                         Offered By: Mr. Istook

       Amendment No. 1: At the end of the bill, insert after the 
     last section (preceding the short title) the following new 
     section:
       Sec.  . None of the funds appropriated in this Act may be 
     made available to any entity under title X of the Public 
     Health Service Act, when it is made known to the Federal 
     official having authority to obligate or expend such funds 
     that--
       (1) any portion of such funds is knowingly being used by 
     such entity to provide services after March 31, 1997, to a 
     minor, other than a minor who--
       (A) is emancipated under applicable State law;
       (B) has the written consent of a custodial parent or legal 
     guardian to receive such services; or
       (C) has an order of a court of competent jurisdiction to 
     receive such services, based on--
       (i) the court's assumption of custody over the minor; or
       (ii) actions of a custodial parent or legal guardian that 
     present a continuing threat to the health and safety of the 
     minor and preclude the obtaining of consent under 
     subparagraph (B); and
       (2) The State in which such services are provided has not, 
     after the date of the enactment of this section, enacted a 
     statute that excludes the minor seeking a title X service 
     from the parental consent requirements as to that particular 
     service.

               (Legislative Branch, Appropriations, 1997)

       Amendment No. Before the short title at the end of the 
     bill, add the following new section:
       Sec.  . (a) In addition to any other estimates it may 
     prepare of any proposed change in Federal revenue law, a 
     fiscal estimate shall be prepared by the Joint committee on 
     Taxation of each such proposed change on the basis of 
     assumptions that estimate the probable behavioral responses 
     of personal and business taxpayers and other relevant 
     entities to that proposed change and the dynamic 
     macroeconomic feedback effects of that proposed change, and 
     it shall include a statement identifying those assumptions. 
     The preceding sentence shall apply only to a proposed change 
     that the Joint committee on Taxation determines, pursuant to 
     a static fiscal estimate, has a fiscal impact in excess of 
     $100,000,000 in any fiscal year.
       (b) In addition to any other estimates it may prepare of 
     any proposed change in Federal revenue or spending law, a 
     fiscal estimate shall be prepared by the Congressional Budget 
     Office of each such proposed change on the basis of 
     assumptions that estimate the probable behavioral responses 
     of personal and business taxpayers and other relevant 
     entities to that proposed change and the dynamic 
     macroeconomic feedback effects of that proposed change, and 
     it shall include a statement identifying those assumptions. 
     The preceding sentence shall apply only to a proposed change 
     that the Congressional Budget Office determines, pursuant to 
     a static fiscal estimate, has a fiscal impact in excess of 
     $100,000,000 in any fiscal year.
       (c) Any report to Congress or the public made by the Joint 
     Committee on Taxation or the Congressional Budget Office that 
     contains an estimate made under this concurrent resolution of 
     the effect that any legislation will have on revenues or 
     spending shall rely upon Congressional Budget Office data and 
     shall be accompanied by a written statement fully disclosing 
     the economic, technical, and behavioral assumptions that were 
     made in producing that estimate.
       (d) In performing the tasks specified in subsections (a) 
     and (b), the Joint Committee on Taxation and the 
     Congressional Budget Office may, subject to the availability 
     of appropriations, enter into contracts with universities or 
     other private or public organizations to perform such 
     estimations or to develop protocols and model for making such 
     estimates.
