       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO 
                   PROTECTING AMERICAN SHIPPERS AND CONSUMERS FROM

       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 
     strengthening enforcement of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 
     2022 and related laws, which may include funding for 
     investigations to crackdown on increased costs and unfair 
     practices to protect American businesses that rely on the 
     maritime supply chain, 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 2026 through 2035.
