her to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 5, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year

follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:
SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO THE
DOMESTIC PRODUCTION OF RARE EARTH ELEMENTS.
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 the
domestic production of rare earth elements, which are
integral to the national security of the United States over
the coming decade, including rare earth elements derived from
fly ash and the development of stable supply chains to wean
the United States off dependence on the People's Republic of
China, 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.
