  SA 574. Mr. MERKLEY 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 
                   PREVENTING CORRUPTION BY THE PRESIDENT AND 
                   EXECUTIVE BRANCH.

       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 
     preventing corruption, which may include legislation 
     preventing or responding to Presidential or executive branch 
     interference with United States attorneys faithfully 
     executing their duties, upholding the rule of law, or 
     pursuing justice impartially, illegal quid pro quo between 
     and among the executive branch and subjects of Federal 
     investigations or prosecutions, or the unconstitutional 
     encroachment of the President or the executive branch into 
     judicial branch independence, 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.
                                 ______
