     terms have been defined and interpreted for purposes of the 
     Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
       (e) Point of Order.--
       (1) In general.--When the Senate is considering a bill, 
     resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report, if a 
     point of order is made by a Senator against an emergency

     conference report on, or an amendment between the Houses in 
     relation to, a bill, upon a point of order being made by any 
     Senator pursuant to this section, and such point of order 
     being sustained, such material contained in such conference 
     report shall be deemed stricken, and the Senate shall proceed 
     to consider the question of whether the Senate shall recede

     estimated in advance, is not unforeseen.
       (g) Inapplicability.--In the Senate, section 204(a) of S. 
     Con. Res. 21 (110th Congress), the concurrent resolution on 
     the budget for fiscal year 2008, shall no longer apply.

     to consider any bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or

     increase in the deficit in excess of $10,000,000,000 in any 
     fiscal year provided for in the most recently adopted 
     concurrent resolution on the budget unless it is fully offset

     2018.
       (e) Inapplicability.--In the Senate, section 315 of S. Con.

     SEC. 305. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST PROVISIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS 
                   LEGISLATION THAT CONSTITUTE CHANGES IN 
                   MANDATORY PROGRAMS AFFECTING THE CRIME VICTIMS 
                   FUND.

       (a) In General.--In the Senate, it shall not be in order to 
     consider any appropriations legislation, including any 
     amendment thereto, motion in relation thereto, or conference 
     report thereon, that includes any provision or provisions 
     affecting the Crime Victims Fund, as defined by section 1402 
     of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (42 U.S.C. 10601), which 
     constitutes a change in a mandatory program that would have 
     been estimated as affecting direct spending or receipts under 
     section 252 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
     Control Act of 1985 (as in effect prior to September 30, 
     2002) were they included in legislation other than 
     appropriations legislation. A point of order pursuant to this 
     section shall be raised against such provision or provisions 
     as described in subsections (d) and (e).
       (b) Determination.--The determination of whether a 
     provision is subject to a point of order pursuant to this 
     section shall be made by the Committee on the Budget of the 
     Senate.
       (c) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal.--This section may be 
     waived or suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote 
     of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An 
     affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members of the 
     Senate, duly chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain 
     an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point of order 
     raised under this section.
       (d) General Point of Order.--It shall be in order for a 
     Senator to raise a single point of order that several 
     provisions of a bill, resolution, amendment, motion, or 
     conference report violate this section. The Presiding Officer 
     may sustain the point of order as to some or all of the 
     provisions against which the Senator raised the point of 
     order. If the Presiding Officer so sustains the point of 
     order as to some of the provisions (including provisions of 
     an amendment, motion, or conference report) against which the 
     Senator raised the point of order, then only those provisions 
     (including provision of an amendment, motion, or conference 
     report) against which the Presiding Officer sustains the 
     point of order shall be deemed stricken pursuant to this 
     section. Before the Presiding Officer rules on such a point 
     of order, any Senator may move to waive such a point of order 
     as it applies to some or all of the provisions against which 
     the point of order was raised. Such a motion to waive is 
     amendable in accordance with rules and precedents of the 
     Senate. After the Presiding Officer rules on such a point of 
     order, any Senator may appeal the ruling of the Presiding 
     Officer on such a point of order as it applies to some or all 
     of the provisions on which the Presiding Officer ruled.
       (e) Form of the Point of Order.--When the Senate is 
     considering a conference report on, or an amendment between 
     the Houses in relation to, a bill, upon a point of order 
     being made by any Senator pursuant to this section, and such 
     point of order being sustained, such material contained in 
     such conference report or amendment shall be deemed stricken, 
     and the Senate shall proceed to consider the question of 
     whether the Senate shall recede from its amendment and concur 
     with a further amendment, or concur in the House amendment 
     with a further amendment, as the case may be, which further 
     amendment shall consist of only that portion of the 
     conference report or House amendment, as the case may be, not 
     so stricken. Any such motion shall be debatable. In any case 
     in which such point of order is sustained against a 
     conference report (or Senate amendment derived from such 
     conference report by operation of this subsection), no 
     further amendment shall be in order.

     section 251(b) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
     Control Act of 1985 (as in effect prior to September 30, 
     2002).

     SEC. 315. DEBT DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT.

       (a) In General.--It shall not be in order to consider a

       ``(a) In General.--The levels assumed in this  budget 
     resolution allow the gross Federal debt of the nation to 
     rise/fall by $______ from the current year, fiscal year 20__, 
     to the fifth year of the budget window, fiscal year 20__.

     resolution allow the gross Federal debt of the nation to 
     rise/fall by $____ on every United States citizen from the 
     current year, fiscal year 20__ to the fifth year of the 
     budget window, fiscal year 20__.

     resolution project that $____ of the Social Security surplus 
     will be spent over the 5-year budget window, fiscal years 
     20__ through 20__, on things other than Social Security.''.
       (b) Social Security.--If any portion of the Social Security 
     surplus is projected to be spent in any year or the gross 
     Federal debt in the fifth year of the budget window is 
     greater than the gross debt projected for the current year, 
     as described in section 101(5) of this resolution, the 
     report, print, or statement of managers accompanying the 
     budget resolution shall contain a section that--
       (1) details the circumstances making it in the national 
     interest to allow Federal debt to increase rather than taking 
     steps to reduce the debt; and
       (2) provides a justification for allowing the surpluses in 
     the Social Security Trust Fund to be spent on other functions 
     of Government even as the baby boom generation retires, 
     program costs are projected to rise dramatically, the debt 
     owed to Social Security is about to come due, and the Trust 
     Fund is projected to go insolvent.
       (c) Definitions.--In this section, the term ``gross Federal 
     debt'' means the nominal levels of (or changes in the levels 
     of) gross Federal debt (debt subject to limit as set forth in 
     section 101(5) of this resolution) measured at the end of 
     each fiscal year during the period of the budget, not debt as 
     a percentage of gross domestic product, and not levels 
     relative to baseline projections.
