  SA 1055. Mr. BLUMENTHAL 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 end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3__. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND TO PROMOTE COST-SAVING 
                   ALTERNATIVES TO DETENTION FOR IMMIGRANT 
                   FAMILIES AND CHILDREN.

       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 alternatives to immigration detention, which may 
     include prioritizing alternatives to detention over 
     incarceration, particularly for immigrant families and 
     children who are found to have a credible fear of 
     persecution, in order to achieve net savings to the Treasury, 
     by the amounts provided in such legislation for those 
     purposes, provided that such legislation would not increase 
     the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2016 
     through 2020 and the period of the total of fiscal years 2016 
     through 2025.
