Concurrent Resolution 13, supra; as follows:

       On page 89, strike lines 1 through 17 and insert the 
     following:

     SEC. 306. PROHIBITION OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD INCLUDE A TAX 
                   CUT UNLESS 90 PERCENT OF THE BENEFITS GO TO THE 
                   MIDDLE CLASS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) the incomes of middle-class families have stagnated 
     since the early 1980's, with family incomes growing more 
     slowly between 1979 and 1989 than in any other business cycle 
     since World War II; and
       (2) according to the Department of the Treasury, in 1996, 
     approximately 90 percent of American families will have 
     incomes less than $100,000.
       (b) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, motion, or 
     conference report that contains a reduction in revenues 
     unless at least 90 percent of the benefits of that reduction 
     goes to working families with annual incomes less than 
     $100,000.
       (c) Appeals.--Appeals in the Senate from decisions of the 
     Chair relating to 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 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.
       (d) Congressional Budget Office Reports.--Whenever the 
     Director of the Congressional Budget Office shall prepare a 
     report pursuant to section 308 of the Congressional Budget 
     Act of 1974 in connection with a bill, resolution, or 
     conference report that contains a reduction in revenues, the 
     Director shall so state in that report, and, to the extent 
     practicable, shall include an estimate of the amount of the 
     reduction in revenues and the percent of the benefits of that 
     reduction in revenue that will go to working families with 
     annual incomes less than $100,000.
       (e) Estimates.--Solely for the purposes of enforcement of 
     this section on the Senate floor, the percentage of benefits 
     of a reduction in revenues going to working families with 
     annual incomes less than $100,000 shall be determined on the 
     basis of estimates made by the Congressional Budget Office.
       (f) Sunset.--This section shall expire at the close of the 
     104th Congress.
                                 ______

  Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, the Kerry amendment reduces the 
reconciliation [[Page S7393]] instructions to the Rules Committee by 
the amount attributable to repeal of the existing system of public 
financing and spending limits for Presidential campaigns, which the 
Rules Committee would be able to meet only by repealing that system. In 
order to offset the budget effect of reducing the instructions to the 
Rules Committee to save the amount of funding attributable to the 
Presidential public financing system, the amendment will leave a 
requirement for the same amount of savings in Function 800--general 
government--without specifying how the savings are to be achieved, but 
will lower the nondefense discretionary caps beginning in 1999 by the 
equivalent amount. This will have the effect of giving the 
responsibility to the Appropriations Committee beginning in that year 
to allocate the aggregate amount of approximately $250 million over the 
period covered by the budget resolution to administrative and overhead 
savings in various Federal agencies, leaving the judgment to the 
Appropriations Committee as to which agencies, for what Function 800 
purposes, and in what amounts to allocate the spending reductions.
  This leaves the deficit reduction effects of the budget resolution 
unchanged. It means that this amendment is not subject to a point of 
order.
                                                                    ____

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the major discretionary assumptions in this concurrent 
     budget resolution include 15 percent reduction in overhead 
     for programs of nondefense agencies that remain funded in the 
     budget and whose funding is not interconnected with receipts 
     dedicated to a program;
       (2) the Committee Report (104-82) on this concurrent budget 
     resolution states that ``this assumption would not reduce 
     funding for the programmatic activities of agencies.''
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the Committees on Armed Services and Appropriations 
     should make a reduction of at least three percent in overhead 
     for Fiscal Year 1996 programs of defense agencies, and should 
     do so in a manner so as not to reduce funding for the 
     programmatic activities of these agencies.

     directed by the amendments made by the Omnibus Budget 
     Reconciliation Act of 1993 for fiscal years 1996 through 1999

     system of the United States; and
       (E) provides air service to 108 communities in 30 States;

       (2) the National Commission to Ensure a Strong Competitive 
     Airline Industry established under section 204 of the Airport 
     and Airway Safety, Capacity, Noise Improvement, and 
     Intermodal Transportation Act of 1992 recommended maintaining 
     the essential air service program with a sufficient level of 
     funding to continue to provide air service to small 
     communities.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the essential air service program of the Department of 
     Transportation under subchapter II of chapter 417 of title 
     49, United States Code, should receive a sufficient level of 
     funding to continue to provide air service to small rural 
     communities that qualify for assistance under the program.

       (A) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) Much effort has been devoted to strengthening Federal 
     internal accounting controls in the past. Although progress 
     has been made in recent years,
      there still exists no uniform Federal accounting system for 
     Federal Government entities and institutions.
       (2) As a result, Federal financial management continues to 
     be seriously deficient, and Federal financial management and 
     fiscal practices have failed to identify costs, failed to 
     reflect the total liabilities of congressional actions, and 
     failed to accurately report the financial condition of the 
     Federal Government.
       (3) Current Federal accounting practices do not adequately 
     report financial problems of the Federal Government or the 
     full cost of programs and activities. The continued use of 
     these practices undermines the Government's ability to 
     provide credible and reliable financial data, contributes to 
     waste and inefficiency, and will not assist in achieving a 
     balanced budget.
       (4) Waste and inefficiency in Federal Government undermine 
     the confidence of the American people in the Government and 
     reduces the Federal Government's ability to address 
     adequately vital public needs.
       (5) To rebuild the accountability and credibility of the 
     Federal Government and restore public confidence in the 
     Federal Government, a uniform Federal accounting system, that 
     fully meets the accounting standards and reporting objectives 
     for the Federal Government, must be immediately established 
     so that all assets and liabilities, revenues and expenditures 
     or expenses, and the full cost of programs and activities of 
     the Federal Government can be consistently and accurately 
     recorded, monitored, and uniformly 
     [[Page S7395]] reported throughout all government entities 
     for budgeting and control and management evaluation purposes.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the assumptions underlying the functional totals in this 
     resolution include the following assumptions:
       (1) Uniform federal accounting system.--(A) A uniform 
     Federal accounting system should be established to 
     consistently compile financial data across the Federal 
     Government, and to make full disclosure of Federal financial 
     data, including the full cost of Federal programs and 
     activities, to the citizens, the Congress, the President, and 
     agency management.
       (B) Beginning with fiscal year 1997, the President should 
     require the heads of agencies to--
       (i) implement and maintain a uniform Federal accounting 
     system; and
       (ii) provide financial statements;

     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 
     applied on a consistent basis and established in accordance 
     with proposed Federal accounting standards and 
     interpretations recommended by the Federal Accounting 
     Standards Advisory Board and other applicable law.
       (2) Nonpartisan advisory commission on accounting and 
     budgeting.--(A) A temporary advisory commission should be 
     established to make objective and nonpartisan recommendations 
     for the appropriate treatment of capital expenditures under a 
     uniform Federal accounting system that is consistent with 
     generally accepted accounting principles.
       (B) The Commission should be appointed on a nonpartisan 
     basis, and should be composed of public and private experts 
     in the fields of finance, economics, accounting, and other 
     related professions.
       (C) The Commission should report to the President and the 
     Congress by August 1, 1995, on its recommendations, and 
     should include in its report a detailed plan for implementing 
     such recommendations.

       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the Sense of Congress: the 
     reforms and proposals contained within the Independent Budget 
     for Veterans Affairs, Fiscal Year 1996 should be given 
     careful consideration in an effort to ensure the nation's 
     commitment to its veterans.

                BINGAMAN (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 1162

  Mr. EXON (for Mr. Bingaman, for himself, Mr. Lieberman, Mr. 
Rockefeller, Mr. Biden, Mr. Hollings, Mr. Byrd, Mr. Kerry, Mr. Dodd, 
Mr. Pryor, and Mr. Glenn) proposed an amendment to the concurrent

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE ON THE IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH, 
                   TECHNOLOGY, AND TRADE PROMOTION AND TRADE LAW 
                   ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the public welfare, economy, and national security of 
     the United States have benefited enormously from the 
     investments the Federal Government has made over the past 
     fifty years in research, technology, and trade promotion and 
     trade law enforcement;
       (2) these investments are even more important at the dawn 
     of the twenty-first century [[Page S7398]] in order to ensure 
     that future generations of Americans can remain at the 
     forefront of exploring the endless scientific and 
     technological frontier in the face of ever greater challenges 
     from abroad and thereby maintain and improve their health, 
     standard of living, and national security; and
       (3) enforcement of United States trade laws and promotion 
     of United States exports, especially programs in support of 
     small and medium sized businesses, serve an invaluable 
     function in creating jobs, promoting national economic 
     growth, and allowing American workers and businesses to have 
     the resources to compete in an ever more competitive global 
     economy.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that, in the assumptions for the overall accounts, it is 
     assumed that--
       (1) in allocating discretionary spending in fiscal years 
     1996 through 2002 within the discretionary spending limits 
     established in section 201, the Committee on Appropriations 
     will make it a high priority to maintain the overall fiscal 
     year 1995 investment level (without adjustment for inflation) 
     in research, technology and trade promotion, and trade law 
     enforcement programs; and
       (2) the conferees on the concurrent budget resolution will 
     not agree to any revenue reductions below current law unless 
     the discretionary spending limit established in the 
     conference report will permit the Committee on Appropriations 
     to achieve the goal established in paragraph (1).

                       MURRAY AMENDMENT NO. 1163

  Mr. EXON (for Mrs. Murray) proposed an amendment to the concurrent 
resolution, Senate Concurrent Resolution 13, supra; as follows:

       On page 79, between lines 3 and 4, insert the following:

     SEC.  . PROHIBITION OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD DEPRIVE 
                   CHILDREN OF THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE UNDER 
                   MEDICAID.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, motion, or 
     conference report that would cause children eligible to 
     receive benefits under Medicaid (whether currently or in the 
     future) to lose any of those benefits.
       (b) Waiver.--This section may be waived or suspended in the 
     Senate by a majority vote of the Members voting, a quorum 
     being present, or by the unanimous consent of the Senate.
       (c) Appeals.--Appeals in the Senate from the decisions of 
     the Chair relating to 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 resolution, as the 
     case may be. An affirmative vote of a majority 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 provision.
       (d) Congressional Budget Office Reports.--Whenever the 
     Director of the Congressional Budget Office prepares a report 
     pursuant to section 308 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
     1974 in connection with a bill, resolution, or conference 
     report that the Director believes would cause children 
     eligible to receive benefits under Medicaid (whether 
     currently or in the future) to lose any of those benefits, 
     the Director shall so state in that report and, to the extent 
     practicable, shall include an estimate of the number of 
     children eligible to receive benefits under Medicaid (whether 
     currently or in the future) who would lose any of those 
     benefits as a result of that legislation.
       (e) Estimates.--Solely for the purposes of enforcement of 
     this section in the Senate, the number of children eligible 
     to receive benefits under Medicaid shall be determined on the 
     basis of estimates made by the Committee on the Budget of the 
     Senate.

                 MURRAY (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 1164

  Mr. EXON (for Mrs. Murray for herself, Mr. Daschle, Mr. Pressler, Mr. 
Akaka, Mrs. Hutchison, Mr. Levin, Mr. Bingaman, Mr. Pell, Mr. Dorgan, 
Mr. Baucus, Mr. Kerrey, Mr. Exon, Mrs. Kassebaum, and Mr. Kempthorne) 
proposed an amendment to the concurrent resolution, Senate Concurrent 
Resolution 13, supra; as follows:

       At the end of title III, insert the following:

     SEC.  . SENSE OF THE SENATE.

       (A) Findings.--The Senate finds as follows:
       (1) In order to fulfill its responsibility to communities 
     that were adversely affected by Federal activities, the 
     Congress established the Impact Aid program in 1950.
       (2) The Impact Aid program is intended to ease the burden 
     on local school districts for educating children who live on 
     Federal property. Since Federal property is exempt from local 
     property taxes, such districts are denied the primary source 
     of revenue used to finance elementary and secondary 
     education. Most Impact Aid payments are made for students 
     whose parents are in the uniformed services, or for students 
     who reside on Indian lands or in federally subsidized low-
     rent housing projects. Over 1,600 local educational agencies 
     enrolling over 17,000,000 children are provided assistance 
     under the Impact Aid program.
       (3) The Impact Aid program is one of the few Federal 
     education programs where funds are sent directly to the 
     school district. Such funds go directly into the general fund 
     and may be used as the local educational agency decides.
       (4) The Impact Aid program covers less than half of what it 
     costs to educate each federally connected student in some 
     school districts, requiring local school districts or States 
     to provide the remainder.
       (5) Added to the burden described in paragraph (4) is the 
     fact that some States do not rely upon an income tax for 
     State funding of education. In these cases, the loss of 
     property tax revenue makes State and local education funding 
     even more difficult to obtain.
       (6) Given the serious budget constraints facing State and 
     local governments it is critical that the Federal Government 
     continue to fulfill its responsibility to the federally 
     impacted school districts in our Nation's States.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that in the assumptions for the overall accounts it is 
     assumed that--the Federal Government has a financial 
     responsibility to schools in our Nation's communities which 
     are adversely affected by Federal activities and that funding 
     for such responsibilities should not be reduced or 
     eliminated.

                        PELL AMENDMENT NO. 1165

  Mr. EXON (for Mr. Pell) proposed an amendment to the concurrent 
resolution, Senate Concurrent Resolution 13, supra; as follows:

       At the end of title III, insert the following:

     SEC.   . STUDENT LOAN CUTS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) in the 20th century, educational increases in the 
     workforce accounted for 30 percent of the growth in our 
     Nation's wealth, and advances in knowledge accounted for 55 
     percent of such growth;
       (2) the Federal Government provides 75 percent of all 
     college financial aid;
       (3) the Federal student loan program was created to make 
     college accessible and affordable for the middle class;
       (4) increased fees and interest costs discourage college 
     participation by making higher education more expensive, and 
     more of a risk, for students and their families;
       (5) full-time students already work an average of 25 hours 
     per week, taking time away from their studies; and
       (6) student indebtedness is already increasing rapidly, and 
     any reduction of the in-school interest subsidy will increase 
     the indebtedness burden on students and families.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the assumptions underlying the functional totals in this 
     resolution assume the Labor and Human Resources Committee, in 
     seeking to achieve mandatory savings, should not increase the 
     cost of borrowing for students participating in the Robert T. 
     Stafford Federal Student Loan Program.
                                 ______

     SEC.  . SENSE OF THE SENATE.

       It is the Sense of the Senate that the assumptions 
     underlying the functional totals in this resolution include 
     that the increased revenues resulting from the revision of 
     the expatriate tax loophole should be used to eliminate the 
     earnings penalty imposed on low and middle income senior 
     citizens receiving social security.
