S. 4049, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2021 for military 
activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and 
for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe 
military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other 
purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the end of subtitle E of title X, add the following:

     SEC. ___. LIMITATION ON USE OF FUNDS ON MILITARY OPERATIONS 
                   INVOLVING HOSTILITIES USING AUTHORITY OF 
                   DECLARATION OF WAR OR AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF

     more than ten years before such use.
