  SA 419. Mr. LANKFORD submitted an amendment intended to be proposed 
by him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 5, setting forth the 
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 
2021 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal 
years 2022 through 2030; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place in title IV, add the following:

     SEC. 4__. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST CHANGES IN MANDATORY 
                   PROGRAMS.

       (a) Definition.--In this section, the term ``CHIMP'' means 
     a provision that--
       (1) would have been estimated as affecting direct spending 
     or receipts under section 252 of the Balanced Budget and 
     Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 902) (as in 
     effect prior to September 30, 2002) if the provision was 
     included in legislation other than appropriation Acts; and
       (2) results in a net decrease in budget authority in the 
     budget year, but does not result in a net decrease in outlays 
     over the period of the total of the current year, the budget 
     year, and all fiscal years covered under the most recently 
     adopted concurrent resolution on the budget.
       (b) Point of Order in the Senate.--
       (1) In general.--It shall not be in order in the Senate to 
     consider a bill or joint resolution making appropriations for 
     a full fiscal year, or an amendment thereto, amendment 
     between the Houses in relation thereto, conference report 
     thereon, or motion thereon, that includes a CHIMP that, if 
     enacted, would cause the absolute value of the total budget 
     authority of all such CHIMPs enacted in relation to a full 
     fiscal year to be more than the amount specified in paragraph 
     (2).
       (2) Amount.--The amount specified in this paragraph is $0 
     for each of fiscal years 2022 through 2030.
       (c) Determination.--For purposes of this section, budgetary 
     levels shall be determined on the basis of estimates provided 
     by the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate.
       (d) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal in the Senate.--In the 
     Senate, subsection (b) may be waived or suspended only by an 
     affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen 
     and sworn. An affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members 
     of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn, shall be required to 
     sustain an appeal of the ruling of the Chair on a point of 
     order raised under subsection (b).
                                 ______
