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 title IV, add the following:

     SEC. 4__. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST PROVIDING A TAX CUT TO THE 
                   TOP 1 PERCENT OR CREATING A LOOPHOLE FOR 
                   WEALTHY TAX DODGERS THROUGH LOWERING THE PASS-
                   THROUGH TAX RATE.

       (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 relating 
     to a reconciliation bill that would--
       (1) provide a tax cut on business income to individuals in 
     the top 1 percent of income, or
       (2) increase the incentive for workers to receive 
     compensation from their current employer through a pass-
     through business rather than in the form of higher-taxed 
     wages.
       (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).
                                 ______
