     thereof) of either House shall contain a line item entitled 
     `Deficit Reduction Lock-box'.
       ``(b) Whenever the Committee on Appropriations of either 
     House reports an appropriation bill, that bill shall contain 
     a line item entitled `Deficit Reduction Account' comprised of 
     the following:
       ``(1) Only in the case of any general appropriation bill 
     containing the appropriations for Treasury and Postal Service 
     (or resolution making continuing appropriations (if 
     applicable)), an amount equal to the amounts by which the 
     discretionary spending limit for new budget authority and

     appropriation bills for the same fiscal year, an amount not 
     to exceed the amount by which the section 602(a) allocation 
     of new budget authority exceeds the sum of all new budget 
     authority provided by appropriation bills enacted for that 
     fiscal year plus that supplemental appropriation bill (as 
     reported by that committee).
       ``(c) It shall not be in order for the Committee on Rules 
     of the House of Representatives to report a resolution that 
     restricts the offering of amendments to any appropriation 
     bill adjusting the level of budget authority contained in a 
     Deficit Reduction Account.
       ``(d) Whenever a Member of either House of Congress offers 
     an amendment (whether in subcommittee, committee, or on the 
     floor) to an appropriation bill to reduce spending, that 
     reduction shall be placed in the deficit reduction lock-box 
     unless that Member indicates that it is to be utilized for 
     another program, project, or activity covered by that bill. 
     If the amendment is agreed to and the reduction was placed in 
     the deficit reduction lock-box, then the line item entitled 
     `Deficit Reduction Lock-box' shall be increased by the amount 
     of that reduction. Any amendment pursuant to this subsection

     Reduction Lock-box provision that is beyond the scope of
      that provision as so committed to the conference committee.
       ``(f) It shall not be in order to offer an amendment 
     increasing the Deficit Reduction Lock-box Account unless the 
     amendment increases rescissions or reduces appropriations by 
     an equivalent or larger amount, except that it shall be in 
     order to offer an amendment increasing the amount in the 
     Deficit Reduction Lock-box by the amount that the appropriate 
     602(b) allocation of new budget authority exceeds the amount 
     of new budget authority provided by that bill.

     spending limit for new budget authority for any fiscal year 
     set forth in section 601(a)(2) of the Congressional Budget 
     Act of 1974, as adjusted in strict conformance with section 
     251 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act 
     of 1985, shall be reduced by the amount of budget authority 
     transferred to the Deficit Reduction Lockbox for that fiscal 
     year under section 314 of the Budget Control and Impoundment 
     Act of 1974. The adjusted discretionary spending limit for 
     outlays for that fiscal year and each outyear as set forth in 
     such section 601(a)(2) shall be reduced as a result of the 
     reduction of such budget authority, as calculated by the 
     Director of the Office of Management and Budget based upon 
     such programmatic and other assumptions set forth in the 
     joint explanatory statement of managers accompanying the

     shall be rescinded upon reductions in discretionary limits 
     pursuant to subsection (a).

     the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 is amended to read as 
     follows:
       ``(e) Changes in Suballocations.--(1) After a committee 
     reports suballocations under subsection (b), that committee 
     may report a resolution to its House changing its 
     suballocations, which resolution shall not take effect unless 
     adopted by that House.
       ``(2) A resolution reported to the House of Representatives 
     under paragraph (1) shall be placed on the Union Calendar and 
     be privileged for consideration in the Committee of the Whole 
     after the report on the resolution has been available to 
     Members for at least three calendar days (excluding 
     Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays). After general debate 
     which shall not exceed one hour to be equally divided and 
     controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
     committee reporting the resolution, the resolution shall be 
     considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. No 
     amendment shall be in order in the House or in the Committee 
     of the Whole except amendments in the nature of a substitute 
     containing changes in suballocations under subsection (b) 
     which do not breach any allocation made under subsection (a). 
     Priority in recognition for offering the first such amendment 
     shall 

[[Page H 7259]]
     be accorded to the chairman of the Committee on the Budget or a 
     designee. No amendments to such amendments shall be in order 
     except substitute amendments. Following the consideration of 
     the resolution for amendment, the Committee shall rise and 
     report the resolution to the house together with any 
     amendment that may have
      been adopted. The previous question shall be considered as 
     ordered on the resolution to final adoption without 
     intervening motion. It shall not be in order to consider a 
     motion to reconsider the vote by which the resolution is 
     agreed to or disagreed to.''.
       (b) Section 602(B)(1) Amendment.--The last sentence of 
     section 602(b)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 is 
     amended by striking ``or revised''.
