       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO REDUCING 
                   THE SIZE OF THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE BY 10

     the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to 
     reducing the size of the Federal workforce by 10 percent, 
     which may include prohibiting or limiting Executive agencies 
     from appointing individuals to vacant positions or 
     eliminating or consolidating vacant Executive agency 
     positions (other than positions in the uniformed services, 
     positions occupied by political appointees, or positions at a 
     shared service provider that offers payroll services for 
     Federal employees) 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.
