       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO THE 
                   IMPACT OF EXTREME WEATHER AND NATURAL DISASTERS 
                   ON CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS.

       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, 
     and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, 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 critical 
     infrastructure systems and facilitate the development of new 
     critical infrastructure systems, which may include energy 
     infrastructure, telecommunications, drinking water and 
     wastewater, transportation networks, shore and flood 
     protection, food production, healthcare and long-term care 
     facilities, schools, law enforcement agencies, and public 
     buildings, in order to improve critical infrastructure 
     resilience in the United States and reduce the long-term 
     economic costs from impacts related to extreme weather events 
     or natural disasters, such as heavy rains, hurricanes, 
     flooding, storm surge, sea-level rise, extreme temperatures 
     or temperature changes, wildfires, earthquakes, or tornadoes, 
     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 2018 through 2022 or the period of the total of fiscal 
     years 2018 through 2027.
