       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO 
                   PROHIBITING A FEDERAL AGENCY FROM USING THE 
                   SOCIAL COST OF GREENHOUSE GASES IN REGULATIONS 
                   UNLESS THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA 
                   DEMONSTRATES REDUCTIONS IN EMISSIONS 
                   CONSISTENTLY OVER THE MOST RECENT 3-YEAR

       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 
     prohibiting each Federal agency from using the social cost of 
     carbon, the social cost of methane, the social cost of 
     nitrous oxide, or the social cost of any other greenhouse gas 
     in any regulation of the Federal agency unless the People's 
     Republic of China demonstrates a reduction in the emissions 
     of that greenhouse gas consistently over the most recent 3-
     year period 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 2021 through 2025 or the period of the total of 
     fiscal years 2021 through 2030.
