     SEC. __. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST THE SALE OF FEDERAL LAND TO 
                   REDUCE THE FEDERAL DEFICIT.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, 
     amendment between the Houses, or conference report that would 
     provide for the sale of any Federal land (other than as part 
     of a program that acquires land that is of comparable value 
     or contains exceptional resources or that is conducted under 
     the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (43 U.S.C. 2301 
     et seq.)) that uses the proceeds of the sale to reduce the 
     Federal deficit.
       (b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or 
     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly 
     chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of 
     the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under 
     subsection (a).
