  SA 409. Mr. BENNET (for himself, Mr. Blumenthal, and Ms. Warren) 
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 ENSURING 
                   THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DOES NOT CONDUCT 
                   OPERATIONS AT THE UNITED STATES SOUTHERN BORDER 
                   THAT WOULD INCREASE THE DEPARTMENT'S BUDGET 
                   EXPENDITURE WITHOUT PROVIDING A DETAILED COST 
                   ESTIMATE TO THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEES.

       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 
     ensuring that the Department of Defense does not conduct 
     operations at the United States southern border that would 
     increase the Department's budget expenditure without 
     providing a detailed cost estimate to the Armed Services 
     committees, including budget offsets by program, 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.
                                 ______
