     for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, 
     amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports 
     relating to initiatives to bolster the resilience of existing

     changing climate and associated events, including sea-level 
     rise, flooding, erosion, subsidence, loss of sea ice, and 
     changes in the distribution of permafrost, by the amounts 
     provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided

     either the period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through 
     2020 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2016 through 
     2025.
