SA 175. Mr. COONS 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 ENSURING
THAT DEPLOYMENTS OF MEMBERS OF THE UNITED
STATES ARMED FORCES IN SUPPORT OF IMMIGRATION
OPERATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY DO NOT REDUCE MILITARY READINESS.
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
ensuring that deployments of members of the United States
Armed Forces in support of immigration operations of the
Department of Homeland Security do not reduce military
readiness, which may include ensuring that such deployments
do not require the cancellation or rescheduling of training
exercises, do not divert military personnel from operations
supporting state wildfire suppression efforts, or do not
divert funds appropriated by Congress for the Department of
Defense for other agencies' operations, by the amounts
provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided
that such legislation would not increase the deficit over the
period of the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
