SA 3267. Mr. CRUZ submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 14, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2022 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2023 through 2031; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:
SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO
PROHIBITING ACTIONS THAT RESTRICT OR REDUCE THE
NUMBER OF DOMESTIC PETROLEUM AND MINING JOBS.
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
Federal environmental, energy, and mineral policy, which may
include prohibiting or limiting the Environmental Protection
Agency or Department of the Interior from taking any new
actions or initiatives that restrict or reduce the number of
domestic petroleum or mining jobs, which would decrease the
supply of, and increase the cost for, consumption of
household energy and products, reduce the energy independence
of the United States, and increase the international trade
deficit, 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 2022 through 2026 or the period of the total of
fiscal years 2022 through 2031.
