SA 952. Mr. MERKLEY (for himself and Mr. Brown) proposed an amendment
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 RELATING TO TRADE
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 trade agreements, which may include measures
ensuring that trade agreements put United States
manufacturers on a level playing field with manufacturers in
foreign countries with low environmental and wage standards,
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.
