  SA 1178. Ms. CORTEZ MASTO submitted an amendment intended to be 
proposed by her 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 STUDYING 
                   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 
     the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to 
     employment-based visa processing, which may include a study 
     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.
