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 
                   REDESIGNING THE MEDICARE PART D BENEFIT.

       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 
     redesigning the Medicare part D benefit, capping patient out-
     of-pocket spending at $3100, allowing patients to pay their 
     obligation over time, and protecting small manufacturers' 
     research and development efforts 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.
