MAKING IN ORDER AMENDMENT NO. 3, AS MODIFIED, DURING FURTHER
CONSIDERATION OF H. CON. RES. 376, CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON THE BUDGET
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2007
Mr. SPRATT. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that during
consideration of House Concurrent Resolution 376, pursuant to House
Resolution 817, the amendment that I have placed at the desk may be in
order in lieu of amendment No. 3 printed in part B of House Report 109-
468.
This amendment modifies the amendment I submitted to the Rules
Committee last month to increase the emergency spending for natural
disasters from $4.348 billion to $6.45 billion. The House has just
passed a rule increasing the base bill by that amount, and my
amendment, the amendment at the desk, raises the level in my substitute
to the chairman's new level. It simply puts the two of them on parity
with respect to this particular number.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Kirk). Is there objection to the request
of the gentleman from South Carolina?
Mr. NUSSLE. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, and under
that reservation, I want to thank the gentleman for his explanation.
Just so I understand, I believe, and for Members' clarification too,
what the gentleman from South Carolina is doing is basically matching
the amount of money that we have set aside in our emergency reserve
fund to begin this process to actually plan for and budget for
emergencies. We are setting aside $6.45 billion for the first time ever
to actually plan for emergencies. And what the gentleman from South
Carolina is doing is he is matching that. The only thing I observe is
that it is just a dollar amount. There is no procedure that you are
adding to your amendment. In other words, there is no definition of an
emergency; there is no reserve fund that specifically says this is for
emergencies. There is no criteria for emergencies, just the amount of
money is set aside.
Mr. SPRATT. If the gentleman will yield, the chairman is correct.
First, unlike your bill, the base bill, we do not create a reserve fund
within the budget resolution. Instead, we rely on the powers granted to
the chairman under section 314 of the Congressional Budget Act. Second,
we do not establish emergency criteria. And, thirdly, we do not create
a procedure that further involves the Budget Committee.
Mr. NUSSLE. I thank the gentleman. We will have more discussion about
this during the debate on his amendment.
I withdraw my reservation.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the new form of the
amendment is considered as read.
There was no objection.
The text of the amendment, as modified, is as follows:
Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the
following:

TITLE IV--SENSE OF CONGRESS
SEC. 401. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON DEFENSE PRIORITIES.
It is the sense of the House that--
(1) funding cooperative threat reduction and nuclear
nonproliferation programs at a level adequate to the threat
and the risk is also a compelling homeland defense priority,
and the President's budget should have requested sufficient
funding for these programs;
(2) funding Army National Guard troop strength to the
authorized level of 350,000 is critical to support homeland
defense, crisis response in the United States, and to support
overseas deployments and the President's budget should have
requested sufficient funding for this requirement;
(3) ensuring the $150,000 death gratuity benefit be
provided retroactively to those beneficiaries from May 5,
2005, through August 31, 2005, is a high priority that should
not have been omitted from the President's budget request;
(4) increasing the level of free life insurance coverage
from $150,000 to $400,000 to service members in a combat zone
through the Service members Group Life Insurance Program
(SGLI) is a high priority which should not have been omitted
from the President's budget request;
(5) ensuring Tricare health care fees for military retirees
under the age of 65 remain at current rates is a high
priority;
(6) increasing pay and reenlistment bonuses are high
priorities which should not have been omitted from the
President's budget request because they are critical to the
retention of experienced personnel, particularly senior
noncommissioned officers and junior officers;
(7) increasing funds for family service centers to support
families of deploying service members is a high priority, and
the President's budget should have requested sufficient
funding for this purpose;
(8) funding the Missile Defense Agency at a substantial but
lower level and de-emphasizing space-based interceptor
development will ensure a more measured acquisition strategy,
yet still support a robust ballistic missile defense program;
(9) funding satellite research, development, and
procurement at a level below the amount requested for fiscal
year 2007, which amounts to a 14 percent increase above the
current level, but sufficient to develop new satellite
technologies while ensuring a more prudent acquisition
strategy;
(10) providing sufficient resources to implement Government
Accountability Office recommendations, such as improving
financial management and contracting practices at the
Department of Defense, should identify billions of dollars of
obligations and disbursements and government overcharges for
which the Department of Defense cannot account, and should
result in substantial annual savings;
(11) all savings that accrue from the actions recommended
in paragraphs (8) through (10) should be used to fund higher
priorities within the national security function of the
budget (050), and especially those high priorities identified
in paragraphs (1) through (7).
SEC. 402. POLICY.
It is the policy of this concurrent resolution on the
budget to balance long-term deficit reduction with middle-
income tax relief, such as--
(1) extension of the child tax credit;
(2) extension of marriage penalty relief;
(3) extension of the 10 percent individual income tax
bracket;
(4) modification of the alternative minimum tax to minimize
its impact on middle-income taxpayers;
(5) elimination of estate taxes on all but a minute
fraction of estates by reforming and substantially increasing
the unified credit;
(6) extension of the research and experimentation tax
credit; and
(7) extension of the deduction for State and local sales
taxes.
To achieve this tax relief, this resolution assumes
$150,000,000,000 in tax relief, and the accommodation of
additional tax relief provided the additional revenue loss is
offset such as through the recovery of a portion of unpaid
revenue (commonly known as the ``tax gap'') owed the United
States Treasury under the existing tax code and estimated to
be $290,000,000,000 in 2001 alone.
SEC. 403. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING PAY PARITY.
It is the sense of the House that--
(1) compensation for civilian and military employees of the
United States, without whom we cannot successfully serve and
protect our citizens and taxpayers, must be sufficient to
support our critical efforts to recruit, retain, and reward
quality people effectively and responsibly; and
(2) to achieve this objective, the rate of increase in the
compensation of civilian employees should be equal to that
for military employees.
SEC. 404. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON EXTENSION OF THE STATUTORY
PAY-AS-YOU-GO RULE.
It is the sense of the House that in order to reduce the
deficit Congress should extend PAYGO in its original form in
the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, making the rule apply
both to tax decreases and to mandatory spending increases.
SEC. 405. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON TAX SIMPLIFICATION AND TAX
FAIRNESS.
It is the sense of the House that--
(1) the current tax system has been made increasingly
complex and unfair to the detriment of the vast majority of
working Americans during the past decade;
(2) constant change and manipulation of the tax code have
adverse effects on taxpayers understanding and trust in the
Nation's tax laws;
[[Page H2714]]
(3) these increases in complexity and inequity have made
compliance more challenging for the average taxpayer and
small business owner, increasing the number of middle income
families subject to the alternative minimum tax, and widening
the tax gap; and
(4) this concurrent resolution on the budget contemplates a
comprehensive review of recent changes in the tax code,
leading to future action to reduce the tax burden and
compliance burden for middle-income workers and their
families in the context of tax reform that makes the Federal
tax code simpler and fairer to all taxpayers, and ensures
that this generation of Americans does not force future
generations to pay our bills.
SEC. 406. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON HOMELAND SECURITY.
It is the sense of the House that--
(1) this resolution provides additional homeland security
funding above the President's requested level and the budget
reported by the Committee on the budget of the House for 2007
and every subsequent year;
(2) this resolution provides $6,100,000,000 above the
President's requested level for 2007, and additional amounts
in subsequent years, in the four budget functions (Function
400 Transportation; Function 450 Community and Regional
Development; Function 550 Health; and Function 750
Administration of Justice) which fund most nondefense
homeland security activities; and
(3) the homeland security funding provided in this
resolution will help to strengthen the security of our
Nation's transportation system, particularly our ports where
significant security shortfalls still exist and foreign ports
by expanding efforts to identify and scan all high-risk U.S.-
bound cargo, equip our first responders, help secure our
borders, increase the preparedness of our public health
system, and strengthen the Nation's homeland security.
SEC. 407. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING FUNDING FOR THE
MANUFACTURING EXTENSION PARTNERSHIP.
It is the sense of the House that this resolution rejects
the President's budget cuts to the Manufacturing Extension
Partnership, and ensures sufficient funding to protect the
ability of the Manufacturing Extension Partnership to
continue helping small manufacturers reach their optimal
performance and create jobs.
SEC. 408. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON REJECTING CUTS TO EDUCATION,
HEALTH, AND TRAINING PROGRAMS.
It is the sense of the House that:
(1) Funding for vital education, health, social services,
and training programs was cut for 2006, and would be reduced
by a total of $7 billion below the 2005 level by the
President's budget request for 2007.
(2) It is imperative that Congress reject cuts to key
programs that the President's budget eliminates or cuts.
These programs include vocational education, special
education, college aid, and title I, which is the cornerstone
of the No Child Left Behind Act. They also include medical
research, including the National Institutes for Health and
the Centers for Disease Control, community services, and job
training.
(3) This resolution provides more than $7 billion above the
Senate budget resolution's total for non-defense
discretionary funding for 2007 and an even greater amount
above the President's budget for 2007, and provides an amount
which is sufficient to reject the President's cuts and
maintain funding for vital health, social services,
education, and job training programs.
SEC. 409. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON RURAL DEVELOPMENT.
It is the sense of the House that--
(1) rural communities play an important role in the
American economy, and the sustained viability of rural
America is key to economic stability for many parts of the
Nation; and
(2) this resolution supports sufficient funding for
agriculture, rural economic development, infrastructure,
research, and other priorities for rural communities, and
rejects the cuts proposed in the President's budget.
SEC. 410. POLICY.
For fiscal year 2007, major functional category Allowances
(920) reserves $6,450,000,000 in anticipation of emergency
spending in response to natural disasters.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the request is agreed to.
There was no objection.
