  SA 1224. Mr. BENNET submitted an amendment intended to be proposed to 
amendment SA 1116 proposed by Mr. Enzi to the concurrent resolution H. 
Con. Res. 71, establishing the congressional budget for the United 
States Government for fiscal year 2018 and setting forth the 
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2019 through 2027; which 
was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the end of subtitle A of title IV, add the following:

     SEC. 41__. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD NOT 
                   BE THE BIGGEST MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUT IN HISTORY.

       (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 
     not be the biggest middle class tax cut ever enacted in the 
     United States, based on a distributional analysis and score 
     by the Joint Committee on Taxation and measured either as a 
     share of the gross domestic product or as a percentage of the 
     total tax burden (determined by defining ``middle class'' as 
     all income deciles above the lowest 20 percent and below the 
     highest 10 percent).
       (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).
                                 ______
