  SA 1553. Mr. KING submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14, establishing 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 appropriate place, insert the following:

     SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO 
                   PROHIBITING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                   SERVICES FROM FIRING STAFF WITHOUT CAUSE.

       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 public 
     health, which may include prohibiting the Department of 
     Health and Human Services from firing staff unless there is 
     cause or genuine performance justification and if doing so is 
     opposed to the mission of the Department, 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.
                                 ______
