SA 668. Mr. FLAKE 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. ___. SPENDING-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO
GOVERNMENT REFORM AND EFFICIENCY.
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 achieving savings through the use of performance
data or scientifically rigorous evaluation methodologies for
the elimination, consolidation, or reform of Federal
programs, agencies, offices, and initiatives, the sale of
Federal property, or the reduction of improper payments by
the amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes,
provided that such legislation would not raise new revenue
and 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. The Chairman may
also make adjustments to the Senate's pay-as-you-go ledger
over 6 and 11 years to ensure that the spending reduction
achieved is used for deficit reduction only. The adjustments
authorized under this section shall be of the amount of
spending reduction achieved.
