SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO
PROTECTING UNITED STATES FARMERS FROM THE
ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF A TERMINATION OR PAUSE
OF UNITED STATES FOREIGN ASSISTANCE.
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
supporting farmers and agricultural sector workers in the
United States, which may include legislation that would
ensure that any pause or freeze in United States foreign
assistance does not have negative economic consequences on
United States farmers, including those who provide
commodities or specialty crops for foreign assistance or
international food aid, 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.
