SA 527. Mr. CASSIDY 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. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO IMPROVING
THE TRANSLATION OF BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH INTO
TREATMENTS AND CURES.
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 improving the translation of biomedical research
into treatments and cures, which may include legislation to
develop a strategic plan with funding priorities based on
disease burden, the streamlining of Federal processes that
would accelerate cures, and the creation of more transparency
in the funding approval process, 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.
