  SA 1270. Mr. KAINE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the bill H.R. 1968, making further continuing appropriations and 
other extensions for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, and for 
other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:
       Sec. ___. (a) None of the funds made available by this Act 
     may be used by a Federal agency, during the 30-day period 
     beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, to remove 
     more than 1 percent of the employees of the agency.
       (b) After the 30-day period described in subsection (a), 
     any Federal agency that seeks to restructure the agency 
     shall, before carrying out that restructuring, submit to the 
     congressional committees of jurisdiction with respect to the 
     agency a plan that outlines how the agency plans to execute 
     the statutory missions of the agency with a greatly reduced 
     workforce.
                                 ______
