  SA 342. Mr. KING (for himself, Mr. Van Hollen, and Ms. Alsobrooks) 
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 EMPLOYEE 
                   TERMINATIONS AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF 
                   HEALTH.

       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 basic 
     research, which may include prohibiting the National 
     Institutes of Health from terminating, reassigning, or 
     otherwise removing employees or contractors unless such 
     action is based on documented cause or performance 
     justification, and not for reasons that undermine the 
     agency's mission, 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.
                                 ______
