed to 
     the principles of privacy, confidentiality, courtesy, and 
     protection of taxpayer rights. To this end, the Internal 
     Revenue Service and the Treasury Department have explicitly 
     committed to initiate and implement educational programs for 
     any new employees hired as a result of the compliance 
     initiative made possible by this section.
       (2) This section shall not apply to any additional new 
     budget authority or additional outlays unless--
       (A) in the Senate, the Chairman of the Budget Committee 
     certifies, based upon information from the Congressional 
     Budget Office, the General Accounting Office, and the 
     Internal Revenue Service (as well as from any other sources 
     he deems relevant), that such budget authority or outlays 
     will not increase the total of the Federal budget deficits 
     over the next five years; and
       (B) any funds made available pursuant to such budget 
     authority or outlays are available only for the purpose of 
     carrying out Internal Revenue Service compliance initiative 
     activities.

                   REPRESENTATIVES.

       (a) In the House of Representatives, if health care reform 
     legislation is reported (including by a committee of 
     conference), budget authority, outlays, and new entitlement 
     authority shall be allocated to committees, and the total 
     levels of budget authority, outlays, and revenues shall be 
     adjusted, to reflect such legislation if the legislation in 
     the form in which it will be considered would not increase 
     the total deficit for the period of fiscal years 1995 through 
     1999.
       (b) Upon reporting of legislation described in subsection 
     (a) and again upon submission of a conference report on such 
     legislation, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget of 
     the House of Representatives shall publish in the 
     Congressional Record revised allocations under section 602(a) 
     of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and revised levels of 
     total budget authority, outlays, and revenues to carry out 
     this section. In the House of Representatives, such 
     allocations and totals shall be considered as the allocations 
     and aggregates under this resolution.

     that committee's jurisdiction, if, to the extent that this 
     concurrent resolution on the budget does not include the 
     costs of that legislation, the enactment of that legislation

     any of the purposes described in subsection (b)(2) within 
     that committee's jurisdiction, if, to the extent that this 
     concurrent resolution on the budget does not include the 
     costs of that legislation, the enactment of that legislation

     appropriately revised allocations under sections 302(a) and 
     602(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and revised 
     aggregates, if the enactment of that legislation (as proposed

     SEC. 28. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS.

       The Congress adopts the provisions of this title--
       (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate 
     and the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such 
     they shall be considered as part of the rules of each House, 
     or of that House to which they specifically apply, and such 
     rules shall supersede other rules only to the extent that 
     they are inconsistent therewith; and
       (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
     either House to change those rules (so far as they relate to 
     that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same 
     extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.
                TITLE III--SENSE OF CONGRESS PROVISIONS

     SEC. 31. CONTROLLING GROWTH OF ENTITLEMENT OR MANDATORY 
                   SPENDING.

       It is the sense of the Congress that legislation should be 
     enacted providing enforceable limits to control the growth of 
     entitlement or mandatory spending.

     SEC. 32. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING ENACTMENT OF CERTAIN 
                   BUDGET PROCESS LEGISLATION.

       It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the 
     following legislation should be enacted:
       (1) Legislation providing enforceable limits to control the 
     growth of entitlement or mandatory spending.
       (2) Amendments to the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 to 
     establish a regular procedure to provide assistance for 
     disasters and other emergencies without adding to the 
     deficit.
       (3) Legislation granting the President expedited rescission 
     authority over appropriations measures, as provided by H.R. 
     1578, as passed the House.

     SEC. 33. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON CONTROLLING NON-SOCIAL 
                   SECURITY MANDATORY SPENDING.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the Congress should--
       (1) after enacting health care reform legislation, enact 
     annual caps to control the growth of entitlement or mandatory 
     spending;
       (2) include within these caps all mandatory spending 
     programs except Social Security, deposit insurance, and net 
     interest;
       (3) provide that these caps shall be set so that programs 
     providing benefits to individuals may grow for inflation, 
     changes in the numbers of beneficiaries, and an additional 
     growth allowance;
       (4) provide that these caps shall be adjusted annually in 
     the President's budget for changes in inflation and the 
     number of beneficiaries since Congress enacted the caps 
     (excluding any changes due to legislation);
       (5) provide an enforcement mechanism in the event that 
     total mandatory spending exceeds the caps; and
       (6) enact caps on tax expenditures similar to those for 
     mandatory spending so as to ensure that reductions in Federal 
     spending for mandatory programs are not achieved by shifting 
     spending to tax expenditures.

     SEC. 34. 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; and
       (3) the Congress should account for all financial 
     transactions associated with Federal health care reform 
     legislation.

     SEC. 35. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON THE COSTS OF ILLEGAL 
                   IMMIGRATION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Federal Government is solely responsible for 
     setting and enforcing national immigration policy;
       (2) the Federal Government has not adequately enforced 
     immigration laws;
       (3) this weak enforcement has imposed financial costs on 
     State and local governments;
       (4) the Federal Government has failed to investigate and 
     prosecute Federal wage and hour violations, thus creating 
     incentives to hire persons illegally in the United States and 
     exacerbating the problem of illegal immigration;
       (5) States must incur costs for incarcerating undocumented 
     persons convicted of State and local crimes, educating 
     undocumented children, providing emergency medical services 
     to undocumented persons, and providing services incidental to 
     admission of refugees under the Refugee Admissions and 
     Resettlement Program; and
       (6) the Federal Government has an obligation to reimburse 
     State and local governments for costs resulting from the 
     costs described in this subsection.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that, in setting forth the budget authority and outlay 
     amounts in this resolution, the Congress intends that funding 
     should be provided to reimburse State and local governments 
     for the costs associated with--
       (1) elementary and secondary education for undocumented 
     children;
       (2) emergency medical assistance to undocumented persons;
       (3) incarceration and parole of criminal aliens; and
       (4) services incidental to admission of refugees under the 
     Refugee Admissions and Resettlement Program.

     SEC. 36. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING BASELINES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the baseline budget shows the likely course of Federal 
     revenues and spending if policies remain unchanged;
       (2) baseline 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. 37. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING UNFUNDED FEDERAL 
                   MANDATES.

       It is the sense of the 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; 
     and
       (3) Congress should develop a mechanism to ensure that 
     costs of mandates are considered during agencies' development 
     of regulations and congressional deliberations on 
     legislation.

     SEC. 38. CLOSING OF LOOPHOLES IN FOREIGN TAX PROVISIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) there is evidence suggesting that foreign-controlled 
     corporations doing business in the United States do not pay 
     their fair share of taxes;
       (2) over 70 percent of foreign-controlled corporations 
     doing business in the United States pay no Federal income 
     tax;
       (3) the United States Department of the Treasury has 
     limited its ability to protect the revenue base in the case 
     of cross-border transactions, to the detriment of taxpayers 
     engaged solely in domestic transactions;
       (4) the Department of the Treasury has been using 
     antiquated accounting concepts to deal with sophisticated 
     multinational corporations;
       (5) substantial Federal revenues are lost annually due to 
     the inability of the Internal Revenue Service to enforce the 
     ``arm's length'' transaction rule, along with substantial 
     amounts spent on administration and litigation; and
       (6) the Federal income tax laws provide a financial 
     incentive for domestic taxpayers to operate abroad by 
     granting them deferral of United States taxes on income 
     earned abroad.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that deficit reduction should be achieved, in part, by ending 
     loopholes and enforcement breakdowns that now foster the 
     underpayment of taxes on income from cross-border 
     transactions and that subsidize the flight of domestic 
     businesses and jobs out of the United States, by means 
     including--
       (1) the adoption of a more streamlined and efficient method 
     of enforcing Federal tax laws involving multinational 
     corporations, especially those based abroad, and in 
     particular, the use by the Treasury Department of a formulaic 
     approach in cases in which the current ``arm's length'' 
     transaction rules do not work; and
       (2) a repeal of tax subsidies for domestic businesses that 
     operate abroad in tax havens and then ship their products 
     back into the United States.

     SEC. 39. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING TAX EXPENDITURES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that tax expenditures--
       (1) are growing significantly;
       (2) may have the same effect as direct Federal spending; 
     and
       (3) should be subject to the same level of budgetary review 
     as direct spending.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the Congress should consider targets for the growth in 
     tax expenditures similar to the targets for the growth of 
     mandatory spending;
       (2) any reconciliation instructions included in a budget 
     resolution should specify these targets; and
       (3) such targets should be enforceable separately from any 
     revenue targets included in the reconciliation instructions.

     SEC. 40. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING HEALTH SERVICE 
                   DELIVERY AND WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE INDIAN 
                   HEALTH SERVICE.

       It is the sense of the Congress that--
       (1) sufficient funding should be provided to the Indian 
     Health Service to ensure that Indian Health Service hospitals 
     and outpatient facilities in existence on the date of 
     enactment of this resolution, and Indian Health Service 
     hospitals and outpatient facilities scheduled to open during 
     fiscal years 1994, 1995, and 1996, are fully staffed with the 
     appropriate number of health care professionals needed to 
     meet the health and medical needs of the American Indians and 
     Alaska Natives who depend on the Indian Health Service for 
     health care; and
       (2) sufficient funding should be provided to the Indian 
     Health Service to ensure that the Indian Health Service is 
     capable of meeting basic public health and safety and 
     sanitation requirements on Indian lands through timely and 
     proper water infrastructure construction and upgrades.

     SEC. 41. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE NATIONAL 
                   AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the budget authority and 
     outlay figures for function 250 in this resolution do not 
     assume any amounts for the National Aeronautics and Space 
     Administration for any fiscal year from 1995 through 1999 in 
     excess of the amounts proposed by the President for such 
     fiscal year.

     SEC. 42. MINIMUM ALLOCATION PROGRAM.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the minimum allocation program was established in 1982 
     to address inequities in the funding formula for Federal-aid 
     highways;
       (2) the minimum allocation program was designed to provide 
     the greatest degree of flexibility practicable to States that 
     receive funding under the formula referred to in paragraph 
     (1) and includes an exemption of the apportionments from the 
     obligation ceiling;
       (3) the minimum allocation program provides additional 
     flexibility by allowing a State a 4-year period during which 
     amounts apportioned to the State may be obligated;
       (4) the budget of the United States Government for fiscal 
     year 1995 submitted by the President to Congress proposes to 
     include minimum allocation apportionments under the 
     obligation ceiling and also proposes to limit the authority 
     of States to obligate apportionments under the minimum 
     allocation program to 67 percent of the amount of the 
     apportionments; and
       (5) States have planned transportation programs on the 
     basis of the provisions of the Intermodal Surface 
     Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, and the amendments 
     made by the Act, relating to minimum allocation that 
     confirmed core commitments to exemption and flexibility.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the minimum allocation program should remain exempt 
     from the obligation ceiling; and
       (2) the flexibility of the minimum allocation program 
     should be an enduring and critical component of the provision 
     of Federal assistance to States for Federal-aid highways.
       (c) Definitions.--As used in this section:
       (1) Federal-aid highways.--The term ``Federal-aid 
     highways'' has the meaning provided the term in section 101 
     of title 23, United States Code.
       (2) Minimum allocation program.--The term ``minimum 
     allocation program'' means the program of allocation of 
     funding to States under section 157 of title 23, United 
     States Code.
       (3) Obligation ceiling.--The term ``obligation ceiling'' 
     means the obligation ceiling under section 1002 of the 
     Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991.

     SEC. 43. POLICY IN EASTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPE.

       It is the sense of the Congress that levels of spending set 
     forth in this resolution regarding the International Affairs 
     (150) budget category include an assumption that the United 
     States will oppose, consistent with provisions contained in 
     the Freedom Support Act and the Foreign Assistance 
     Appropriations Act of 1994, attempts by the Russian 
     Federation to intimidate, use military force or engage in 
     economic coercion to establish a sphere of influence over the 
     former republics of the Soviet Union, the Baltics, or Central 
     and Eastern European nations.

     SEC. 44. STAR WARS (BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE).

       It is the sense of the Senate that given the Federal budget 
     deficit, the real reductions in discretionary spending in 
     this resolution, and the existence of many more worthy 
     programs competing for this funding, spending for the Star 
     Wars (Ballistic Missile Defense) must not exceed the fiscal 
     year 1994 appropriated level.

       And the Senate agree to the same.
     Martin Olav Sabo,
     Dick Gephardt,

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the Senate and the House at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the concurrent resolution (House 
     Concurrent Resolution 218) setting forth the congressional 
     budget for the United States Government for the fiscal years 
     1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999, submit the following joint 
     statement to the House and the Senate in explanation of the 
     effect of the action agreed upon by the managers and 
     recommended in the accompanying conference report:
       The Senate amendment struck out all of the House resolution 
     after the resolving clause and inserted a substitute text.
       The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of 
     the Senate with an amendment which is a substitute for the 
     House resolution and the Senate amendment.

                  Explanation of Conference Agreement

       The following tables show the functional allocations and 
     budget aggregates included in the conference agreement and 
     the House-passed and Senate-passed versions of the 
     resolution. In addition to on-budget figures, these tables 
     include off-budget and total budget figures, which are shown 
     for informational purposes only. Another table displays 
     credit amounts by function. The conference agreement credit 
     amounts are identical to those in both the House resolution 
     and the Senate amendment.

                      Allocations Among Committees

       Sections 302(a) and 602(a) of the Congressional Budget Act 
     of 1974 require the joint explanatory statement accompanying 
     the conference report on a concurrent resolution on the 
     budget to include an allocation, based upon that concurrent 
     resolution as recommended in the conference report, of the 
     appropriate levels of total outlays, new budget authority, 
     entitlement authority (for the House only), and Social 
     Security outlays (for the Senate only) among each committee 
     of the Senate and the House of Representatives that has 
     jurisdiction over legislation providing those amounts. 
     Section 602 further requires these allocations to include an 
     allocation for the fiscal year covered by the resolution, as 
     well as for the total for all 5 years covered by the 
     resolution. These allocations provide the basis for 
     congressional enforcement of the resolution through points of 
     order under the Congressional Budget Act. These allocations 
     follow:

                            Report Language

       The conferees intend that, to the extent that this 
     conference report does not modify it, language in the reports 
     of the House and Senate Committees on the Budget on the 
     concurrent resolution on the budget (H.R. Rep. No. 428, 103d 
     Cong., 2d Sess. (1994); S. Rep. No. 238, 103d Cong., 2d Sess. 
     (1994)) remains as a source of legislative history on the 
     drafters' intent on the concurrent resolution.


                function 750: administration of justice

       The conferees recognize the judiciary's essential role in 
     providing justice to all citizens and the ever-increasing 
     workload and additional responsibilities thrust upon the 
     judiciary. The conferees understand that the judiciary has no 
     control over the number of cases that are filed in the 
     courts, that it must handle each case filed, and that it has 
     no flexibility in how quickly it must handle many of these 
     cases.
       The conferees recommend that the Appropriations Committee 
     consider full funding for the judiciary even though the 
     allocation for function 750 may not accommodate all of the 
     requests in this area.
       Finally, the conferees support adding three activities of 
     the Federal judiciary to the list of Budget Enforcement Act 
     mandatory accounts if any budget process changes are made 
     this year: (1) Salaries of Court of Federal Claims and 
     magistrate judges; (2) Fees paid to jurors; and (3) 
     Compensation paid to court-appointed counsel for defendants 
     financially unable to retain their own counsel. Under current 
     legislative requirements, the judiciary has no discretion 
     whether to perform these activities if the constitutional 
     rights of individuals are to be assured.


                        function 920: allowances

       The conferees are concerned that proposed reductions in the 
     fiscal year 1995 pay adjustments may further undermine the 
     goal of achieving pay comparability within the timeframe 
     established by the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 
     1990. The conferees will work with the appropriate 
     authorizing and appropriating committees to find acceptable 
     alternative methods to fully fund the pay adjustments, such 
     as a reduction in agency spending on service contracts.
       The conferees believe that indirect cost reimbursements are 
     an important, legitimate and necessary cost of conducting 
     research, and the conference agreement does not include the 
     proposed ``pause.'' The conferees recommend that prior to 
     taking any action on indirect costs, the Congress should 
     await the joint report of the Office of Science and 
     Technology Policy, the Office of Management and Budget, and 
     the Council of Economic Advisors.

                          Economic Assumptions

       Section 301(g)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act requires 
     the joint explanatory statement accompanying a conference 
     report on a budget resolution to set forth the common 
     economic assumptions upon which the joint statement and 
     conference report are based. The conference agreement is 
     based on the economic forecast and projections prepared by 
     the Congressional Budget Office shown in the table below:

                                              ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS

                     Display of Levels and Amounts

       Following the form of the resolution for fiscal years 1993 
     and 1994, the Senate amendment sets forth a number of 
     alternative displays. Section 5 of the Senate amendment 
     displays, for enforcement purposes in the Senate, the levels 
     of Social Security revenues and outlays. Section 6(21) of the 
     Senate amendment shows the levels of gross interest 
     consistent with the levels of net interest shown in major 
     functional category 900, which appear in section 6(19) and 
     6(20) of the Senate amendment. As well, the Senate amendment 
     follows the pattern of the budget resolution for fiscal years 
     1993 and 1994 in terms of demonstrating its compliance with 
     the maximum deficit amount and its display of the Medicare 
     Hospital Insurance Trust Fund. The House resolution contains 
     none of these additional displays. In these regards, the 
     conference agreement follows the form of the resolution for 
     fiscal years 1993 and 1994 for the reasons set forth in the 
     conference report accompanying the 1993 budget resolution. 
     See H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 529, 102d Cong., 2d Sess. 58-60 
     (1992); see also S. Rep. No. 238, 103d Cong., 2d Sess. 46-48 
     (1994). With respect to other alternative displays in 
     sections 3 and 4 of the Senate amendment, the Senate recedes 
     to the House.
       Following the form of resolutions for years prior to fiscal 
     year 1994, the House resolution contains levels and amounts 
     for secondary loan guarantee commitments. Following the form 
     of the resolution for fiscal year 1994, the Senate amendment 
     failed to set forth these levels and amounts. On this matter, 
     the House recedes to the Senate.

                          Budgetary Procedures

       Title II of the resolution sets forth budgetary procedures 
     under the general authority of section 301(b)(4) of the 
     Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
       At the end of title II, section 26 of the Senate amendment 
     explicitly states that the Congress adopts the provisions of 
     title II as an exercise of the Constitutional rule-making 
     power. The language of section 26 follows closely that of 
     similar provisions in other rule-making budget process 
     legislation, such as section 904(a) of the Congressional 
     Budget Act, section 271(d) of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings, section 
     13305 of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, and section 
     14004 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.
       Section 26(1) spells out that the provisions of title II 
     have equal weight with those of the other rule-making budget 
     process legislation. They are all rules of the Congress, or 
     of the House of Congress to which they specifically apply.
       Section 26(2) makes clear that either the Senate or the 
     House of Representatives may change the provisions of title 
     II that relate to that House, just as either may change the 
     provisions of the other rule-making budget process 
     legislation cited above that relate to that House, through a 
     simple resolution passed by only that one House. 
     Alternatively, Congress could choose to change these 
     provisions using another concurrent resolution or a statute.
       The House resolution contains no such provision.
       Section 28 of the conference agreement contains the Senate 
     language.


                       SALE OF GOVERNMENT ASSETS

       Section 21 of the Senate amendment sets out a provision on 
     asset sales that is very similar to those in every budget 
     resolution since that for fiscal year 1988.
       This section is intended to prevent spending the proceeds 
     from asset sales by prohibiting the counting of asset sales 
     for all purposes of the Congressional Budget Act and this 
     resolution. This provision is consistent with section 257(e) 
     of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings, which prohibits the counting of 
     asset sales for the purposes of determining whether that Act 
     calls for across-the-board cuts. This section does not 
     preclude asset sales; it merely prevents counting such 
     transactions. The provision does not determine whether an 
     action constitutes an asset sale; rather it adopts the 
     definition of that term that exists in current law. (See 
     Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Sec. Sec. 250(c)(21) & 257(e).)
       The House resolution has no such provision.
       The conference agreement adopts the Senate language, except 
     that the conference agreement drops as surplusage subsection 
     (b) of the Senate amendment, which sets forth a finding 
     regarding the history of similar provisions.
       The operative provision, subsection (c) of the Senate 
     amendment and subsection (b) of the conference agreement, 
     follows the language from last year's budget resolution in 
     that it extends the prohibition of counting asset sales to 
     all sections of the Congressional Budget Act, as well as to 
     the points of order created by this resolution. The conferees 
     thus intend the rule on asset sales to be uniform for the 
     consideration of all legislation.
       This section supersedes any previously adopted scorekeeping 
     rules of the Senate or the House (for example, the 
     Congressional Budget Act definition of ``outlays'') to the 
     extent that they were inconsistent.
       Section 21(e) of the Senate amendment, now section 21(d) of 
     the conference agreement, sunsets all prior subsections of 
     section 21 on September 30, 1998, the date on which most 
     operative sections of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings will expire under 
     current law. The conferees thus intend that the asset-sales 
     rule established in the resolution have the same longevity as 
     the parallel rule in section 257(e) of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings.
       Section 21(f) of the Senate amendment, now section 21(e) of 
     the conference agreement, repeals sections of prior budget 
     resolutions dealing with the same subject matter. Some of 
     these provisions differ from those of section 21 in small 
     ways, and thus repealing the older provisions will eliminate 
     any ambiguity in interpreting section 21.


              social security ``fire wall'' point of order

       Section 22 of the Senate amendment repeats a provision from 
     the last two budget resolutions that reinforces the Social 
     Security ``fire wall'' point of order in the Senate to ensure 
     that 60-vote hurdles impede legislation that would worsen the 
     Social Security Trust Fund balances.
       The House resolution contains no such provision.
       The conference agreement includes the provision for the 
     reasons stated in the Senate report. See S. Rep. No. 238, 
     103d Cong., 2d Sess. 51-53 (1994). The conference agreement 
     drops as surplusage subsection (a) of the Senate amendment, 
     which sets forth a finding regarding the history of similar 
     provisions.


                        enforcing pay-as-you-go

       Section 12(c) of last year's budget resolution contained a 
     new 60-vote point of order in the Senate prohibiting 
     legislation that would increase the deficit through fiscal 
     year 2003. The Senate amendment proposes that Congress again 
     this year adopt a point of order in the Senate enforcing 
     deficit neutrality for the next 10 years. Section 23 of the 
     Senate amendment establishes that point of order.
       The Senate amendment thus proposes to extend the point of 
     order longer than under existing law. The point of order in 
     last year's resolution went through fiscal year 2003. Section 
     23 of the Senate amendment covers 10 years out, and will 
     cover 10 years out next year, the year after that, and the 
     year after that.
       The Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on 
     Taxation have both informed the Committees on the Budget that 
     they are incapable of making year-by-year estimates for the 
     6th through 10th years out. The solution to this dilemma 
     proposed by the Senate amendment is to require deficit 
     neutrality over the 5-year period of the 6th through 10th 
     years out.
       Section 23(c)(1) of the Senate amendment provides the 
     operative enforcement language. As the report of the Senate 
     Budget Committee makes clear (see S. Rep. No. 238, 103d 
     Cong., 2d Sess. 54-55 (1994)), section 23(c)(1) of the Senate 
     amendment makes it out of order in the Senate to consider any 
     direct-spending or receipts legislation that would increase 
     the deficit in any of three specified periods both when taken 
     individually and when taken together with all direct-spending 
     and receipts legislation enacted after enactment of the 
     Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (enacted August 10, 
     1993). If the individual piece of legislation would not 
     increase the deficit in one of the relevant time periods, 
     then it would not violate section 23(c)(1) of the Senate 
     amendment. This practice of holding harmless a piece of 
     legislation that does not harm the deficit parallels the 
     treatment extended to legislation of that character under 
     current law under sections 302(f)(2) and 311(a) of the 
     Congressional Budget Act.
       As well, if the piece of legislation would not increase the 
     deficit in any of the three relevant periods when taken 
     together with all direct-spending and receipts legislation 
     enacted after enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation 
     Act of 1993, then it would not violate section 23(c)(1) of 
     the Senate amendment. This practice of allowing one piece of 
     legislation to use the surplus created by other legislation 
     of the same type also parallels the treatment under sections 
     302(f)(2) and 311(a) of the Congressional Budget Act, as well 
     as accounting under the pay-as-you-go procedures of section 
     252 of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings.
       The three time periods covered by section 23 of the Senate 
     amendment are the first fiscal year covered by the most-
     recently-adopted concurrent resolution on the budget, the 
     period of the 5 fiscal years covered by the most-recently-
     adopted concurrent resolution on the budget, and the period 
     of the 5 fiscal years following the first 5 years covered by 
     the most-recently-adopted concurrent resolution on the 
     budget. Increasing the deficit in any of these three time 
     periods is sufficient to trigger the point of order.
       Section 23(c)(2) of the Senate amendment defines direct-
     spending and receipts legislation consistently with the 
     treatment of that legislation under section 252(b) of Gramm-
     Rudman-Hollings. Section 23(c)(3)(D) of the Senate amendment 
     explicitly links direct spending to the definition of that 
     term in section 250(c)(8) of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings. 
     Consequently, because section 13301 of the Budget Enforcement 
     Act of 1990 explicitly excludes Social Security from Gramm-
     Rudman-Hollings, Social Security is also excluded from the 
     point of order under section 23.
       Section 23(f) of the Senate amendment restates the normal 
     budget law scorekeeping convention that Congress turns to its 
     Budget Committees to assess the costs of legislation. See 
     Congressional Budget Act Sec. Sec. 201(g), 302(g), 310(d)(4), 
     311(c), 313(e), 601(b)(3) & Gramm-Rudman-Hollings 
     Sec. 258B(h)(4).
       The House resolution contains no such provision.
       The conference agreement proposes as section 23 language 
     similar to that of section 23 of the Senate amendment.
       The conference agreement drops as surplusage subsection (b) 
     of the Senate amendment, which sets forth a finding regarding 
     the history of similar provisions.
       The conference agreement revises the operative language of 
     subsection (c) of the Senate amendment as subsection (b) of 
     the conference agreement. Some observers believed that the 
     language of the Senate amendment could be clearer regarding 
     the availability of any surplus that had been created by 
     prior legislation since the enactment of the 1993 
     reconciliation law. Cf. 140 Congressional Record S3843 (daily 
     ed. Mar. 25, 1994) (statements of Sens. Moynihan & Sasser 
     clarifying that the surplus is available). The conference 
     agreement rewrites this subsection to make plain that such 
     surplus funds are available. This merely restates the 
     explicit intent of the Senate amendment. See S. Rep. No. 238, 
     103d Cong., 2d Sess. 54-55 (1994).
       The conference agreement also rewrites subsection (c)(2)(D) 
     of the Senate amendment as subsection (b)(3)(F) of the 
     conference agreement to make clear that (except as otherwise 
     provided in subsection (b)) the term ``direct spending'' 
     means the same thing as that term means as applied for 
     purposes of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings law. The conferees thus 
     wish to refer not only to section 250(c)(8) of that law as 
     such (as the Senate amendment did), but also to the gloss put 
     on that section by scorekeeping guideline 3 (H.R. Conf. Rep. 
     No. 964, 101st Cong., 2d Sess. 1173 (1990), reprinted in 1990 
     U.S.C.C.A.N. 2374, 2878) and other, related scorekeeping 
     practices.
       Section 23(b)(4) of the conference agreement also spells 
     out that in preparing estimates under this section, the 
     estimators shall use the same baseline as Congress used for 
     the most recent budget resolution. Recognizing that this 
     resolution probably will cover only 5 years, subsection 
     (b)(4) then extends this baseline out for years beyond those 
     covered by the budget resolution, using the requirements of 
     section 257 of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings, which defines the 
     baseline for that law. Subsection (b)(4) makes clear that 
     references to ``outyears'' in section 257 of Gramm-Rudman-
     Hollings should be read for purposes of subsection (b)(4) to 
     include the second through tenth years out, not just the 
     second through fifth years out.


                ENFORCING DISCRETIONARY SPENDING LIMITS

       Section 25 of the Senate amendment effectively reduces the 
     amount of money that the budget resolutions for fiscal year 
     1996, 1997, and 1998 may allocate to the Appropriations 
     Committees. It does this by reducing the discretionary 
     spending limits under section 601(a)(2)(F) of the 
     Congressional Budget Act as amended by section 14002(a)(2) of 
     the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, as those 
     limits are adjusted, for purposes of a new point of order 
     that applies only in the Senate. Section 25(a)(2) of the 
     Senate amendment creates this point of order. Section 25(b) 
     establishes a requirement for the affirmative vote of 60 
     Senators to waive this new point of order.
       Section 25 of the Senate amendment parallels section 12(b), 
     (d), (e), and (f) of last year's budget resolution, which 
     extended the appropriations caps through fiscal years 1996, 
     1997, and 1998. The drafters of section 12 of last year's 
     budget resolution in turn patterned that section on several 
     sections of the Congressional Budget Act. Consequently, 
     section 25(a)(2)(A) of the Senate amendment is in turn 
     patterned on section 601(b)(1) of the Congressional Budget 
     Act as amended by section 14002(b) of the Omnibus Budget 
     Reconciliation Act of 1993. Section 25(a)(2)(B) of the Senate 
     amendment is in turn patterned on section 601(b)(4) of the 
     Congressional Budget Act. Sections 25(b) and 25(c) of the 
     Senate amendment are in turn patterned on sections 904(c) and 
     904(d) of the Congressional Budget Act, respectively. Section 
     25(d) of the Senate amendment restates the normal budget law 
     scorekeeping convention that Congress turns to its Budget 
     Committees to assess the costs of legislation, and is thus 
     patterned on Congressional Budget Act sections 201(g), 
     302(g), 310(d)(4), 311(c), 313(e), and 601(b)(3), and Gramm-
     Rudman-Hollings section 258B(h)(4).
       The House resolution contains no such provision.
       The conference agreement includes as section 24 a revision 
     of the language in section 25 of the Senate amendment.
       The conference agreement revises the reductions in the 
     discretionary spending limits as follows:

               REDUCTIONS IN DISCRETIONARY SPENDING LIMITS              
                        [In billions of dollars]

    Outlays............................        5.4        2.4       0.5 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Among other changes, the conference agreement revises 
     references in subsections (a) and (d) that might have been 
     read to apply the section to the House of Representatives.


             INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE COMPLIANCE INITIATIVE

       Section 54 of the Senate amendment allows for additional 
     appropriations for an Internal Revenue Service compliance 
     initiative. If the Congress appropriates the base amounts 
     requested for the Internal Revenue Service in the President's 
     Budget for fiscal year 1995 and a variety of other conditions 
     are met, then Congress can also appropriate additional 
     amounts for a compliance initiative without triggering points 
     of order that might otherwise lie against such legislation.
        Under sections 54(a) and 54(b) of the Senate amendment, 
     upon the reporting of an appropriation bill funding the 
     compliance initiative and the satisfaction of the conditions 
     listed, the Chairman of the appropriate Budget Committee must 
     file revised appropriations caps, allocations to the 
     Appropriations Committee, functional levels, and aggregates 
     to clear the way for the incremental spending for the 
     initiative. This procedure parallels that used in reserve 
     funds (discussed below), which allow deficit-neutral 
     legislation to proceed without points of order even if that 
     legislation pays for direct spending with revenues. 
     Similarly, section 54 of the Senate amendment allows 
     appropriations legislation to proceed without points of order 
     if it is demonstrated that the revenues raised by those 
     appropriations would offset the costs of the appropriations.
       The first parenthetical language in the matter after 
     subsection (a)(3) establishes the first condition precedent, 
     that the Congress appropriate the base amounts requested for 
     the Internal Revenue Service in the President's Budget for 
     fiscal year 1995. Subsection (d) lists the other conditions: 
     enactment of a Taxpayer Bill of Rights 2, initiation of an 
     Internal Revenue Service educational program as mandated by 
     the Taxpayer Bill of Rights 1 and 2, a finding by the 
     Congressional Budget Office that by virtue of revenues 
     raised, the appropriations will not increase the deficit, and 
     a restriction of funds made available pursuant to this 
     authority to carrying out Internal Revenue Service compliance 
     initiative activities.
       The House resolution contains no such provision.
       The conference agreement contains as section 25 a provision 
     similar to that in section 54 of the Senate amendment. In 
     particular, section 25(a)(2) of the conference agreement more 
     explicitly spells out the condition precedent that Congress 
     first appropriate the base amounts requested for the Internal 
     Revenue Service in the President's Budget for fiscal year 
     1995 before the provisions of this section apply. Similarly, 
     the conference agreement revises subsection (d), which sets 
     forth the other conditions precedent.


                     DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUNDS

       Section 4 of the House resolution provides for adjustment 
     of the aggregates and committee allocations to accommodate 
     health care reform legislation, when reported, if the 
     legislation would be deficit neutral over 5 years. Section 24 
     of the Senate amendment provides similar language, called a 
     ``reserve fund,'' allowing consideration of legislation in 
     the Senate addressed to several specified priority areas, if 
     the legislation would be deficit neutral over 1 and 5 years. 
     In the Senate, reserve funds may pave the way for tax-cutting 
     legislation paid for with spending cuts, new spending 
     legislation paid for with taxes, or spending legislation paid 
     for with cuts in another committee's jurisdiction. See S. 
     Rep. No. 238, 103d Cong., 2d Sess. 34-36 (1994)).
       Section 26 of the conference agreement contains reserve 
     fund language for the House similar to that in the House 
     resolution and section 27 of the conference agreement 
     contains reserve fund language for the Senate similar to that 
     in the Senate amendment.
       The Senate reserve fund language in the conference 
     agreement collapses without substantive change several 
     subsections into a smaller number of paragraphs, eliminating 
     the repetition of language. With three minor exceptions, the 
     conferees intend that the conference agreement language shall 
     have identical effect to the Senate-passed language.
       In addition to the provisions covered by the Senate 
     amendment, the conference agreement adds a general provision 
     to allow adjustments of budget authority in the Senate where 
     legislation would result in absolutely no increase in outlays 
     over the applicable periods. Such provisions necessarily do 
     not worsen the deficit. An example of such legislation in the 
     past is the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act 
     of 1991, for which the Chairman of the Budget Committee filed 
     two budget authority adjustments. See 137 Cong. Rec. S18,663 
     (daily ed. Nov. 27, 1991); id. at S7511-12 (daily ed. June 
     11, 1991).
       Like the Senate amendment, the Senate reserve fund language 
     in the conference agreement requires the Chairman of the 
     Budget Committee to submit revised allocations and aggregates 
     to accommodate amendments relating to health care reform, if 
     the Chairman has already submitted revised allocations and 
     aggregates to accommodate a committee-reported bill. The 
     conference agreement makes clear that the Chairman is 
     required to make such submissions only when the amendment 
     necessitates such a submission. In other words, if the 
     amendment would not violate the revised allocations and 
     aggregates already submitted, the Chairman need not submit 
     new ones. If, however, an amendment deals with the 
     appropriate subject matter and is deficit neutral over the 
     appropriate time periods, but would nonetheless cause a 
     breach of a revised allocation or aggregate, the Chairman 
     must submit further revised allocations and aggregates to 
     accommodate that amendment.
       Finally, the conference agreement changes the treatment of 
     the reserve fund for health care (described in subsection 
     (b)(2)(B) of the conference agreement) to make clear that the 
     language allows tax-cutting legislation paid for with 
     spending cuts (as well as spending legislation paid for with 
     new taxes, or spending legislation paid for with cuts in 
     another committee's jurisdiction, or any combination). The 
     conference agreement thus lists that purpose in subsection 
     (b)(2), among purposes for which spending cuts may pay for 
     tax cuts, rather than in subsection (b)(1), which lists 
     purposes for which spending cuts may not pay for tax cuts.
       Because the provisions of these Senate reserve funds are 
     part of the congressional budget, they apply only to budget 
     authority, outlays, and receipts to which a budget resolution 
     may permissibly apply. Consequently, these reserve funds do 
     not apply to Social Security outlays or Social Security 
     revenues, which section 13301(a)(2) of the Budget Enforcement 
     Act of 1990 explicitly excludes from the congressional 
     budget.

              Sense of the Congress and Similar Provisions

       The House resolution contains four sense of the Congress 
     provisions, on budget process legislation (section 5), a 
     reserve for emergencies (section 8), unfunded mandates 
     (section 9), and baselines (section 10). The House resolution 
     also contains two sense of the Budget Committee provisions, 
     on scoring health reform (section 6) and immigration (section 
     7).
       The Senate amendment contains 11 sense of the Congress 
     provisions, on the budgetary accounting of health care reform 
     (section 31), the costs of illegal immigration (section 32), 
     baselines (section 33), economic assumptions (section 34), 
     unfunded Federal mandates (section 35), the Indian Health 
     Service (section 38), the minimum allocation program (section 
     41), Federal law enforcement personnel (section 45), minerals 
     management (section 48), Star Wars (section 51), and shifting 
     the allocation of anti-drug funds from international anti-
     drug programs to drug treatment and prevention programs 
     (section 53). The Senate amendment also contains 13 sense of 
     the Senate provisions, on foreign tax provisions (section 
     36), tax expenditures (section 37), the National Aeronautics 
     and Space Administration (section 39), the Spending Reduction 
     Commission (section 40), payments to United Nations of United 
     States arrearages in contributions for peacekeeping 
     activities (section 42), Eastern and Central Europe (section 
     43), Federal courthouse construction (section 44), that taxes 
     not be increased because taxpayers are married (section 46), 
     Department of Energy reductions-in-force (section 47), diesel 
     fuel dyeing regulations (section 49), equitable distribution 
     of reductions in defense and non-defense discretionary 
     spending (section 50), growth of entitlement or mandatory 
     spending (section 52), and controlling non-Social Security 
     mandatory spending (section 55).
       The conference agreement contains seven sense of the 
     Congress provisions on: controlling entitlement spending 
     (section 31), budgetary accounting of health care reform 
     (section 34), the costs of illegal immigration (section 35), 
     baselines (section 36), unfunded federal mandates (section 
     37), health service delivery and water infrastructure in the 
     Indian Health Service (section 40), and policy in Eastern and 
     Central Europe (section 43).
       The conference agreement also contains six sense of the 
     Senate provisions on: controlling non-Social Security 
     mandatory spending (section 33), closing loopholes in foreign 
     tax provisions (section 38), tax expenditures (section 39), 
     the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (section 
     41), the minimum allocation program (section 42), and Star 
     Wars (section 44).
       The conference agreement contains one sense of the House of 
     Representatives provisions on the enactment of budget process 
     legislation (section 32).

                     Public Debt Limit in the House

       Rule XLIX of the Rules of the House of Representatives 
     establishes a procedure for changing the statutory limit on 
     the level of the public debt.
       This budget resolution sets forth the appropriate level of 
     the statutory limit for the coming fiscal year, 1995, as well 
     as the outyears. Under House Rule XLIX, upon adoption by both 
     Houses of Congress of a conference report on a budget 
     resolution containing a debt level for the next fiscal year, 
     the public debt limit for that year is incorporated into the 
     text of a joint resolution. Pursuant to the rule, that joint 
     resolution would amend section 3101(b) of title 31, United 
     States Code, by striking out the dollar limitation contained 
     in such subsection and replacing it with the figure of 
     $4,965,100,000,000.
       Under the rule, that joint resolution is then deemed passed 
     by the House and sent to the Senate for its consideration. If 
     the Senate approves the joint resolution without amendment, 
     the joint resolution is sent to the President for his 
     signature. (If the Senate were to amend the joint resolution, 
     the measure would be returned to the House for further 
     action.)
       Legislative jurisdiction over the public debt remains in 
     the Committee on Ways and Means. The rule does not preclude 
     that committee from originating public debt legislation.
