  SA 345. Mr. KING (for himself 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 
                   PROHIBITING THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION 
                   FROM FIRING STAFF WITHOUT CAUSE.

       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 public 
     health, which may include prohibiting the Food and Drug 
     Administration from firing staff unless there is cause or 
     genuine performance justification or if doing so is opposed 
     to the work of the agency 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.
