report shall be stricken, and the Senate shall proceed to
consider the question of whether the Senate shall recede from
its amendment and concur with a further amendment, or concur
in the House amendment with a further amendment, as the case
may be, which further amendment shall consist of only that
portion of the conference report or House amendment, as the
case may be, not so stricken. Any such motion in the Senate

analysis that includes--
(1) a determination of whether the covered legislation

overlapping created by the covered legislation.
SEC. 5006. BREAKDOWN OF COST ESTIMATES BY BUDGET FUNCTION.
Any cost estimate prepared by the Congressional Budget

SEC. 5007. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON TREATMENT OF REDUCTION OF
APPROPRIATIONS LEVELS TO ACHIEVE SAVINGS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) H. Con. Res. 448 (96th Congress), the concurrent
resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1981, gave
authorizing committees reconciliation instructions which
amounted to approximately two-thirds of the savings required
under reconciliation.
(2) The language in H. Con. Res. 448 resulted in a debate
about how reconciling discretionary spending programs could
be in order given that authorizations of appropriations for
programs did not actually change spending and the programs
authorized would be funded through later annual
appropriation. The staff of the Committee on the Budget of
the Senate and the counsel to the majority leader advised
that upon consultation with the Parliamentarian, the original
instructions on discretionary spending would be out of order
because of the phrase, ``to modify programs''. This was seen
as too broad and programs could be modified without resulting
in changes to their future appropriations.
(3) To rectify this violation, the Committee on the Budget
of the Senate reported S. Con. Res. 9 (97th Congress),
revising the congressional budget for the United States
Government for fiscal years 1981, 1982, and 1983, to include
reconciliation, which revised the language in the
reconciliation instructions to change entitlement law and
``to report changes in laws within the jurisdiction of that
committee sufficient to reduce appropriations levels so as to
achieve savings''.
(4) This was understood to mean changes in authorization
language of discretionary programs would be permissible under
reconciliation procedures provided such changes in law would
have the result in affecting a change in later outlays
derived from future appropriations. Further it was understood
that a change in authorization language that caused a change
in later outlays was considered to be a change in outlays for
the purpose of reconciliation.
(5) On April 2, 1981, the Senate voted 88 to 10 to approve
S. Con. Res. 9 with the modified reconciliation language.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that committees reporting changes in laws within the
jurisdiction of that committee sufficient to reduce
appropriations levels so as to achieve savings shall be
considered to be changes in outlays for the purpose of
enforcing the prohibition on extraneous matters in
reconciliation bills.
SEC. 5008. PROHIBITION ON PREEMPTIVE WAIVERS.
In the Senate, it shall not be in order to move to waive or
suspend a point of order under the Congressional Budget Act
of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 621 et seq.) or any concurrent resolution
on the budget with respect to a bill, joint resolution,
motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or
conference report unless the point of order has been
specifically raised by a Senator.
SEC. 5009. ADJUSTMENTS FOR LEGISLATION REDUCING
APPROPRIATIONS.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations in effect under section 302(a) of
the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 633(a)) and
the allocations of a committee or committees, aggregates, and
other appropriate levels in this resolution for any bill or
joint resolution considered pursuant to section 3001
containing the recommendations of one or more committees, or
for one or more amendments to, a conference report on, or an
amendment between the Houses in relation to such a bill or
joint resolution, by the amounts necessary to accommodate the
reduction in the amount of discretionary appropriations for a
fiscal year caused by the measure.
SEC. 5010. AUTHORITY.
Congress adopts this title under the authority under
section 301(b)(4) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2
U.S.C. 632(b)(4)).
SEC. 5011. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS.
Congress adopts the provisions of this title--
(1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate,
and as such they shall be considered as part of the rules of
the Senate and such rules shall supersede other rules only to
the extent that they are inconsistent with such other rules;
and
(2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of
the Senate to change those rules at any time, in the same
manner, and to the same extent as is the case of any other
rule of the Senate.
