The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate

and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between

the deficit over either the period of the total of fiscal
years 2021 through 2025 or the period of the total of fiscal
