       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 
     recognizing the tremendous service and sacrifices made by 
     American veterans, which may include legislation that would 
     protect or sustain Federal employment opportunities for 
     veterans as part of the wider Federal civilian workforce that 
     is critical to United States governance and national 
     security, 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.
