  SA 451. Mr. HELLER 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; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON PAY FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS 
                   IF THE BUDGET AND APPROPRIATIONS ARE NOT 
                   COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

       It is the Sense of the Senate that--
       (1) both Houses of Congress should approve a concurrent 
     resolution on the budget and all the regular appropriations 
     bills before October 1 of each fiscal year;
       (2) if a concurrent resolution on the budget and all the 
     regular appropriations bills are not approved by October 1 of 
     each fiscal year then no funds should be appropriated or 
     otherwise be made available from the Treasury of the United 
     States for the pay of any Member of Congress during any 
     period after October 1 that a concurrent resolution on the 
     budget and all the regular appropriations bills are not 
     completed; and
       (3) no retroactive pay for any Member of Congress should be 
     made during a period after October 1 when the concurrent 
     resolution on the budget and all the regular appropriations 
     bills are not completed.
                                 ______
