                 LEAHY (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 1170

  Mr. EXON (for Mr. Leahy, for himself, Mr. Baucus, and Mr. Wellstone) 
proposed an amendment to the concurrent resolution, Senate Concurrent 
Resolution 13, supra; as follows:

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC.  . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE NUTRITIONAL HEALTH 
                   OF CHILDREN.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) Federal nutrition programs, such as the school lunch 
     program, the school breakfast program, the special 
     supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and 
     children (referred to in this section as ``WIC''), the child 
     and adult care food program, and others, are important to the 
     health and well-being of children;
       (2) participation in Federal nutrition programs is 
     voluntary on the part of States, and the programs are 
     administered and operated by every State;
       (3) a major factor that led to the creation of the school 
     lunch program was that a number of the recruits for the 
     United States armed forces in World War II failed physical 
     examinations due to problems related to inadequate nutrition;
       (4)(A) WIC has proven to be extremely valuable in promoting 
     the health of newborn babies and children; and
       (B) each dollar invested in the prenatal component of WIC 
     has been shown to save up to $3.50 in medicaid costs related 
     to medical problems that arise in the first 90 days after the 
     birth of an infant;
       (5) the requirement that infant formula be purchased under 
     a competitive bidding system under section 17 of the Child 
     Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786) saved $1,000,000,000 
     in fiscal year 1994 and enabled States to allow 1,600,000 
     women, infants, and children to participate in WIC at no 
     additional cost to taxpayers; and
       (6) a balanced Federal budget will provide economic 
     benefits to children alive today and to future generations of 
     Americans.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the assumptions underlying the functional totals in this 
     resolution include the assumptions that--
       (1) schools should continue to serve lunches that meet 
     minimum nutritional requirements based on tested nutritional 
     research;
       (2) the content of WIC food packages for infants, children, 
     and pregnant and postpartum women should continue to be based 
     on scientific evidence;
       (3) the competitive bidding system for infant formula under 
     section 17 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 
     1786) should be maintained;
       (4) foods of minimum nutritional value should not be sold 
     in competition with school lunches in the school cafeterias 
     during lunch hours;
       (5) some reductions in nutrition program spending can be 
     made without compromising the nutritional well-being of 
     program recipients;
       (6) in complying with the reconciliation instructions in 
     section 6 of this resolution, the Committee on Agriculture, 
     Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate should take this 
     section into account; and
       (7) Congress should continue to move toward fully funding 
     the WIC program.
                                 ______


                        LEAHY AMENDMENT NO. 1171

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

       At the end of title III of the resolution, add the 
     following new section:

     SEC.  . SENSE OF THE SENATE ON MAINTAINING FEDERAL FUNDING 
                   FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) Federal, State, and local law enforcement officers 
     provide essential services that preserve and protect our 
     freedoms and security;
       (2) law enforcement officers deserve our appreciation and 
     support;
       (3) law enforcement officers and agencies are under 
     increasing attacks, both to their physical safety and to 
     their reputations;
       (4) on April 7, 1995, the Senate passed S.J. Res. 32 in 
     which the Senate recognizes the debt of gratitude the Nation 
     owes to the men and women who daily serve the American people 
     as law enforcement officers and the integrity, honesty, 
     dedication, and sacrifice of our Federal, State, and local 
     law enforcement officers;
       (5) the Nation's sense of domestic tranquility has been 
     shaken by explosions at the World Trade Center in New York 
     and the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City and by the 
     fear of violent crime in our cities, towns, and rural areas 
     across the nation;
       (6) Federal, State, and local law enforcement efforts need 
     increased financial commitment from the Federal Government 
     and not the reduction of such commitment to law enforcement 
     if law enforcement officers are to carry out their efforts to 
     combat violent crime; and
       (7) on April 5, 1995, and May 18, 1995, the House of 
     Representatives has nonetheless voted to reduce 
     $5,000,000,000 from the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund in 
     order to provide for tax cuts in both H.R. 1215 and H. Con. 
     Res. 67.
       (b) Sense of the Senate--It is the sense of the Senate that 
     the assumptions underlying the functional totals in this 
     resolution assume that the Federal Government's commitment to 
     fund Federal law enforcement programs and programs to assist 
     State and local efforts should be maintained and funding for 
     the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund should not be reduced 
     by $5,000,000,000 as the bill and resolution passed by the 
     House of Representatives would require.
                                 ______

       (a) Adjustments.--
       (1) In general.--For purposes of points of order under the

     concurrent resolutions on the budget--
       (A) the discretionary spending limits under section

     appropriate and the appropriate budgetary aggregates in the 
     most recently agreed to concurrent resolution on the budget; 
     and
       (D) the maximum deficit amount under section 601(a)(1) of 
     that Act (and that amount as cumulatively adjusted) for the 
     current fiscal year,

     shall be adjusted to reflect the amount of additional new 
     budget authority or additional outlays (as defined in 
     paragraph (2)) reported by the Committees on Appropriations 
     of the Senate and the House of Representatives in 
     appropriation Acts (or by the committee of conference on such 
     legislation) for the Health Care Financing Administration 
     medicare payment safeguards programs (as compared to the base 
     level of $396,300,000 for new budget authority) that the 
     Congressional Budget Office has determined will result in a 
     return on investment to the Government of at least 4 dollars 
     for each dollar invested.
       (2) Additional amounts.--As used in this section, the term 
     ``additional new budget authority'' or ``additional outlays'' 
     (as the case may be) means, for any fiscal year, budget

     categories that are appropriate and the appropriate budgetary 
     aggregates in the most recently agreed to concurrent 
     resolution on the budget;

     to carry out this subsection. These revised discretionary 
     spending limits, allocations, functional levels, and 
     aggregates shall be considered for purposes of congressional 
     enforcement under that Act as the discretionary spending 
     limits, allocations, functional levels, and aggregates.
       (c) Reporting Revised Allocations.--The Committees on 
     Appropriations of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     may report appropriately revised allocations pursuant to 
     sections 302(b) and 602(b) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
     1974 to carry out this section.
       (d) Application of Section.--This section shall not apply 
     to any additional budget authority or additional outlays

     certifies, based on the information from the Congressional 
     Budget Office, the General Accounting Office, the Health Care 
     Financing Administration (as well as any other sources deemed 
     relevant), that such budget authority or outlays will not 
     increase the total of the Federal budget deficits over the 
     next 5 years; and
       (2) any funds made available pursuant to such budget 
     authority or outlays are available only for the purpose of

and Mr. Simon) proposed an amendment to the concurrent resolution, 
Senate Concurrent Resolution 13, supra; as follows:

       At the end of the resolution, insert the following new 
     section:

     SEC.   . NEED TO ENACT LONG TERM HEALTH CARE REFORM.

       It is the Sense of the Senate that the 104th Congress 
     should enact fundamental long-term health care reform that 
     emphasizes cost-effective, consumer oriented, and consumer-
     directed home and community-based care that builds upon 
     existing family supports and achieves deficit reduction by 
     helping elderly and disabled individuals remain in their own 
     homes and communities.

               HARKIN (AND LAUTENBERG) AMENDMENT NO. 1174

     SEC.  . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING LOSSES CAUSED BY USE OF 
                   TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
     estimates that tobacco products impose a $20,000,000,000 cost 
     per year on Federal health programs like medicare and 
     medicaid through tobacco-related illnesses;
       (2) tobacco products are unlike any other product legally 
     offered for sale because even when used as intended they 
     cause death and disease; and
       (3) States such as Florida, Mississippi, Minnesota, and 
     West Virginia are currently taking action to recover State 
     costs associated with tobacco-related illnesses.
       (b) Sense of the Senate--It is the sense of the Senate that 
     any proposal by the Committee on Finance of the Senate to 
     reduce Federal spending on medicare and medicaid as required 
     by Senate Concurrent Resolution 13 should include a proposal 
     to recover from tobacco companies a portion of the costs 
     their products impose on American taxpayers and Federal 
     health programs including medicare and medicaid.

     major assumptions under budget function 270, none of the 
     power marketing administrations within the 48 contiguous 
     States will be sold, and any savings that were assumed would

     administrations will be realized through cost reductions in

     SEC.   . DEFENSE OVERHEAD.

       (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

     provides discretionary spending in excess of the 
     discretionary spending limits for such fiscal year; or
       (B) any appropriations bill or resolution (or amendment, 
     motion, or conference report on such appropriations bill or 
     resolution) for fiscal year 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 
     2000, 2001, or 2002 that would exceed any of the 
     discretionary spending limits in this section or 
     suballocations of those limits made pursuant to section 
     602(b) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
       (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 
     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 
     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 
     section, the levels of new budget authority, outlays, new 
     entitlement authority, and revenues for a fiscal year shall 
     be determined on the basis of estimates made by the Committee 
     on the Budget of the Senate.

     SEC. 202. EXTENSION OF PAY-AS-YOU-GO POINT OF ORDER.

       (a) Purpose.--The Senate declares that it is essential to--
       (1) ensure continued compliance with the balanced budget

       (b) Point of Order.--
       (1) In general.--It shall not be in order in the Senate to

     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 paragraph (4).
       (2) Applicable time periods.--For purposes of this 
     subsection, the term ``applicable time period'' means any one

     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

     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
       (C) exclude--
       (i) any concurrent resolution on the budget; and
       (ii) 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.
       (4) Baseline.--Estimates prepared pursuant to this section 
     shall--
       (A) use the baseline used for the most recent concurrent 
     resolution on the budget, and for years beyond those covered 
     by that concurrent resolution; and
       (B) abide by the requirements of subsections (a) through 
     (d) of section 257 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
     Deficit Control Act of 1985, except that references to

     year (other than the budget year) covered by any one of the 
     time periods defined in paragraph (2) 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

     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

     shall expire September 30, 2002.

     SEC. 203. BUDGET SURPLUS ALLOWANCE.

       (a) Adjustments.--For the purposes of points of order under 
     the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 
     and this concurrent resolution on the budget, the appropriate 
     allocations and budgetary aggregates and levels shall be 
     revised to reflect the additional deficit reduction achieved 
     as calculated under subsection (c) for legislation that 
     reduces the adverse effects on medicare, medicaid, and 
     welfare reform in the following manner:
       (1) $60,000,000,000 shall be used for medicare legislation 
     which will reduce the adverse effects of--
       (A) increased premiums;
       (B) increased deductibles;
       (C) increased copayments;
       (D) limits on the freedom to select the doctor of one's 
     choice; and
       (E) reduced or eliminated benefits caused by restrictions 
     on eligibility or services. These additional medicare 
     appropriations shall be allocated among the various 
     components of the medicare program in a manner that maintains 
     the solvency of the Federal Hospital Insurance (FHI) Trust 
     Fund for the same time period established through program 
     revisions enacted in the 1995 budget reconciliation bill.
       (2) $50,000,000,000 shall be used for legislation that 
     reduces the adverse affects upon the elderly, disabled, and 
     children who have nowhere else to turn but medicaid for 
     health care.
       (3) $60,000,000,000 shall be used for legislation that 
     reduces the drastic cuts to welfare programs.
       (4) If the Congressional Budget Office scores this surplus 
     differently, than the amounts provided in paragraphs (1) 
     through (3) shall be increased or decreased proportionally.
       (b) Revised Allocations and Aggregates.--Upon the reporting 
     of legislation pursuant to subsection (a), and again upon the 
     submission of a conference report on such legislation (if a 
     conference report is submitted), the Chairman of the 
     Committee on Budget of the Senate may submit to the Senate 
     appropriately revised allocations under sections 302(a) and 
     602(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and levels 
     under this resolution, revised by an amount that does not 
     exceed the additional deficit reduction calculated under 
     subsection (d).
       (c) CBO Revised Deficit Estimate.--After the enactment of 
     legislation that complies with the reconciliation directives 
     of section 6, the Congressional Budget Office shall provide 
     the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate a 
     revised estimate of the deficit for fiscal years 1996 through 
     2005.
       (d) Additional Deficit Reduction.--For purposes of this 
     section, the term ``additional deficit reduction'' means the 
     amount by which the total deficit levels assumed in this 
     resolution for a fiscal year exceed the 
     [[Page S7540]] revised deficit estimate provided pursuant to 
     subsection (c) for such fiscal year for fiscal years 1996 
     through 2005.
       (e) CBO Certification and Contingencies.--This section 
     shall not apply unless--
       (1) legislation has been enacted complying with the 
     reconciliation directives of section 6;
       (2) the Director of the Congressional Budget Office has 
     provided the estimate required by subsection (c); and
       (3) the revisions made pursuant to this subsection do not 
     cause a budget deficit for fiscal year 2002, 2003, 2004, or 
     2005.

     SEC. 204. SCORING OF EMERGENCY LEGISLATION.

       Notwithstanding section 606(d)(2) of the Congressional 
     Budget Act of 1974 and beginning with fiscal year 1996, the 
     determinations under sections 302, 303, and 311 of such Act 
     shall take into account any new budget authority, new 
     entitlement authority, outlays, receipts, or deficit effects 
     as a consequence of the provisions of section 251(b)(2)(D) 
     and 252(e) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
     Control Act of 1985.

     SEC. 205. SALE OF GOVERNMENT ASSETS.

       (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) the prohibition on scoring asset sales has discouraged 
     the sale of assets that can be better managed by the private 
     sector and generate receipts to reduce the Federal budget 
     deficit;
       (2) the President's fiscal year 1996 budget included 
     $8,000,000,000 in receipts from asset sales and proposed a 
     change in the asset sale scoring rule to allow the proceeds 
     from these sales to be scored;
       (3) assets should not be sold if such sale would increase 
     the budget deficit over the long run; and
       (4) the asset sale scoring prohibition should be repealed 
     and consideration should be given to replacing it with a 
     methodology that takes into account the long-term budgetary 
     impact of asset sales.
       (b) Budgetary Treatment.--For purposes of any concurrent 
     resolution on the budget and the Congressional Budget and 
     Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the amounts realized from 
     sales of assets shall be scored with respect to the level of 
     budget authority, outlays, or revenues.
       (c) 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.
       (d) Treatment of Loan Assets.--For the purposes of this 
     section, the sale of loan assets or the prepayment of a loan 
     shall be governed by the terms of the Federal Credit Reform 
     Act of 1990.

     SEC. 206. EXTENSION OF BUDGET ACT 60-VOTE ENFORCEMENT THROUGH 
                   2002.

       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, 
     2002.

     SEC. 207. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS.

       The Senate adopts the provisions of this title--
       (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate, 
     and as such they shall be considered as part of the rules of 
     the Senate, 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 
     the Senate to change those rules (so far as they relate to 
     the Senate) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same 
     extent as in the case of any other rule of the Senate.
            TITLE III--SENSE OF THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE

     SEC. 301. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON REVENUE INSTRUCTION TO 
                   FINANCE COMMITTEE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) to balance the Federal budget in a rational and 
     reasonable manner, there must be a fair and equitable 
     distribution of the deficit reduction burden;
       (2) the plan under consideration in the Senate does not ask 
     the wealthy to contribute to deficit reduction;
       (3) the deficit reduction package approved by the Senate 
     Budget Committee would disproportionately affect those at 
     lower-income levels;
       (4) over the next 7 years, at current growth rates, tax 
     loopholes and preferences will result in a revenue loss to 
     the Federal Government of more than $4,000,000,000,000; and
       (5) the House Budget Committee had under consideration, but 
     did not include in its deficit reduction package, a list of 
     $335,000,000,000 in corporate tax loopholes.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the Senate Finance Committee, as part of this year's 
     reconciliation package, should limit or eliminate tax 
     loopholes that disproportionately benefit the wealthiest 
     individuals and the largest corporations in order to more 
     equitably distribute the burden of deficit reduction;
       (2) the Senate Finance Committee should give first priority 
     to closing corporate loopholes;
       (3) the Senate Finance Committee should also give priority 
     to closing loopholes that disproportionately benefit 
     Americans with incomes of $140,000 or more;
       (4) in no event should taxes go up on those making less 
     than $140,000; and
       (5) in no event should the Senate Committee on Finance 
     reduce deductions for home mortgage interest, charitable 
     contributions, or State and local taxes; and
       (6) in no event should the Senate Finance Committee raise 
     income tax rates for individuals.

     SEC. 302. RESTRUCTURING GOVERNMENT AND PROGRAM TERMINATIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that to balance the Federal 
     budget in a rational and reasonable manner requires an 
     assessment of national priorities and the appropriate role of 
     the Federal Government in meeting the challenges facing the 
     United States in the 21st century.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that to balance the budget the Congress should--
       (1) restructure Federal programs to meet identified 
     national priorities in the most effective and efficient 
     manner so that program dollars get to the intended purpose or 
     recipient;
       (2) terminate programs that have largely met their goals, 
     that have outlived their original purpose, or that have been 
     superseded by other programs;
       (3) seek to end significant duplication among Federal 
     programs, which results in excessive administrative costs and 
     ill serve the American people; and
       (4) eliminate lower priority programs.

     SEC. 303. NONPARTISAN ADVISORY COMMISSION ON THE CPI.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) Congress intended to insulate certain government 
     beneficiaries and taxpayers from the effects of inflation by 
     indexing payments and tax brackets to the Consumer Price 
     Index (CPI);
       (2) approximately 30 percent of total Federal outlays and 
     45 percent of Federal revenues are indexed to reflect changes 
     in the CPI; and
       (3) the overwhelming consensus among experts is that the 
     method used to construct the CPI and
      the current calculation of the CPI both overstate the 
     estimate of the true cost of living.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) a temporary advisory commission should be established 
     to make objective and nonpartisan recommendations concerning 
     the appropriateness and accuracy of the methodology and 
     calculations that determine the CPI;
       (2) the Commission should be appointed on a nonpartisan 
     basis, and should be composed of experts in the fields of 
     economics, statistics, or other related professions; and
       (3) the Commission should report its recommendations to the 
     Bureau of Labor Statistics and to Congress at the earliest 
     possible date.

     SEC. 304. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON A UNIFORM ACCOUNTING 
                   SYSTEM IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

       (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, encourages 
     already widespread 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 reported throughout all 
     government entities for control and management evaluation 
     purposes.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) 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; and [[Page S7541]] 
       (2) beginning with fiscal year 1997, the President should 
     require the heads of agencies to--
       (A) implement and maintain a uniform Federal accounting 
     system; and
       (B) 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.

     SEC. 305. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS THAT 90 PERCENT OF THE 
                   BENEFITS OF ANY TAX CUTS MUST 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) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that if the 1996 Concurrent Budget Resolution includes any 
     cut in taxes, approximately 90 percent of the benefits of 
     these tax cuts must go to working families with incomes less 
     than $100,000.

     SEC. 306. BIPARTISAN COMMISSION ON HEALTH CARE REFORM, 
                   MEDICARE AND MEDICAID COSTS, ACCESS AND 
                   SOLVENCY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the Health Insurance for the Aged Act, which created 
     the medicare program, was enacted on July 30, 1965, and, 
     therefore, the medicare program will celebrate its 30-year 
     anniversary on July 30, 1995;
       (2) on April 3, 1995, the Trustees of medicare submitted 
     their 1995 Annual Report on the Status of the medicare 
     program to the Congress;
       (3) the Trustees of medicare have concluded that ``the 
     medicare program is clearly unsustainable in its present 
     form'';
       (4) the Trustees of medicare have concluded that ``the 
     Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, which pays inpatient hospital 
     expenses, will be able to pay benefits for only about 7 years 
     and is severely out of financial balance in the long range'';
       (5) the Public Trustees of medicare have concluded that 
     ``the Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund shows a rate 
     of growth of costs which is clearly unsustainable'';
       (6) the Trustees of medicare have recommended ``legislation 
     to reestablish the Quadrennial Advisory Council that will 
     help lead to effective solutions to the problems of the 
     program'';
       (7) the Bipartisan Commission on Entitlement and Tax Reform 
     concluded that, absent long-term changes in medicare, 
     projected medicare outlays will increase from about 4 percent 
     of the payroll tax base today to over 15 percent of the 
     payroll tax base by the year 2030;
       (8) the Bipartisan Commission on Entitlement and Tax Reform 
     recommended, by a vote of 30 to 1, that spending and revenues 
     available for medicare must be brought into long-term 
     balance;
       (9) the Public Trustees of medicare have concluded that 
     ``We had hoped for several years that comprehensive health 
     reform would include meaningful medicare reforms. However, 
     with the results of the last Congress, it is now clear that 
     medicare reform needs to be addressed urgently as a distinct 
     legislative initiative''; and
       (10) the Public Trustees of medicare ``strongly recommend 
     that the crisis presented by the financial condition of the 
     medicare trust funds be urgently addressed on a comprehensive 
     basis, including a review of the programs's financing 
     methods, benefit provisions, and delivery mechanisms.''.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) a special bipartisan commission should be established 
     immediately to make recommendations concerning the most 
     appropriate response to the current health care crisis, and 
     the recommendations should include ways to address medicare 
     and medicaid costs, access and solvency issues and to reform 
     our current health care system;
       (2) the commission should report to Congress its 
     recommendations on the appropriate response to the short-term 
     solvency of medicare by July 10, 1995, in order that the 
     committees of jurisdiction may consider those recommendations

                       KENNEDY AMENDMENT NO. 1188

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

       At the appropriate place, insert the following new section:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING REDUCTIONS IN MEDICARE 
                   SPENDING.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) Medicare protection is as important as Social Security 
     protection in guaranteeing retirement security and is truly a 
     part of Social Security;
       (2) senior citizens have contributed throughout their 
     working lives to Medicare in the expectation of health 
     insurance protection when they retire;
       (3) because of gaps in Medicare coverage, senior citizens 
     already spend more than one dollar in five of their limited 
     incomes to purchase the health care that they need;
       (4) low and moderate-income senior citizens will suffer 
     most from Medicare cuts, since 83 percent of all Medicare 
     spending is for older Americans with annual incomes below 
     $25,000 and two-thirds is for those with annual incomes below 
     $15,000;
       (5) at the present time, Medicare only pays 68 percent of 
     what the private sector pays for comparable physicians' 
     services and 69 percent of what the private sector pays for 
     comparable hospital care;
       (6) piecemeal, budget-driven cuts in Medicare will only 
     shift costs from the Federal budget to the family budgets of 
     senior citizens and working Americans; [[Page S7542]] 
       (7) deep cuts in Medicare could damage the quality of 
     American medicine, by endangering hospitals and other health 
     care institutions that depend on Medicare, including rural 
     hospitals, inner-city hospitals, and academic health centers;
       (8) deep cuts in Medicare will make essential health care 
     less available to millions of uninsured Americans, by 
     endangering the financial stability of hospitals providing 
     such care; and
       (9) cuts in Medicare benefits should not be used to pay for 
     tax cuts for the wealthy.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the provisions of this concurrent resolution assume that 
     reductions in projected medicare spending included in the 
     reconciliation bill for fiscal year 1996 should not increase 
     medical costs such as premiums, deductibles, and coinsurance 
     or diminish access to health care for senior citizens, and 
     further, that major reductions in projected Medicare spending 
     should not be enacted by the Congress except in the context 
     of a broad, bipartisan health reform plan that will not--
       (1) increase costs or reduce access to care for senior 
     citizens;
       (2) shift costs to working Americans; or
       (3) damage the quality of American medicine.

                BINGAMAN (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 1191

  Mr. EXON (for Mr. Bingaman for himself, Mr. Jeffords, Mrs. Murray, 
and Mr. Harkin) proposed an amendment to Senate Concurrent Resolution 
13, supra; as follows:

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE PRIORITY THAT 
                   SHOULD BE GIVEN TO RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ENERGY 
                   EFFICIENCY RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND 
                   DEMONSTRATION ACTIVITIES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) section 1202 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (106 
     Stat. 2956), which passed the Senate 93 to 3 and was signed 
     into law by President Bush in 1992, amended section 6 of the 
     Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Technology 
     Competitiveness Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 12005) to direct the 
     Secretary of Energy to conduct a 5-year program to 
     commercialize renewable energy and energy efficiency 
     technologies;
       (2) poll after poll shows that the American people 
     overwhelmingly believe that renewable energy and energy 
     efficiency technologies should be the highest priority of 
     Federal research, development, and demonstration activities;
       (3) renewable technologies (such as wind, photovoltaic, 
     solar thermal, geothermal, and biomass technology) have made 
     significant progress toward increased reliability and 
     decreased cost;
       (4) energy efficient technologies in the building, 
     industrial, transportation, and utility sectors have saved 
     more than 3 trillion dollars for industries, consumers, and 
     the Federal Government over the past 20 years while creating 
     jobs, improving the competitiveness of the economy, making 
     housing more affordable, and reducing the emissions of 
     environmentally damaging pollutants;
       (5) the renewable energy and energy efficiency technology 
     programs feature private sector cost shares that are among 
     the highest of Federal energy research and development 
     programs;
       (6) according to the Energy Information Administration, the 
     United States currently imports more than 50 percent of its 
     oil, representing $46,000,000,000, or approximately 40 
     percent, of the $116,000,000,000 total United States 
     merchandise deficit in 1993; and
       (7) renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies 
     represent potential inroads for American companies into 
     export markets for energy products and services estimated at 
     least $225,000,000,000 over the next 25 years.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that 
     the assumptions underlying the functional totals in this 
     resolution include the assumption that renewable energy and 
     energy efficiency technology research, development, and 
     demonstration activities should be given priority among the 
     Federal energy research programs.
                                 ______

     to consider any concurrent resolution on the budget (or 
     amendment, motion, or conference report on such a resolution) 
     that does not include--
       (1) appropriate levels for the budget year and planning 
     levels for each of the 6 fiscal years following the budget 
     year for the total amount, if any, tax expenditures should be 
     increased or decreased by bills and resolutions to be

     shall include alternatives for allocating tax expenditures in 
     accordance with national priorities as required by section 
     202(f)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
       (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 
     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 
     section, the levels of new budget authority, outlays, new 
     entitlement authority, and revenues for a fiscal year shall 
     be determined on the basis of estimates made by the Committee 
     on the Budget of the Senate.

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING TAX RATES AND TAX 
                   LOOPHOLES.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) lower tax rates lead to increased economic activity and 
     increased economic opportunity;
       (2) lower tax rates lead to a more efficient economy, with 
     less tax avoidance and investment patterns that rely on 
     competitive market returns and not advantages produced by tax 
     law;
       (3) the tax code still retains billions of dollars worth of 
     special tax breaks which are available to only limited groups 
     of taxpayers and investors;
       (4) federal policy should encourage the development of 
     fully competitive markets and not create unique advantages 
     for individual investors, companies or industries.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the Congress should, to the maximum extent practible, 
     remove tax loopholes;
       (2) the Congress should use the savings from the closing of 
     special interest tax loopholes to reduce tax rates broadly 
     for all classes of taxpayers.

       At the end of title III, insert the following:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING TAX EXPENDITURES.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the Committee on 
     Finance, in meeting its reconciliation instructions for 
     revenue, will limit or eliminate excessive and unnecessary 
     tax expenditures, including those tax expenditures which 
     provide special tax treatment to a single taxpayer or to a 
     group of taxpayers.

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE DELIVERY OF 
                   VETERANS' SERVICES.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the assumptions 
     underlying the functional totals [[Page S7545]] in this 
     resolution relating to Veterans' programs include the 
     assumption that the delivery of Veterans' Services will 
     continue to be improved, including further progress in the 
     timely delivery of such services.

     in the fiscal year immediately preceding the prior fiscal 
     year); and

     aggregates may be reduced and other appropriate allocations 
     and budgetary aggregates and levels shall be revised to 
     reflect the additional deficit reduction achieved as 
     calculated under subsection (c) for legislation that reduces 
     the adverse effects on medicare, medicaid, and welfare reform 
     in the following manner:
       (1) $50,000,000,000 shall be used for legislation that

     conference report is submitted), the Chairman of the 
     Committee on Budget of the Senate may submit to the Senate 
     appropriately revised allocations under sections 302(a) and

       (c) CBO Revised Deficit Estimate.--After the enactment of 
     legislation that complies with the reconciliation directives 
     of section 6, the Congressional Budget Office shall provide

     estimate provided pursuant to subsection (c) for such fiscal 
     year for fiscal years 1996 through 2005.
       (e) CBO Certification and Contingencies.--This section

            TITLE III--SENSE OF THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE

     SEC. 301. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON REVENUE INSTRUCTION TO 
                   FINANCE COMMITTEE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) to balance the Federal budget in a rational and 
     reasonable manner, there must be a fair and equitable 
     distribution of the deficit reduction burden;
       (2) the plan under consideration in the Senate does not ask 
     the wealthy to contribute to deficit reduction;
       (3) the deficit reduction package approved by the Senate 
     Budget Committee would disproportionately affect those at 
     lower-income levels;
       (4) over the next 7 years, at current growth rates, tax 
     loopholes and preferences will result in a revenue loss to 
     the Federal Government of more than $4,000,000,000,000; and
       (5) the House Budget Committee had under consideration, but 
     did not include in its deficit reduction package, a list of 
     $335,000,000,000 in corporate tax loopholes.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the Senate Finance Committee, as part of this year's 
     reconciliation package, should limit or eliminate tax 
     loopholes that disproportionately benefit the wealthiest 
     individuals and the largest corporations in order to more 
     equitably distribute the burden of deficit reduction;
       (2) the Senate Finance Committee should give first priority 
     to closing corporate loopholes;
       (3) the Senate Finance Committee should also give priority 
     to closing loopholes that disproportionately benefit 
     Americans with incomes of $140,000 or more;
       (4) in no event should taxes go up on those making less 
     than $140,000; and
       (5) in no event should the Senate Committee on Finance 
     raise income tax rates on individuals or reduce deductions 
     for home mortgage interest, charitable contributions, or 
     State and local taxes.

     SEC. 302. RESTRUCTURING GOVERNMENT AND PROGRAM TERMINATIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that to balance the Federal 
     budget in a rational and reasonable manner requires an 
     assessment of national priorities and the appropriate role of 
     the Federal Government in meeting the challenges facing the 
     United States in the 21st century.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that to balance the budget the Congress should--
       (1) restructure Federal programs to meet identified 
     national priorities in the most effective and efficient 
     manner so that program dollars get to the intended purpose or 
     recipient;
       (2) terminate programs that have largely met their goals, 
     that have outlived their [[Page S7552]] original purpose, or 
     that have been superseded by other programs;
       (3) seek to end significant duplication among Federal 
     programs, which results in excessive administrative costs and 
     ill serve the American people; and
       (4) eliminate lower priority programs.

     SEC. 303. NONPARTISAN ADVISORY COMMISSION ON THE CPI.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) Congress intended to insulate certain government 
     beneficiaries and taxpayers from the effects of inflation by 
     indexing payments and tax brackets to the Consumer Price 
     Index (CPI);
       (2) approximately 30 percent of total Federal outlays and 
     45 percent of Federal revenues are indexed to reflect changes 
     in the CPI; and
       (3) the overwhelming consensus among experts is that the 
     method used to construct the CPI and
      the current calculation of the CPI both overstate the 
     estimate of the true cost of living.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) a temporary advisory commission should be established 
     to make objective and nonpartisan recommendations concerning 
     the appropriateness and accuracy of the methodology and 
     calculations that determine the CPI;
       (2) the Commission should be appointed on a nonpartisan 
     basis, and should be composed of experts in the fields of 
     economics, statistics, or other related professions; and
       (3) the Commission should report its recommendations to the 
     Bureau of Labor Statistics and to Congress at the earliest 
     possible date.

     SEC. 304. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON A UNIFORM ACCOUNTING 
                   SYSTEM IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

       (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, encourages 
     already widespread 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 reported throughout all 
     government entities for control and management evaluation 
     purposes.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) 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; and
       (2) beginning with fiscal year 1997, the President should 
     require the heads of agencies to--
       (A) implement and maintain a uniform Federal accounting 
     system; and
       (B) 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.

     SEC. 305. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS THAT 90 PERCENT OF THE 
                   BENEFITS OF ANY TAX CUTS MUST 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) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that if the 1996 Concurrent Budget Resolution includes any 
     cut in taxes, approximately 90 percent of the benefits of 
     these tax cuts must go to working families with incomes less 
     than $100,000.

     SEC. 306. BIPARTISAN COMMISSION ON HEALTH CARE REFORM, 
                   MEDICARE AND MEDICAID COSTS, ACCESS AND 
                   SOLVENCY.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the Health Insurance for the Aged Act, which created 
     the medicare program, was enacted on July 30, 1965, and, 
     therefore, the medicare program will celebrate its 30-year 
     anniversary on July 30, 1995;
       (2) on April 3, 1995, the Trustees of medicare submitted 
     their 1995 Annual Report on the Status of the medicare 
     program to the Congress;
       (3) the Trustees of medicare have concluded that ``the 
     medicare program is clearly unsustainable in its present 
     form'';
       (4) the Trustees of medicare have concluded that ``the 
     Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, which pays inpatient hospital 
     expenses, will be able to pay benefits for only about 7 years 
     and is severely out of financial balance in the long range'';
       (5) the Public Trustees of medicare have concluded that 
     ``the Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund shows a rate 
     of growth of costs which is clearly unsustainable'';
       (6) the Trustees of medicare have recommended ``legislation 
     to reestablish the Quadrennial Advisory Council that will 
     help lead to effective solutions to the problems of the 
     program'';
       (7) the Bipartisan Commission on Entitlement and Tax Reform 
     concluded that, absent long-term changes in medicare, 
     projected medicare outlays will increase from about 4 percent 
     of the payroll tax base today to over 15 percent of the 
     payroll tax base by the year 2030;
       (8) the Bipartisan Commission on Entitlement and Tax Reform 
     recommended, by a vote of 30 to 1, that spending and revenues 
     available for medicare must be brought into long-term 
     balance;
       (9) the Public Trustees of medicare have concluded that 
     ``We had hoped for several years that comprehensive health 
     reform would include meaningful medicare reforms. However, 
     with the results of the last Congress, it is now clear that 
     medicare reform needs to be addressed urgently as a distinct 
     legislative initiative''; and
       (10) the Public Trustees of medicare ``strongly recommend 
     that the crisis presented by the financial condition of the 
     medicare trust funds be urgently addressed on a comprehensive 
     basis, including a review of the programs's financing 
     methods, benefit provisions, and delivery mechanisms.''.
       (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that--
       (1) a special bipartisan commission should be established 
     immediately to make recommendations concerning the most 
     appropriate response to the current health care crisis, and 
     the recommendations should include ways to address medicare 
     and medicaid costs, access and solvency issues and to reform 
     our current health care system;
       (2) the commission should report to Congress its 
     recommendations on the appropriate response to the short-term 
     solvency of medicare by July 10, 1995, in order that the 
     committees of jurisdiction may consider those recommendations 
     in fashioning an appropriate congressional response; and
       (3) the commission should report its recommendations to 
     respond to the Public Trustees' call to make medicare's 
     financial condition sustainable over the long term to 
     Congress by February 1, 1996.
                                 ______
