                        GRAMM AMENDMENT NO. 4009

  Mr. GRAMM proposed an amendment to the concurrent resolution (S. Con. 
Res. 57) supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE CONGRESS THAT THE 1993 INCOME TAX 
                   INCREASE ON SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS SHOULD BE 
                   REPEALED.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that the assumptions 
     underlying this resolution include that--
       (1) the Fiscal Year 1994 budget proposal of President 
     Clinton to raise federal income taxes on the Social Security 
     benefits of senior citizens with income as low as $25,000, 
     and those provisions of the Fiscal Year 1994 recommendations 
     of the Budget Resolution and the 1993 Omnibus Budget 
     Reconciliation Act in which the 103rd Congress voted to raise 
     federal income taxes on the Social Security benefits of 
     senior citizens with income as low as $34,000 should be 
     repealed;
       (2) that the Senate Budget Resolution should reflect 
     President Clinton's statement that he believed he raised 
     federal taxes too much in 1993; and
       (3) That the Budget Resolution should react to President 
     Clinton's Fiscal Year 1997 budget which documents the fact 
     that in the history of the United States, the total tax 
     burden has never been greater than it is today, therefore
       It is the Sense of the Congress that the assumptions 
     underlying this Resolution include--
       (1) that raising federal income taxes in 1993 on the Social 
     Security benefits of middle-class individuals with income as 
     low as $34,000 was a mistake;
       (2) that the federal income tax hike on Social Security 
     benefits imposed in 1993 by the 103rd Congress and signed 
     into law by President Clinton should be repealed; and
       (3) President Clinton should work with the Congress to 
     repeal the 1993 federal income tax hike on Social Security 
     benefits in a manner that would not adversely affect the 
     Social Security Trust Fund or the Medicare Part A Trust Fund, 
     and should ensure that such repeal is coupled with offsetting 
     reductions in federal spending.

                        BROWN AMENDMENT NO. 4010

  Mr. BROWN proposed an amendment to the concurrent resolution

  (S. Con. Res. 57) supra; as follows:

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING CAPPING FEDERAL 
                   RETIREMENT COLAS.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the assumptions 
     underlying the functional totals in this resolution assume 
     that there should be a COLA for only that portion of 
     individual civilian and military pension levels that do not 
     exceed $75,000 per year.

  Ms. SNOWE proposed an amendment to the concurrent resolution, (S. 
Con. Res. 57) supra; as follows:

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) over the last 60 years, education and advancements in 
     knowledge have accounted for 37% of our nation's economic 
     growth.
       (2) a college degree significantly increases job stability, 
     resulting in an unemployment rate among college graduates 
     less than half that of those with high school diplomas.
       (3) a person with a bachelor's degree will average 50-55% 
     more in lifetime earnings than a person with a high school 
     diploma.
       (4) education is a key to providing alternatives to crime 
     and violence, and is a cost effective strategy for breaking 
     cycles of poverty and moving welfare recipients to work.
       (5) a highly educated populace is necessary to the 
     effective functioning of democracy and to a growing economy, 
     and the opportunity to gain a college education helps advance 
     the American ideals of progress and social equality.
       (6) a highly educated and flexible work force is an 
     essential component of economic growth and competitiveness.
       (7) for many families, federal student aid programs make 
     the difference in the ability of students to attend college.
       (8) in 1994, nearly 6 million postsecondary students 
     received some kind of financial assistance to help them pay 
     for the costs of schooling.
       (9) since 1988, college costs have risen by 54%, and 
     student borrowing has increased by 219%.
       (10) in fiscal year 1996, the Balanced Budget Act achieved 
     savings without reducing student loan limits or increasing 
     fees to students or parents.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the aggregates and functional levels included in this 
     budget resolution assume that savings in student loans can be 
     achieved without any program change that would increase costs 
     to students and parents or decrease accessibility to student 
     loans.

       (A) a revision of this resolution or any concurrent

     section, the levels of new budget authority, outlays, new

     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.--

     applicable time periods as measured in paragraphs (5) and 
     (6).
       (2) Applicable time periods.--For purposes of this 
     subsection the term ``applicable time period'' means any one

     through (d) of section 257 of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 for fiscal years beyond 
     those covered by that concurrent resolution on the budget.
       (6) Prior surplus.--If direct spending or revenue 
     legislation increases the deficit when taken individually, 
     then it must also increase the deficit when taken together 
     with all direct spending and revenue legislation enacted 
     since the beginning of the calendar year not accounted for in 
     the baseline under paragraph (5)(A), except that the direct 
     spending or revenue effects resulting from legislation

                                 ______


                  DOLE (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 4019

  Mr. DOMENICI (for Mr. Dole, Mr. Hatch, and Mr. Helms) proposed an 
amendment to the concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 57) supra; as 
follows:

       The Senate finds that:
       drug use is devastating to the nation, particularly among 
     juveniles, and has led juveniles to become involved in 
     interstate gangs and to participate in violent crime;
       drug use has experienced a dramatic Resurgence among our 
     youth:
       the number of youths aged 12-17 using marijuana has 
     increased from 1.6 million in 1992 to 2.9 million in 1994, 
     and the category of ``recent marijuana use'' increased a 
     staggering 200% among 14 to 15-year-olds over the same 
     period;
       The Senate finds that:
       since 1992, there has been a 52% jump in the number of high 
     school seniors using drugs on a monthly basis, even as 
     worrisome declines are noted in peer disapproval of drug use;
       1 in 3 high school students uses marijuana;
       12 to 17-year-olds who use marijuana are 85% more likely to 
     graduate to cocaine than those who abstain from marijuana;
       juveniles who reach 21 without ever having used drugs 
     almost never try them later in life;
       the latest results from the Drug Abuse Warning Network show 
     that marijuana-related episodes jumped 39% and are running at 
     155% above the 1990 level, and that methamphetamine cases 
     have risen 256% over the 1991 level;
       between February 1993 and February 1995 the retail price of 
     a gram of cocaine fell from $172 to $137, and that of a gram 
     of heroin also fell from $2,032 to $1,278;
       it has been reported that the Department of Justice, 
     through the United States Attorney for the Southern District 
     of California, has adopted a policy of allowing certain 
     foreign drug smugglers to avoid prosecution altogether by 
     being released to Mexico;
       it has been reported that in the past year approximately 
     2,300 suspected narcotics traffickers were taken into custody 
     for bringing illegal drugs across the border, but 
     approximately one in four were returned to their country 
     of origin without being prosecuted;
       it has been reported that the U.S. Customs Service is 
     operating under guidelines limiting any prosecution in 
     marijuana cases to cases involving 125 pounds of marijuana or 
     more;
       it has been reported that suspects possessing as much as 32 
     pounds of methamphetamine and 37,000 Quaalude tablets, were 
     not prosecuted but were, instead, allowed to return to their 
     countries of origin after their drugs and vehicles were 
     confiscated;
       it has been reported that after a seizure of 158 pounds of 
     cocaine, one defendant was cited and released because there 
     was no room at the federal jail and charges against her were 
     dropped;
       it has been reported that some smugglers have been caught 
     two or more times--even in the same week--yet still were not 
     prosecuted;
       the number of defendants prosecuted for violations of the 
     federal drug laws has dropped from 25,033 in 1992 to 22, 926 
     in 1995;
       the efforts of law enforcement officers deployed against 
     drug smugglers are severely undermined by insufficiently
