  SA 5341. Mr. BOOKER submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by 
him 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 ENERGY 
                   AFFORDABILITY AND SUPPLY.

         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 
     expanding new energy supply and increasing the resilience of 
     energy systems, including by deploying grid-enhancing 
     technologies for relieving grid congestion and maximizing use 
     of the grid, such as with dynamic line ratings, power flow 
     control devices, and virtual power plants, to meet the needs 
     of America's growing electricity demand and lowering costs 
     for ratepayers 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.
