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 REDUCING 
                   THE GEOGRAPHIC IMBALANCE IN FEDERAL RESEARCH 
                   FUNDING AND IMPROVING RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE

       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 the 
     Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research of the 
     National Aeronautics and Space Administration (commonly known 
     as ``ESPCoR''), which may include support for States and 
     jurisdictions that are historically underserved by Federal 
     research and development funding, 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.
                                 ______
