SA 170. Mr. BLUMENTHAL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed
by him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2026 through 2034; 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
STRENGTHENING UNITED STATES SANCTIONS
ENFORCEMENT.
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
strengthening United States sanctions enforcement, which may
include legislation that would prevent the provision of
financial support to or relief from sanctions imposed on the
Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, Iran, or
North Korea absent meaningful action to change the malign
policies of those countries that undermine the international
order, including invasion of sovereign territory or support
for terrorism, 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 2025 through 2029 or the period of the total of
fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
