  SA 344. 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

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO NATIONAL 
                   INSTITUTES OF HEALTH INDIRECT COSTS RATES.

       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 
     scientific research, which may include prohibiting the 
     National Institutes of Health from unilaterally reducing, 
     negotiating, or modifying previously established indirect 
     cost rates for federally funded research, 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.
