                         Strength, Growth, Opportunity

                                  ----------

                     INTRODUCTION TO THE BUDGET RESOLUTION

                                    Summary

        This budget recognizes the fundamental obligations of the
    Federal Government to promote Strength for America, Growth for
    the Economy, and Opportunity for the Future by promoting
    freedom at home and around the world. It does so in a fiscally
    responsible way that cuts the deficit in half in the next 4
    years, with no tax increases.

                                   BACKGROUND

        Even before the end of last year, it was obvious that the
    budget for fiscal year 2005 had to show fiscal responsibility,
    and had to get spending under control. As far back as the
    administration's Mid-Session Review in July, the President was
    proposing to cut the deficit in half within the next 5 years.
    Regaining control of the budget also was the mandate from the
    public and from Members of this House.

                        DEFICITS CONGRESS HAS ADDRESSED

        It was obvious, too, that the Nation had faced, and largely
    overcome, extraordinary circumstances in the past 3 years.
    These were evident in a variety of deficits:

    - The Defense Deficit--Beginning in the early 1990's, military
        spending began a steady decline, eventually reaching its
        lowest percentage of Gross Domestic Product [GDP] since
        before Pearl Harbor. Infrastructure began to deteriorate,
        and so did the quality of life for service members.

    - The Intelligence Deficit--The attacks of September 11, and
        the inadequate intelligence regarding Iraq, North Korea,
        and Iran made it abundantly clear that there was a deficit
        of resources and focus in the Nation's intelligence
        community--which had developed in the 1990's.

    - The Homeland Security Deficit--September 11 proved,
        painfully, that terrorists could exploit gaps in the
        Nation's security. These gaps had to be closed.

    - The Medicare Deficit--Medicare was on a short path to
        bankruptcy until the President and Congress worked to
        modernize the program that had been running under the same
        system since its creation almost 40 years ago. The program
        also has been brought into the 21st century, with a
        prescription drug benefit for seniors.

    - The Growth Deficit--Beginning in 2000, the economy began to
        decline. The slowdown and recession of 2000-01 already had
        taken a toll when the terrorists struck on September 11.

                               THE NEXT CHALLENGE

        These were large and important problems that could not be
    ignored. No one should underestimate the challenges of the past
    3 years--or the strength and resilience with which America has
    endured, and largely overcome, those challenges. But in
    addressing them, the Federal Government took on large costs--
    and the result was a budget deficit (see figures below).
    Correcting that deficit--getting back on the path to balance--
    is the next major challenge. It's one this budget tackles.
        At the same time, however, this is not simply a green-
    eyeshade exercise; it's not just a matter of getting a batch of
    numbers to add up. The budget also has to support an agenda
    that reflects its principles for governing--which are to
    advance the Nation's Strength, Growth, and Opportunity.

                                    Strength

        There is no greater priority in this budget than protecting
    America. In the face of unprecedented threats to the Nation's
    domestic and international security, the National Defense and
    Homeland Security budgets ensure that the following overarching
    goals are advanced:

    - One: Win the Global War Against Terrorism.

    - Two: Prepare for Future Challenges.

    - Three: Protect America's Homeland.

                       WINNING THE WAR AGAINST TERRORISM

        Over the past 3 years, the budgets Congress has adopted
    began to address the defense deficit of the 1990's. Basic pay
    alone has increased 21 percent. Overall, the Department of
    Defense's annual budget has increased by more than $110 billion
    to prosecute the global war against terrorism and carry out
    military transformation.
        The national defense budget embraced here--fully
    accommodating the President's request--is part of a multiyear
    plan enabling the military to fight the war against terrorism
    now, and to transform to counter unconventional threats in the
    future. This budget will: 1) continue to advance America's
    efforts in the global War Against Terrorism; 2) provide for a
    7-percent increase for defense--which represents a 35-percent
    increase since 2001; make strides in transforming the
    Department to meet new threats; 4) continue to improve the
    quality of life for military personnel and their families.
        In addition, this budget reflects the expected cost of $50
    billion in its bottom line for ongoing operations in Iraq and
    Afghanistan for 2005. This is a mid-range estimate for
    anticipated annual costs. It is not an attempt to predetermine
    the scope of operations or which weapons and supplies DOD will
    need, but rather an effort to make the budget reflect a likely
    future outlay. During testimony to the Committee on 3 February
    2004, the Director of the administration's Office of Management
    and Budget said: ``If you want to assume that the level of our
    commitment in 2005 is going to be as robust as it has been in
    2004, then you will have to add into our deficit number for
    2005 something close to that $50 billion figure. My own
    expectation is that our needs there will be less, but we do not
    know.''

                            PROTECTING THE HOMELAND

        Since the attacks of September 11, Congress and the
    President have invested more than $50 billion, and created the
    Department of Homeland Security--reorganizing 22 agencies
    consisting of 180,000 employees, and adapting their missions.
    Threats such as bioterrorism have also been addressed
    vigorously.
        As it does with defense, this budget recognizes the
    continued importance of ensuring that America's homeland is
    secure. The budget provides the Department of Homeland Security
    and related agencies with added resources to protect the Nation
    from terrorist attacks, focusing on:

    - Improving security at the Nation's borders.

    - Ensuring First Responders are properly trained and equipped.

    - Reducing the vulnerability of the Nation's infrastructure.

    - Protecting against bioterrorism.

    - Advancing research in science and technology aimed at
        detecting and countering terrorist attacks.

    - Improving intelligence analysis and coordination.

                                     Growth

        At this time a year ago, the Nation and its economy were
    still in the early stages of recovering from the slowdown and
    recession of 2000-01, and the terrorist attacks and their
    aftermath. The Nation faced uncertainties about war in Iraq;
    and the economy was still struggling to gain traction.
        Congress and the President worked to put in place solid
    policies to deal with these challenges; and because of those
    efforts, the Nation is in a much different--and certainly, much
    better--position today.

                             GROWTH IN THE ECONOMY

        Today's economy is showing robust growth, and strong growth
    is expected to continue. (A further discussion appears in the
    section of this report titled ``Growth.'') A principal goal of
    this budget is to double the economy in the next 15 years. One
    of the fundamental ways this budget encourages sustained growth
    is by supporting the policies that are currently working to
    boost the economy. In short, it ensures there will be no tax
    increases at this critical time in the Nation's economic
    recovery. It provides for:

    - No reduction in the child tax credit, which otherwise will
        decrease from $1,000 per child to $700 per child in 2005 if
        not extended. In other words, the budget prevents a
        potential tax increase of $600 on a family with two
        children--from that provision alone--that would otherwise
        occur.

    - No increase in the marriage penalty. The budget prevents a
        decline in the 15-percent bracket for a married couple,
        which would increase their marriage penalty taxes.

    - No increase in taxes resulting from lowering the upper
        threshold for the 10-percent bracket (e.g., scheduled to
        decline from $14,300 for 2004 for joint filers to $12,000
        in 2005 if not extended).

                              CONTROLLING SPENDING

        In addition to keeping the economy going, Congress must
    address the other side of the equation: controlling Federal
    spending. All spending must get paid for, either through taxes
    or borrowing--and both are burdens on the economy. Controlling
    spending eases that burden; and for that reason alone,
    controlling spending is itself a policy for sustaining economic
    growth.

    - Discretionary Spending. This budget holds the line on overall
        discretionary spending other than that for national defense
        and homeland security. This does not mean, however, that a
        level-funding restriction is mechanically applied to every
        program or activity.

         The budget is the broad blueprint of the Congress's
        general priorities. It is not designed or intended to bind
        the committees of Congress to any specific program choices.
        Within this framework, some priority areas may be
        increased, and lower priorities reduced. Those details will
        be worked out in the next round, when the committees of
        jurisdiction write their legislative provisions--as is
        envisioned by the procedures of the Budget Act. The Budget
        Committee's role is to set a broad, overall recommendation
        that reflects the Nation's priorities, and set the stage
        for the programmatic decisions that will be made by the
        committees of jurisdiction.

    - Mandatory Spending. The budget also continues the call for
        program savings or elimination based on rooting out waste,
        fraud, and abuse in mandatory--or entitlement--programs.

         Entitlement spending is not a new problem. In 1974, the
        year the Budget Act was adopted, mandatory spending
        accounted for about 41 percent of the budget, and
        discretionary spending--which has to be approved each
        year--was about 51 percent. By 1988, mandatory spending had
        grown to 42 percent of the budget; discretionary was 44
        percent (see figures below). Today, 30 years after adoption
        of the Budget Act, more than half of the budget is
        mandatory spending--thus, more than half of the Federal
        Government's spending is on ``autopilot.''

         Mandatory programs in-and-of-themselves are not bad; many
        of them provide critical services. But Congress must get
        control of the growing wave of entitlement spending that
        has developed over the years.

         Congress proved last year that there are huge amounts--
        indefensible amounts--of waste, fraud, and abuse in
        mandatory programs. So this budget begins the process of
        actually reducing or eliminating some of the most
        outrageous examples of waste in these programs.

                                  Opportunity

        Opportunity is the third tenet of this budget, because
    without the first two--strength, ensuring that America is free
    and stays free; and growth, to remain the world's most
    prosperous superpower nation, with an ever-expanding economy
    and job market--America's opportunities would quickly diminish.
        As this budget continues to strengthen the foundations that
    have provided a wealth of opportunity to Americans, it also
    maintains a commitment to educate Americans, help them through
    difficult periods, and provide for those who fought for this
    country.

                                    MEDICARE

        In just a few months' time all Medicare beneficiaries will
    have access to a discount card that will result in 10-percent
    to 15-percent savings for the average beneficiary--and up to
    25-percent savings in some cases--on certain prescription drug
    costs. Low-income seniors also will receive a $600 subsidy in
    conjunction with their prescription drug discount card. This
    will be the first stage of the Medicare prescription drug
    coverage enacted by Congress and the President last year.

        In addition to the new prescription drug benefit, there are
    a host of other positive changes to Medicare worth noting: They
    include: 1) strengthening its finances and addressing waste,
    fraud, and abuse by opening the program to the benefits of
    competition; 2) reforming its regulatory structure to ease the
    burden on Medicare providers; 3) making it easier for generic
    drugs to enter the market; 4) finally, addressing the payment
    equity issue between rural and urban areas.
        As part of the improvements in both benefits and the way
    the Medicare Program does business, this Congress and the
    President have also acted to transform the way Americans can
    plan for and manage their health care needs--adopting Health
    Savings Accounts [HSAs]. HSAs allow Americans to provide for
    their own medical needs much as they save for their family's
    future through individual retirement accounts, 401(k)s,
    education savings accounts, and the like.
        These accounts will allow for two very important changes:
    1) they will restore to consumers the ability to plan for, and
    make their own choices about, their own medical coverage; 2)
    they will help to address the long-term demographic and
    financial problems facing the Medicare Program.

                                    MEDICAID

        This budget continues the government's commitment to
    preserve and strengthen both Medicaid and the State Children's
    Health Insurance Program [SCHIP], which assist individuals and
    families who cannot afford health care coverage.
        Since 1995, Medicaid spending has grown 95.2 percent, an
    average increase of 7.7 percent a year. Federal Medicaid
    outlays increased from $108.0 billion in 1999 to $173.9 billion
    this year, an average of 10 percent a year. Federal SCHIP
    spending grew from $1.4 billion in 1999 to an estimated $4.8
    billion this year, an average annual increase of 27.9 percent.

        Last year, Congress increased funding for the SCHIP program
    by 9 percent, and added additional funds to allow for Medicaid/
    SCHIP reform, extend the availability of expiring fiscal year
    2000 SCHIP funds, and give States the option to extend Medicaid
    coverage to children with special needs. Over the next 5 years,
    the Congressional Budget Office estimates that Federal outlays
    for Medicaid will exceed $1 trillion.

                                 WELFARE REFORM

        This budget continues the Nation's commitment to assist
    lower-income Americans by funding such programs as the
    Temporary Assistance to Needy Families [TANF] block grant,
    child care funding, food stamps and child nutrition programs,
    and Head Start. It also accommodates H.R. 4, the Personal
    Responsibility, Work, and Family Promotion Act of 2003, which
    passed the House on 13 February 2003 and is awaiting action in
    the Senate.
        Since TANF was enacted in 1996, welfare rolls have declined
    by 56 percent--with the vast majority of those individuals
    replacing their government dependence with the self-reliance of
    productive jobs. In fact, more than 3 million single mothers
    who have left welfare have been lifted out of poverty, mostly
    because of increased earnings. In that same period, child
    poverty fell to its lowest level in more than 25 years. Black
    and Hispanic child poverty have fallen to their lowest levels
    in history. This budget accommodates reauthorizing the TANF
    program at the President's level--$16.9 billion annually over 5
    years.

                                   EDUCATION

        This resolution continues the Republican commitment to
    education, increasing budget authority by $2.9 billion in
    fiscal year 2005. This is intended to accommodate increases in
    priority programs, such as special education State grants,
    Title I grants to local education agencies, and Pell Grants for
    low-income college students.
        Since 1996, under Republican control of Congress, the
    budget for the Department of Education has more than doubled
    (see Figure I-7). Education has received an annual average
    increase of 12 percent--sustained over 8 years. No other
    Cabinet-level agency has grown as fast as Education over this
    period. In the three large programs that now absorb about two-
    thirds of the agency's budget (see Figures I-8 through I-10
    below): Title I funds to low-income schools have nearly doubled
    since 1996; Pell Grant funding has more than doubled in the
    same period; special education (funding for the Individuals
    with Disabilities Education Act [IDEA]) has more than
    quadrupled since 1996.
        In addition to increased funding, Congress also passed the
    No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which demands results from
    schools in exchange for Federal dollars. It works to forge a
    real link between education spending and classroom achievement,
    while focusing resources more sharply on underperforming
    schools.
        The accountability standards in this law represent the
    greatest step forward in a generation in terms of the Federal
    contribution to K-12 education--an even larger stride than the
    funding increases of recent years.

                                    VETERANS

        Americans' gratitude toward the Nation's 25 million
    veterans--the men and women who have secured America's freedom
    through their sacrifices--is beyond question. Over the past
    several years, Congress has shown the level of gratitude
    befitting the service of these men and women, through hefty
    increases in funding and substantial increase in benefits and
    services.
        This budget provides for an additional $1.2 billion above
    the President's increase, which could be used for veterans
    medical care and medical and prosthetic research. Since 1995,
    monthly education benefit payment levels under the Montgomery
    GI Bill increased from $405 to $985. That percentage increase
    of 143 percent is far higher than the 35-percent increase
    during the preceding 10 years.
        Since Republicans took the majority in Congress in 1995,
    great strides have been made in improving benefits for the
    Nation's veterans:

    - In 1996 and 1999, Congress expanded eligibility for veterans
        medical care. It now includes Reserve and National Guard
        personnel called to active duty who are returning from Iraq
        and Afghanistan. The number of veterans using VA medical
        care has increased from 2.5 million in 1995 to 4.7 million
        today.

    - Since 1995, total spending on veterans has increased from $38
        billion to $60 billion. That is a 58-percent increase,
        compared with a 36-percent increase during the previous 10
        years (see Figure I-11 below).

    - Payments per veteran rose from $1,368 in 1995 to $2,443 in
        2004--a 79- percent increase, compared with a 39-percent
        increase during the previous 10 years.

    - In just a decade, VA medical care funding has been increased
        by 75 percent--from $16.2 billion to $28.3 billion--with
        especially large increases of 13 percent in both 2003 and
        10.9 percent in 2004 (see chart below).

    - For the 40 years prior to 1995, there was no progress on
        ``concurrent receipt.'' Now, military retirees injured in
        combat, while training for combat, or who are 50 percent or
        more service-disabled can, for the first time in more than
        a century, receive retirement benefits concurrently with
        veterans disability compensation. This is the result of
        actions by this Congress.

        With this budget, Congress continues its commitment to, and
    appreciation of, those who have served their country with
    pride, valor, and dignity.

                                   Conclusion

        This budget reflects the priorities and values of America
    today.

    - By preventing tax increases, it ensures that the economy will
        keep moving forward, and will create more jobs. It protects
        the tax relief for married couples, parents, and those at
        the lower end of the income brackets.

    - In the areas of defense and homeland security, it
        appropriately adds funding to the levels from last year so
        the Nation can defend itself and prosecute the global war
        against terrorism. It also recognizes that the cost of the
        conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan will have an effect on the
        bottom line. So it adds $50 billion to its projections to
        reflect a request expected later this year.

    - It helps advance the opportunities this Nation provides by
        supporting important programs in medical care, education,
        and veterans' benefits, to name just a few.

        Finally, while recognizing that the past few years have
    dealt this country a hand of challenging circumstances, this
    budget addresses head-on the deficits that have resulted--just
    as Congress and the President addressed the economy and the war
    against terror.
        Through fiscal restraint and a commitment to addressing
    waste, fraud, and abuse, this budget will cut this deficit in
    half in less than 4 years.
        Budgets are supposed to reflect priorities, and this budget
    does just that. It is the right formula for Strength, Growth,
    and Opportunity in America.

                      The Economy and Economic Assumptions

                                  ----------

                                WHERE WE WERE:
                         PROBLEMS THE ECONOMY HAS FACED

        Over the past 4 years, the Nation has sustained a period
    unlike any other in its history--and one that, it is hoped,
    will never be repeated.

    - Significant adverse events included the September 11 attacks
        and the increased risk and uncertainty associated with
        them; the military conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq; the
        bursting of the stock market bubble of the late 1990's in
        early 2000 (and a harsh reaction to the corporate
        malfeasance and improper accounting practices that
        contributed to the bubble); the sharp declines in
        manufacturing and business investment that began in the
        middle of 2000, and the associated loss of jobs.

    - Reflecting this confluence of events, the U.S. economy slowed
        dramatically beginning in the middle of 2000, and then
        entered a recession that lasted for most of 2001.

    - After the recession, the economy entered a period of uneven
        recovery with continued sluggishness in manufacturing and
        labor markets. At this time last year, the Nation faced a
        backdrop of economic uncertainty--about the investment
        outlook, the strength of the economic recovery, and the
        international environment--the uncertainty about military
        conflict in Iraq, in particular.

    - Only during the past year has the economy shown signs of
        strong growth with broad-based gains across the various
        sectors of the economy. In particular, manufacturing and
        labor markets--the hardest hit areas of the economy--are
        finally showing signs of sustained improvement.

        Fiscal and monetary policies combined to play major roles
    in keeping the adverse effects of the 2000-01 slowdown and
    recession milder than otherwise would have been the case and to
    help boost the economic recovery from the recession.
        Fiscal policy actions have been particularly aggressive in
    working to boost the economy. Three major tax relief bills
    became law over 2001-03, helping to stimulate the economy.

    - The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001
        (June 2001) provided for immediate and phased-in reductions
        in income taxes and tax rates, as well as other tax relief
        and incentives. Joint Committee on Taxation [JCT] estimates
        show the tax relief totaling nearly $300 billion over
        fiscal years 2001-04, and more than $100 billion per year
        in subsequent years.

    - The Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 (March
        2002)--in addition to providing extended unemployment
        benefits and special tax relief following September 11--
        provided tax relief intended for economic stimulus,
        including business investment tax incentives from ``bonus
        depreciation'' of equipment and software. JCT estimates
        show the business investment tax incentives totaling more
        than $100 billion over 2002-04.

    - The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003
        [JGTRRA] (May 2003) accelerated the scheduled income tax
        relief and tax rate reductions of the 2001 legislation,
        increased the ``bonus depreciation'' business investment
        tax incentives, and reduced dividend and capital gains tax
        rates. JCT estimates show the tax relief totaling $185
        billion over fiscal years 2003-04.

     Reconciliation Act of 2003                  over 2003-04
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Altogether, the JCT estimates show that the combined tax
    relief over the 2001-04 period amounts to nearly $600 billion--
    or about 6 percent of gross domestic product spread over the 4
    fiscal years, with a concentration in fiscal years 2003 and
    2004.
        Without the tax cuts, the recession would have been worse--
    with a deeper decline in real GDP, even greater job losses, and
    a slower recovery from the recession.

    - The actual decline in real GDP following the economic
        slowdown and recession of 2000-01 was a relatively mild
        -0.5 percent, compared to the average recession decline of
        about -2\1/4\ percent. Without the tax cuts, estimates show
        that the decline in real GDP would have been about twice as
        deep (at about -1.0 percent). In addition, real GDP growth
        following the recession would have been much slower than
        actually occurred.

    - The increase in the unemployment rate resulting from the
        economic slowdown and recession of 2000-01 was 2.4
        percentage points, somewhat less severe than the average
        increase of 3.2 percentage points during post-World War II
        recessions. Without the tax cuts, estimates show that the
        increase in the unemployment rate would have been as high
        as 4.0 percentage points--a much more severe result than on
        average for recessions.

    - The decline in payroll employment resulting from the economic
        slowdown and recession of 2000-01 was 2.7 million jobs.
        Without the tax cuts, estimates show the decline in payroll
        jobs would have been much greater--around 4\1/2\ million.

        The tax relief is still working in the economy. A
    significant portion of the 2003 tax relief is occurring in the
    first half of this year (the first and second quarters of 2004)
    as taxpayers are and will be receiving significant income tax
    refunds.
        Independent private forecasters and government estimators
    also have acknowledged the beneficial economic effects of the
    tax relief of the past 3 years. For example:

    - At the time of the passage of the 2001 tax relief
        legislation, one respected private forecaster
        (Macroeconomic Advisers of St. Louis) stated: ``* * * once
        in a while we get lucky, and fiscal policy delivers a well-
        timed dose of stimulus. This year's tax cut is perhaps the
        best such example in recent memory.''

    - In early 2003, private forecasters generally agreed that
        President Bush's proposed ``growth and jobs'' 2003 tax
        relief plan (which was similar to what ended up being
        enacted) would boost real GDP and jobs growth and lower
        unemployment. The average of private forecasters' estimates
        showed real GDP being boosted by 1\1/4\ percent over 2003-
        04 and the unemployment rate being reduced by \3/4\
        percentage point (from the effects of the 2003 tax relief
        alone).

    - Early last year, the CBO estimated that the President's
        fiscal year 2004 budget proposals and tax relief would
        boost real GDP by about 1 percent to 1\1/2\ percent by
        2005, and boost employment by about 1 percent to 1\1/4\
        percent by 2005.

    - Similarly, the JCT's estimate of the macroeconomic effects of
        the JGTRRA tax relief legislation showed that the tax
        relief would boost real GDP by 0.2 percent to 0.9 percent
        on average over the 2003-08 period, with employment boosted
        by 0.2 percent (about 230,000 new jobs) to 0.8 percent
        (about 900,000 new jobs) on average over 2003-08.

    - Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan, in reference to the 2003
        tax relief, stated: ``Fortuitously, this particular cut in
        taxes is happening at the right time, although I doubt very
        much one could have planned that in advance.''

        Although Macroeconomic Advisers used the word ``lucky,''
    and Chairman Greenspan used the word ``fortuitously,'' the
    truth is that the tax cuts--and their intended beneficial
    economic effects--were very much so planned in advance.

    - President Bush and congressional Republicans have been
        ongoing advocates of tax relief for promoting enhanced
        economic performance for many years. Tax relief proposals
        have been included in all of the President's budget
        submissions.

    - In March 2003, the Committee on the Budget's report
        accompanying the House budget resolution advocated
        additional tax relief to help bolster the economy: ``Doing
        nothing is unwise * * * * it isn't wise to sit back and
        wait and hope for monetary policy to work and for the
        economy to recover on its own * * * * The President and
        Congress should act to adopt policies that will promote
        growth and job creation.'' In April 2003, Congress passed a
        budget resolution that included significant additional tax
        relief over the next decade, but with the bulk of the tax
        relief occurring over the 2003-04 period.

        Monetary policy also played an important role in bolstering
    the economy. From January 2001 through June 2003, the Federal
    Reserve reduced the Federal funds rate--the key monetary policy
    interest rate--from 6\1/2\ percent to 1 percent in 13 separate
    cuts. Lower interest rates have boosted interest-sensitive
    spending, including consumer durable goods, business equipment
    investment, and residential housing construction.

                                 WHERE WE ARE:
                         CURRENT STATUS OF THE ECONOMY

        On nearly every important score, data now show the U.S.
    economy has been growing strongly, with a broad-based expansion
    across the various sectors of the economy. Tax relief played a
    major role in helping to get the economy growing again.
        Even so, labor market data provide a confusing picture of
    the extent of improvements in the employment situation.

    - The unemployment rate has fallen significantly since last
        summer--falling to 5.6 percent in February from last June's
        peak of 6.3 percent.

    - In contrast, payroll jobs growth has shown modest gains over
        the past 6 months--364,000 since September (or a monthly
        average of about 60,000). Analysts have been expecting
        stronger jobs growth, with monthly gains in jobs in the
        150,000 to 200,000 range.

        Despite the recent labor market uncertainties, the Office
    of Management and Budget [OMB], the Congressional Budget Office
    [CBO], private forecasters and the Federal Reserve all expect
    that the economy will continue growing at a fairly strong pace
    during 2004 and through 2005.
        Labor markets also are expected to improve substantially,
    with further declines in the unemployment rate and significant
    payroll jobs growth. Private analysts are expecting jobs growth
    through the remainder of this year of around 1\1/2\ million to
    2 million jobs.

    - In a February survey in The Wall Street Journal, 75 percent
        of private forecasters said they expected jobs growth
        through October 2004 of between 1 million and 2 million.

    - A National Association of Business Economists February survey
        of private forecasters showed an expected average gain of
        about 1.8 million jobs by the end of the year. Those
        numbers represent monthly jobs gains of about 150,000 per
        month.

        In the mean time, the list of ``Good News'' about the
    economy is impressive, including:

    - Real GDP growth was 4.1 percent at an annual rate in the
        fourth quarter of 2003, following the 8.2-percent growth
        rate of the third quarter--the highest pace in two decades.
        Real GDP growth during the second half of 2003 was at a
        6.1-percent annual rate--the highest two-quarter growth in
        two decades as well.

    - Manufacturing activity soared at the end of 2003 and into the
        beginning of 2004--registering the highest pace of activity
        in 20 years.

    - Industrial production rose at a 6 percent annual rate during
        the second half of 2003, its fastest 6-month rate of
        increase in 3\1/2\ years. Growth continued at that strong
        pace into 2004, with industrial production rising at a 0.8
        percent rate in January and a 0.7 percent rate in February.

    - Real fixed business investment rose at a 11-percent annual
        rate over the second half of 2003, its fastest rate of
        growth in 2\1/2\ years.

    - Real business equipment investment rose at a 16-percent
        annual rate over the second half of 2003, its fastest rate
        of growth in over 6 years.

    - U.S. real exports of goods and services rose at a 21 percent
        annual rate in the fourth quarter, the fastest pace in 7
        years.

    - Housing starts have been running at their highest levels in
        20 years.

    - Stock markets have increased significantly: the Dow Jones
        industrials average is about 30 percent higher than in
        March 2003.

    - Household wealth, reflecting the gains in stock markets and
        rising housing values, rose to a record level at the end of
        2003.

        The unemployment rate fell to 5.6 percent in February, down
    from 6.3 percent last June.

    - Employment as measured in the ``household'' survey has
        recovered to the level that preceded the recession (the
        household survey includes the self-employed and is not
        subject to the downward measurement bias for new business
        employment as in the establishment survey). Payroll
        employment in the ``establishment'' survey has increased by
        364,000 jobs over the past 6 months.

    - Hiring plans: The business outlook for hiring is the best it
        has been in more than 3 years. The Manpower survey recently
        showed that, on net, 22 percent of businesses are planning
        an increase in hiring in the April-to-June period. That is
        an equivalent level to what occurred during the second half
        of the 1990's.

    - Interest rates are low: mortgage rates have been running at
        their lowest levels in more than 3 decades; the bank prime
        is at its lowest level in 45 years.

    - Inflation is low: consumer price inflation (the consumer
        price index [CPI], and core CPI, excluding food and energy)
        is at its lowest rate in nearly 4 decades.

                            WHERE THINGS ARE GOING:
                              ECONOMIC PROJECTIONS

        The economic projections from the administration, CBO, and
    private forecasters reveal the consensus outlook for continued
    strong growth in the economy, following on the heels of last
    year's economic rebound (see table 1).
        The various forecasts show projections for strong real GDP
    growth in 2004 in the range of 4.4 percent to 4.8 percent: 4.8
    percent for the CBO, 4.7 percent for the private Blue Chip
    consensus, and 4.4 percent for the Administration.
        Relatively strong growth is expected to continue beyond
    2004, with CBO projecting real GDP growth at 4.2 percent in
    2005, the administration at 3.6 percent and the Blue Chip at
    3.8 percent.
        Reflecting the stronger growth in the economy, the
    unemployment rate is projected to decline in 2004 and 2005,
    falling from the 6.0 percent average for 2003 to around 5.6
    percent to 5.8 percent in 2004 and to the 5.3 percent to 5.4
    percent range in 2005.
        Inflation and interest rates are projected to rise
    gradually over the next several years, yet still ultimately
    remain at relatively low historical levels for an expanding
    economy.
        The broad policies of the budget resolution--including
    spending restraint, no tax increases, and declining budget
    deficits--are expected to be beneficial for the performance of
    the economy.

    - All government spending must be paid for--through taxes or
        borrowing--and both are burdens on the economy. Raising
        taxes--even if the intent is to close deficits--does not by
        itself reduce the economic burden of government spending.
        The true measure of the burden of government on the economy
        is the overall level of spending.

    - Spending restraint itself--like that in the budget
        resolution--is an important form of pro-growth policy.

    - Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan also has warned about the
        need to restrain government spending and keep the tax
        burden low in order to promote economic growth: ``Tax rate
        increases of sufficient dimension to deal with our looming
        fiscal problems arguably pose significant risks to economic
        growth and the revenue base. The exact magnitude of such
        risks are very difficult to estimate, but they are of
        enough concern, in my judgment, to warrant aiming to close
        the fiscal gap primarily, if not wholly, from outlay
        restraint.''

        CBO's annual economic assumptions were adopted for use in
    the budget resolution and are shown in table table 2.

                                    Summary

        The component of the budget resolution designated as
    revenue reflects all of the Federal Government's various tax
    receipts that are classified as ``on budget.'' This includes
    individual income taxes; corporate income taxes; excise taxes,
    such as the gasoline tax; and other taxes, such as estate and
    gift taxes. The component of social insurance taxes that is
    collected for the Social Security system the Old Age and
    Survivors and Disability Insurance [OASDI] payroll tax is ``off
    budget.'' The remaining social insurance taxes (the Hospital
    Insurance [HI] payroll tax portion of Medicare, the Federal
    Unemployment Tax Act [FUTA] payroll tax, railroad retirement
    and other retirement systems) are all on budget. Customs
    duties, tariffs, and other miscellaneous receipts also are
    included in the revenue function. Pursuant to the Congressional
    Budget Act of 1974 and the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990,
    Social Security payroll taxes, which constitute slightly more
    than a quarter of all Federal receipts, are not included in the
    budget resolution.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The budget resolution calls for $1.457 trillion in on-
    budget revenue for fiscal year 2005, and $8.539 trillion over
    2005-09. Total revenue in the budget resolution is $2.029
    trillion for fiscal year 2005 and $11.691 trillion over 2005-
    09. The resolution assumes policies with a revenue impact of
    $19.919 billion for fiscal year 2005 and $145.799 billion over
    2005-09. These effects are principally the result of preventing
    automatic tax increases that would otherwise occur.
        Although the budget resolution does not explicitly define
    specific changes in tax policy, the revenue levels of the
    resolution are consistent with a general policy of not
    increasing taxes compared to policies currently in place. In
    particular, the resolution includes adjustments to revenue of
    sufficient size to accommodate continuation of specific
    provisions that are set to expire, including:

    - No tax increase for those claiming the child tax credit. The
        resolution provides for retaining the current credit level
        of $1,000 per child. It assumes Congress will act to
        prevent a reduction in the credit, to $700 per child,
        scheduled to occur in 2005. In other words, the budget
        resolution accommodates changes to prevent a potential tax
        increase of $600 on a family with two children from that
        provision alone that would otherwise occur.

    - No increase in the marriage penalty. The budget resolution
        accommodates changes to prevent a scheduled reduction in
        the upper bound of the 15-percent bracket for a married
        couple.

    - No increase in taxes resulting from a reduction in the upper
        threshold for the 10-percent income tax bracket (e.g.,
        scheduled to decline from $14,000 adjusted for inflation in
        2004 for joint filers to $12,000 in 2005 if not extended).

        Additional tax relief from the 2001 and 2003 tax relief
    legislation that is accommodated in the budget resolution
    includes extending the small business expensing limits (the
    expensing of business equipment spending is scheduled to fall
    back to a limit of $25,000 in 2005, from the inflation-indexed
    level of $100,000 for 2003 and subsequent years).
        Extension of bonus depreciation for corporate investment
    spending is not accommodated, reflecting the original intent of
    it serving as a temporary, short-run stimulus at the time of
    its adoption in 2002 and its extension in 2003.
        The budget resolution sets the on-budget revenue level of
    the Federal Government for the current and following 5 years
    but it is the responsibility of the Committee on Ways and Means
    to make the specific adjustments in law to implement these
    levels.

                                 RECONCILIATION

        Through the reconciliation instructions of the budget
    resolution, the Committee on Ways and Means is directed to
    report legislation to the House floor by 1 October 2004, making
    adjustments in current law to prevent tax increases of $13.182
    billion in fiscal year 2005 and $137.580 billion for fiscal
    years 2005-09. These reconciled tax adjustments provide the
    full amount necessary to prevent tax increases from the
    provisions of law enacted in 2001 and 2003. The President's
    budget proposals assumed these amounts as a baseline
    adjustment.

                             TAX REVENUE OVER TIME

        Total Federal tax revenues averaged about 18 percent of
    gross domestic product [GDP] over the past 50 years. Even
    though the intent is that there will be no statutory tax
    increases under this budget, total Federal taxes are projected
    to rise from 16.8 percent of GDP in 2005 to 18.0 percent of GDP
    in 2009 a return to the historical average. The increase in
    Federal taxes relative to GDP occurs because of the improving
    economy as well as the natural tendency for taxes to increase
    over time because of provisions in the tax code that are not
    indexed fully for inflation and real, inflation-adjusted,
    income growth. That intrinsic tendency for taxes to increase
    relative to the size of the economy highlights the need to
    regularly adjust tax policies to avoid an ever-increasing tax
    burden in our economy.
                        Function By Function Description

                                  ----------

        The budget is the broad blueprint of the Congress's general
    priorities. It is not designed or intended to bind the
    committees of Congress to any specific program choices. Within
    this framework, some priority areas may be increased, and lower
    priorities reduced. Those details will be worked out in the
    next round, when the committees of jurisdiction write their
    legislative provisions as is envisioned by the procedures of
    the Budget Act. The Budget Committee's role is to set a broad,
    overall recommendation that reflects the Nation's priorities,
    and set the stage for the programmatic decisions that will be
    made by the committees of jurisdiction. The following
    presentation shows the resolution's recommended distribution of
    budget authority and outlays according to broad categories
    called ``budget functions.''

        The budget functions presented here are as follows:

        050 National Defense
        100 Homeland Security
        150 International Affairs
        250 Science, Space and Technology
        270 Energy
        300 Natural Resources and Environment
        350 Agriculture
        370 Commerce and Housing Credit
        400 Transportation
        450 Community and Regional Development
        500 Education, Training, Employment and Social Services
        550 Health
        570 Medicare
        600 Income Security
        650 Social Security
        700 Veterans Benefits
        750 Administration of Justice
        800 General Government
        900 Net Interest
        920 Allowances
        950 Undistributed Offsetting Receipts
                         FUNCTION 050: NATIONAL DEFENSE

                                  ----------

                                Function Summary

        Function 050 includes funds to develop, maintain, and equip
    the military forces of the United States. More than 95 percent
    of the funding in this function goes to Subfunction 051--
    Department of Defense [DOD] military activities; the remaining
    funding in the function applies to atomic energy defense
    activities of the Department of Energy (Subfunction 053), and
    other defense-related activities (Subfunction 054). Please note
    that the resolution carries Function 053 and 054 Homeland
    Security spending in Function 100.
        Function 050 BA rose from $292.1 billion in 1999 to $463.6
    billion in 2004, a 9.7-percent average annual growth rate.
    During the same time period, outlays rose from $274.9 billion
    to $452.9 billion, a 10.5-percent average annual growth rate
    (these figures include the effects of supplemental spending).
    The largest component of this was the budget of the Department
    of Defense, whose budget authority grew from $278.4 billion in
    1999 to $443.8 billion in 2004, a 9.8-percent average annual
    increase.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $419.6 billion in budget authority
    and $447.1 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $2,320.6 billion in budget authority and $2,284.9
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $1.4
    billion in budget authority and $2.4 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005, and totals $15.8 billion in budget authority
    and $16.9 billion in outlays over 5 years. Discretionary
    spending is $418.3 billion in budget authority and $444.7
    billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years, it is
    $2,304.7 billion in budget authority and $2,267.9 billion in
    outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        Function 050 contains numerous small mandatory accounts
    such as stock funds, trust funds, and gift funds whose receipts
    vary from year to year. The resolution assumes 2005 mandatory
    spending that matches the President's request. For 2004, the
    resolution accommodates $13 million to retroactively compensate
    service members for purchase of domestic airline tickets used
    for travel from the Iraq theater of war to their final
    destination. The Supplemental Appropriations Act for Fiscal
    Year 2004 (Public Law 108-106) specified that funds be used to
    reimburse service members, but DOD did not authorize
    disbursement until 19 December 2003. Under current government
    compensation rules, no decision can be implemented
    retroactively; hence there is a need to allocate direct
    spending to fund a provision that would specifically reimburse
    service members not compensated under the supplemental
    appropriation.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        Figures show a recommended increase of 7 percent (excluding
    the 2004 supplemental), fully accommodating the President's
    request. Department of Defense discretionary funding, at $401.8
    billion, matches the President's request. The national defense
    budget presented here is part of a multiyear plan enabling the
    military to fight the war against terrorism now, and to
    transform to counter unconventional threats in the future.
    Elsewhere (in Function 920) the resolution includes $50 billion
    to anticipate additional needs in the Afghanistan and Iraq
    theaters. This is a mid-range estimate for anticipated annual
    costs. It is not an attempt to predetermine the scope of
    operations or which weapons and supplies DOD will need, but
    rather an effort to make the budget reflect a likely future
    outlay.
        A special procedure provided for in the budget resolution
    would exempt appropriations related to the global war on
    terrorism, and hence a supplemental appropriations toward this
    end will not trigger a point at order.
        A saving of $199 million from the request in Functions 053
    and 054 can be attributed to the effort to maintain level
    funding in non-security areas of the budget; it should be
    noted, however, that the 2005 resolution total for these
    functions is $543 million more than the previous year's
    appropriations. This modest adjustment does not affect
    Department of Defense funding or ongoing contingency

                        FUNCTION 100: HOMELAND SECURITY

                                Function Summary

        This resolution includes a new budget function, Function
    100: Homeland Security. This addition is necessary because,
    since September 11, 2001, homeland security has become an
    important separate spending category.
        Function 100 comprises all Homeland Security funding in the
    Federal Government, excluding the portion provided by the
    Department of Defense. According to the Office of Management
    and Budget, Homeland Security is defined as ``a concerted
    national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the United
    States, reduce America's vulnerability to terrorism, and
    minimize the damage and recover from attacks that do occur.''
    About 58 percent of Homeland Security spending occurs in the
    Department of Homeland Security [DHS]. Other agencies with
    significant Homeland Security spending in the President's
    request include the Department of Defense (21 percent of
    requested Homeland Security funding, which the resolution
    carries in Function 050); the Department of Health and Human
    Services (9 percent); Department of Justice (5 percent);
    Department of Energy (3 percent); Department of Transportation
    (1 percent); and the Department of Agriculture (less than 1
    percent).
        Function 100 budget authority rose from $14.3 billion in
    2001 to $29.6 billion in 2004, a 27.4-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same period, outlays rose from $13.1
    billion to $24.8 billion, a 23.7-percent average annual growth
    rate. The largest component of this was the budget of the
    Department of Homeland Security, whose discretionary budget
    authority for Homeland Security spending grew from $10.0
    billion in 2001 to $23.5 billion in 2004, a 33.0-percent
    average annual increase.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $34.1 billion in budget authority
    and $30.0 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $179.8 billion in budget authority and $174.3
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $0.7
    billion in budget authority and $0.5 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005, and totals $5.9 billion in budget authority
    and $5.8 billion in outlays over 5 years. Discretionary
    spending is $33.4 billion in budget authority and $29.5 billion
    in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years, it is $173.9
    billion in BA and $168.5 billion in outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The resolution allows for the President's mandatory
    policies for Homeland Security. Most mandatory spending in this
    function consists of fee-funded activities. The collection of
    fees, mostly by the Transportation Security Administration
    [TSA], is the largest mandatory component. Mandatory spending
    finances some additional homeland security activities,
    generally border protection and immigration enforcement. Most
    of that spending is offset by immigration and customs user
    fees, which the budget records as offsetting receipts.
        The resolution assumes enactment of the House-passed Armed
    Forces Naturalization Act (H.R. 1954) which waives the
    application fees and shortens from 3 years to two the required
    length of service an individual must serve in the Armed Forces
    in order to become a naturalized U.S. citizen. On enactment,
    the measure would be retroactive to 11 September 2001. Because
    enactment would result in a reduction in immigration fees, it
    would increase mandatory spending by $1 million in 2003 and by
    $12 million in 2004.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The resolution fully accommodates the President's request
    for homeland security, less a 0.5-percent efficiency savings.
    The resolution notes the Views and Estimates letter of the
    Select Committee on Homeland Security, which states: ``The
    Committee is concerned that the Department [of Homeland
    Security] has not provided Congress with a comprehensive threat
    and vulnerability analysis to support the budgetary decisions
    and priorities contained in the DHS budget proposal. Without
    such analysis and budgetary justification, it is difficult for
    the Committee to fully and fairly evaluate whether the funding
    amounts and priorities contained in the DHS budget proposal are
    indeed appropriate.''
        Specific programs will be increased or decreased when the
    Appropriations subcommittees write their respective bills.
    Outyear levels are not binding and will be revisited in
    subsequent years.
                      FUNCTION 150: INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

                                Function Summary

        Function 150 includes international development and
    humanitarian assistance; international security assistance; the
    conduct of foreign affairs; foreign information and exchange
    activities; and international financial programs. The major
    agencies in this function include the Departments of State and
    Treasury, the United States Agency for International
    Development, and the Millennium Challenge Corporation.
        Function 150 budget authority rose from $37.9 billion in
    1999 to $43.6 billion in 2004, a 2.9 percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same time period, outlays rose from
    $15.2 billion to $29.3 billion, a 14.0 percent average annual
    growth rate. The largest component of this was the budget of
    the Department of State, whose budget authority grew from $8.8
    billion in 1999 to $10.6 billion in 2004, a 3.7 percent average
    annual increase.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $26.5 billion in budget authority
    and $32.8 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $138.5 billion in budget authority and $140.0
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is -$0.4
    billion in budget authority and -$3.0 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005, and totals $2.8 billion in budget authority
    and -$13.0 billion in outlays over 5 years. Discretionary
    spending is $26.9 billion in budget authority and $35.8 billion
    in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years, it is $135.8
    billion in budget authority and $153.0 billion in outlays.
        The negative budget authority and outlay levels in
    mandatory spending reflect receipts of the Foreign Military
    Sales Trust Fund, interest income earned on U.S. Government
    securities held by the Exchange Stabilization Fund, and the
    liquidation of economic assistance loans, foreign military
    financing loans, Export-Import Bank loans, loans to the United
    Kingdom, and loan guarantees to Israel.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        There are no specific mandatory assumptions in this
    function. In fiscal year 2005, the mandatory BA and outlay
    levels are negative, reflecting receipts of the Foreign
    Military Sales Trust Fund, and the liquidation of economic
    assistance loans, foreign military financing loans, Export-
    Import Bank loans, loans to the United Kingdom, and loan
    guarantees to Israel.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        Specific programs will be increased or decreased when the
    Appropriations subcommittees write their respective bills.
    Outyear levels are not binding and will be revisited in
    subsequent years.
              FUNCTION 250: GENERAL SCIENCE, SPACE AND TECHNOLOGY

                                Function Summary

        Function 250 consists of General Science, Space and
    Technology programs. The largest component of this function--
    about two-thirds of total spending is for the space flight,
    research, and supporting activities of the National Aeronautics
    and Space Administration [NASA]. The function also contains
    general science funding, including the budgets for the National
    Science Foundation [NSF], and the fundamental science programs
    of the Department of Energy [DOE].
        Function 250 budget authority rose from $18.9 billion in
    1999 to $22.8 billion in 2004, a 3.9-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same period, outlays rose from $18.1
    billion to $21.9 billion, a 3.9-percent average annual growth
    rate.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $22.8 billion in budget authority
    and $22.5 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $115.2 billion in budget authority and $113.5
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $3
    million in budget authority and $111 million in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005, and totals $154 million in budget authority
    and $321 million in outlays over 5 years. Discretionary
    spending is $22.8 billion in budget authority and $22.3 billion
    in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years, it is $115.1
    billion in budget authority and $113.2 billion in outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        There are no specific mandatory assumptions in this
    function.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        Specific programs will be increased or decreased when the
    Appropriations subcommittees write their respective bills.
    Outyear levels are not binding and will be revisited in
    subsequent years.
                              FUNCTION 270: ENERGY

                                Function Summary

        Function 270 includes civilian energy and environmental
    programs of the Department of Energy [DOE] (it does not include
    DOE's national security activities the National Nuclear
    Security Administration which are in Function 050, or its basic
    research and science activities, which are in Function 250).
    Function 270 also includes the Rural Utilities Service of the
    Department of Agriculture, the Tennessee Valley Authority
    [TVA], the U.S. Enrichment Corporation, the Federal Energy
    Regulatory Commission, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
        Function 270 budget authority rose from $979 million in
    1999 to $2.3 billion in 2004, an 18.9-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same time period, outlays dropped from
    $911 million to $59 million, a 42.2-percent average annual
    reduction rate. Receipts, repayments, and electricity sales
    (negative spending) result in negative budget authority and are
    the primary causes for the drop in outlays.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $2.9 billion in budget authority
    and $1.2 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $13.0 billion in budget authority and $5.2 billion
    in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is -$0.6 billion in
    budget authority and -$2.3 billion in outlays in fiscal year
    2005. Over the 2005-09 period, mandatory spending is -$4.7
    billion in budget authority and -$12.7 billion in outlays due
    to increasing offsetting receipts from various loan repayments
    and liquidations, electricity sales, and fees. Discretionary
    spending is $3.5 billion in budget authority and $3.5 billion
    in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years, it is $17.6
    billion in budget authority and $17.9 billion in outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        As noted, the negative figures in mandatory spending result
    from increasing offsetting receipts from various loan
    repayments and liquidations, electricity sales, and fees.
        The resolution accommodates the conference version of the
    H.R. 6, the Energy Policy Act of 2003, which passed the House
    on 18 November 2003, but has not been passed by the Senate. The
    accommodation is necessary to allow for a potential conference
    agreement. The assumption is reflected in the allocation to the
    Committee on Energy and Commerce. The authorizing committee is
    free to determine its own policies within the allocation
    limits.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        Specific programs will be increased or decreased when the
    Appropriations subcommittees write their respective bills.
    Outyear levels are not binding and will be revisited in
    subsequent years.
                FUNCTION 300: NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT

                                Function Summary

        Function 300 consists of water resources, conservation,
    land management, pollution control and abatement, and
    recreational resources. Major departments and agencies in this
    function are the Department of Interior, including the National
    Park Service [NPS], the Bureau of Land Management [BLM], the
    Bureau of Reclamation, and the Fish and Wildlife Service [FWS];
    conservation-oriented and land management agencies within the
    Department of Agriculture [USDA] including the Forest Service;
    the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] in
    the Department of Commerce; the Army Corps of Engineers; and
    the Environmental Protection Agency [EPA].
        Function 300 budget authority rose from $24.4 billion in
    1999 to $32.0 billion in 2004, a 5.6-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same period, outlays increased from
    $24.0 billion to $30.2 billion, a 4.7-percent average annual
    increase.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $31.2 billion in budget authority
    and $30.9 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $159.6 billion in budget authority and $159.9
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $2.7
    billion in budget authority and $1.8 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005. Over the 2005-09 period, mandatory spending
    increases by $15.7 billion in budget authority and $15.3
    billion in outlays. Discretionary spending is $28.5 billion in
    budget authority and $29.1 billion in outlays in fiscal year
    2005; and over 5 years, it is $143.9 billion in budget
    authority and $144.6 billion in outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The assumptions accommodate legislation, H.R. 313, to
    assist the United Mine Workers of America Combined Benefit Fund
    in averting financial crisis by transferring to it any
    additional interest from the Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation
    Fund. The measure was reported by the Committee on Resources on
    1 October 2003. The resolution also accommodates legislation
    that passed the House last year and is awaiting Senate action
    to increase the waiver requirement for certain local matching
    requirements for grants provided to American Samoa, Guam, the
    Virgin Islands, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
    Islands. These assumptions are reflected in the allocation to
    the Committee on Natural Resources, which is free to determine
    its own policies within the allocation limits. The
    accommodations are necessary to allow for a potential
    conference agreement.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The resolution can accommodate full funding for the Healthy
    Forests Initiative legislation (H.R. 1904) signed into law last
    year. The Healthy Forests Initiative is a critical tool for
    reducing the threat of severe wildfire and insect infestation
    in heavily forested communities.
        The resolution also can accommodate full funding for
    numerous other Federal agencies and programs, including the
    Army Corps of Engineers, the Superfund program, and reducing
    the Operations and Maintenance backlog within the National Park
    Service.
        Outyear levels are not binding and will be revisited in
    subsequent years.
                           FUNCTION 350: AGRICULTURE

                                Function Summary

        Function 350 includes funds for direct assistance and loans
    to food and fiber producers, export assistance, market
    information, inspection services, and agricultural research.
    Farm policy is driven by the Farm Security and Rural Investment
    Act of 2002, which provides producers with continued planting
    flexibility while protecting them against unique uncertainties
    such as poor weather conditions and unfavorable market
    conditions.
        Function 350 budget authority fell from $23.9 billion in
    1999 to $19.9 billion in 2004, a 3.6-percent average reduction
    rate. During the same time period, outlays dropped from $22.9
    billion to $18.4 billion, a 4.3-percent average annual
    reduction rate. The primary reason for this reduction is more
    favorable overall commodity prices. Commodity prices often
    fluctuate from year to year. This has a significant impact on
    mandatory programs, which account for the vast majority of
    spending within Function 350.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $21.1 billion in budget authority
    and $20.5 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $117.7 billion in budget authority and $112.9
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $16.3
    billion in budget authority and $15.4 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005. Over the 2005-09 period, mandatory spending
    increases by $93.4 billion in budget authority and $88.4
    billion in outlays. Discretionary spending is $4.8 billion in
    budget authority and $5.1 billion in outlays in fiscal year
    2005; and over 5 years, it is $24.3 billion in budget authority
    and $24.6 billion in outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The resolution assumes no new mandatory spending proposals.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The resolution can accommodate full funding for enhanced
    efforts to protect our food supply from Bovine Spongiform
    Encephalopathy [BSE], or Mad Cow Disease, as well as other
    important food safety and agricultural research programs within
    Function 350. Outyear levels are not binding and will be
    revisited in subsequent years.
                   FUNCTION 370: COMMERCE AND HOUSING CREDIT

                                Function Summary

        Function 370 includes four components: mortgage credit
    (usually negative budget authority because receipts tend to
    exceed the losses from defaulted mortgages); the Postal Service
    (mostly off budget); deposit insurance (negligible spending due
    to reserve supporting fees, etc.); and other advancement of
    commerce (the majority of the discretionary and mandatory
    spending in this function).
        The mortgage credit component of this function includes
    housing assistance through the Federal Housing Administration
    [FHA], the Federal National Mortgage Association [Fannie Mae],
    the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation [Freddie Mac], the
    Government National Mortgage Association [Ginnie Mae], and
    rural housing programs of the Department of Agriculture. The
    function also includes net postal service spending and spending
    for deposit insurance activities of banks, thrifts, and credit
    unions. Finally, most, but not all, of the Commerce Department
    is provided for in this function including the International
    Trade Administration, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Patent and
    Trademark Office [PTO], National Institute of Standards and
    Technology, National Telecommunications and Information
    Administration, and the Bureau of the Census; as well as
    independent agencies such as the Securities and Exchange
    Commission [SEC], the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the
    Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Communications Commission
    [FCC], and the majority of the Small Business Administration
    [SBA].
        More than two-thirds of the spending in function 370 is out
    of the FCC's Universal Service Fund. This fund collects
    receipts derived by certain telecommunications operators from
    charges on their consumers and customers to promote service to
    low-income users and high-cost areas, as well as new services.
        Function 370 budget authority rose from $9.3 billion in
    1999 to $17.2 billion in 2004, a 13.1-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same period, outlays rose from $1.6
    billion to $12.8 billion, a 51.6-percent average annual growth
    rate. (For growth comparison purposes, totals include homeland
    security funding now found in Function 100.)

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        For on-budget amounts, the resolution calls for $10.8
    billion in budget authority and $5.8 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005. The function totals are $50.0 billion in
    budget authority and $23.3 billion in outlays over 5 years.
    Mandatory spending is $9.7 billion in budget authority and $4.7
    billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005, and totals $44.4
    billion in budget authority and $17.7 billion in outlays over 5
    years. Discretionary spending is $1.1 billion in budget
    authority and $1.0 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and
    over 5 years, it is $5.6 billion in budget authority and $5.6
    billion in outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The resolution accommodates the following measures: H.R.
    758, the Business Checking Freedom Act, which passed the House
    on 1 April 2003; H.R. 522, the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform
    Act of 2003, which passed the House on 2 April 2003; and H.R.
    1375, the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2003,
    which passed the House on 17 March 2004. The accommodations are
    is necessary to allow for potential conference agreement. All
    three bills are awaiting action in the Senate. The assumptions
    are reflected in the allocation to the Committee on Financial
    Services.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The Committee on Appropriations will determine how funds
    will be apportioned among the various discretionary programs.
    Specific programs will be increased or decreased when the
    Appropriations subcommittees write their respective bills.
    Outyear levels are not binding and will be revisited in
    subsequent years.
                          FUNCTION 400: TRANSPORTATION

                                Function Summary

        Function 400 includes the Federal Highway Administration;
    the Federal Transit Administration; the National Rail Passenger
    Corporation [Amtrak]; highway, motor carrier and rail safety
    programs; the Federal Aviation Administration; the aeronautical
    activities of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
    [NASA]; the Coast Guard; and the Maritime Administration.
        Function 400 budget authority rose from $51.6 billion in
    1999 to $69.2 billion in 2004, a 6.0 percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same time period, outlays rose from
    $42.5 billion to $65.7 billion, a 9.1-percent average annual
    growth rate. The largest component of this was the Federal-Aid
    Highways program, whose budget authority grew from $29.3
    billion in 1999 to $33.4 billion in 2004, a 2.7 percent average
    annual increase. (For growth comparison purposes, totals
    include homeland security funding.)

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $65.0 billion in budget authority
    and $62.0 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $339.4 billion in budget authority and $328.3
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $47.2
    billion in budget authority and $2.0 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005, and totals $249.6 billion in budget authority
    and $8.8 billion in outlays over 5 years. Discretionary
    spending is $17.8 billion in budget authority and $60.1 billion
    in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years, it is $89.8
    billion in budget authority and $319.5 billion in outlays.
    Homeland security components formerly found in Function 400
    including the Transportation Security Administration, the
    United States Coast Guard, and the Federal Air Marshals are now
    recorded in Function 100: Homeland Security, and are consistent
    with the President's request.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The resolution creates a reserve fund that allows the
    chairman of the House Budget Committee to adjust the allocation
    of budget authority to the Committee on Transportation and
    Infrastructure for any measure that reauthorizes surface
    transportation programs and provides new budget authority for
    highway and transit spending. The adjustment may only be made
    if it is offset by changes in law, either included in the same
    measure or by previously enacted legislation. The language in
    the resolution regarding this contingency measure is identical
    to that included in the budget resolution for fiscal year 2004.
        The resolution assumes a stream of mandatory budget
    authority for a reauthorization of surface transportation
    programs. It also creates a reserve fund to provide additional
    budget authority for such a bill to the extent that it is
    offset in the same or other legislation.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        Specific programs will be increased or decreased when the
    Appropriations subcommittees write their respective bills.
    Outyear levels result from applying a simple computation of
    modest growth, consistent with the President's budget. Outyear
    levels are not binding and will be revisited in subsequent
    years.
                FUNCTION 450: COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT

                                Function Summary

        Function 450 includes programs that provide Federal funding
    for economic and community development in both urban and rural
    areas, including: Community Development Block Grants [CDBGs];
    the non-power activities of the Tennessee Valley Authority; the
    non-roads activities of the Appalachian Regional Commission;
    the Economic Development Administration [EDA]; and partial
    funding for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
        Function 450 budget authority rose from $11.3 billion in
    1999 to $16.7 billion in 2004, an 8.1-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same time period, outlays rose from
    $11.9 billion to $16.7 billion, a 7-percent average annual
    growth rate.
        A factor in this growth was the presence of Federal
    Emergency Management Agency [FEMA] funding for first responders
    and one-time New York City recovery funds in the wake of the
    events of 9-11. FEMA funding will appear in the Homeland
    Security Function for fiscal year 2005.(For growth comparison
    purposes, totals include homeland security funding now found in
    Function 100.)

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $11.9 billion in budget authority
    and $14.2 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $58.7 billion in budget authority and $61.2 billion
    in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $402 million in
    budget authority and -$183 million in outlays in fiscal year
    2005, and totals $780 million in budget authority and -$924
    million in outlays over 5 years. The negative figures appears
    because of receipts to revolving loan funds. Discretionary
    spending is $11.5 billion in budget authority and $14.4 billion
    in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years, it is $57.9
    billion in budget authority and $62.2 billion in outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The resolution assumes no new mandatory spending proposals.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The resolution does not assume specific levels for
    individual discretionary programs within Function 450. Instead,
    $11.5 billion in budget authority and $14.4 billion in outlays
    in fiscal year 2005 is assumed for overall discretionary
    spending within the function. The Committee on Appropriations
    will determine how these funds will be apportioned among the
    various discretionary Community and Regional Development
    programs. Outyear levels are not binding and will be revisited
    in subsequent years.
       FUNCTION 500: EDUCATION, TRAINING, EMPLOYMENT, AND SOCIAL SERVICES

                                Function Summary

        Function 500 primarily covers Federal spending within the
    Departments of Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services
    for programs that directly provide--or assist states and
    localities in providing--services to young people and adults.
    Its activities provide developmental services to low-income
    children, help fund programs for disadvantaged and other
    elementary and secondary school students, make grants and loans
    to post secondary students, and fund job-training and
    employment services for people of all ages.
        Function 500 budget authority rose from $56.6 billion in
    1999 to $89.5 billion in 2004, a 10-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same period, outlays rose from $50.6
    billion to $86.5 billion, a 11-percent average annual growth
    rate.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $92.5 billion in budget authority
    and $90.5 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $470.5 billion in budget authority and $465.4
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $11.8
    billion in budget authority and $10 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005, and totals $63 billion in budget authority
    and $55.5 billion in outlays over 5 years. Discretionary
    spending is $80.7 billion in budget authority and $80.5 billion
    in outlays in fiscal year 2005, and totals $407.4 billion in
    budget authority and $409.9 billion in outlays over 5 years.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The assumptions accommodate H.R. 438, the Teacher
    Recruitment and Retention Act of 2003, which passed the House
    on 9 July 2003 and is awaiting action in the Senate. The
    assumption is reflected in the allocation to the Committee on
    Education and the Workforce, which is free to determine its own
    policies within the allocation limits.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The resolution gives Function 500 priority status within
    the overall framework of level funding for fiscal year 2005 in
    non-defense, non-homeland-security spending. The resolution
    calls for an increase from level funding of $2.8 billion in
    budget authority and $3.55 billion in outlays. This increase is
    intended to accommodate increases in the funding levels for
    priority programs, such as special education state grants,
    Title I grants to local education agencies, and Pell Grants for
    low-income college students. Outyear levels are not binding and
    will be revisited in subsequent years.
                              FUNCTION 550: HEALTH

                                Function Summary

        Function 550 consists of health care services, including
    Medicaid, the Nation's major program covering medical and long-
    term care costs for low-income persons; the State Children's
    Health Insurance Program [SCHIP], health research and training,
    including the National Institutes of health [NIH] and substance
    abuse prevention and treatment; and consumer and occupational
    health and safety, including the Occupational Safety and Health
    Administration. Medicaid represents about 72 percent of the
    spending in this function.
        Function 550 budget authority rose from $142.2 billion in
    1999 to $241.8 billion in 2004, an 11.2-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same time period, outlays rose from
    $141.1 billion to $239.6 billion, an 11.2-percent average
    annual growth rate. The largest component of this was the
    budget of the Medicaid, whose Federal payments grew from $108.0
    billion in 1999 to $173.9 billion in 2004, a 10.0-percent
    average annual increase.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $245.1 billion in budget authority
    and $244.9 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $1,352.9 billion in budget authority and $1,350.3
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $198.8
    billion in budget authority and $198.9 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005, and totals $1,118.9 billion in budget
    authority and $1,119.9 billion in outlays over 5 years.
    Discretionary spending is $46.3 billion in budget authority and
    $46.1 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years,
    it is $233.9 billion in budget authority and $230.4 billion in
    outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The assumptions accommodate H.R. 4, the Personal
    Responsibility, work, and Family Promotion Act of 2003, which
    passed the House on 13 February 2003, and is awaiting action in
    the Senate. This accommodation is necessary to allow for a
    potential conference agreement. The assumption is reflected in
    the allocation to the Committee on Energy and Commerce.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The Committee on Appropriations will determine how funds
    will be apportioned among the various discretionary programs.
    Specific programs will be increased or decreased when the
    Appropriations subcommittees write their respective bills.
    Outyear levels are not binding and will be revisited in
    subsequent years.

                                 RESERVE FUNDS

        The resolution provides a reserve fund to reflect the
    savings from legislation that has passed the House of
    Representatives and is pending in the Senate ``that provides
    for the safe importation of FDA-approved prescription drugs or
    places limits on medical malpractice litigation.'' This reserve
    fund affects Function 550 as well as Function 570.
        The adjustment will be made by the chairman of the
    Committee on the Budget to the allocations and aggregates to
    reflect any resulting savings from any such measure. The effect
    of any adjustment would be to lock in the savings for deficit
    reduction. The Chairman of the Budget Committee will consult
    with the committees of jurisdiction before making any
    adjustments pursuant to this section.
        The resolution also provides a deficit neutral reserve fund
    for the period of fiscal years 2005-09 for legislation that
    addresses access to health care services and health insurance
    for the uninsured. The reserve funded is needed to allow an
    initiative for the uninsured to come to the floor as long as it
    is deficit neutral in the first year and over the 5-year
    period.
        The resolution also provides a reserve fund for the Family
    Opportunity Act. If legislation is reported by the Energy and
    Commerce Committee that provides Medicaid coverage for children
    with special needs (the Family Opportunity Act), the Chairman
    of the Budget Committee may adjust the levels in the
    allocations and aggregates to the extent such legislation is
    deficit neutral in fiscal year 2005, and the period of fiscal
    years 2005 through 2009. The reserve fund would allow these
    initiatives to come to the floor with offsets, as long as that
    initiative is deficit neutral in the first year and over the 5-
    year period.
                             FUNCTION 570: MEDICARE

                                Function Summary

        Function 570 reflects the Medicare Part A Hospital
    Insurance [HI] Program, Part B Supplementary Medical Insurance
    [SMI] Program, and premiums paid by qualified aged and disabled
    beneficiaries. In addition, with the enactment of H.R. 1 last
    year, the Medicare Advantage Program replaced Medicare+Choice
    under Part C and a new Voluntary Prescription Drug Benefit
    Program was established under Part D of Medicare. Prior to
    implementation of the new drug benefit in 2006, certain low-
    income seniors will be eligible for transitional low-income
    drug assistance of up to $600 in conjunction with their
    prescription drug discount card.
        Function 570 budget authority rose from $190.6 billion in
    1999 to $269.6 billion in 2004, a 7.2-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same time period, outlays rose from
    $190.4 billion to $268.8 billion, a 7.1-percent average annual
    growth rate. This function consists entirely of the Medicare
    program.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $288.2 billion in budget authority
    and $289.1 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $1,776.0 billion in budget authority and $1,776.4
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $284.0
    billion in budget authority and $285.1 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005, and totals $1,755.1 billion in budget
    authority and $1,755.8 billion in outlays over 5 years.
    Discretionary spending is $4.1 billion in budget authority and
    $4.0 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years,
    it is $20.9 billion in budget authority and $20.7 billion in
    outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The resolution assumes growth in mandatory spending to
    accommodate projected caseloads, inflation, and other normal
    factors. It also provides for the continuation of the
    modernization of Medicare with prescription drug coverage that
    was enacted by the President and Congress last year. The
    assumptions appear in the allocations of the respective
    committees of jurisdiction, which limit the amount that
    programs can be increased. The authorizing committees are free
    to determine their own policies, so long as they stay within
    the allocation limits.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The resolution gives Function 570 priority status within
    the overall framework of level funding for fiscal year 2005 in
    non-defense, non-homeland-security spending. Consequently, the
    resolution called for an increase from level funding of $0.302
    billion in budget authority and $0.199 billion in outlays. This
    amount accommodates the President's request for Function 570
    discretionary--including the President's $100-million request
    for additional funds for prescription drug administrative
    costs--without including any of the President's offsets.
    Outyear levels are not binding and will be revisited in
    subsequent years.

                                  RESERVE FUND

        The resolution provides a reserve fund to reflect the
    savings from legislation that has passed the House of
    Representatives and is pending in the Senate ``that provides
    for the safe importation of FDA-approved prescription drugs or
    places limits on medical malpractice litigation.'' This reserve
    fund affects Function 550 as well as Function 570.
        The adjustment will be made by the chairman of the
    Committee on the Budget to the allocations and aggregates to
    reflect any resulting savings from any such measure. The effect
    of any adjustment would be to lock in the savings for deficit
    reduction. The Chairman of the Budget Committee will consult
    with the committees of jurisdiction before making any
    adjustments pursuant to this section.
                         FUNCTION 600: INCOME SECURITY

                                Function Summary

        Function 600 includes most of the Federal Government's
    income support programs. These include: general retirement and
    disability insurance (excluding Social Security)--mainly
    through the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation [PBGC]--and
    benefits to railroad retirees. Other components are Federal
    employee retirement and disability benefits (including military
    retirees); unemployment compensation; low-income housing
    assistance, including section 8 housing; food and nutrition
    assistance, including food stamps and school lunch subsidies;
    and other income security programs.
        This last category includes: Temporary Assistance to Needy
    Families [TANF], the Government's principal welfare program;
    Supplemental Security Income [SSI]; spending for the refundable
    portion of the Earned Income Credit [EIC]; and the Low Income
    Home Energy Assistance Program [LIHEAP]. Agencies involved in
    these programs include the Departments of Agriculture, Health
    and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, the Social
    Security Administration (for SSI), and the Office of Personnel
    Management (for Federal retirement benefits).
        Function 600 budget authority rose from $242.3 billion in
    1999 to $329.2 billion in 2004, a 6.3-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same period, outlays rose from $242.4
    billion to $336.0 billion, a 6.7-percent average annual growth
    rate.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $337.3 billion in budget authority
    and $341.7 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $1,727.5 billion in budget authority and $1,742.3
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $291.5
    billion in budget authority and $290.7 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005, and totals $1,496.1 billion in budget
    authority and $1,492.0 billion in outlays over 5 years.
    Discretionary spending is $45.8 billion in budget authority and
    $51.0 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years,
    it is $231.4 billion in budget authority and $250.3 billion in
    outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The assumptions accommodate H.R. 4, The Personal
    Responsibility, Work, and Family Promotion Act of 2003, which
    passed the House on 13 February 2003; H.R. 7, The Charitable
    Giving Act of 2003, which passed the House on 17 September
    2003; and H.R. 1000, The Pension Security Act of 2003, which
    passed the House on 14 May 2003. All three measures are
    awaiting action in the Senate. These accommodations are needed
    to allow for a potential conference agreement.
        The assumptions also accommodate H.R. 3108, The Pension
    Funding Equity Act of 2003, which passed the House on 8 October
    2003, and is currently being conferenced with the Senate.
        The assumptions are reflected in the allocation to the
    Committee on Education and the Workforce, which limits the
    amount that programs can be increased.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The Committee on Appropriations will determine how these
    funds will be apportioned among the various discretionary
    income security programs. Outyear levels are not binding and
    will be revisited in subsequent years.
                         FUNCTION 650: SOCIAL SECURITY

                                Function Summary

        Function 650 consists of the Social Security program, or
    Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance [OASDI], the
    Government's largest entitlement program. Social Security
    consists of two parts, each tied to a trust fund. The Old-Age
    and Survivors Insurance [OASI] program provides monthly
    benefits to eligible retired workers and their families and
    survivors. The Disability Insurance [DI] program provides
    monthly benefits to eligible disabled workers and their
    families.
        Under provisions of the Budget Enforcement Act, Social
    Security trust funds are off budget. The presentations below,
    therefore, refer to only the portion of Function 650 that is on
    budget.
        On budget Function 650 budget authority rose from $10.8
    billion in 1999 to $13.4 billion in 2004, a 4-percent average
    annual growth rate. During the same time period, outlays also
    rose from $10.8 billion to $13.4 billion, a 4-percent average
    annual growth rate.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $15.1 billion in budget authority
    and $15.1 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $91.7 billion in budget authority and $91.7 billion
    in outlays over 5 years. All of this spending is mandatory; all
    discretionary spending in Function 650 is off budget.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        There are no specific mandatory assumptions in this
    function.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The Committee on Appropriations will determine how
    discretionary funds in this function are apportioned. Outyear
    levels are not binding and will be revisited in subsequent
    years.
                  FUNCTION 700: VETERANS BENEFITS AND SERVICES

                                Function Summary

        Function 700 includes funding for the Department of
    Veterans Affairs [VA], which provides benefits to veterans who
    meet various eligibility rules. Benefits range from income
    security for veterans, principally disability compensation and
    pensions; veterans education, training, and rehabilitation
    services; hospital and medical care for veterans; and other
    veterans' benefits and services, such as home loan guarantees.
    There are about 25 million veterans.
        Function 700 budget authority rose from $44.2 billion in
    1999 to $61.5 billion in 2004, a 6.8-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same time period, outlays rose from
    $43.2 billion to $60.1 billion, a 6.8-percent average annual
    growth rate. The two largest components of this were veterans
    medical care, whose budget authority grew from $17.8 billion in
    1999 to $28.0 billion in 2004, a 9.4-percent average annual
    increase and disability compensation, whose budget authority
    grew from $18.7 billion in 1999 to $30.7 billion in 2004, a
    10.4-percent average annual increase

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $70.5 billion in budget authority
    and $68.6 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $346.0 billion in budget authority and $341.7
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $39.8
    billion in budget authority and $39.5 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005, and totals $190.9 billion in budget authority
    and $190.4 billion in outlays over 5 years. Discretionary
    spending is $30.7 billion in budget authority and $29.1 billion
    in outlays in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years, it is $155.1
    billion in budget authority and $151.4 billion in outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        There are no specific mandatory assumptions in this
    function.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        During markup, the Budget Committee adopted an amendment
    offered by Representative Brown-Waite adding $200 million to
    the Chairman's Mark in veterans benefits and services. As a
    result, the reported resolution includes an increase in total
    veterans budget authority of $1.2 billion in fiscal year 2005
    over the President's request with none of the fees in the
    President's budget. Outyear levels are not binding and will be
    revisited in subsequent years.
                    FUNCTION 750: ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE

                                Function Summary

        Function 750 supports the majority of Federal justice and
    law enforcement programs and activities. This includes funding
    for the Department of Justice, as well as the financial law
    enforcement activities of the Department of the Treasury,
    Federal courts and prisons, and criminal justice assistance to
    State and local governments.
        Function 750 budget authority rose from $27.6 billion in
    1999 to $41.2 billion in 2004, an 8.4-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same time period, outlays rose from
    $26.1 billion to $39.6 billion, a 8.7-percent average annual
    growth rate. The largest component of this growth was for
    Federal law enforcement activities, with budget authority
    growing from $11.4 billion in 1999 to $19 billion in 2004, a
    10.8-percent average annual increase. The budget for the
    Federal Bureau of Investigation alone grew from $2.7 billion in
    1999 to $4 billion in 2004, an 8.7-percent average annual
    increase. (For growth comparison purposes, totals include
    homeland security funding.)

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $30.1 billion in budget authority
    and $30 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $140.4 billion in budget authority and $141 billion
    in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $5 billion in
    budget authority and $4.3 billion in outlays in fiscal year
    2005, and totals $13.2 billion in budget authority and $13.1
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Discretionary spending is
    $25.2 billion in budget authority and $25.7 billion in outlays
    in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years, it is $127.2 billion in
    budget authority and $127.9 billion in outlays. Homeland
    security components formerly found in Function 750 are now
    recorded in Function 100: Homeland Security.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The assumptions accommodate H.R. 975, the Bankruptcy Abuse
    Prevention and Consumer Protection Act or 2003, which passed
    the House on 19 March 2003 and is awaiting action in the
    Senate. The accommodation is to allow for a potential
    conference agreement. The assumption is reflected in the
    allocation to the Committee on the Judiciary, which is free to
    determine its own policies within the allocation limits.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The Committee on Appropriations will determine how these
    funds will be apportioned among the various discretionary
    programs. Outyear levels are not binding and will be revisited
    in subsequent years.
                        FUNCTION 800: GENERAL GOVERNMENT

                                Function Summary

        Function 800 consists of the activities of the Legislative
    Branch; the Executive Office of the President; general tax
    collection and fiscal operations of the Department of Treasury
    (including the Internal Revenue Service); the Office of
    Personnel Management, and the property and personnel costs of
    the General Services Administration; general purpose fiscal
    assistance to States, localities, the District of Columbia, and
    U.S. territories; and other general Government activities.
        Function 800 budget authority rose from $17.0 billion in
    1999 to $23.9 billion in 2004, a 7-percent average annual
    growth rate. During the same time period, outlays rose from
    $15.6 billion to $24.6 billion, a 9.5-percent average annual
    growth rate.(For growth comparison purposes, totals include
    homeland security funding.)

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $17.2 billion in budget authority
    and $17.9 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function
    totals are $86.8 billion in budget authority and $86.9 billion
    in outlays over 5 years. Mandatory spending is $1.8 billion in
    budget authority and $1.7 billion in outlays in fiscal year
    2005, and totals $8.9 billion in budget authority and $8.9
    billion in outlays over 5 years. Discretionary spending is
    $15.4 billion in budget authority and $16.2 billion in outlays
    in fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years, it is $77.9 billion in
    budget authority and $77.9 billion in outlays. Homeland
    security components formerly found in Function 800 including
    the Federal Protective Service are now recorded in Function
    100: Homeland Security, and are consistent with the President's
    request.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        Mandatory totals allow for inclusion of H.R. 2751, GAO
    Human Capital Reform Act of 2033, as passed by the House last
    year. The accommodation is to allow for a potential conference
    agreement. The resolution assumes growth in mandatory spending
    to accommodate projected inflation, and other normal factors.
    The assumptions appear in the allocations of the respective
    committees of jurisdiction, which are free to determine their
    own policies within the allocation limits.

                             DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

        The resolution can accommodate funding for the Payment in
    Lieu of Taxes [PILT] program at the fully authorized level.
    Specific programmatic decisions will be made by the Committee
    on Appropriations. Outyear levels are not binding and will be
    revisited in subsequent years.
                           FUNCTION 900: NET INTEREST

                                Function Summary

        Function 900 includes net interest, which is the interest
    paid for the Federal Government's borrowing less the interest
    received by the Federal Government from trust fund investments
    and loans to the public. It is a mandatory payment, with no
    discretionary components.
        Function 900 budget authority declined from $229.7 billion
    in 1999 to $154.9 billion in 2004, an average reduction of 7.6-
    percent a year. During the same time period, outlays declined
    from $229.8 billion to $154.9 billion, a 7.6-percent average
    annual reduction. The largest component of this decline was the
    interest received by off-budget trust funds.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $180.5 billion in budget authority
    and outlays in fiscal year 2005. The function totals are
    $1,234.6 billion in budget authority and outlays over 5 years.
    On-budget spending is $270.7 billion in budget authority and
    outlays in fiscal year 2005, and totals $1,780.1 billion in
    budget authority and outlays over 5 years. Off-budget spending
    is $90.2 billion in budget authority and outlays in fiscal year
    2005; and over 5 years, it is $545.5 billion in budget
    authority and outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        There are no specific mandatory assumptions in this
    function.
                            FUNCTION 920: ALLOWANCES

                                Function Summary

        Function 920, Allowances, is used for planning purposes to
    address the budgetary effects of proposals or assumptions that
    cross various other budget functions. Once such changes are
    enacted, the budgetary effects are distributed to the
    appropriate budget functions in past years.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for $50.0 billion in discretionary
    budget authority and $24.9 billion in outlays in fiscal year
    2005. This provides for an expected supplemental spending bill
    to address operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. The function
    totals are $50.0 billion in budget authority and $49.8 billion
    in outlays over 5 years. Discretionary spending is $50.0
    billion in budget authority and $24.9 billion in outlays in
    fiscal year 2005; and over 5 years, it is $50.0 billion in
    budget authority and $49.8 billion in outlays.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        There is no mandatory spending in this function.
                FUNCTION 950: UNDISTRIBUTED OFFSETTING RECEIPTS

                                Function Summary

        Function 950 consists of receipts to the Treasury. Receipts
    recorded in this function are either intrabudgetary (a payment
    from one Federal agency to another, such as agency payments to
    the retirement trust funds) or proprietary (a payment from the
    public for some kind of business transaction with the
    Government). The main types of receipts recorded in this
    function are: the payments Federal employees and agencies make
    to employee retirement trust funds; payments made by companies
    for the right to explore and produce oil and gas on the Outer
    Continental Shelf, and payments by those who bid for the right
    to buy or use public property or resources, such as the
    electromagnetic spectrum. These receipts are treated as
    negative spending.
        On-budget receipts (or decline in spending) in budget
    authority and outlays have increased over the past 5 years from
    $33.1 billion in 1999 to $47.2 billion in 2004 for Function
    950, an average annual increase of 7.4 percent. The off-budget
    receipts have increased from $7.39 billion in 1999 to $11.26
    billion in 2004, an average annual increase of 8.8 percent.

                    Summary of Committee-Reported Resolution

        The resolution calls for -$63.7 billion in budget authority
    and -$63.8 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2005. (The minus
    signs indicate receipts into the Treasury.) The function totals
    are -$360.4 billion in budget authority and -$361.4 billion in
    outlays over 5 years.

                               MANDATORY SPENDING

        The assumptions accommodate H.R. 1320, which passed the
    House on 11 June 2003, and is awaiting action in the Senate.
    Although H.R. 1320 has budgetary effect in Function 950
    (Undistributed Offsetting Receipts) because it is a receipt
    against spending, it is within the scope of the Federal
    Communications Commission. The accommodation is to allow for a
    potential conference agreement.

                                 Reconciliation

                                  ----------

        As permitted in Section 310 of the Congressional Budget Act
    (2 U.S.C. 641), the budget resolution provides for two
    reconciliation bills. The first instructs five authorizing
    committees to reconcile and report changes in law necessary to
    achieve the direct spending and revenue levels provided for in
    the budget resolution to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in
    specific programs in their jurisdictions. They must submit
    their legislative text to the Budget Committee by July 15,
    2004. The second is an instruction to Ways and Means Committee
    only, to reduce the level of revenue collected by the Federal
    Government by a specified amount (see Table 16 below for
    Reconciliation levels). The committee must submit its
    legislative text to the full House by October 1, 2004.
        Any committee receiving a reconciliation directive must
    increase or decrease spending by the specified amount, or in
    the case of revenue, increase or decrease revenue by the
    specified amount (this last instruction is almost exclusively a
    directive to the Ways and Means Committee). The committees may
    achieve the amounts specified in any manner they wish. When a
    directive is received, the committees hold a markup as they
    would on any other bill, but it is reported to the Budget
    Committee instead of the House. The Budget Committee then binds
    all the submissions together and votes the combined measure out
    of committee as a single bill the Budget Committee may not make
    any changes in the submitted text, except the ministerial task
    of binding it together. The committees being given directives
    are given a deadline for reporting their legislative text to
    the Budget Committee. If only one committee is reconciled to
    make changes, as in this case with the second reconciliation
    bill, only a directive to the Ways and Means Committee is
    included, it will report that measure directly to the House,
    not the Budget Committee.
        A reconciliation bill is protected in the Senate: it has an
    automatic time limit on debate and cannot be filibustered hence
    passage only requires 51 votes. A provision that doesn't
    increase or decrease spending (or revenue) is considered
    extraneous and hence violates the Byrd Rule, and may be removed
    from the bill, unless 60 Senators vote to waive the point of
    order. Reconciliation does not apply to discretionary spending,
    which is controlled by the Appropriations Committee.
        For the first reconciliation bill, the committees which
    must submit legislative language to the Budget Committee are as
    follows: Committee on Agriculture, Committee on Education and
    the Workforce, Committee on Energy and Commerce, Committee on
    Government Reform, and the Committee on Ways and Means. The
    committees may make whatever changes in the law they deem
    appropriate as long as they achieve the specified amount of
    savings for fiscal year 2005 and for the period of fiscal years
    2005 through 2009. For instance, in discussions between the
    Committee on Government Reform and the Budget Committee, the
    former has expressed an interest in possibly reporting
    legislation that might increase resources to authorize
    information sharing to allow Federal benefit program limited
    access to Federal and state administrative date a to verify
    eligibility. Similarly the Education Committee has indicated
    that it will focus on legislation that provides fairness in
    Federal workers' compensation.
        The second reconciliation bill is designed to allow one or
    more bills related to taxation to be moved under reconciliation
    procedures. The reconciliation instruction directs the
    Committee on Ways and Means to report a measure that will
    reduce taxes by $13.182 billion for fiscal year 2005 and by
    $137.850 billion from 2005 through 2009. No specific tax bill
    or bills are assumed, though the amounts included in the
    instruction would allow for a bill that extends certain tax
    provisions, such as the tax relief provided for in 2001 (in the
    Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act), and the
    accelerations of the phase in of certain tax credits, such as
    the 10-percent tax bracket, the child care tax credit and the
    marriage-penalty tax relief (from the Jobs and Growth Tax
    Relief Reconciliation Act).
        Because tax measures often include tax credits, the
    directive to Ways and Means includes the authorization for the
    Chairman of the Budget Committee to adjust the reconciliation
    instruction, the relevant allocations and aggregates, in order
    to allow for an increase in outlays that is caused by these
    credits. The authority, though, may be made for a
    reconciliation bill that costs more in total outlays and
    revenue reduction than the underlying reconciliation
    instruction.
        The following table indicates the amounts required from
    each reconciled committee:

                         Section By Section Description

                                  ----------

        The budget resolution establishes an overall budgetary
    framework, which includes aggregate levels of total new budget
    authority and outlays, total Federal revenues and the amount by
    which revenues should be changed, the surplus or deficit, new
    budget authority and outlays for each major functional
    category, the debt held by the public, the debt subject to the
    statutory limit, and directives to authorizing committees to
    submit legislation achieving specified changes in revenue and
    mandatory spending levels.

      SECTION 1. CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2005

        Subsection (a), in accordance with section 301(a) of the
    Congressional Budget Act of 1974, revises the appropriate
    budgetary levels for the current year, fiscal year 2004, and
    establishes the levels for fiscal year 2005, and each of the 4
    years following the budget year, fiscal years 2006 through
    2009.
        For fiscal year 2005, it establishes a binding ceiling on
    spending and a floor on revenue. The accompanying report
    provides a lump sum allocation of discretionary spending
    authority that, in turn, is distributed to thirteen
    suballocations for spending on the various programs, projects
    and activities that need to be funded on an annual basis
    through appropriations measures. Allocations are also provided
    to the authorizing committees for fiscal year 2005.
        The budget resolution also updates the fiscal year 2004
    spending levels to take into account any variations in spending
    or revenue laws after the fiscal year 2004 budget resolution
    was passed. The report also includes revised allocations to the
    relevant committees for legislation that would be effective in
    the current fiscal year.
        The 5-year period of fiscal years 2005 through 2009 is
    important because bills that increase direct spending are
    subject to 5-year allocations for the period of fiscal years
    2005 through 2009. This is also the case with revenues.
        Subsection (b) sets out the table of contents of the
    resolution.

                    Title I--Recommended Levels and Amounts

                  SECTION 101. RECOMMENDED LEVELS AND AMOUNTS

        Consistent with section 301 of the Congressional Budget Act
    of 1974, this section establishes the recommended levels for
    revenue, reduction in revenue, total new budget authority,
    total budget outlays, surpluses or deficits, debt held by the
    public, and the debt subject to the statutory limit. The
    recommended level of revenue operates as a floor against which
    all revenue bills are measured pursuant to section 311 of the
    Budget Act. Similarly, the recommended levels of new budget
    authority and budget outlays serve as a ceiling on the
    consideration of subsequent spending. The surplus or deficit
    levels reflect only on-budget outlays and revenue and hence do
    not reflect most outlays and receipts related to the Social
    Security program and certain Postal Service operations. The
    debt subject to statutory limit aggregates refers to the
    portion of gross Federal debt issued by the Treasury to the
    public or another government fund or account, whereas the debt
    held by the public is the amount of debt issued and held by
    entities or individuals other than the U.S. Government.

                    SECTION 102. MAJOR FUNCTIONAL CATEGORIES

        As further required by section 301(a) of the Budget Act,
    section 102 establishes the appropriate budgetary levels for
    the functional categories for the current fiscal year, 2004,
    the budget year, fiscal year 2005, and fiscal years 2005
    through 2009. The amount of spending included in any function
    level for fiscal year 2005 is further described in the
    ``Function By Function Description'' in this report.
        The functions are as follows:

        050 National Defense
        100 Homeland Security
        150 International Affairs
        250 Science, Space and Technology
        270 Energy
        300 Natural Resources and Environment
        350 Agriculture
        370 Commerce and Housing Credit
        400 Transportation
        450 Community and Regional Development
        500 Education, Training, Employment and Social Services
        550 Health
        570 Medicare
        600 Income Security
        650 Social Security
        700 Veterans Benefits
        750 Administration of Justice
        800 General Government
        900 Net Interest
        920 Allowances
        950 Undistributed Offsetting Receipts

                            Title II--Reconciliation

                      SECTION 201. GENERAL RECONCILIATION

        As permitted in Section 310 of the Congressional Budget Act
    of 1974, the budget resolution includes reconciliation
    instructions to specified committees of the House of
    Representatives. These instructions require the committees to
    report legislative text to amend laws in their jurisdiction.
    These recommendations are submitted to the Budget Committee,
    which then binds them together and votes whether to report
    them, without substantive change, to the full House. Where only
    one committee is given a reconciliation instruction to be
    included in a single bill, that legislation may be reported
    directly to the full House.
        Section 201(a) directs five committees to report changes in
    programs within their jurisdiction to the Budget Committee by
    July 15, 2004. The committees that must submit legislative
    language to the Budget Committee are as follows: Committee on
    Agriculture, Committee on Education and the Workforce,
    Committee on Energy and Commerce, Committee on Government
    Reform, and the Committee on Ways and Means. Though each
    committee determines the policy and program changes, savings
    must be in the mandatory spending category. For instance, a
    reduction in an authorization level for spending subject to
    annual appropriations, is categorized as discretionary spending
    and would not be estimated as producing mandatory savings as
    the reconciliation process requires. (Please see Table 16 in
    the Reconciliation section of this report for the specific
    amounts in savings that must be reported to the Budget
    Committee by each reconciled committee.)
        The committees may make whatever changes in the law they
    deem appropriate as long as they achieve the specified amount
    of savings for fiscal year 2005 and for the period of fiscal
    years 2005 through 2009. For instance, in discussions between
    the Committee on Government Reform and the Budget Committee,
    the former has expressed an interest in possibly reporting
    legislation that might increase resources to authorize
    information-sharing to allow Federal benefit programs limited
    access to Federal and state administrative data to verify
    eligibility. Similarly the Education Committee has indicated
    that it will focus on legislation that provides fairness in
    Federal workers' compensation.
        Section 201(b) directs that, by October 1, 2004, the Ways
    and Means Committee must report directly to the floor of the
    House a bill that may allow for making permanent expiring tax
    relief. Such legislation must reduce revenues by no more than
    $13.182 billion in fiscal year 2005 and by more than $137.580
    billion over the 2005-09 period. This decrease may be in
    whatever priorities the Ways and Means Committee determines,
    though it is in sufficient magnitude to allow a reconciliation
    bill that extends the provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax
    Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, which reduced marginal
    income tax rates, phased in an elimination of the marriage tax
    penalty, and phased in an increase in the child tax credit. In
    addition, certain provisions in the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief
    Reconciliation Act of 2003 could also be extended, such as the
    accelerated phase-in of the child tax credit, the 10-percent
    tax bracket, and marriage penalty relief. It does not include
    other revenue changes that are reflected in the revenue
    aggregates which would have to be considered outside of
    reconciliation.
        The section also provides authority for the Budget
    Committee Chairman to adjust the reconciliation instructions
    should the bill reported include a mix of outlays and revenue,
    as long as there is no net increase in the deficit in the first
    year and over the 5-year period, relative to the underlying
    reconciliation instruction. Though the reconciliation
    instruction only requires revenue to be reduced, legislation
    moving under this process could increase outlays because some
    of the provisions may effect refundable tax credits and
    payments. These payments to low-income individuals and families
    are categorized as direct spending and hence will cause an
    increase in outlays. To keep the spending and revenue levels
    accurate, this section gives authority to the Chairman of the
    Budget Committee to make adjustments to the reconciliation
    instructions, the allocations, and the aggregates to reflect
    whatever mix of outlay increases and revenue reductions the
    reconciliation bill makes.

              SECTION 202. SUBMISSION OF REPORT ON DEFENSE SAVINGS

        This section requires the House Armed Services Committee to
    submit to the Budget Committee a set of findings that identify
    two billion dollars in savings from activities that are
    determined to be of low priority or wasteful or unnecessary to
    national defense. These savings then can be used to accommodate
    other priorities such as force protection, munitions and
    surveillance capabilities. The report must be submitted by May
    15, 2004. Its submission would not be considered under
    reconciliation procedures and it is assumed the savings would
    be discretionary. The Budget Committee Chairman is then
    required to submit the report for inclusion in the
    Congressional Record by no later than May 21, 2004.

               Title III Reserve Funds and Contingency Procedure

        Pursuant to section 301(b)(4) of the Congressional Budget
    Act of 1974, the resolution provides the Chairman of the House
    Budget Committee with the authority to increase the budget
    aggregates, and in some cases the allocations, for specified
    legislation whose costs are not assumed in the allocation and/
    or aggregates. This section of the Budget Act permits the
    budget resolution to include ``such other matters, and require
    such other procedures, relating to the budget, as may be
    appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Act.'' Without
    these adjustments, such legislation reported by the committees
    of jurisdiction would exceed the applicable committee's
    allocations. This would violate section 302(f) of the Budget
    Act and subject the measure to a point of order and preclude
    the House from considering it. Each of the reserve funds
    established under this title apply to reported bills,
    amendments, and conference reports.

     Subtitle A--Reserve Funds for Legislation Assumed in Budget Aggregates

    SECTION 301. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR HEALTH INSURANCE FOR THE
                                   UNINSURED

        This section allows adjustments to be made in the
    allocations and aggregates for certain deficit neutral
    legislation. If legislation is reported by a committee that
    provides health insurance for the uninsured, the Chairman of
    the Budget Committee may adjust the levels in the allocations
    and aggregates to the extent such legislation is deficit
    neutral in fiscal year 2005, and the period of fiscal years
    2005 through 2009. Typically, committees are given an
    allocation of budget authority and may not spend above that
    level in the first year and the 5-year period covered by the
    budget resolution. This allocation may include increases to
    enable initiatives to move through the process without being
    subject to Budget Act points of order. This section would
    enable these initiatives to come to the floor as long as that
    initiative is deficit neutral in the first year and over the 5
    year period.

     SECTION 302. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR THE FAMILY OPPORTUNITY
                                      ACT

        This section allows adjustments to be made in the
    allocations and aggregates for certain deficit neutral
    legislation. If legislation is reported by the Energy and
    Commerce Committee that provides Medicaid coverage for children
    with special needs (the Family Opportunity Act), the Chairman
    of the Budget Committee may adjust the levels in the
    allocations and aggregates to the extent such legislation is
    deficit neutral in fiscal year 2005, and the period of fiscal
    years 2005 through 2009. This section would allow these
    initiatives to come to the floor with offsets, as long as that
    initiative is deficit neutral in the first year and over the 5
    year period.

       SECTION 303. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR MILITARY SURVIVORS'
                                  BENEFIT PLAN

        Section 303 establishes a deficit-neutral reserve fund
    should legislation be reported, an amendment offered, or
    conference report submitted which increases military survivor
    benefits. The purpose of this section is to encourage an
    examination of existing mandatory spending accounts so that
    appropriate reductions may be used to offset a potential
    survivor benefit expansion. The committee believes that policy
    reform with respect to military survivor benefits is achievable
    in a manner that alleviates inequities in existing policy while
    remaining within a responsible budget framework.

               SECTION 304. RESERVE FUND FOR PENDING LEGISLATION

        This section allows an adjustment to be made for any bill,
    including a bill that provides for the safe importation of FDA-
    approved prescription drugs or places limits on medical
    malpractice litigation, that has been adopted by the House in
    the first session of the 108th Congress and is acted on by the
    Senate, enacted by the Congress, and presented to the
    President. The adjustment, made by the chairman of the
    Committee on the Budget to the allocations and aggregates to
    reflect any resulting savings from any such measure. The effect
    of any adjustment would be to lock in the savings for deficit
    reduction. The Chairman of the Budget Committee will consult
    with the committees of jurisdiction before making any
    adjustments pursuant to this section.

                       Subtitle B--Contingency Procedure

         SECTION 311. CONTINGENCY PROCEDURE FOR SURFACE TRANSPORTATION

        This section provides for an increase above the levels
    provided for in the budget resolution should the Transportation
    Committee and the Appropriations Committee report certain kinds
    of legislation or spending measures, and which includes offsets
    for the additional spending. The language in the resolution
    regarding this contingency measure is identical to that
    included in the budget resolution for fiscal year 2004. A
    comprehensive transportation measure is expected to be enacted
    some time before the end of fiscal year 2004 and the Budget
    Committee expects to work closely with the Transportation
    Committee as that measure proceeds through the legislative
    process.
        Subsection (a) creates a reserve fund that allows the
    chairman of the House Budget Committee to adjust the allocation
    of budget authority to the Committee on Transportation and
    Infrastructure for any measure that reauthorizes surface
    transportation programs and provides new budget authority for
    highway and transit spending.
        Subsection (b) creates a reserve fund that allows the
    chairman of the House Budget Committee to adjust the allocation
    of outlays to the Committee on Appropriations for any measure
    that sets total obligation limitations higher than the amount
    assumed in the resolution.

                          Title IV--Budget Enforcement

              SECTION 401. RESTRICTIONS ON ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS

        Section 401 imposes a limitation on advance appropriations
    similar to a provision included in the last several budget
    resolutions. It effectively limits which programs may receive
    an advance appropriation and an overall amount of advanced
    appropriations.
        The section includes a general restriction that limits the
    programs that may receive an advance appropriation and the
    total level of such appropriations. Advance appropriations may
    be provided for the accounts in appropriation bills identified
    under the section ``Accounts Identified Advanced
    Appropriations'' in the Joint Statement of Managers on the
    Conference Report on the Budget Resolution. The list is
    expected to be the same as that which appears in this report in
    the section ``Additional Report Language'' and with the same
    heading. Total advance appropriations for these accounts may
    not exceed $23.568 billion in budget authority. The amount is
    essentially the same as provided in previous budget
    resolutions, but it was adjusted to reflect advance
    appropriations provided for any year.
        The section defines an ``advance appropriation'' as any new
    discretionary budget authority making general appropriations or
    continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2005 that first
    becomes available for any fiscal year after 2005.
        The limitation may be enforced by any member making a point
    of order at the appropriate time against any advance
    appropriations not falling within an exception or exceeding the
    overall limit. The effect of a point of order under this
    section, if sustained by the Chair, is to cause the
    appropriation(s) to be stricken from the bill or joint
    resolution. The bill itself, however, would continue to be
    considered in the House.

                       SECTION 402. EMERGENCY LEGISLATION

        Section 402 provides Congress with the authority to
    designate spending provisions as ``emergencies.'' It adopts
    criteria for evaluating emergency spending. It also exempts
    supplemental appropriations for the Department of Defense for
    contingency operations related to the global war on terrorism
    as exempt from budget controls.
        Section 402(a) provides a special exemption from budget
    controls for a supplemental spending measure for the Department
    of Defense for ``contingency operations related to the global
    war on terrorism.'' Though $50 billion has been budgeted for
    fiscal year 2005 in the budget resolution for this purpose, the
    exact final amount has yet to be determined. The final level of
    the supplemental will depend on the President's request and the
    response of the appropriations committees of the House and the
    Senate.
        Subsection (b) exempts spending designated as an emergency
    under this section from the budget resolution and as such
    emergency designated spending would not trigger a point of
    order. This is largely the same procedure as was included in
    the budget resolution from fiscal year 2004, H. Con. Res 95.
    Instead of adjusting the allocations and budget aggregates by
    the amount designated as an emergency, as was the case prior to
    the expiration of the emergency designation at the end of
    fiscal year 2002, subsection (b) provides that the spending (or
    receipts) resulting from such a provision will not be counted
    for purposes of determining whether a measure complies with the
    budget resolution. This is consistent with the congressional
    scoring conventions prior to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
    Assuming a measure that includes this emergency designation is
    otherwise in compliance with the budget resolution, it would
    not be subject to a point of order under sections 302(f),
    303(a), 311(a) or 401 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
        Committees reporting a measure that designates spending as
    an emergency should include in the accompanying report, or the
    conference committee in the joint statement of managers, a
    statement justifying the emergency designation on the basis of
    the following criteria:
        ``An emergency requirement if the underlying situation
    poses a threat to life, property, or national security and is
        (i) sudden, quickly coming into being, and not building up
    over time;
        (ii) an urgent, pressing, and compelling need requiring
    immediate action;
        (iii) subject to subparagraph (B), unforeseen,
    unpredictable, and unanticipated; and
        (iv) not permanent, temporary in nature.''
        This definition was adapted from criteria developed by
    previous administrations as part of an OMB Circular (A-11) on
    the preparation and submission of budget estimates.
        The subsection continues the practice of allowing the
    provisions designated as emergencies to be exempt from the
    budget controls and points of orders of the Congressional
    Budget Act.

     SECTION 403. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 13301 THE BUDGET ENFORCEMENT ACT
                                    OF 1990

        This section provides authority to include the
    administrative expenses related to Social Security in the
    allocation to the Appropriations Committee. This language is
    necessary to ensure that the Appropriations Committee retains
    control of administrative expenses through the Congressional
    budget process.
        In the 106th Congress, the joint Leadership of the House
    and Senate Budget Committees decided to discontinue including
    administrative expenses in the budget resolution. This change
    was intended to make the budget resolution consistent with the
    Congressional Budget Office's baseline which does not include
    administrative expenses for Social Security.
        At the same time, the House Budget Committee believed that
    these expenses should continue to be reflected in the 302(a)
    allocations to the Appropriations Committee. Absent a waiver of
    section 302(a) of the Budget Act, the inclusion of these
    expenses in the allocation is construed as violating 302(a) of
    the Budget Act which states that the allocations must reflect
    the discretionary amounts in the budget resolution (and
    arguably, section 13301 of the Budget Enforcement Act, which
    states that Social Security benefits and revenues are off-
    budget).

      SECTION 404. APPLICATION AND EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN ALLOCATIONS AND
                                   AGGREGATES

        This section sets forth the procedures for making
    adjustments for the reserve funds included in this resolution.
    Subsection (a)(1) and (2) provide that the adjustments may only
    be made during the interval that the legislation is under
    consideration and do not take effect until the legislation is
    actually enacted. This is approximately consistent with the
    procedures for making adjustments for various initiatives under
    section 314 of the Congressional Budget Act.
        Subsection (a)(3) provides that in order to make the
    adjustments provided for in the reserve funds, the Chairman of
    the House Budget Committee is directed to insert these
    adjustments in the Congressional Record.
        Subsection (b) clarifies that any adjustments made under
    any of the reserve funds in the resolution have the same effect
    as if they were part of the original levels set forth in
    section 101. Therefore the adjusted levels are used to enforce
    points of order against legislation inconsistent with the
    allocations and aggregates included in the concurrent
    resolution on the budget.
        Subsection (c) clarifies that the House Budget Committee
    determines the levels and estimates used to enforce points of
    order, as is the case for enforcing budget-related points of
    order. This section of the Budget Act provides the Chairman of
    the Budget Committee with the authority to advise the Chairman
    of the Committee of the whole House on the appropriate levels
    and estimates related to legislation being considered on the
    floor.

                          Title V--Sense of the House

           SECTION 501. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON SPENDING ACCOUNTABILITY

        Section 501 includes a Sense of the House on Spending
    Accountability. The language indicates that it is the sense of
    the House that authorizing committees should actively engage in
    oversight utilizing a specified lists of metrics, that all
    Federal programs should be periodically reauthorized and
    funding for unauthorized programs should be level-funded in
    fiscal year 2005 unless there is a compelling justification,
    that committees should submit written justifications for
    earmarks, that the fiscal year 2005 budget resolution should be
    vigorously enforced, that legislation should be enacted
    establishing statutory limits on appropriations and a PAY-AS-
    YOU-GO rule for new and expanded entitlement programs, and that
    Congress should make every effort to offset nonwar-related
    supplemental appropriations.

             SECTION 502. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON ENTITLEMENT REFORM

        Section 502 includes a sense of the House on Entitlement
    Reform.
                        The Congressional Budget Process

                                  ----------

        The spending and revenue levels established in the budget
    resolution are executed through two parallel, but separate,
    mechanisms: allocations to the appropriations and authorizing
    committees, and reconciliation directives to the authorizing
    committees. The budget resolution may include instructions
    directing the authorizing committees to report legislation
    complying with entitlement, revenue, deficit or debt reduction
    targets. The report accompanying the budget resolution
    distributes or ``allocates'' amounts set forth in the budget
    aggregates for programs, projects and activities to the
    Appropriations Committee for annual appropriations and the
    authorizing committees if they have permanent or multiyear
    spending authority. For fiscal year 2005 the budget resolution
    reported from the Budget Committee includes certain
    reconciliation instructions.
        As required under Section 302(a) of the Congressional
    Budget Act of 1974, the discretionary spending levels
    established in the budget resolution are allocated to the
    Appropriations Committee and the mandatory spending levels are
    allocated to each of the authorizing committees with mandatory
    spending authority. These levels are enforced through points of
    order as discussed in the section ``Enforcing the Budget
    Resolution.'' Amounts provided under ``current law'' encompass
    programs that affect direct spending entitlement and other
    programs that have spending authority or offsetting receipts.
    Amounts subject to discretionary action refer to programs that
    require subsequent legislation to provide the necessary
    spending authority. Amounts provided under ``reauthorizations''
    reflect amounts assumed to reauthorize expiring mandatory
    programs.
        The report accompanying the budget resolution provides
    allocations of budget authority and outlays for each of the
    authorizing committees for the current year (fiscal year 2004),
    the budget year (fiscal year 2005), and the 5-year period
    (fiscal years 2005 through 2009). Section 302 of the
    Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (as modified by the Balanced
    Budget Act of 1997) requires that allocations of budget
    authority be provided in the budget resolution for the first
    fiscal year and at least the 4 ensuing fiscal years (except for
    the Committee on Appropriations which only receives an
    allocation for the budget year).

                            Appropriations Committee

        The report accompanying the budget resolution allocates a
    lump sum of discretionary budget authority assumed in the
    resolution and corresponding outlays to the Committee on
    Appropriations.

                         TERM OF THE 302(A) ALLOCATION

        The allocation to the Appropriations Committee is for the
    fiscal year commencing on 1 October 2004. Unlike the
    authorizing committees, the Appropriations Committee does not
    receive a 5-year allocation of budget authority and outlays.

                               302(B) ALLOCATION

        Upon receiving its 302(a) allocation, the Appropriations
    Committee is required to divide the allocation among its 13
    subcommittees. The amount each subcommittee receives
    constitutes its allocation pursuant to section 302(b) of the
    Congressional Budget Act.

                             Authorizing Committees

        The authorizing committees are allocated a lump sum of new
    budget authority along with the corresponding outlays. The
    committees may be allocated additional budget authority
    categorized as subject to discretionary action. This occurs
    when the budget resolution assumes a new or expanded mandatory
    program or a reduction in an existing program. Such spending
    authority must be provided through subsequent legislation and
    is not controlled through the annual appropriations process.

                         TERM OF THE 302(A) ALLOCATION

        Since the spending authority for the authorizing committees
    is multi-year or permanent, the allocations are for the
    forthcoming budget year commencing on October 1 and a 5-year
    total for fiscal years 2005 through 2009.
        Unlike the Appropriations Committee, the authorizing
    committees are provided a single allocation of new budget
    authority (divided between current law and discretionary
    action) that is not provided through annual appropriations.
    They are not required to file 302(b) allocations. Bills first
    effective in fiscal year 2004 will be measured against the
    revised level for that year included in the fiscal year 2005
    budget resolution, and also the 5-year period of fiscal year
    2004 through 2008.

                                  Adjustments

        In addition to the adjustments made under the Congressional
    Budget Act, the budget resolution also provides the Chairman of
    the House Budget Committee with the authority to make certain
    adjustments in the aggregates and allocations, in certain
    circumstances. Several deficit-neutral adjustments are
    permitted for three reserve funds:

    - In section 301, adjustments in the allocations and aggregates
        may be made for legislation reported by any committee that
        provides health insurance for the uninsured. These
        adjustments may only be made by the Chairman of the Budget
        Committee to the extent that such legislation is deficit
        neutral in fiscal year 2005, and the period of fiscal years
        2005 through 2009.

    - In section 302, adjustments in the allocations and aggregates
        may be made for legislation is reported by Energy and
        Commerce Committee that provides Medicaid coverage for
        children with special needs (the Family Opportunity Act).
        These adjustments may only be made by the Chairman of the
        Budget Committee to the extent that such legislation is
        deficit neutral in fiscal year 2005, and the period of
        fiscal years 2005 through 2009.

    - In section 303, adjustments in the allocations and aggregates
        may be made for legislation reported by the House Armed
        Services Committee that provides widows benefits. These
        adjustments may only be made by the Chairman of the Budget
        Committee to the extent that such legislation is deficit
        neutral in fiscal year 2005, and the period of fiscal years
        2005 through 2009.

        Two other adjustments are permitted: For a certain
    legislation having already passed the House during the first
    session of the 108th Congress, and for a contingency procedure
    related to transportation spending.

    - In section 304 This section allows an adjustment to be made
        for any bill, including a bill that provides for the safe
        importation of FDA-approved prescription drugs or places
        limits on medical malpractice litigation, that has passed
        the House in the first session of the 108th Congress and is
        acted on by the Senate, enacted by the Congress, and
        presented to the President.

    - In section 311, the Chairman of the House Budget Committee is
        given the authority to make adjustments in the allocation
        of budget authority to the Committee on Transportation and
        Infrastructure for a measure increasing highway spending,
        but only if they are either offset by changes in law either
        in that measure, or in previously enacted legislation. The
        changes in law must dedicate the additional resources to
        the Highway Trust Fund. Under the terms of this reserve
        fund, the Chairman may also adjust the allocation of
        outlays to the Appropriations Committee in order to provide
        for the higher outlays flowing from the mandatory budget
        authority in the Transportation Committee's measure, and
        subject to the obligation limits included in the
        Transportation Appropriation measure. Most discretionary
        spending is implemented by appropriating budget authority,
        but in the Highway Category, budget authority is provided
        on the mandatory side. The outlays resulting therefrom are
        discretionary and may be restricted through the use of
        obligation limits included in appropriation acts. Again,
        these increased outlays must be offset by the changes in
        law included either in the Transportation's Committee's
        measure, or previously enacted legislation.

        The statutory authority for the Chairmen of the Budget
    Committees to make adjustments for emergencies and a variety of
    other purposes has expired. Before this authority expired,
    emergencies could be designated in legislation, and the
    Chairman of the Budget Committee adjust the reporting
    committee's allocation for that amount, so the additional
    spending could be considered without being subject to spending
    points of order. Because this authority is no longer in force,
    this budget resolution provides for a revised method of
    treating emergency spending. Under its terms, rather than
    adjusting the allocations and aggregates, spending provisions
    may be designated as emergencies in law pursuant to section 402
    of this resolution and are hence exempt from points of order
    under the Congressional Budget Act.

                                  Enforcement

        In order to enforce these allocations, Members may raise a
    point of order against spending legislation that exceeds a
    committee's allocation (see the section titled ``Enforcing the
    Budget Resolution'' in this report). The authorizing committees
    are given 5-year allocations, and hence the enforcement period
    for spending under section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget
    Act will be for the 5 years commencing from the year in which
    the committee's legislation is first effective.

                                 Reconciliation

        Section 310 of the Congressional Budget Act (2 U.S.C. 641)
    permits the budget resolution to provide for a reconciliation
    process. Under reconciliation, one or more committees are
    directed to make changes in the laws in their jurisdiction to
    achieve a specified increase or decrease in either budget
    authority or revenues. A reconciliation bill is protected in
    the Senate: It has an automatic time limit on debate and cannot
    be filibustered hence passage only requires 51 votes. A
    provision that doesn't increase or decrease spending (or
    revenue) is considered extraneous and hence violates the Byrd
    Rule, and may be removed from the bill, unless sixty Senators
    vote to waive the point of order. Reconciliation does not apply
    to discretionary spending, which is controlled by the
    Appropriations Committee. (For a full description of the
    reconciliation instructions included in the budget resolution,
    see the section titled ``Reconciliation'' included in this
    report.)

                        Enforcing the Budget Resolution

                                  ----------

        The budget resolution is more than a planning document. The
    allocations of spending authority and the aggregate levels of
    both spending authority and revenues are binding on the
    Congress when it considers subsequent spending and tax
    legislation. Legislation breaching the levels set forth in the
    budget resolution is subject to points of order on the House
    floor.
        Any Member of the House may raise a point of order against
    any tax or spending legislation that creates new entitlement
    authority during certain points in a calendar year, or breeches
    the allocations and aggregate spending levels established in
    the budget resolution. If the point of order is sustained, the
    House is precluded from further consideration of the measure.
        Though these points of order are important for budgetary
    discipline, in the House they may be waived by the resolution
    which structures rules for debate on legislation and
    appropriations measures that come before it for consideration.
    The House Budget Committee believes it is important to augment
    these congressional enforcement tools with statutory controls.
    Such controls were in place as part of the Budget Enforcement
    Act of 1997 [BEA], which expired at the end of 2002. The
    committee, at the same time it ordered this budget resolution
    reported, also considered and passed the ``Spending Control Act
    of 2004'' which re-establishes and revises the statutory
    controls over the budget from the BEA.
        The major Budget Act requirements are as follows:
    Section 302(f)
        Section 302 of the Congressional Budget Act prohibits the
    consideration of legislation that exceeds a committee's
    allocation of new budget authority. Section 302(f) applies to
    the budget year and the 5-year total for authorizing
    committees. For appropriations bills, however, it applies only
    to the budget year. The budget year is the first fiscal year to
    which a concurrent resolution on the budget applies. An
    exception is provided for legislation that is offset by tax
    increases above and beyond those required by the budget
    resolution.
    Section 303(a)
        This section prohibits the consideration of spending and
    tax legislation before the House has passed a budget
    resolution. Section 303(a) does not apply to budget authority
    and revenue provisions first effective in a year following the
    first fiscal year to which a budget resolution applies, or to
    appropriation bills after May 15.
    Sections 308(b)(2), 311(c) and 312
        Under sections 308(b)(2), 311(c) and 312 of the Budget Act,
    the Budget Committee advises the presiding officer on the
    application of points of order against specific legislation
    pending before the House. House Budget Committee rules also
    authorize the chairman to poll the committee on recommendations
    to the Rules Committee to enforce the Budget Act by not waiving
    points of order against specific legislation.
    Section 311(a)(1)
        Section 311(a)(1) prohibits the consideration of
    legislation that exceeds the ceiling on budget authority and
    outlays or reduces revenue below the revenue floor. Section
    311(a)(1) applies to the budget year and 10-year total for
    bills increasing revenue, but only to the budget year for
    appropriations bills. Section 311 does not apply to spending
    bills that do not breach a committee's 302(a) allocations.
    Section 401(a)
        This section of the Congressional Budget Act prohibits the
    consideration of legislation providing borrowing authority, new
    credit authority, or contract authority not subject to
    discretionary appropriations.
    Section 401(b)(1)
        This section prohibits the consideration of legislation
    creating new entitlement authority in the year preceding the
    budget year. It does not apply to trust funds primarily
    financed by earmarked taxes.
                             Votes of the Committee

                                  ----------

        Clause 3(b) of House Rule XIII requires each committee
    report to accompany any bill or resolution of a public
    character, ordered to include the total number of votes cast
    for and against on each roll call vote, on a motion to report
    and any amendments offered to the measure or matter, together
    with the names of those voting for and against. Listed below
    are the roll call votes taken in the House Budget Committee on
    the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2005.
        On March 11, 2004 the Committee met in open session, a
    quorum being present. After recessing subject to the call of
    the chair, the Committee reconvened on March 17, 2004.
        The committee adopted and ordered reported the Concurrent
    Resolution on the Budget for fiscal year 2005. The following
    votes were taken in Committee:
        Mr. Shays asked unanimous consent that the Chairman be
    authorized, consistent with clause 4 of House Rule XVI, to
    declare a recess at any time during the Committee meeting.
        There was no objection to the unanimous consent request.
        Chairman Nussle asked unanimous consent to dispense with
    the first reading of the budget aggregates, function levels,
    and other appropriate matter; that the aggregates, function
    totals, and other appropriate matter be open for amendment; and
    that amendments be considered as read.
        There was no objection to the unanimous consent requests.
        The following votes were taken by the committee:
        1. Ms. Brown-Waite offered an amendment to increase
    function 700 by the following amounts: For fiscal year 2004: $0
    in budget authority; and $0 in outlays; for fiscal year 2005:
    $200 million in budget authority; and $100 million in outlays;
    for fiscal year 2006: $201 million in budget authority; and
    $168 million in outlays; for fiscal year 2007: $202 million in
    budget authority; and $190 million in outlays; for fiscal year
    2008: $203 million in budget authority; and $198 million in
    outlays; for fiscal year 2009: $204 million in budget
    authority; and $201 million in outlays.
        The amendment also decreased funding in function 800 by the
    following amounts: For fiscal year 2004: $0 in budget
    authority; and $0 in outlays; for fiscal year 2005: $200
    million in budget authority; and $100 million in outlays; for
    fiscal year 2006: $201 million in budget authority; and $168
    million in outlays; for fiscal year 2007: $202 million in
    budget authority; and $190 million in outlays; for fiscal year
    2008: $203 million in budget authority; and $198 million in
    outlays; for fiscal year 2009: $204 million in budget
    authority; and $201 million in outlays.
        The amendment by Ms. Brown-Waite was agreed to by voice
    vote.
        2. Representatives Davis, Moran, Moore, Ford, Thompson,
    Baird, Majette, Cooper, and Kind offered an amendment to
    include a point of order against any bill that increased the
    on-budget deficit in any year. The point of order would require
    two-thirds of the House to vote to waive it.
        The amendment was not agreed to on a roll call vote of 17
    ayes and 23 noes.

    order against any measure containing new budget authority which
    reduces revenue and which first takes effect beyond the fifth
    fiscal year of the current budget resolution.

    2006, offset (over 5 years) by a 2-year reduction in the
    deductibility of SUVs purchased for business use.
        The other amendment included a Sense of the House that
    Congress should enact legislation establishing a trigger
    mechanism for the negotiation of prescription drug prices by

                              Land Grant Colleges

        During committee consideration of the budget resolution,
    Mr. Davis raised the issue of Land Grant Colleges. To be clear
    on this matter, the committee recognizes the outstanding
    achievements of 1890 Colleges of Agriculture. The committee
    understands that Section 7203 of the Farm Security and Rural
    Investment Act of 2002 recommended specific percentage levels
    of appropriated funds for the 1890 schools for Research Formula
    and Extension Formula grant programs. The committee recommends
    that the intent of Section 7203 be fully considered and that
    the 1890 Colleges be treated fairly during consideration of
    funding levels in the coming fiscal year.

                               Statute of Liberty

        The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 had a
    devastating effect on the travel and tourism industry. Many of
    our national treasures, including the White House and the U.S.
    Capitol Building, were closed to the public for many months.
    Security plans had to be devised and implemented, and the
    American people understood that safety had priority over access
    during that time.
        In the two and one-half years since the attacks, the U.S.
    Capitol has resumed tours, including the specialized tour of
    the Capitol Dome. The White House, which on its faces the
    gravest security threat, is once again available to tourists.
        Unfortunately, the Statue of Liberty has remained closed to
    the public since it was shut down indefinitely on September 11,
    2001. Currently, renovations are underway to upgrade safety and
    security measures. However, there is no scheduled date to
    reopen the Statue.
        This Committee encourages the National Park Service to
    continue to diligently work toward re-establishing the Statue
    of Liberty as a safe and secure site. We believe it would
    gratify all Americans if the Statue of Liberty could debut her
    renovations on July 4, 2004. No other day could be more
    appropriate for unveiling one of the most universal symbols of
    political freedom and democracy.

                           The Inland Waterway System

        It is the view of the Budget Committee that the inland
    waterway system is vital to the nation's economy, and that the
    nation must invest in navigation infrastructure so that
    agriculture and other industries can compete in the
    international marketplace.

                         National Animal Disease Center

        The Committee is concerned about the threat to food safety
    and the possibility of bio-terrorism in relation to the
    nation's food supply.
        The Department of Agriculture National Animal Disease
    Center plays a critical role in responding to, and addressing,
    numerous animal diseases such as Mad Cow disease. The
    importance of the Center has become more pronounced in the
    context of potential terrorist acts against food production
    assets, as well as random disease outbreaks. The Committee
    notes that the Administration budget request for fiscal year
    2005 includes the final funding amount necessary to finish the
    overall Animal Disease Center modernization project.
    Accordingly, the Committee believes that the request should be
    fully funded so that the modernization project can be finished
    in a timely manner.

                           Skilled Nursing Facilities

        It is the view of the Committee that any changes in
    Medicare reimbursements for skilled nursing facilities or in
    the Federal matching assistance provided to state Medicaid
    programs for nursing facility care be carefully considered and
    monitored to ensure that the financial stability of this vital
    health care sector and access to quality care is not
    jeopardized.

                                    SmartBUY

        In 2003, OMB estimated that enterprise software licensing,
    utilizing the purchasing power of the Federal Government though
    the Federal initiative known as the ``SmartBUY'' program, could
    save taxpayers more than $100 million dollars annually.
        The combination of $100 million in annual savings achieved
    through SmartBUY, while concurrently achieving billions of
    dollars of long-term savings derived through IT consolidation,
    deserves priority attention and an efficient process that takes
    advantage of savings opportunities. There appear to be even
    more immediate opportunities with enterprise licensing in the
    human resources and statistical data areas, where shorter-term
    tangible savings seem most achievable. These particular
    SmartBUY savings, combined with savings derived from the bulk
    purchase of computer security software and standard desktop
    utilities, would provide an excellent jump-start to reaching
    the $100 million annual savings goal.
        This Committee recommends a thorough examination of the
    advantages and obstacles to the implementation of SmartBUY in
    an effort to fight duplicative government procedures that lead
    to unnecessary spending and waste.

                          Coastal Erosion In Louisiana

        The committee is concerned about coastal erosion in areas
    such as Louisiana. Sensitive wetland habitats are disappearing
    at an alarming rate, and 90 percent of all coastal marsh loss
    in the 48 contiguous states occurs in Louisiana. In the 1900s,
    1.2 million acres vanished, and another 330,000 to 430,000
    acres will disappear by 2050 unless substantial action is
    taken. Loss of these wetlands further exposes productive
    domestic energy resources, critical transportation routes, low-
    lying areas, and many of the nation's busiest seaports to
    increased vulnerability to hurricanes, flooding, and erosion
    damage.
        The budget resolution can accommodate increased levels of
    Federal funding in cooperation with the state of Louisiana and
    local authorities to protect and restore Louisiana's coastal
    wetlands, often called ``America's Wetlands.''

                     Regulatory Review of Federal Agencies

        The Committee believes that Congress should establish a
    mechanism for reviewing Federal agencies and their regulations
    with the express purpose of making recommendations to Congress
    when agencies prove to be inefficient, duplicative, outdated,
    irrelevant, or fail to accomplish their intended purpose. It is
    an economic reality that unnecessary and ineffective
    regulations discourage investment and run counter to a holistic
    vision of growth. They increase prices for consumers and
    suppress job creation. Making agencies more accountable to
    Congress and the American people will lead to more efficient
    practices and less waste.

                      General Fund Diesel Fuel Excise Tax

        The unfair and discriminatory 4.3 cents per gallon general
    fund excise tax imposed on rail and inland waterway carriers
    should be repealed. This tax unfairly targets railroad and
    barges for discriminatory tax treatment and is inconsistent
    with sound transportation policy. The resolution also opposes
    the creation or diversion of revenue from the tax to new or
    existing Federal trust funds. The Committee on the Budget will
    work with the committees of jurisdiction on this matter as it
    proceeds through the legislative process.

                      Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit

        Renewable fuels reduce America's dependence on foreign oil.
    Existing ethanol tax incentives have successfully expanded the
    demand and use of renewable fuels. However, the replacement of
    the current excise tax exemption for gasoline/ethanol blends
    (gasohol) with a Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit [VEETC]
    will improve the Federal ethanol tax incentive by simplifying
    reporting requirements for taxpayers, reducing fuel fraud and
    accurately reflecting highway use of vehicles burning gasohol
    blends. The Committee on the Budget will work with the
    committees of jurisdiction on this matter as it proceeds
    through the legislative process.

                                   Telehealth

        Telehealth is a dynamic tool that is improving access to
    the health care services throughout the country. Advancement in
    telecommunications now allows patients and health care
    providers in medically underserved areas to access the
    resources available in a multitude of hospitals and academic
    institutions within their state and nationwide. Additionally,
    providing telehealth services to patients in their homes is an
    effective tool to manage chronic diseases and to strengthen
    communities and their economic base by keeping services local.
        It is the view of the Committee that telemedicine is vital
    to the practice of delivering efficient and effective health
    care services in areas that are underserved. Easy access, via
    telehealth, to healthcare services not normally available in
    underserved communities, can shorten the time to diagnosis and
    treatment, improving patient outcomes and reducing health care
    costs.
        Accordingly, the Committee supports proposals that would
    create regional telehealth resource centers which provide
    assistance with respect to technical, legal and regulatory
    service delivery or other related barriers to the deployment of
    telehealth technologies; that fund telehealth network grant
    programs that will provide necessary healthcare services to
    underserved areas; that provide grants to State professional
    licensing boards to carry out programs to reduce statutory and
    regulatory barriers to telemedicine; and that provide grants
    for mental health services provided via telehealth programs.
    Likewise, the committee recognizes the importance of studying
    rate and cost structure, diagnostic effectiveness and payment
    methodology as means to determining the effectiveness of
    telemedicine in rural areas.

                              School Lunch Program

        Studies show that children who have access to meals at
    school have a higher retention rate and are enabled to learn
    and to succeed in school. Unfortunately, reduced price meals
    are oftentimes unaffordable for many low-income, working
    parents; particularly at the end of the month.
        It is the view of the Committee that consideration be given
    to making modifications to the Richard B. Russell National
    School Lunch Act to raise the free income guideline threshold.
    This change will take an important step toward harmonizing the
    Federal guidelines for school meals with other Federal
    assistance programs. Furthermore, the Committee supports
    working toward proposals to eradicate hunger and malnourishment
    among children.

                                Nuclear Cleanup

        The Budget Committee believes consideration should be given
    to the President's $7.4 billion request for the Department of
    Energy's [DOE] Environmental Management Program for Fiscal Year
    2005. This funding level would continue the commitment to
    accelerating the completion of cleanup by decades and saving
    billions of dollars in spending.

                         Science Research and Education

        The budget resolution recognizes the importance of the
    research and education initiatives of the Department of
    Energy's Office of Science and the National Science Foundation
    to the nation's economic future and our position as the world's
    leader in technology innovation.
        Investment in the physical sciences, life sciences,
    engineering, mathematics and computing is critical to our
    national security, energy security, as well as development of
    the next generation of America's scientists and engineers.
        Just as Congress has recognized the importance of increased
    support and funding for health sciences research, it is
    important to invest in the basic science research conducted by
    the DOE Office of Science's national labs and the NSF.

                            Fitzsimons Army Hospital

        The Budget Committee recognizes the importance of new
    construction projects within the Department of Veterans Affairs
    and the benefits these projects can bring to the improved
    health care of our nation's veterans. The University of
    Colorado School of Medicine plans a major relocation of all its
    facilities to the site of the closed Fitzsimons Army Hospital.
    The Department of Veterans Affairs recently endorsed the
    concept of recommending replacement and co-location of the
    Denver VA Medical Center, a 50-year old structure, to the
    Fitzsimons site. This project should be given consideration
    within the context of either the Department of Veterans Affairs
    Medical Programs funding allocations for construction projects,
    or the Department of Defense budget.

                               Homeland Security

        The Committee is concerned about the growing number of
    local governments that have adopted policies restricting both
    the flow of information regarding persons in custody from local
    police departments to Federal Homeland Security authorities,
    and from Federal Homeland Security authorities to local police
    departments. Such policies violate Federal law (8 U.S.C.
    1373(a)), and undermine anti-terrorism efforts. The Committee
    believes that the Department of Justice should vigorously
    enforce the provisions of 8 U.S.C. 1373(a), and that Congress
    should consider sanctioning those local governments who refuse
    to comply.

                          Formerly Used Defense Sites

        The Committee recognizes the continuing challenges
    presented to state and local governments by the finding of
    unexploded and hazardous munitions on sites previously used for
    training by the Department of Defense. The U.S. Army Corps of
    Engineers is conducting reclamation and mitigation activities
    at the former Lowry Bombing and Gunnery Range in Arapahoe
    County, Colorado. The site has been identified as the third
    ranking priority for cleanup nationally, and the top priority
    in the State of Colorado. Given the proximity of the site to
    Cherry Creek High School, Aurora Reservoir, and encroaching
    suburbs, the Committee believes that cleanup efforts can be
    accelerated.

                               Joint Task Force 6

        The Committee is pleased with the work of Joint Task Force
    6 in combating narco-trafficking and drug smuggling. In recent
    years, both these activities and the cartels that carry them
    out have expanded their operations to include, or become
    intertwined with criminal syndicates engaged in human-
    trafficking. The Committee believes that as Joint Task Force 6
    is reorganized and integrated into the Joint Interagency Task
    Force at NORTHCOM, its mission should be expanded to combat
    human-trafficking, and that adequate funding should be provided
    within the context of the Department of Homeland Security,
    Department of Defense, and Department of Justice budgets to
    carry out such efforts.

                           Artificial Neural Networks

        The Committee is aware of research into Artificial Neural
    Networks [ANN] which are capable of recognizing complex
    patterns in data and information. The Committee believes such
    networks are excellent tools for clinical decision making in
    prostate cancer, testicular cancer, cardiovascular problems,
    and other medical situations. Research to date has been
    encouraging, but expansion of the research efforts to include a
    more diverse population base would aid the ANN in determining
    optimal treatment. Therefore, the Committee asks that the ANN
    receive full consideration in the funding of cooperative
    studies research and medical research under the Department of
    Veterans Affairs Medical and Prosthetic Research budget in
    order to continue research in the diagnosis and prognosis of
    prostate cancer.

                           Postal Reform Legislation

        The Budget Committee supports enactment of postal reform
    legislation in the 108th Congress, accommodated within the
    budget process. The Committee recognizes that successful postal
    reform will not be possible without abolishing the escrow
    provision of the Postal Service Civil Service Retirement System
    Funding Reform Act of 2003. The Committee expresses concern
    that without reform the United States Postal Service [USPS]
    faces severe financial straits, although short-term financial
    prospects may have improved because retirement obligations are
    less burdensome than presumed. With unfunded retiree health
    benefits and an outdated business model, the USPS would be
    bankrupt but not for the fact that it is a government entity,
    with Treasury borrowing rights. This outdated business model
    needs to be reformed.
        The Postal Service has stated that failure by Congress to
    remove the CSRS escrow account would cause an additional 5.4
    percent rate increase in 2006 and even larger increases in
    later years. The Committee supports the efforts to limit the
    need to increase postal rates but remains concerned about the
    budgetary impact of the escrow. The Committee fully understands
    that the failure of Congress to allow for consideration of
    postal reform legislation that includes the removal of the CSRS
    escrow account would directly impact the Postal Service's
    revenue and rate planning and will trigger a postal rate
    increase for all users in 2006, over and on top of any rate
    increases needed to fund postal operations. The Committee
    supports the efforts of the Committee on Government Reform to
    improve the financial transparency of the Postal Service as an
    essential component of comprehensive postal reform legislation.
        The Committee will continue to work with the Government
    Reform Committee to accommodate reasonable postal reform
    legislation within the budget process.

                            Payment in Lieu of Taxes

        The Committee is encouraged by the gradual reduction in
    Federal land acquisition appropriations over the last few
    years, but further reductions should be made. The Federal
    Government already holds title to large amounts of Federal
    land, and continues to acquire more despite the well documented
    fact that Federal land management agencies are unable to
    adequately manage even the lands that they currently
    administer.

        Health Plan and Employer Reimbursement Under Medicare and ERISA

        Public and private health plans and employers pay the
    medical expenses of insured individuals when they are injured
    by a third party, but in these circumstances public and private
    health plans and employers are allowed under Federal law to be
    repaid if the individual later recovers damages from the third
    party causing the injury. The right of recovery is an important
    means to restore Federal revenue, to contain private health
    plan and employer costs and to reduce health care premiums for
    individuals. The Committee understands the recovery rights of
    Federal health programs (Medicare, FEHPB and M+C) and private
    health plans have been eroded by recent court decisions. The
    result is higher Federal and private health plan costs. Last
    year, Congress acted to shore up the Medicare program's
    recovery right. The Committee encourages the committees of
    jurisdiction to adopt legislation that will strengthen the
    right of recovery for Federal programs and private health plans
    and employers.

     Returning Stability to Payments under Medicare Physician Fee Schedule

        (a) FINDINGS--The Committee finds that:
        (1) The fees Medicare pays physicians and other health
    professionals were reduced by 5.4 percent across-the-board in
    2002;
        (2) action by Congress in early 2003 narrowly averted a 4.4
    percent across-the-board reduction in such fees that year;
        (3) in the fall of 2003, Congressional action was once
    again needed to prevent an across-the-board reduction of 4.5
    percent in such fees for 2004, as well as an anticipated
    further reduction in 2005;
        (4) there are major flaws in the formula Medicare uses to
    reimburse physicians which result in steep cuts that adversely
    impact Medicare beneficiaries' access to care; and,
        (5) CMS should consider using its authority to exclude
    Medicare-covered drugs and biologics from the physician formula
    and accurately reflect in the formula the direct and indirect
    cost of increases due to coverage decisions, administrative
    actions, and rules and regulations.
        (b) SENSE OF THE COMMITTEE--It is the sense of the
    Committee that, while recent actions by Congress have helped
    address the immediate reductions in reimbursement, further
    action by Congress will be needed to put in place a new formula
    or mechanism for updating Medicare physician fees in 2006 and
    thereafter, in order to ensure:
        (1) the long-term stability of the Medicare payment system
    for physicians and other health care professionals, such that
    payment rates keep pace with practice cost increases; and
        (2) future access to physicians' services for Medicare
    beneficiaries.

         Committee on the Budget Oversight Findings and recommendations

        Clause 3(c)(1) of Rule XIII requires each committee report
    to contain oversight findings and recommendations pursuant to
    clause 2(b)(1) of rule X. The Budget Committee has no findings
    to report at the present time.

       New Budget Authority, Entitlement Authority, and Tax Expenditures

        Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of
    Representatives provides that Committee reports shall contain
    the statement required by Section 308(a)(1) of the
    Congressional Budget Act of 1974. This report does not contain
    such a statement because as a concurrent resolution setting
    forth a blueprint for the Congressional budget, the budget
    resolution does not provide new budget authority or new
    entitlement authority or change revenues.

                    General Performance Goals and Objectives

        Clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII requires each committee report
    to contain a statement of general performance goals and
    objectives, including outcome-related goals and objectives, for
    which the measure authorizes funding. The Budget Committee has
    no such goals and objectives to report at this time.

                           Views of Committee Members

        Clause 2(l) of rule XI requires each committee to afford a
    2-day opportunity for members of the committee to file
    additional, minority, or dissenting views and to include the
    views in its report. The following views were submitted:

                          TITLE V--SENSE OF THE HOUSE

    SEC. 501. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON SPENDING ACCOUNTABILITY.

      It is the sense of the House that--
              (1) authorizing committees should actively engage in
            oversight utilizing--
                      (A) the plans and goals submitted by
                    executive agencies pursuant to the Government
                    Performance and Results Act of 1993; and
                      (B) the performance evaluations submitted by
                    such agencies (that are based upon the Program
                    Assessment Rating Tool which is designed to
                    improve agency performance);
            in order to enact legislation to eliminate waste,
            fraud, and abuse to ensure the efficient use of
            taxpayer dollars;
              (2) all Federal programs should be periodically
            reauthorized and funding for unauthorized programs
            should be level-funded in fiscal year 2005 unless there
            is a compelling justification;
              (3) committees should submit written justifications
            for earmarks and should consider not funding those most
            egregiously inconsistent with national policy;
              (4) the fiscal year 2005 budget resolution should be
            vigorously enforced and legislation should be enacted
            establishing statutory limits on appropriations and a
            PAY-AS-YOU-GO rule for new and expanded entitlement
            programs; and
              (5) Congress should make every effort to offset
            nonwar-related supplemental appropriations.

    SEC. 502. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON ENTITLEMENT REFORM.

      (a) Findings.--The House finds that welfare was successfully
    reformed through the application of work requirements,
    education and training opportunity, and time limits on
    eligibility.
      (b) Sense of the House.--It is the sense of the House that
    authorizing committees should--
              (1) systematically review all means-tested
            entitlement programs and track beneficiary
            participation across programs and time;
              (2) enact legislation to develop common eligibility
            requirements for means-tested entitlement programs;
              (3) enact legislation to accurately rename means-
            tested entitlement programs;
              (4) enact legislation to coordinate program benefits
            in order to limit to a reasonable period of time the
            Government dependency of means-tested entitlement
            program participants;
              (5) evaluate the costs of, and justifications for,
            nonmeans-tested, nonretirement-related entitlement
            programs; and
              (6) identify and utilize resources that have
            conducted cost-benefit analyses of participants in
            multiple means- and nonmeans-tested entitlement
            programs to understand their cumulative costs and
            collective benefits.
