     individual State legislators on issues other than the amount 
     of spending by the State; and
       (2) the ability of Congress to conduct effective oversight 
     of the Executive branch and the ability of individual Members 
     of Congress effectively to represent their constituents both

     the amount appropriated for individual parts of Congress 
     (such as Members' staff, committees' staff, the General 
     Accounting Office, the Congressional Budget Office, the 
     Office of the Legislative Counsel of the House, the Office of

     subsection (b), the rescission of any budget authority 
     provided in an appropriation Act or repeal of any targeted 
     tax benefit provided in any revenue Act. If the President

     limit set forth in section 601(a)(2) of the Congressional 
     Budget Act of 1974 by an amount that does not exceed the 
     amount of the proposed rescission. Funds made available for

     proposed to be rescinded for each program, project, or 
     activity to which that budget authority relates or the 
     targeted tax benefit proposed to be repealed, as the case may 
     be. A targeted tax benefit may only be proposed to be 
     repealed under this section during the 10-legislative-day 
     period commencing on the day after the date of enactment of 
     the provision proposed to be repealed.

      budget authority under this section shall send a separate 
     special message and accompanying draft bill for accounts 
     within the jurisdiction of each such subcommittee.

     upon the objects, purposes, and programs for which the budget 
     authority is provided.

       ``(D) Except to the extent specifically provided in the 
     preceding provisions of this subsection, consideration of a 
     bill under this section shall be governed by the Rules of the
