  SA 412. Mr. ROUNDS (for himself and Mr. Inhofe) submitted an 
amendment intended to be proposed by him to the concurrent resolution 
S. Con. Res. 11, setting forth the congressional budget for the United 
States Government for fiscal year 2016 and setting forth the 
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2017 through 2025; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND TO PREVENT CERTAIN 
                   CLOSED-DOOR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS.

       The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate 
     may revise the allocations of a committee or committees, 
     aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution 
     for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, 
     amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports 
     relating to environmental laws and citizen suits, which may 
     include prohibitions on the Administrator of the 
     Environmental Protection Agency and the Director of the 
     United States Fish and Wildlife Service entering into any 
     closed-door settlement agreement without seeking approval 
     from all State, county, and local governments that would be 
     directly impacted by the agreement, by the amounts provided 
     in such legislation for those purposes, provided that such 
     legislation would not increase the deficit over either the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through 2020 or the 
     period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
