follows:

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO PROVIDING 
                   THAT ALL WAGES AND SALARIES OF FEDERAL 
                   EMPLOYEES SHALL BE COMMENSURATE WITH THOSE FOR 
                   SIMILAR POSITIONS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR.

       The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate 
     may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,

     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 
     providing that all wages and salaries of Federal employees 
     shall be commensurate with wages and salaries for similar 
     positions in the private sector 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.
                                 ______
