     SEC. 4017. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST INCREASING MUTUAL DEFENSE 
                   OBLIGATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT THE 
                   ESTABLISHMENT OF A MINIMUM BURDEN SHARING 
                   AGREEMENT.

       (a) Point of Order.--
       (1) In general.--In the Senate, it shall not be in order to 
     consider a provision in a bill, joint resolution, motion, 
     amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report 
     that would increase mutual defense obligations of the United 
     States without the establishment of a minimum burden sharing 
     agreement.
       (2) Point of order sustained.--If a point of order is made 
     by a Senator against a provision described in paragraph (1), 
     and the point of order is sustained by the Chair, that 
     provision shall be stricken from the measure and may not be 
     offered as an amendment from the floor.
       (b) Form of the Point of Order.--A point of order under 
     subsection (a)(1) may be raised by a Senator as provided in 
     section 313(e) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 
     U.S.C. 644(e)).
       (c) Conference Reports.--When the Senate is considering a 
     conference report on, or an amendment between the Houses in 
     relation to, a bill or joint resolution, upon a point of 
     order being made by any Senator

[[Page S6366]]

     pursuant to subsection (a)(1), and such point of order being 
     sustained, such material contained in such conference report 
     or House amendment shall be stricken, and the Senate shall 
     proceed to consider the question of whether the Senate shall 
     recede from its amendment and concur with a further 
     amendment, or concur in the House amendment with a further 
     amendment, as the case may be, which further amendment shall 
     consist of only that portion of the conference report or 
     House amendment, as the case may be, not so stricken. Any 
     such motion in the Senate shall be debatable. In any case in 
     which such point of order is sustained against a conference 
     report (or Senate amendment derived from such conference 
     report by operation of this subsection), no further amendment 
     shall be in order.
       (d) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal.--In the Senate, this 
     section may be waived or suspended only by an affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chose and sworn. An 
     affirmative vote of three-fifths of 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 
     this section.
                                 ______
