as follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:

THE EFFECT OF STAFF REDUCTIONS ON EMPLOYMENT-
BASED VISA PROCESSING.
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

of staff reductions at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services and the impact such reductions will have on
processing times for employment-based visas, 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.
