  SA 921. Mr. REED 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 
                   PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS UNDER THE MEDICARE 
                   PROGRAM.

       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 prescription drug costs under the Medicare 
     program, which may include making prescription drugs more 
     affordable for seniors and for taxpayers by requiring the 
     Secretary of Health and Human Services to negotiate 
     prescription drug costs under the Medicare program, 
     particularly with inverted corporations that benefit from 
     Medicare program reimbursements, 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.
                                 ______
