  SA 5305. Ms. DUCKWORTH submitted an amendment intended to be proposed 
by her to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33, setting forth the 
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 
2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal 
years 2027 through 2035; which was ordered to lie on the table; as 
follows:

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO 
                   PROTECTING CERTAIN RELATIVES OF CURRENT AND 
                   FORMER MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES.

       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 military families by providing parole in place for 
     certain relatives of current or former members of the Armed 
     Forces, which may include mandating parole in 1-year 
     increments for an alien who is the spouse, widow or widower, 
     parent, or child of a qualifying member of the Armed Forces 
     or a veteran, limiting denials of such parole to cases in 
     which the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of 
     Defense, and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs jointly issue 
     a written, non-delegable justification, and requiring public 
     posting of denial information without personally identifiable 
     information, 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.
                                 ______
