  SA 912. Mr. MARKEY 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 appropriate place in title IV, add the following:

     SEC. 4___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION THAT WOULD CUT 
                   FUNDING FOR RESEARCH ON ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND 
                   RELATED DEMENTIAS.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, 
     amendment between the Houses, or conference report that would 
     reduce, rescind, reprogram, or otherwise cut funding for 
     Alzheimer's disease or related dementias, including research 
     conducted or funded by the National Institutes of Health, 
     where such reductions would delay the development of 
     treatment and cures, increase health care costs for families 
     and taxpayers, weaken support for caregivers, or undermine 
     the United States' global leadership in neurodegenerative 
     disease research and innovation.
       (b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or 
     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly 
     chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of 
     the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under 
     subsection (a).
                                 ______
