years 2026 through 2034; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:
At the appropriate place, insert the following:

PROTECTING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, THE RELEASE
OF WHICH WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGE NATIONAL

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
protecting the lives of members of the Armed Forces and
intelligence officers, including by ensuring that classified
information is only shared on United States Government-
approved classified networks and devices and that only those
properly cleared individuals with a fully adjudicated
background investigation and a legitimate need to know can
access classified data, systems, and facilities, 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.
