     for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, 
     amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports 
     relating to basic research, which may include prohibiting the 
     National Institutes of Health from terminating, reassigning,

     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.
