  SA 1415. Mr. SULLIVAN 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 title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO 
                   BOLSTERING UNITED STATES MISSILE DEFENSE.

       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 
     activities undertaken to--
       (1) maintain and improve, with the allies of the United 
     States, an effective, robust layered missile defense system 
     capable of defending the citizens of the United States 
     residing in territories and States of the United States, 
     allies of the United States, and deployed Armed Forces of the 
     United States;
       (2) increase the capability, capacity, and reliability of 
     the United States homeland and theater ballistic missile 
     defense systems to defend against the evolving and 
     increasingly complex ballistic missile threats of adversaries 
     of the United States;
       (3) develop a resilient space-based missile defense sensor 
     layer to provide persistent, launch-to-intercept tracking, 
     discrimination, and kill assessment of ballistic missile 
     threats and provide this capability to the Armed Forces as 
     soon as technically feasible; and
       (4) increase funding to homeland missile defense testing to 
     ensure that United States defenses continue to evolve faster 
     than the threats against which they are postured to defend
     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.
