  SA 1698. Mr. VAN HOLLEN submitted an amendment intended to be 
proposed by him to the bill H.R. 1, to provide for reconciliation 
pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget 
for fiscal year 2018; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. __. CERTIFICATION OF NO PRESIDENTIAL BENEFIT.

       (a) In General.--The provisions of this Act shall be null 
     and void and of no effect until--
       (1) the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service 
     certifies that, based on a review of the tax returns of the 
     President of the United States for the 3 most recent taxable 
     years, the President would not have benefited in any of such 
     taxable years if the provisions of this Act had been in 
     effect in such year; and
       (2) the Commissioner makes publicly available the tax 
     returns on which such certification is based.
       (b) Redaction of Certain Information.--The tax returns 
     which must be made publicly available by the Commissioner of 
     the Internal Revenue Service under subsection (a) may be 
     redacted to remove such information as the Director of the 
     Office of Government Ethics, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of the Treasury, determines appropriate.
                                 ______
