       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 
     promoting Federal Government accountability, which may 
     include prohibiting Members of Congress from publicly taking 
     credit for Government-funded projects in their State or 
     district supported by legislation they previously opposed or 
     requiring Members of Congress to state in publicly available 
     press releases that they opposed such legislation when 
     speaking about such Government-funded projects in their State 
     or district, 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.
