     SEC. 41__. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST CONSIDERATION OF A 
                   CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON THE BUDGET THAT DOES

     to consider any concurrent resolution on the budget for a 
     fiscal year, or any amendment thereto, or any conference 
     report thereon, which does not include the following

     Trust Fund are projected to become depleted (as estimated by 
     the Board of Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors 
     Insurance and Federal Disability Insurance Trust Funds).
       (2) The year in which the asset reserves of the Federal 
     Disability Insurance Trust Fund are projected to become 
     depleted (as estimated by the Board of Trustees of the 
     Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Federal 
     Disability Insurance Trust Funds).
       (3) For each of the years identified under paragraph (1) 
     and (2), the projected amount (expressed as a percentage) by 
     which benefits scheduled to be paid under the Federal Old-Age 
     and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund or the Federal Disability 
     Insurance Trust Fund, as applicable, shall be reduced as a 
     result of the trust fund having insufficient assets to meet 
     its obligations (as estimated by the Board of Trustees of the 
     Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Federal 
     Disability Insurance Trust Funds).

     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).
