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
INITIATING A CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION WITH
RESPECT TO THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S EFFORTS
TO ENSURE THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF THE TENS
OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN THAT ARE IN THE
CUSTODY OF THE SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES OR THAT ARE BEING PLACED BY THE
SECRETARY WITH SPONSORS IN THE UNITED STATES.
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
initiating a congressional investigation with respect to the
Biden Administration's efforts to ensure the safety and well-
being of the tens of thousands of children that are in the
custody of the Secretary of Health and Human Services or that
are being placed by the Secretary with sponsors in the United
States, given recent arrests of Department of Health and
Human Services-contracted employees in Tennessee for
committing crimes against migrant children in such custody 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.
