  SA 5307. 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 ALLOWING 
                   DEPORTED VETERANS TO TEMPORARILY PAROLE INTO 
                   THE UNITED STATES TO RECEIVE CARE FROM THE 
                   DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS.

       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 
     allowing certain non-citizen veterans who were ordered 
     removed or who departed voluntarily to be paroled temporarily 
     into the United States to receive health care furnished by 
     the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, which may include on a 
     case-by-case basis discretionary parole by the Secretary of 
     Homeland Security, clarifying that such parole is not an 
     admission, returning a paroled veteran to prior custody when 
     the purpose of parole has been served, and excluding 
     individuals inadmissible due to specified convictions for 
     crimes of violence or national security for which the 
     individual served a term of imprisonment of at least 5 years, 
     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.
