SA 1600. Mr. COONS (for himself, Ms. Warren, and Ms. Blunt Rochester)
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 PROTECTING
SOCIAL SECURITY FROM DOGE.
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 Social Security, which may include stopping the
Department of Governmental Efficiency's efforts to inhibit
Social Security beneficiaries from accessing their hard-
earned benefits by cutting the budget of the Social Security
Administration, closing Social Security Administration
offices, firing Social Security Administration employees, or
forcing beneficiaries to go to unreasonable lengths to access
their benefits, 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.
