                    (A) Assumptions.--In the House of 
                Representatives, for purposes of titles III and 
                IV of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 
                U.S.C. 631 et seq. and 651 et seq.), the 
                Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the 
                House of Representatives shall use the baseline 
                underlying the Congressional Budget Office's 
                March 2015 update to the Budget and Economic 
                Outlook: 2015 to 2025 (January 2015) when 
                making estimates of any bill or joint 
                resolution, or any amendment thereto, amendment 
                between the Houses in relation thereto, or 
                conference report thereon. If adjustments to 
                the baseline are made subsequent to the 
                adoption of this concurrent resolution, then 
                such Chairman shall determine whether to use 
                any of these adjustments when making such 
                estimates.
                    (B) Intent.--The authority set forth in 
                subparagraph (A) should only be exercised if 
                the estimates used to determine the compliance 
                of such measures with the budgetary 
                requirements included in this concurrent 
                resolution are inaccurate because adjustments 
                made to the baseline are inconsistent with the 
                assumptions underlying the budgetary levels set 
                forth in this concurrent resolution. Such 
                inaccurate adjustments made after the adoption 
                of this concurrent resolution may include 
                selected adjustments for rulemaking, judicial 
                actions, adjudication, and interpretative rules 
                that have major budgetary effects and are 
                inconsistent with the assumptions underlying 
                the budgetary levels set forth in this 
                concurrent resolution.
                    (C) Congressional budget office 
                estimates.--Upon the request of the Chairman of 
                the Committee on the Budget of the House of 
                Representatives, the Congressional Budget 
                Office shall prepare for any measure an 
                estimate based on the baseline determination 
                made by such Chairman pursuant to subparagraph 
                (A).
            (2) Repeal of the president's health care law 
        through reconciliation.--In the House of 
        Representatives, in preparing their submissions under 
        subsection (a) to the Committee on the Budget of the 
        House of Representatives, the committees named in 
        subsection (a) shall--
                    (A) note the policies discussed in title VI 
                that repeal the Affordable Care Act and the 
                health care related provisions of the Health 
                Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010; 
                and
                    (B) determine the most effective methods by 
                which the health care laws referred to in 
                subparagraph (A) shall be repealed in their 
                entirety.
            (3) Revision of budgetary levels.--
                    (A) In general.--Upon the submission of a 
                reconciliation recommendation to the House of 
                Representatives or the Committee on the Budget 
                of the House of Representatives or the 
                submission of a conference report to the House 
                of Representatives pursuant to this section, in 
                which a committee is deemed to have complied 
                with its directive by virtue of section 310(c) 
                of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 
                U.S.C. 641(c)), the Chairman of the Committee 
                on the Budget of the House of Representatives 
                may file with the House of Representatives 
                appropriately revised allocations, aggregates, 
                and functional levels.
                    (B) Revision.--Allocations and aggregates 
                revised pursuant to this paragraph shall be 
                considered to be allocations and aggregates 
                established by this concurrent resolution on 
                the budget pursuant to section 301 of the 
                Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 
                632).

measure) over the period of fiscal years 2016 through 2025.

 TITLE V--ESTIMATES OF DIRECT SPENDING IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

SEC. 5001. DIRECT SPENDING.

    (a) Means-Tested Direct Spending.--
            (1) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds 
        the following:
                    (A) For means-tested direct spending, the 
                average rate of growth in the total level of 
                outlays during the 10-year period preceding 
                fiscal year 2016 is 6.8 percent.
                    (B) For means-tested direct spending, the 
                estimated average rate of growth in the total 
                level of outlays during the 10-year period 
                beginning with fiscal year 2016 is 4.6 percent 
                under current law.
            (2) Proposed reforms.--The following reforms are 
        proposed under this concurrent resolution by the House 
        of Representatives for means-tested direct spending:
                    (A) In 1996, a Republican Congress and a 
                Democratic President reformed welfare by 
                limiting the duration of benefits, giving 
                States more control over the program, and 
                helping recipients find work. In the 5 years 
                following passage, child-poverty rates fell, 
                welfare caseloads fell, and workers' wages 
                increased. This budget assumes the enactment of 
                proposals to reduce poverty and increase 
                opportunity and upward mobility for struggling 
                Americans on the road to personal and financial 
                independence. Based on the successful welfare 
                reforms of the 1990s, these proposals would 
                improve work requirements and provide flexible 
                funding for States to help those most in need 
                find gainful employment, escape poverty, and 
                move up the economic ladder.
                    (B) For Medicaid, this budget is predicated 
                on a framework proposed by the chairmen of the 
                committees of jurisdiction of the House of 
                Representatives and the Senate, to modernize 
                and improve the program while increasing State 
                flexibility and protecting the most vulnerable 
                populations. This budget also assumes the 
                repeal of the Medicaid expansions in the 
                President's health care law.
    (b) Nonmeans-Tested Direct Spending.--
            (1) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds 
        the following:
                    (A) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, 
                the average rate of growth in the total level 
                of outlays during the 10-year period preceding 
                fiscal year 2016 is 5.4 percent.
                    (B) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, 
                the estimated average rate of growth in the 
                total level of outlays during the 10-year 
                period beginning with fiscal year 2016 is 5.5 
                percent under current law.
            (2) Medicare reforms.--For Medicare, this budget 
        advances policies to put seniors, not the Federal 
        Government, in control of their health care decisions. 
        Putting seniors in charge of how their health care 
        dollars are spent will encourage providers to compete 
        against each other on price and quality. Improvements 
        to Medicare are necessary to extend the life of the 
        Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund and protect the 
        program for future generations.

                      TITLE VI--POLICY STATEMENTS

              Subtitle A--Policy Statements in Both Houses

SEC. 6101. POLICY STATEMENT ON BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT.

    It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that 
Congress should pass, and send to the States for their 
approval, a joint resolution amending the Constitution of the 
United States to require an annual balanced Federal budget.

SEC. 6102. POLICY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY.

    It is the policy of this concurrent resolution that the 
President and Congress should work together on a bipartisan 
basis to preserve Social Security for current and future 
generations. To achieve that goal--
            (1) Congress should enact legislation to prevent 
        the near-term insolvency of the Disability Insurance 
        program, improve the administration and coordination of 
        benefits, and increase employment opportunities for 
        disabled workers; and
            (2) the President should submit legislation to 
        Congress addressing the long-term insolvency of both 
        the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program and the 
        Disability Insurance program, and such legislation 
        should achieve a sustainable annual cash-flow balance 
        between taxes and benefits over the foreseeable future, 
        rather than temporarily increasing and then depleting 
        the balance of Government securities held by each 
        program's trust fund.

      Subtitle B--Policy Statement in the House of Representatives

SEC. 6201. POLICY STATEMENT ON BUDGET PROCESS AND BASELINE REFORM.

    (a) Findings.--
            (1) In 1974, after more than 50 years of executive 
        dominance over fiscal policy, Congress acted to 
        reassert its ``power of the purse'', and passed the 
        Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act.
            (2) The measure explicitly sought to establish 
        congressional control over the budget process, to 
        provide for annual congressional determination of the 
        appropriate level of taxes and spending, to set 
        important national budget priorities, and to find ways 
        in which Members of Congress could have access to the 
        most accurate, objective, and highest quality 
        information to assist them in discharging their duties.
            (3) Far from achieving its intended purpose, 
        however, the process has instituted a bias toward 
        higher spending and larger government. The behemoth of 
        the Federal Government has largely been financed 
        through either borrowing or taking ever greater amounts 
        of the national income through high taxation.
            (4) The process does not treat programs and 
        policies consistently and shows a bias toward higher 
        spending and higher taxes.
            (5) It assumes extension of spending programs (of 
        more than $50 million per year) scheduled to expire.
            (6) Yet it does not assume the extension of tax 
        policies in the same way. consequently, extending 
        existing tax policies that may be scheduled to expire 
        is characterized as a new tax reduction, requiring 
        offsets to ``pay for'' merely keeping tax policy the 
        same even though estimating conventions would not 
        require similar treatment of spending programs.
            (7) The original goals set for the congressional 
        process are admirable in their intent, but because the 
        essential mechanisms of the process have remained the 
        same, and ``reforms'' enacted over the past 40 years 
        have largely taken the form of layering greater levels 
        of legal complexity without reforming or reassessing 
        the very fundamental nature of the process.
    (b) Policy Statement.--It is the policy of this concurrent 
resolution on the budget that as the primary branch of 
Government, Congress must:
            (1) Restructure the fundamental procedures of 
        budget decision making.
            (2) Reassert Congress's ``power of the purse'', and 
        reinforce the balance of powers between Congress and 
        the President, as the 1974 Act intended.
            (3) Create greater incentives for lawmakers to do 
        budgeting as intended by the Congressional Budget Act 
        of 1974, especially adopting a budget resolution every 
        year.
            (4) Encourage more effective control over spending, 
        especially currently uncontrolled direct spending.
            (5) Consider innovative fiscal tools such as: zero 
        based budgeting, which would require a department or 
        agency to justify its budget as if it were a new 
        expenditure; and direct spending caps to enhance 
        oversight of automatic pilot spending that increases 
        each year without congressional approval.
            (6) Promote efficient and timely budget actions, so 
        that lawmakers complete their budget actions by the 
        time the new fiscal year begins.
            (7) Provide access to the best analysis of economic 
        conditions available and increase awareness of how 
        fiscal policy directly impacts overall economic growth 
        and job creation.
            (8) Remove layers of complexity that have 
        complicated the procedures designed in 1974, and made 
        budgeting more arcane and opaque.
            (9) Remove existing biases that favor higher 
        spending.
            (10) Include procedures by which current tax laws 
        may be extended and treated on a basis that is not 
        different from the extension of entitlement programs.
    (c) Budget Process Reform.--Comprehensive budget process 
reform should also remove the bias in the baseline against the 
extension of current tax laws in the following ways:
            (1) Permanent extension of tax laws should not be 
        used as a means to increase taxes on other taxpayers.
            (2) For those expiring tax provisions that are 
        proposed to be permanently extended, Congress should 
        use a more realistic baseline that does not require 
        them to be offset.
            (3) Tax-reform legislation should not include tax 
        increases just to offset the extension of current tax 
        laws.
    (d) Legislation.--The Committee on the Budget of the House 
of Representatives intends to draft legislation during the 
114th Congress that will rewrite the Congressional Budget and 
Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to fulfill the goals of making 
the congressional budget process more effective in ensuring 
taxpayers' dollars are spent wisely and efficiently.

SEC. 6202. POLICY STATEMENT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOB CREATION.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) Although the United States economy technically 
        emerged from recession more than 5 years ago, the 
        subsequent recovery has felt more like a malaise than a 
        rebound. Real gross domestic product GDP growth over 
        the past 5 years has averaged slightly more than 2 
        percent, well below the 3.2 percent historical trend 
        rate of growth in the United States. Although the 
        economy has shown some welcome signs of improvement of 
        late, the Nation remains in the midst of the weakest 
        economic recovery of the modern era.
            (2) Looking ahead, CBO expects the economy to grow 
        by an average of just 2.3 percent over the next 10 
        years. That level of economic growth is simply 
        unacceptable and insufficient to expand opportunities 
        and the incomes of millions of middle-income Americans.
            (3) Sluggish economic growth has also contributed 
        to the country's fiscal woes. Subpar growth means that 
        revenue levels are lower than they would otherwise be 
        while government spending (e.g. welfare and income-
        support programs) is higher. Clearly, there is a dire 
        need for policies that will spark higher rates of 
        economic growth and greater, higher-quality job 
        opportunities.
            (4) Although job gains have been trending up of 
        late, other aspects of the labor market remain weak. 
        The labor force participation rate, for instance, is 
        hovering just under 63 percent, close to the lowest 
        level since 1978. Long-term unemployment also remains a 
        problem. Of the roughly 8.7 million people who are 
        currently unemployed, 2.7 million (more than 30 
        percent) have been unemployed for more than 6 months. 
        Long-term unemployment erodes an individual's job 
        skills and detaches them from job opportunities. It 
        also undermines the long-term productive capacity of 
        the economy.
            (5) Perhaps most important, wage gains and income 
        growth have been subpar for middle-class Americans. 
        Average hourly earnings of private-sector workers have 
        increased by just 1.6 percent over the past year. Prior 
        to the recession, average hourly earnings were tracking 
        close to 4 percent. Likewise, average income levels 
        have remained flat in recent years. Real median 
        household income is just under $52,000, one of the 
        lowest levels since 1995.
            (6) The unsustainable fiscal trajectory has cast a 
        shadow on the country's economic outlook. investors and 
        businesses make decisions on a forward-looking basis. 
        they know that today's large debt levels are simply 
        tomorrow's tax hikes, interest rate increases, or 
        inflation and they act accordingly. This debt overhang, 
        and the uncertainty it generates, can weigh on growth, 
        investment, and job creation.
            (7) Nearly all economists, including those at the 
        CBO, conclude that reducing budget deficits (thereby 
        bending the curve on debt levels is a net positive for 
        economic growth over time. The logic is that deficit 
        reduction creates long-term economic benefits because 
        it increases the pool of national savings and boosts 
        investment, thereby raising economic growth and job 
        creation.
            (8) CBO analyzed the House Republican fiscal year 
        2016 budget resolution and found it would increase real 
        output per capita (a proxy for a country's standard of 
        living) by about $1,000 in 2025 and roughly $5,000 by 
        2040 relative to the baseline path. That means more 
        income and greater prosperity for all Americans.
            (9) In contrast, if the Government remains on the 
        current fiscal path, future generations will face ever-
        higher debt service costs, a decline in national 
        savings, and a ``crowding out'' of private investment. 
        This dynamic will eventually lead to a decline in 
        economic output and a diminution in our country's 
        standard of living.
            (10) The key economic challenge is determining how 
        to expand the economic pie, not how best to divide up 
        and re-distribute a shrinking pie.
            (11) A stronger economy is vital to lowering 
        deficit levels and eventually balancing the budget. 
        According to CBO, if annual real GDP growth is just 0.1 
        percentage point higher over the budget window, 
        deficits would be reduced by $326 billion.
            (12) This budget resolution therefore embraces pro-
        growth policies, such as fundamental tax reform, that 
        will help foster a stronger economy, greater 
        opportunities and more job creation.
    (b) Policy on Economic Growth and Job Creation.--In the 
House of Representatives, it is the policy of this concurrent 
resolution to promote faster economic growth and job creation. 
By putting the budget on a sustainable path, this concurrent 
resolution ends the debt-fueled uncertainty holding back job 
creators. Reforms to the tax code will put American businesses 
and workers in a better position to compete and thrive in the 
21st century global economy. This concurrent resolution targets 
the regulatory red tape and cronyism that stack the deck in 
favor of special interests. All of the reforms in this 
concurrent resolution serve as means to the larger end of 
helping the economy grow and expanding opportunity for all 
Americans.

SEC. 6203. POLICY STATEMENT ON TAX REFORM.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) A world-class tax system should be simple, 
        fair, and promote (rather than impede) economic growth. 
        The United States tax code fails on all three counts: 
        It is notoriously complex, patently unfair, and highly 
        inefficient. The tax code's complexity distorts 
        decisions to work, save, and invest, which leads to 
        slower economic growth, lower wages, and less job 
        creation.
            (2) Over the past decade alone, there have been 
        4,107 changes to the tax code, more than one per day. 
        Many of the major changes over the years have involved 
        carving out special preferences, exclusions, or 
        deductions for various activities or groups. These 
        loopholes add up to more than $1 trillion per year and 
        make the code unfair, inefficient, and highly complex.
            (3) In addition, these tax preferences are 
        disproportionately used by upper-income individuals.
            (4) The large amount of tax preferences that 
        pervade the code end up narrowing the tax base. A 
        narrow tax base, in turn, requires much higher tax 
        rates to raise a given amount of revenue.
            (5) It is estimated that American taxpayers end up 
        spending $160 billion and roughly 6 billion hours a 
        year complying with the tax code waste of time and 
        resources that could be used in more productive 
        activities.
            (6) Standard economic theory shows that high 
        marginal tax rates dampen the incentives to work, save, 
        and invest, which reduces economic output and job 
        creation. Lower economic output, in turn, mutes the 
        intended revenue gain from higher marginal tax rates.
            (7) Roughly half of United States active business 
        income and half of private sector employment are 
        derived from business entities (such as partnerships, S 
        corporations, and sole proprietorships) that are taxed 
        on a ``pass-through'' basis, meaning the income flows 
        through to the tax returns of the individual owners and 
        is taxed at the individual rate structure rather than 
        at the corporate rate. Small businesses, in particular, 
        tend to choose this form for Federal tax purposes, and 
        the top Federal rate on such small business income can 
        reach nearly 45 percent. For these reasons, sound 
        economic policy requires lowering marginal rates on 
        these pass-through entities.
            (8) The United States corporate income tax rate 
        (including Federal, State, and local taxes) sums to 
        slightly more than 39 percent, the highest rate in the 
        industrialized world. Tax rates this high suppress 
        wages and discourage investment and job creation, 
        distort business activity, and put American businesses 
        at a competitive disadvantage with foreign competitors.
            (9) By deterring potential investment, the United 
        States corporate tax restrains economic growth and job 
        creation. The United States tax rate differential with 
        other countries also fosters a variety of complicated 
        multinational corporate behaviors intended to avoid the 
        tax, which have the effect of moving the tax base 
        offshore, destroying American jobs, and decreasing 
        corporate revenue.
            (10) The ``worldwide'' structure of United States 
        international taxation essentially taxes earnings of 
        United States firms twice, putting them at a 
        significant competitive disadvantage with competitors 
        with more competitive international tax systems.
            (11) Reforming the United States tax code to a more 
        competitive international system would boost the 
        competitiveness of United States companies operating 
        abroad and it would also greatly reduce tax avoidance.
            (12) The tax code imposes costs on American workers 
        through lower wages, on consumers in higher prices, and 
        on investors in diminished returns.
            (13) Revenues have averaged about 17.4 percent of 
        the economy throughout modern American history. 
        Revenues rise above this level under current law to 
        18.3 percent of the economy by the end of the 10-year 
        budget window.
            (14) Attempting to raise revenue through new tax 
        increases to meet out-of-control spending would sink 
        the economy and Americans' ability to save for their 
        retirement and their children's education.
            (15) This concurrent resolution also rejects the 
        idea of instituting a carbon tax in the United States, 
        which some have offered as a new source of revenue. 
        Such a plan would damage the economy, cost jobs, and 
        raise prices on American consumers.
            (16) Closing tax loopholes to fund spending does 
        not constitute fundamental tax reform.
            (17) The goal of tax reform should be to curb or 
        eliminate loopholes and use those savings to lower tax 
        rates across the board not to fund more wasteful 
        Government spending. Washington has a spending problem, 
        not a revenue problem.
            (18) Many economists believe that fundamental tax 
        reform (i.e. a broader tax base and lower tax rates) 
        would lead to greater labor supply and increased 
        investment, which, over time, would have a positive 
        impact on total national output.
            (19) Heretofore, the congressional scorekeepers the 
        Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint 
        Committee on Taxation (JCT).
            (20) Static scoring implicitly assumes that the 
        size of the economy (and therefore key economic 
        variables such as labor supply and investment) remains 
        fixed throughout the considered budget horizon. This is 
        an abstraction from reality.
            (21) A new House of Representatives rule was 
        adopted at the beginning of the 114th Congress to help 
        correct this problem. This rule requires CBO and JCT to 
        incorporate the macroeconomic effects of major 
        legislation into their official cost estimates.
            (22) This rule seeks to bridge the divide between 
        static estimates and scoring that incorporates economic 
        feedback effects by providing policymakers with a 
        greater amount of information about the likely economic 
        impact of policies under their consideration while at 
        the same time preserving traditional scoring methods 
        and reporting conventions.
    (b) Policy on Tax Reform.--In the House of Representatives, 
it is the policy of this concurrent resolution that Congress 
should enact legislation that provides for a comprehensive 
reform of the United States tax code to promote economic 
growth, create American jobs, increase wages, and benefit 
American consumers, investors, and workers through fundamental 
tax reform that--
            (1) simplifies the tax code to make it fairer to 
        American families and businesses and reduces the amount 
        of time and resources necessary to comply with tax 
        laws;
            (2) substantially lowers tax rates for individuals 
        and consolidates the current seven individual income 
        tax brackets into fewer brackets;
            (3) repeals the Alternative Minimum Tax;
            (4) reduces the corporate tax rate; and
            (5) transitions the tax code to a more competitive 
        system of international taxation.

SEC. 6204. POLICY STATEMENT ON TRADE.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) Opening foreign markets to American exports is 
        vital to the United States economy and beneficial to 
        American workers and consumers. The Commerce Department 
        estimates that every $1 billion of United States 
        exports supports more than 5,000 jobs here at home.
            (2) The United States can increase economic 
        opportunities for American workers and businesses 
        through the expansion of trade, adherence to trade 
        agreement rules by the United States and its trading 
        partners, and the elimination of foreign trade barriers 
        to United States goods and services.
            (3) Trade Promotion Authority is a bipartisan and 
        bicameral effort to strengthen the role of Congress in 
        setting negotiating objectives for trade agreements, to 
        improve consultation with Congress by the 
        Administration, and to provide a clear framework for 
        congressional consideration and implementation of trade 
        agreements.
            (4) Global trade and commerce is not a zero-sum 
        game. The idea that global expansion tends to ``hollow 
        out'' United States operations is incorrect. Foreign-
        affiliate activity tends to complement, not substitute 
        for, key parent activities in the United States such as 
        employment, worker compensation, and capital 
        investment. When United States headquartered 
        multinationals invest and expand operations abroad it 
        often leads to more jobs and economic growth at home.
            (5) Trade agreements have saved the average 
        American family of four more than $10,000 per year, as 
        a result of lower duties. Trade agreements also lower 
        the cost of manufacturing inputs by removing duties.
            (6) American businesses and workers have shown 
        that, on a level playing field, they can excel and 
        surpass the international competition.
            (7) When negotiating trade agreements, United 
        States laws on Intellectual Property (IP) protection 
        should be used as a benchmark for establishing global 
        IP frameworks. Strong IP protections have contributed 
        significantly to the United States status as a world 
        leader in innovation across sectors, including in the 
        development of life-saving biologic medicines. The data 
        protections afforded to biologics in United States law, 
        including 12 years of data protection, allow continued 
        development of pioneering medicines to benefit patients 
        both in the United States and abroad. To maintain the 
        cycle of innovation and achieve truly 21st century 
        trade agreements, it is vital that our negotiators 
        insist on the highest standards for IP protections.
            (8) The status quo of the current tax code also 
        undermines the competitiveness of United States 
        businesses and costs the United States economy 
        investment and jobs.
            (9) The United States currently has an antiquated 
        system of international taxation whereby United States 
        multinationals operating abroad pay both the foreign-
        country tax and United States corporate taxes. They are 
        essentially taxed twice. This puts them at an obvious 
        competitive disadvantage. A modern and competitive 
        international tax system would facilitate global 
        commerce for United States multinational companies and 
        would encourage foreign business investment and job 
        creation in the United States.
            (10) The ability to defer United States taxes on 
        their foreign operations, which some erroneously refer 
        to as a ``tax loophole,'' cushions this disadvantage to 
        a certain extent. Eliminating or restricting this 
        provision (and others like it) would harm United States 
        competitiveness.
            (11) This budget resolution advocates fundamental 
        tax reform that would lower the United States corporate 
        rate, now the highest in the industrialized world, and 
        switch to a more competitive system of international 
        taxation. This would make the United States a much more 
        attractive place to invest and station business 
        activity and would chip away at the incentives for 
        United States companies to keep their profits overseas 
        (because the United States corporate rate is so high).
    (b) Policy on Trade.--In the House of Representatives, it 
is the policy of this concurrent resolution to pursue 
international trade, global commerce, and a modern and 
competitive United States international tax system to promote 
job creation in the United States. The United States should 
continue to seek increased economic opportunities for American 
workers and businesses through the expansion of trade 
opportunities, adherence to trade agreements and rules by the 
United States and its trading partners, and the elimination of 
foreign trade barriers to United States goods and services by 
opening new markets and by enforcing United States rights. To 
that end, Congress should pass Trade Promotion Authority to 
strengthen the role of Congress in setting negotiating 
objectives for trade agreements, to improve consultation with 
Congress by the Administration, and to provide a clear 
framework for congressional consideration and implementation of 
trade agreements.

SEC. 6205. POLICY STATEMENT ON REPEALING THE PRESIDENT'S HEALTH CARE 
                    LAW AND PROMOTING REAL HEALTH CARE REFORM.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) The President's health care law put 
        Washington's priorities first, and not patients'. The 
        Affordable Care Act (ACA) has failed to reduce health 
        care premiums as promised; instead, the law mandated 
        benefits and coverage levels, denying patients the 
        opportunity to choose the type of coverage that best 
        suits their health needs and driving up health coverage 
        costs. A typical family's health care premiums were 
        supposed to decline by $2,500 a year; instead, 
        according to the 2014 Employer Health Benefits Survey, 
        health care premiums have increased by 7 percent for 
        individuals and families since 2012.
            (2) The President pledged, ``If you like your 
        health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.'' 
        Instead, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office 
        now estimates 9 million Americans with employment-based 
        health coverage will lose those plans due to the 
        President's health care law, further limiting patient 
        choice.
            (3) Then-Speaker of the House, Pelosi, said that 
        the President's health care law would create 4 million 
        jobs over the life of the law and almost 400,000 jobs 
        immediately. Instead, the Congressional Budget Office 
        estimates that the reduction in hours worked due to 
        Obamacare represents a decline of about 2.0 to 2.5 
        million full-time equivalent workers, compared with 
        what would have occurred in the absence of the law. The 
        full impact on labor represents a reduction in 
        employment by 1.5 percent to 2.0 percent, while 
        additional studies show less modest results. A recent 
        study by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University 
        estimates that Obamacare will reduce employment by up 
        to 3 percent, or about 4 million full-time equivalent 
        workers.
            (4) The President has charged the Independent 
        Payment Advisory Board, a panel of unelected 
        bureaucrats, with cutting Medicare by an additional 
        $20.9 billion over the next ten years, according to the 
        President's most recent budget.
            (5) Since ACA was signed into law, the 
        administration has repeatedly failed to implement it as 
        written. The President has unilaterally acted to make a 
        total of 28 changes, delays, and exemptions. The 
        President has signed into law another 17 changes made 
        by Congress. The Supreme Court struck down the forced 
        expansion of Medicaid; ruled the individual ``mandate'' 
        could only be characterized as a tax to remain 
        constitutional; and rejected the requirement that 
        closely held companies provide health insurance to 
        their employees if doing so violates these companies' 
        religious beliefs. Even now, almost five years after 
        enactment, the Supreme Court continues to evaluate the 
        legality of how the President's administration has 
        implemented the law. All of these changes prove the 
        folly underlying the entire program--health care in the 
        United States cannot be run from a centralized 
        bureaucracy.
            (6) The President's health care law is 
        unaffordable, intrusive, overreaching, destructive, and 
        unworkable. Its complex structure of subsidies, 
        mandates, and penalties perversely impact individuals, 
        married couples, and families. The law should be fully 
        repealed, allowing for real, patient-centered health 
        care reform: the development of real health care 
        reforms that puts patients first, that make affordable, 
        quality health care available to all Americans, and 
        that build on the innovation and creativity of all the 
        participants in the health care sector.
    (b) Policy on Promoting Real Health Care Reform.--In the 
House of Representatives, it is the policy of this concurrent 
resolution that the President's health care law should be fully 
repealed and real health care reform promoted in accordance 
with the following principles:
            (1) In general.--Health care reform should enhance 
        affordability, accessibility, quality, innovation, 
        choices and responsiveness in health care coverage for 
        all Americans, putting patients, families, and doctors 
        in charge, not Washington, DC. These reforms should 
        encourage increased competition and transparency. Under 
        the President's health care law, government controls 
        Americans' health care choices. Under true, patient-
        centered reform, Americans would.
            (2) Affordability.--Real reform should be centered 
        on ensuring that all Americans, no matter their age, 
        income, or health status, have the ability to afford 
        health care coverage. The health care delivery 
        structure should be improved, and individuals should 
        not be priced out of the health insurance market due to 
        pre-existing conditions, but nationalized health care 
        is not only unnecessary to accomplish this, it 
        undermines the goal. Individuals should be allowed to 
        join together voluntarily to pool risk through 
        mechanisms such as Individual Membership Associations 
        and Small Employer Membership Associations.
            (3) Accessability.--Instead of Washington outlining 
        for Americans the ways they cannot use their health 
        insurance, reforms should make health coverage more 
        portable. Individuals should be able to own their 
        insurance and have it follow them in and out of jobs 
        throughout their career. Small business owners should 
        be permitted to band together across State lines 
        through their membership in bona fide trade or 
        professional associations to purchase health coverage 
        for their families and employees at a low cost. This 
        will increase small businesses' bargaining power, 
        volume discounts, and administrative efficiencies while 
        giving them freedom from State-mandated benefit 
        packages. Also, insurers licensed to sell policies in 
        one State should be permitted to offer them to 
        residents in any other State, and consumers should be 
        permitted to shop for health insurance across State 
        lines, as they are with other insurance products 
        online, by mail, by phone, or in consultation with an 
        insurance agent.
            (4) Quality.--Incentives for providers to deliver 
        high-quality, responsive, and coordinated care will 
        promote patient outcomes and drive down health care 
        costs. Likewise, reforms that work to restore the 
        patient-physician relationship by reducing 
        administrative burdens and allowing physicians to do 
        what they do best--care for patients.
            (5) Choices.--Individuals and families should be 
        free to secure the health care coverage that best meets 
        their needs, rather than instituting one-size-fits-all 
        directives from Federal bureaucracies such as the 
        Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Health and 
        Human Services, and the Independent Payment Advisory 
        Board.
            (6) Innovation.--Instead of stifling innovation in 
        health care technologies, treatments, medications, and 
        therapies with Federal mandates, taxes, and price 
        controls, a reformed health care system should 
        encourage research, development and innovation.
            (7) Responsiveness.--Reform should return authority 
        to States wherever possible to make the system more 
        responsive to patients and their needs. Instead of 
        tying States' hands with Federal requirements for their 
        Medicaid programs, the Federal Government should return 
        control of this program to the States. Not only does 
        the current Medicaid program drive up Federal debt and 
        threaten to bankrupt State budgets, but States are 
        better positioned to provide quality, affordable care 
        to those who are eligible for the program and to track 
        down and weed out waste, fraud and abuse. Beneficiary 
        choices in the State Children's Health Insurance 
        Program (SCHIP) and Medicaid should be improved. States 
        should make available the purchase of private insurance 
        as an option to their Medicaid and SCHIP populations 
        (though they should not require enrollment).
            (8) Reforms.--Reforms should be made to prevent 
        lawsuit abuse and curb the practice of defensive 
        medicine, which are significant drivers increasing 
        health care costs. The burden of proof in medical 
        malpractice cases should be based on compliance with 
        best practice guidelines, and States should be free to 
        implement those policies to best suit their needs.

SEC. 6206. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) More than 50 million Americans depend on 
        Medicare for their health security.
            (2) The Medicare Trustees Report has repeatedly 
        recommended that Medicare's long-term financial 
        challenges be addressed soon. Each year without reform, 
        the financial condition of Medicare becomes more 
        precarious and the threat to those in or near 
        retirement becomes more pronounced. According to the 
        Medicare Trustees Report--
                    (A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will 
                be exhausted in 2030 and unable to pay 
                scheduled benefits;
                    (B) Medicare enrollment is expected to 
                increase by over 50 percent in the next two 
                decades, as 10,000 baby boomers reach 
                retirement age each day;
                    (C) enrollees remain in Medicare three 
                times longer than at the outset of the program;
                    (D) current workers' payroll contributions 
                pay for current beneficiaries;
                    (E) in 2013, the ratio was 3.2 workers per 
                beneficiary, but this falls to 2.3 in 2030 and 
                continues to decrease over time;
                    (F) most Medicare beneficiaries receive 
                about three dollars in Medicare benefits for 
                every one dollar paid into the program; and
                    (G) Medicare spending is growing faster 
                than the economy and Medicare outlays are 
                currently rising at a rate of 6.5 percent per 
                year over the next 10 years. According to the 
                Congressional Budget Office's 2014 Long-Term 
                Budget Outlook, spending on Medicare is 
                projected to reach 5 percent of gross domestic 
                product (GDP) by 2043 and 9.3 percent of GDP by 
                2089.
            (3) Failing to address this problem will leave 
        millions of American seniors without adequate health 
        security and younger generations burdened with enormous 
        debt to pay for spending levels that cannot be 
        sustained.
    (b) Policy on Medicare Reform.--In the House of 
Representatives, it is the policy of this concurrent resolution 
to preserve the program for those in or near retirement and 
strengthen Medicare for future beneficiaries.
    (c) Assumptions.--This concurrent resolution assumes reform 
of the Medicare program such that--
            (1) current Medicare benefits are preserved for 
        those in or near retirement;
            (2) permanent reform of the sustainable growth rate 
        is responsibly accounted for to ensure physicians 
        continue to participate in the Medicare program and 
        provide quality health care for beneficiaries;
            (3) when future generations reach eligibility, 
        Medicare is reformed to provide a premium support 
        payment and a selection of guaranteed health coverage 
        options from which recipients can choose a plan that 
        best suits their needs;
            (4) Medicare will maintain traditional fee-for-
        service as a plan option;
            (5) Medicare will provide additional assistance for 
        lower income beneficiaries and those with greater 
        health risks; and
            (6) Medicare spending is put on a sustainable path 
        and the Medicare program becomes solvent over the long-
        term.

SEC. 6207. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICAL DISCOVERY, DEVELOPMENT, DELIVERY 
                    AND INNOVATION.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) For decades, the Nation's commitment to the 
        discovery, development, and delivery of new treatments 
        and cures has made the United States the biomedical 
        innovation capital of the world, bringing life-saving 
        drugs and devices to patients and well over a million 
        high-paying jobs to local communities.
            (2) Thanks to the visionary and determined 
        leadership of innovators throughout America, including 
        industry, academic medical centers, and the National 
        Institutes of Health (NIH), the United States has led 
        the way in early discovery. The United States 
        leadership role is being threatened, however, as other 
        countries contribute more to basic research from both 
        public and private sources.
            (3) The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and 
        Development predicts that China, for example, will 
        outspend the United States in total research and 
        development by the end of the decade.
            (4) Federal policies should foster innovation in 
        health care, not stifle it. America should maintain its 
        world leadership in medical science by encouraging 
        competitive forces to work through the marketplace in 
        delivering cures and therapies to patients.
            (5) Too often the bureaucracy and red-tape in 
        Washington hold back medical innovation and prevent new 
        lifesaving treatments from reaching patients. This 
        concurrent resolution recognizes the valuable role of 
        the NIH and the indispensable contributions to medical 
        research coming from outside Washington.
            (6) America is the greatest, most innovative Nation 
        on Earth. Her people are innovators, entrepreneurs, 
        visionaries, and relentless builders of the future. 
        Americans were responsible for the first telephone, the 
        first airplane, the first computer, for putting the 
        first man on the moon, for creating the first vaccine 
        for polio and for legions of other scientific and 
        medical breakthroughs that have improved and prolonged 
        human health and life for countless people in America 
        and around the world.
    (b) Policy on Medical Innovation.--
            (1) In the House of Representatives, it is the 
        policy of this concurrent resolution to support the 
        important work of medical innovators throughout the 
        country, including private-sector innovators, medical 
        centers and the National Institutes of Health.
            (2) At the same time, the budget calls for 
        continued strong funding for the agencies that engage 
        in valuable research and development, while also urging 
        Washington to get out of the way of researchers, 
        discoverers and innovators all over the country.

SEC. 6208. POLICY STATEMENT ON FEDERAL REGULATORY REFORM.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) Excessive regulation at the Federal level has 
        hurt job creation and dampened the economy, slowing the 
        Nation's recovery from the economic recession.
            (2) Since President Obama's inauguration in 2009, 
        the administration has issued more than 468,500 pages 
        of regulations in the Federal Register including 70,066 
        pages in 2014.
            (3) The National Association of Manufacturers 
        estimates the total cost of regulations is as high as 
        $2.03 trillion per year. Since 2009, the White House 
        has generated more than $494 billion in regulatory 
        activity, with an additional $87.6 billion in 
        regulatory costs currently pending.
            (4) The Dodd-Frank financial services legislation 
        (Public Law 111-203) has resulted in more than $32 
        billion in compliance costs and saddled job creators 
        with more than 63 million hours of compliance 
        paperwork.
            (5) Implementation of the Affordable Care Act to 
        date has added 132.9 million annual hours of compliance 
        paperwork, imposing $24.3 billion of compliance costs 
        on the private sector and an $8 billion cost burden on 
        the States.
            (6) The highest regulatory costs come from rules 
        issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); 
        these regulations are primarily targeted at the coal 
        industry. In June 2014, the EPA proposed a rule to cut 
        carbon pollution from the Nation's power plants. The 
        proposed standards are unachievable with current 
        commercially available technology, resulting in a de-
        facto ban on new coal-fired power plants.
            (7) Coal-fired power plants provide roughly 40 
        percent of the United States electricity at a low cost. 
        Unfairly targeting the coal industry with costly and 
        unachievable regulations will increase energy prices, 
        disproportionately disadvantaging energy-intensive 
        industries like manufacturing and construction, and 
        will make life more difficult for millions of low-
        income and middle class families already struggling to 
        pay their bills.
            (8) Three hundred and thirty coal units are being 
        retired or converted as a result of EPA regulations. 
        Combined with the de-facto prohibition on new plants, 
        these retirements and conversions may further increase 
        the cost of electricity.
            (9) A recent study by the energy market analysis 
        group Energy Ventures Analysis Inc. estimates the 
        average energy bill in West Virginia will rise $750 per 
        household by 2020, due in part to EPA regulations. West 
        Virginia receives 95 percent of its electricity from 
        coal.
            (10) The Heritage Foundation found that a phase-out 
        of coal would cost 600,000 jobs by the end of 2023, 
        resulting in an aggregate gross domestic product 
        decrease of $2.23 trillion over the entire period and 
        reducing the income of a family of four by $1,200 per 
        year. Of these jobs, 330,000 will come from the 
        manufacturing sector, with California, Texas, Ohio, 
        Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York, Indiana, 
        North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Georgia seeing the 
        highest job losses.
    (b) Policy on Federal Regulatory Reform.--In the House of 
Representatives, it is the policy of this concurrent resolution 
that Congress should, in consultation with the public burdened 
by excessive regulation, enact legislation that--
            (1) promotes economic growth and job creation by 
        eliminating unnecessary red tape and streamlining and 
        simplifying Federal regulations;
            (2) requires the implementation of a regulatory 
        budget to be allocated amongst Government agencies, 
        which would require congressional approval and limit 
        the maximum costs of regulations in a given year;
            (3) requires congressional approval of all new 
        major regulations (those with an impact of $100 million 
        or more) before enactment as opposed to current law in 
        which Congress must expressly disapprove of regulation 
        to prevent it from becoming law, which would keep 
        Congress engaged as to pending regulatory policy and 
        prevent costly and unsound policies from being 
        implemented and becoming effective;
            (4) requires a three year retrospective cost-
        benefit analysis of all new major regulations, to 
        ensure that regulations operate as intended;
            (5) reinforces the requirement of regulatory impact 
        analysis for regulations proposed by executive branch 
        agencies but also expands the requirement to 
        independent agencies so that by law they consider the 
        costs and benefits of proposed regulations rather than 
        merely being encouraged to do so as is current 
        practice; and
            (6) requires a formal rulemaking process for all 
        major regulations, which would increase transparency 
        over the process and allow interested parties to 
        communicate their views on proposed legislation to 
        agency officials.

SEC. 6209. POLICY STATEMENT ON HIGHER EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE 
                    DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY.

    (a) Findings on Higher Education.--The House of 
Representatives finds the following:
            (1) A well-educated workforce is critical to 
        economic, job, and wage growth.
            (2) Roughly 20 million students are enrolled in 
        American colleges and universities.
            (3) Over the past decade, tuition and fees have 
        been growing at an unsustainable rate. Between the 
        2004-2005 Academic Year and the 2014-2015 Academic 
        Year--
                    (A) published tuition and fees at public 4-
                year colleges and universities increased at an 
                average rate of 3.5 percent per year above the 
                rate of inflation;
                    (B) published tuition and fees at public 
                two-year colleges and universities increased at 
                an average rate of 2.5 percent per year above 
                the rate of inflation; and
                    (C) published tuition and fees at private 
                nonprofit 4-year colleges and universities 
                increased at an average rate of 2.2 percent per 
                year above the rate of inflation.
            (4) Federal financial aid for higher education has 
        also seen a dramatic increase. The portion of the 
        Federal student aid portfolio composed of Direct Loans, 
        Federal Family Education Loans, and Perkins Loans with 
        outstanding balances grew by 119 percent between fiscal 
        year 2007 and fiscal year 2014.
            (5) This spending has failed to make college more 
        affordable.
            (6) In his 2012 State of the Union Address, 
        President Obama noted: ``We can't just keep subsidizing 
        skyrocketing tuition; we'll run out of money''.
            (7) American students are chasing ever-increasing 
        tuition with ever-increasing debt. According to the 
        Federal Reserve Bank of New York, student debt now 
        stands at nearly $1.2 trillion. This makes student 
        loans the second largest balance of consumer debt, 
        after mortgage debt.
            (8) Students are carrying large debt loads and too 
        many fail to complete college or end up defaulting on 
        these loans due to their debt burden and a weak economy 
        and job market.
            (9) Based on estimates from the Congressional 
        Budget Office, the Pell Grant Program will face a 
        fiscal shortfall beginning in fiscal year 2017 and 
        continuing in each subsequent year in the current 
        budget window.
            (10) Failing to address these problems will 
        jeopardize access and affordability to higher education 
        for America's young people.
    (b) Policy on Higher Education Affordability.--In the House 
of Representatives, it is the policy of this concurrent 
resolution to address the root drivers of tuition inflation, 
by--
            (1) targeting Federal financial aid to those most 
        in need;
            (2) streamlining programs that provide aid to make 
        them more effective;
            (3) maintaining the maximum Pell grant award level 
        at $5,775 in each year of the budget window; and
            (4) removing regulatory barriers in higher 
        education that act to restrict flexibility and 
        innovative teaching, particularly as it relates to non-
        traditional models such as online coursework and 
        competency-based learning.
    (c) Findings on Workforce Development.--The House of 
Representatives finds the following:
            (1) 8.7 million Americans are currently unemployed.
            (2) Despite billions of dollars in spending, those 
        looking for work are stymied by a broken workforce 
        development system that fails to connect workers with 
        assistance and employers with trained personnel.
            (3) The House Education and Workforce Committee 
        successfully consolidated 15 job training programs in 
        the recently enacted Workforce Innovation and 
        Opportunity Act.
    (d) Policy on Workforce Development.--In the House of 
Representatives, it is the policy of this concurrent resolution 
to address the failings in the current workforce development 
system, by--
            (1) further streamlining and consolidating Federal 
        job training programs; and
            (2) empowering states with the flexibility to 
        tailor funding and programs to the specific needs of 
        their workforce, including the development of career 
        scholarships.

SEC. 6210. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) For years, there has been serious concern 
        regarding the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 
        bureaucratic mismanagement and continuous failure to 
        provide veterans timely access to health care and 
        benefits.
            (2) In 2014, reports started breaking across the 
        Nation that VA medical centers were manipulating wait-
        list documents to hide long delays veterans were facing 
        to receive health care. The VA hospital scandal led to 
        the immediate resignation of then-Secretary of Veterans 
        Affairs Eric K. Shinseki.
            (3) In 2015, for the first time ever, VA health 
        care was added to the ``high-risk'' list of the 
        Government Accountability Office (GAO), due to 
        management and oversight failures that have directly 
        resulted in risks to the timeliness, cost-
        effectiveness, and quality of health care.
            (4) In response to the scandal, the House Committee 
        on Veterans' Affairs held several oversight hearings 
        and ultimately enacted the Veterans' Access, Choice and 
        Accountability Act of 2014 (VACAA) (Public Law 113-146) 
        to address these problems. VACAA provided $15 billion 
        in emergency resources to fund internal health care 
        needs within the department and provided veterans 
        enhanced access to private-sector health care under the 
        new Veterans Choice Program.
    (b) Policy on the Department of Veterans Affairs.--This 
budget supports the continued oversight efforts by the 
Committee on Veterans' Affairs of the House of Representatives 
to ensure the VA is not only transparent and accountable, but 
also successful in achieving its goals in providing timely 
health care and benefits to America's veterans. The Committee 
on the Budget of the House of Representatives will continue to 
closely monitor the VA's progress to ensure resources provided 
by Congress are sufficient and efficiently used to provide 
needed benefits and services to veterans.

SEC. 6211. POLICY STATEMENT ON FEDERAL ACCOUNTING METHODOLOGIES.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) Given the thousands of Federal programs and 
        trillions of dollars the Federal Government spends each 
        year, assessing and accounting for Federal fiscal 
        activities and liabilities is a complex undertaking.
            (2) Current methods of accounting leave much to be 
        desired in capturing the full scope of government and 
        in presenting information in a clear and compelling way 
        that illuminates the best options going forward.
            (3) Most fiscal analysis produced by the 
        Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is conducted over a 
        relatively short time horizon: 10 or 25 years. While 
        this time frame is useful for most purposes, it fails 
        to consider the fiscal consequences over the longer 
        term.
            (4) Additionally, current accounting methodology 
        does not provide an analysis of how the Federal 
        Government's fiscal situation over the long run affects 
        Americans of various age cohorts.
            (5) Another consideration is how Federal programs 
        should be accounted for. The ``accrual method'' of 
        accounting records revenue when it is earned and 
        expenses when they are incurred, while the ``cash 
        method'' records revenue and expenses when cash is 
        actually paid or received.
            (6) The Federal budget accounts for most programs 
        using cash accounting. Some programs, however, 
        particularly loan and loan guarantee programs, are 
        accounted for using accrual methods.
            (7) GAO has indicated that accrual accounting may 
        provide a more accurate estimation of the Federal 
        Government's liabilities than cash accounting for some 
        programs specifically those that provide some form of 
        insurance.
            (8) Where accrual accounting is used, it is almost 
        exclusively calculated by CBO according to the 
        methodology outlined in the Federal Credit Reform Act 
        of 1990 (FCRA). CBO uses fair value methodology instead 
        of FCRA to measure the cost of Fannie Mae and Freddie 
        Mac, for example.
            (9) FCRA methodology, however, understates the risk 
        and thus the true cost of Federal programs. An 
        alternative is fair value methodology, which uses 
        discount rates that incorporate the risk inherent to 
        the type of liability being estimated in addition to 
        Treasury discount rates of the proper maturity length.
            (10) The Congressional Budget Office has concluded 
        that ``adopting a fair-value approach would provide a 
        more comprehensive way to measure the costs of Federal 
        credit programs and would permit more level comparisons 
        between those costs and the costs of other forms of 
        federal assistance'' than the current approach under 
        FCRA.
    (b) Policy on Federal Accounting Methodologies.--In the 
House of Representatives, it is the policy of this concurrent 
resolution that Congress should, in consultation with the 
Congressional Budget Office and the public affected by Federal 
budgetary choices, adopt Government-wide reforms of budget and 
accounting practices so the American people and their 
representatives can more readily understand the fiscal 
situation of the Government of the United States and the 
options best suited to improving it. Such reforms may include 
but should not be limited to the following:
            (1) Providing additional metrics to enhance our 
        current analysis by considering our fiscal situation 
        comprehensively, over an extended time horizon, and as 
        it affects Americans of various age cohorts.
            (2) Expanding the use of accrual accounting where 
        appropriate.
            (3) Accounting for certain Federal credit programs 
        using fair value accounting as opposed to the current 
        approach under the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990.

SEC. 6212. POLICY STATEMENT ON REDUCING UNNECESSARY, WASTEFUL, AND 
                    UNAUTHORIZED SPENDING.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is 
        required by law to identify examples of waste, 
        duplication, and overlap in Federal programs, and has 
        so identified dozens of such examples.
            (2) In its report to Congress on Government 
        Efficiency and Effectiveness, the Comptroller General 
        has stated that addressing the identified waste, 
        duplication, and overlap in Federal programs could 
        ``lead to tens of billions of dollars of additional 
        savings.''.
            (3) In 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 the GAO issued 
        reports showing excessive duplication and redundancy in 
        Federal programs including--
                    (A) two hundred nine Science, Technology, 
                Engineering, and Mathematics education programs 
                in 13 different Federal agencies at a cost of 
                $3 billion annually;
                    (B) two hundred separate Department of 
                Justice crime prevention and victim services 
                grant programs with an annual cost of $3.9 
                billion in 2010;
                    (C) twenty different Federal entities 
                administer 160 housing programs and other forms 
                of Federal assistance for housing with a total 
                cost of $170 billion in 2010;
                    (D) seventeen separate Homeland Security 
                preparedness grant programs that spent $37 
                billion between fiscal years 2011 and 2012;
                    (E) fourteen grant and loan programs, and 
                three tax benefits to reduce diesel emissions;
                    (F) ninety-four different initiatives run 
                by 11 different agencies to encourage ``green 
                building'' in the private sector; and
                    (G) twenty-three agencies implemented 
                approximately 670 renewable energy initiatives 
                in fiscal year 2010 at a cost of nearly $15 
                billion.
            (4) The Federal Government spends more than $80 
        billion each year for approximately 1,400 information 
        technology investments. GAO has identified broad 
        acquisition failures, waste, and unnecessary 
        duplication in the Government's information technology 
        infrastructure. experts have estimated that eliminating 
        these problems could save 25 percent or $20 billion.
            (5) GAO has identified strategic sourcing as a 
        potential source of spending reductions. In 2011 GAO 
        estimated that saving 10 percent of the total or all 
        Federal procurement could generate more than $50 
        billion in savings annually.
            (6) Federal agencies reported an estimated $106 
        billion in improper payments in fiscal year 2013.
            (7) Under clause 2 of rule XI of the Rules of the 
        House of Representatives, each standing committee must 
        hold at least one hearing during each 120 day period 
        following its establishment on waste, fraud, abuse, or 
        mismanagement in Government programs.
            (8) According to the Congressional Budget Office, 
        by fiscal year 2015, 32 laws will expire, possibly 
        resulting in $693 billion in unauthorized 
        appropriations. Timely reauthorizations of these laws 
        would ensure assessments of program justification and 
        effectiveness.
            (9) The findings resulting from congressional 
        oversight of Federal Government programs should result 
        in programmatic changes in both authorizing statutes 
        and program funding levels.
    (b) Policy on Reducing Unnecessary, Wasteful, and 
Unauthorized Spending.--
            (1) Each authorizing committee of the House of 
        Representatives annually should include in its Views 
        and Estimates letter required under section 301(d) of 
        the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 recommendations to 
        the Committee on the Budget of the House of 
        Representatives of programs within the jurisdiction of 
        such committee whose funding should be reduced or 
        eliminated.
            (2) Committees of jurisdiction should review all 
        unauthorized programs funded through annual 
        appropriations to determine if the programs are 
        operating efficiently and effectively.
            (3) Committees should reauthorize those programs 
        that in the committees' judgment should continue to 
        receive funding.
            (4) For those programs not reauthorized by 
        committees, the House of Representatives should enforce 
        the limitations on funding such unauthorized programs 
        in the House rules. If the strictures of the rules are 
        deemed to be too rapid in prohibiting spending on 
        unauthorized programs, then milder measures should be 
        adopted and enforced until a return to the full 
        prohibition of clause 2(a)(1) of rule XXI of the Rules 
        of the House.

SEC. 6213. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE 
                    CANCELLATION OF UNOBLIGATED BALANCES.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) According to the most recent estimate from the 
        Office of Management and Budget, Federal agencies were 
        expected to hold $844 billion in unobligated balances 
        at the close of fiscal year 2015.
            (2) These funds represent direct and discretionary 
        spending previously made available by Congress that 
        remains available for expenditure.
            (3) In some cases, agencies are granted funding and 
        it remains available for obligation indefinitely.
            (4) The Congressional Budget and Impoundment 
        Control Act of 1974 requires the Office of Management 
        and Budget to make funds available to agencies for 
        obligation and prohibits the Administration from 
        withholding or cancelling unobligated funds unless 
        approved by an Act of Congress.
            (5) Greater congressional oversight is required to 
        review and identify potential savings from canceling 
        unobligated balances of funds that are no longer 
        needed.
    (b) Policy on Deficit Reduction Through the Cancellation of 
Unobligated Balances.--In the House of Representatives, 
committees should through their oversight activities identify 
and achieve savings through the cancellation or rescission of 
unobligated balances that neither abrogate contractual 
obligations of the Government nor reduce or disrupt Federal 
commitments under programs such as Social Security, veterans' 
affairs, national security, and Treasury authority to finance 
the national debt.
    (c) Deficit Reduction.--The House of Representatives, with 
the assistance of the Government Accountability Office, the 
Inspectors General, and other appropriate agencies should 
continue to make it a high priority to review unobligated 
balances and identify savings for deficit reduction.

SEC. 6214. POLICY STATEMENT ON AGENCY FEES AND SPENDING.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) A number of Federal agencies and organizations 
        have permanent authority to collect fees and other 
        offsetting collections and to spend these collected 
        funds.
            (2) The total amount of offsetting fees and 
        offsetting collections is estimated by the Office of 
        Management and Budget to be $525 billion in fiscal year 
        2016.
            (3) Agency budget justifications are, in some 
        cases, not fully transparent about the amount of 
        program activity funded through offsetting collections 
        or fees. This lack of transparency prevents effective 
        and accountable government.
    (b) Policy on Agency Fees and Spending.--In the House of 
Representatives, it is the policy of this concurrent resolution 
that Congress must reassert its constitutional prerogative to 
control spending and conduct oversight. To do so, Congress 
should enact legislation requiring programs that are funded 
through fees, offsetting receipts, or offsetting collections to 
be allocated new budget authority annually. Such allocation may 
arise from--
            (1) legislation originating from the authorizing 
        committee of jurisdiction for the agency or program; or
            (2) fee and account specific allocations included 
        in annual appropriation Acts.

SEC. 6215. POLICY STATEMENT ON RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP OF TAXPAYER 
                    DOLLARS.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) The budget for the House of Representatives is 
        $188 million less than it was when Republicans became 
        the majority in 2011.
            (2) The House of Representatives has achieved 
        significant savings by consolidating operations and 
        renegotiating contracts.
    (b) Policy on Responsible Stewardship of Taxpayer 
Dollars.--In the House of Representatives, it is the policy of 
this concurrent resolution that:
            (1) The House of Representatives must be a model 
        for the responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources 
        and therefore must identify any savings that can be 
        achieved through greater productivity and efficiency 
        gains in the operation and maintenance of House 
        services and resources like printing, conferences, 
        utilities, telecommunications, furniture, grounds 
        maintenance, postage, and rent. This should include a 
        review of policies and procedures for acquisition of 
        goods and services to eliminate any unnecessary 
        spending. The Committee on House Administration should 
        review the policies pertaining to the services provided 
        to Members and committees of the House of 
        Representatives, and should identify ways to reduce any 
        subsidies paid for the operation of the House gym, 
        barber shop, salon, and the House dining room.
            (2) No taxpayer funds may be used to purchase first 
        class airfare or to lease corporate jets for Members of 
        Congress.
            (3) Retirement benefits for Members of Congress 
        should not include free, taxpayer-funded health care 
        for life.

SEC. 6216. POLICY STATEMENT ON ``NO BUDGET, NO PAY''.

    In the House of Representatives, it is the policy of this 
concurrent resolution that Congress should agree to a 
concurrent resolution on the budget every year pursuant to 
section 301 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. If by 
April 15, the House of Representatives has not agreed to a 
concurrent resolution on the budget, the payroll administrator 
of the House of Representatives should carry out this policy in 
the same manner as the provisions of Public Law 113-3, the No 
Budget, No Pay Act of 2013, and should place in an escrow 
account all compensation otherwise required to be made for 
Members of the House of Representatives. Withheld compensation 
should be released to Members of the House of Representatives 
the earlier of the day on which the House of Representatives 
agrees to a concurrent resolution on the budget, pursuant to 
section 301 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, or the 
last day of that Congress.

SEC. 6217. POLICY STATEMENT ON NATIONAL SECURITY FUNDING.

    (a) Findings.--The House of Representatives finds the 
following:
            (1) Russian aggression, the growing threats of the 
        Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in the Middle 
        East, North Korean and Iranian nuclear and missile 
        programs, and continued Chinese investments in high-end 
        military capabilities and cyber warfare shape the 
        parameters of an increasingly complex and challenging 
        security environment.
            (2) All four current service chiefs testified that 
        the National Military Strategy could not be executed at 
        sequestration levels.
            (3) The independent and bipartisan National Defense 
        Panel conducted risk assessments of force structure 
        changes triggered by the Budget Control Act of 2011 
        (BCA) and concluded that in addition to previous cuts 
        to defense dating back to 2009, the sequestration of 
        defense discretionary spending has ``caused significant 
        shortfalls in U.S. military readiness and both present 
        and future capabilities''.
            (4) The President's fiscal year 2016 budget 
        irresponsibly ignores current law and requests a 
        defense budget $38 billion above the caps for 
        rhetorical gain. By creating an expectation of spending 
        without a plan to avoid the BCA's guaranteed sequester 
        upon breaching of its caps, the White House's proposal 
        compounds the fiscal uncertainty that has affected the 
        military's ability to adequately plan for future 
        contingencies and make investments crucial for the 
        Nation's defense.
            (5) The President's budget proposes $1.8 trillion 
        in tax increases, in addition to the $1.7 trillion in 
        tax hikes the Administration has already imposed. The 
        President's tax increases would further burden economic 
        growth and is not a realistic source for offsets to 
        fund defense sequester replacement.
    (b) Policy on Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Funding.--
In fiscal year 2015, the House-passed budget resolution 
anticipated $566 billion for national defense in the 
discretionary base budget for fiscal year 2016. With no 
necessary statutory change yet provided by Congress, the BCA 
statute would require limiting national defense discretionary 
base funding to $523 billion in fiscal year 2016. However, in 
total with $90 billion, the House of Representatives Budget 
estimate for Overseas Contingency Operations funding for the 
Department of Defense, the fiscal year 2016 budget provides 
over $613 billion total for defense spending that is higher 
than the President's budget request for the fiscal year.
    (c) Defense Readiness and Modernization Fund.--(1) The 
budget resolution recognizes the need to ensure robust funding 
for national defense while maintaining overall fiscal 
discipline. The budget resolution prioritizes our national 
defense and the needs of the warfighter by providing needed 
dollars through the creation of the ``Defense Readiness and 
Modernization Fund''.
    (2) The Defense Readiness and Modernization Fund provides 
the mechanism for Congress to responsibly allocate in a 
deficit-neutral way the resources the military needs to secure 
the safety and liberty of United States citizens from threats 
at home and abroad. The Defense Readiness and Modernization 
Fund will provide the chair of the Committee on the Budget of 
the House of Representatives the ability to increase 
allocations to support legislation that would provide for the 
Department of Defense warfighting capabilities, modernization, 
training and maintenance associated with combat readiness, 
activities to reach full auditability of the Department of 
Defense's financial statements, and implementation of military 
and compensation reforms.
    (d) Sequester Replacement for National Defense.--This 
concurrent resolution encourages an immediate reevaluation of 
Federal Government priorities to maintain the strength of 
America's national security posture. In identifying policies to 
restructure and stabilize the Government's major entitlement 
programs which, along with net interest, will consume all 
Federal revenue in less than 20 years, the budget also charts a 
course that can ensure the availability of needed national 
security resources.
    And the House agree to the same.

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

      The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at 
the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
the amendment of the House to the concurrent resolution (S. 
Con. Res. 11), setting forth the congressional budget for the 
United States Government for fiscal year 2016 and setting forth 
the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2017 through 
2025, submit the following joint statement to the House and the 
Senate in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon 
by the managers and recommended in the accompanying conference 
report:
                   Joint Explanatory Statement of the
                        Committee on Conference

      The conference agreement between the Senate and the House 
on the fiscal year 2016 budget resolution is a statement of 
good faith to the American people that Congress can govern 
responsibly and effectively. This budget agreement achieves 
five important objectives:
             It balances the budget within 10 years to 
        address the problem of government overspending and 
        rising debt.
             It balances solely by limiting government 
        spending, not by raising taxes, thereby boosting the 
        private sector economy and job creation.
             It provides a path through reconciliation 
        to repeal the Affordable Care Act with its burdensome 
        mandates and restrictions, a first step toward 
        introducing real, patient-centered health care reform.
             It makes national defense a priority and 
        provides for the maximum allowable defense funding 
        under current law, with a fiscally responsible path for 
        further spending increases.
             It calls for a return to regular order in 
        Congress, allowing all committees to act fully and 
        Appropriations Committees to consider spending bills on 
        time.
      It is well known that a budget is more than a set of 
numbers. It is a reflection of national priorities, a vision of 
the future. When developed in a responsible way, a sound 
Federal budget can provide a foundation for moving America in 
the direction of greater opportunity and economic growth and a 
safer and more secure Nation.
      In writing this budget, Congress is restoring a priority 
neglected since fiscal year 2010. Moreover, in writing a 10-
year balanced budget, the House and Senate Budget Committees 
have accomplished something the President's budget never does 
and that Congress last achieved in fiscal year 2002--nearly 15 
years ago. Passing this budget will also let the congressional 
policymakers who actually allocate the dollars get to work and 
observe its spending limits to achieve the Nation's goals.
      The agreement presents a responsible path forward to 
reduce the Nation's debt burden and expand economic opportunity 
for all Americans. In meeting the goals cited above, the budget 
aims to restore public trust by eliminating wasteful Washington 
overspending; making government truly more effective and more 
accountable; protecting America's most vulnerable citizens; and 
strengthening the health and retirement of the Nation's 
seniors. It ensures taxpayers' dollars are spent more wisely, 
and that Medicare, Medicaid, nutrition assistance, and other 
programs can deliver on their promises. While providing a 
sturdy and reliable safety net for those who need it, this 
budget also helps others break free of government dependency 
and pursue self-sufficiency.
      The budget's deficit reduction also will have tangible 
benefits for the economy. The Congressional Budget Office [CBO] 
has analyzed how the funding changes contained in the 
conference report likely would affect U.S. economic 
performance, finding that the fully implemented spending levels 
of the budget resolution conference report would improve the 
economy. Specifically, the budget office found that: a) per 
capita real gross national product [GNP], a proxy for a 
country's standard of living, would be 1.4 percent higher in 
2025 than it would be without the spending changes; and b) 
nominal GDP would be $400 billion higher by fiscal year 2025 
than it would otherwise be.
      On the current fiscal trajectory, which is marked by 
rising debt levels as a share of the economy, government 
borrowing would eventually lead to a decline in national 
savings and a ``crowding out'' of private investment. Crowding 
out occurs when the Federal Government's borrowing competes 
successfully with that of private borrowers. Not only can the 
Federal Government command credit resources more readily, 
thanks to its generally superior rating for default risk when 
compared with private borrowers, but excessive borrowing can 
put upward pressure on interest rates that private borrowers 
must pay. Less credit available in private lending markets 
could mean higher prices for Americans as borrowers.
      CBO's analysis of the conference agreement indicates that 
deficit reduction also creates long-term economic benefits 
because it increases the pool of national savings and boosts 
private investment, thereby raising economic growth and job 
creation. CBO estimates that the conference agreement would 
maintain budget balance in the years beyond the budget window 
and significantly reduce Federal debt held by the public as a 
percent of GDP. To put this in perspective, publicly held debt 
to GDP currently stands at 74 percent, its highest level since 
1951, and is projected to rise steadily in the decades ahead 
under CBO's extended current law baseline. CBO estimates that 
the conference agreement would reduce debt as a percent of GDP 
to 56 percent in 2025 and ultimately to about 20 percent in 
2040.
      A congressional budget develops in stages, of which a 
concurrent resolution on the budget agreed to by the House and 
Senate is the first. The resolution establishes a framework for 
fiscal policy and proposes an alignment of resources with 
Congress's governing priorities. It is the only legislative 
vehicle that reflects a global assessment of the governing 
majority's priorities and the demands on Federal resources. 
Subsequently, respective committees of jurisdiction develop, in 
accordance with their judgments, policy reforms needed to 
achieve the budget's fiscal aims, guided by the budget's 
aggregates and recommended function levels, as presented later 
in this statement.
      The managers on the part of the House and the Senate of 
the conference on the votes in disagreement between the Houses 
on the concurrent resolution establishing the congressional 
budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2016, 
and setting forth appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 
2017 through 2025 (S. Con. Res. 11) submit the following joint 
statement to the House and the Senate in explanation of the 
effect of the action agreed upon by the managers and 
recommended in the accompanying conference report.
      The House amendment struck all of the Senate concurrent 
resolution after the resolving clause and inserted the text of 
H. Con. Res. 27.
      The Senate recedes from its disagreement to the amendment 
of the House with an amendment that is a substitute for the 
Senate concurrent resolution and the House amendment. The 
differences among the Senate concurrent resolution, the House 
amendment thereto, and the substitute agreed to in conference 
are noted below, except for clerical corrections, conforming 
changes made necessary by agreements reached by the conferees, 
and minor drafting and clarifying changes.
      Conferees on the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
Fiscal Year 2016 met in public session on Monday, April 20, 
2015.

                          DISPLAYS AND AMOUNTS

      The required contents of concurrent budget resolutions 
are set forth in section 301(a) of the Congressional Budget Act 
of 1974. The years in this document are fiscal years unless 
otherwise noted.
      Each function discussion provides recommended function 
totals for budget authority and outlays, as well as a breakout 
of discretionary (annually appropriated) and direct (or 
mandatory) spending amounts for fiscal year 2016. These figures 
are not binding; they are intended to provide an overall 
accounting of estimated spending requirements and priorities 
according to major categories of government activities. Figures 
for the Senate resolution and the House amendment are based on 
CBO's January 2015 baseline; conference agreement numbers are 
based on CBO's March 2015 baseline, adjusted for the enactment 
of H.R. 2.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate concurrent resolution includes all of the 
items required under Section 301(a) of the Congressional Budget 
Act.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment includes all of the items required as 
part of a concurrent budget resolution under section 301(a) of 
the Congressional Budget Act other than the spending and 
revenue levels for Social Security Retirement and Disability 
(which are used to enforce a point of order applicable only in 
the Senate). It also adds three additional separate budget 
functions: Government-Wide Savings (930); Overseas Contingency 
Operations/Global War on Terrorism (970); and Across-the-Board 
Adjustment (990).
      Discussion of the governing principles underlying the 
budget's recommended policy reforms can be found in House 
Report 114-47 accompanying H. Con. Res. 27, the House 
Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2016.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement includes all of the items 
required under Section 301(a) of the Congressional Budget Act, 
and adds one separate budget function: Overseas Contingency 
Operations/Global War on Terrorism (970).

                          ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS

      Section 301(g)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act 
requires that the joint explanatory statement accompanying a 
conference report on a budget resolution set forth the common 
economic assumptions upon which the joint statement and 
conference report are based. The conference agreement is built 
upon the economic forecasts development by the Congressional 
Budget Office and presented in CBO's ``Updated Budget 
Projections: 2015 to 2015,'' (March 9, 2015).

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate resolution employed CBO's economic assumptions 
published in January 2015.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment uses CBO's economic assumptions 
published in January 2015.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement uses CBO's economic assumption 
published in March 2015.

Notes:
1. Only on-budget amounts for fiscal years 2016-2025 are entered into the budget resolution legislative text. Off-budget amounts are shown for display purposes only.
2. The Office of Management and Budget and the Congressional Budget Office do not separately track outlays for the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) once funds have been appropriated. The budget, therefore, shows in function 970 GWOT
  outlays that result from new budget authority occurring in fiscal years 2016-2025 only. Outlays resulting from GWOT activity prior to fiscal year 2016 are included in budget functions 050 and 150.

                     National Defense: Function 050

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The National Defense function includes funds to develop, 
maintain, and equip the military forces of the United States. 
Historically, about 95 percent of the funding in this function 
goes to Department of Defense military activities; the 
remaining funding applies to atomic energy defense activities 
of the Department of Energy and other defense-related 
activities.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for $531.3 billion in 
regular budget authority and $564.0 billion in outlays in 
fiscal year 2016. Regular discretionary budget authority in 
fiscal year 2016 totals $523.1 billion, with $555.7 billion in 
outlays; direct spending is $8.2 billion in budget authority 
and $8.3 billion in outlays. Over 10 years, regular budget 
authority totals $5,886.8 billion, and outlays are $5,821.5 
billion.
      As well, the function contains $89.0 billion in 
discretionary budget authority and $87.1 billion in related 
outlays for overseas contingency operations.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment abides by the Budget Control Act 
discretionary defense cap of $523 billion for fiscal year 2016. 
In addition to this funding, the House amendment continues to 
prioritize national defense by providing needed dollars through 
the creation of the ``Defense Readiness and Modernization 
Fund.'' The fund will provide the Chairman of the House 
Committee on the Budget the ability to increase the defense 
allocation, in a deficit-neutral way, to support legislation 
that would provide additional resources for the Department of 
Defense [DOD]. In total with $90 billion, the House budget 
estimate for Overseas Contingency Operations funding for DOD, 
the fiscal year 2016 budget provides more than $613 billion 
total for defense spending--higher than the President's budget 
request for the fiscal year.
      The House amendment includes a policy statement 
supporting national defense and the need to replace the defense 
discretionary sequester. Ultimately, the amendment fully 
supports U.S. troops, both at home and abroad, especially as 
the security environment becomes increasingly dangerous, 
complex, and unpredictable.
      The House amendment specifies $531.3 billion in budget 
authority and $564.0 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2016, 
per current law. Discretionary budget authority is $523.1 
billion, with $555.7 billion in associated outlays. Direct 
spending for fiscal year 2016 totals $8.2 billion in budget 
authority and $8.3 billion in outlays. The 10-year function 
totals for budget authority and outlays are $6,329.8 billion 
and $6,226.8 billion, respectively.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement calls for $531.3 billion in 
regular budget authority and $564.3 billion in outlays in 
fiscal year 2016. Regular discretionary budget authority in 
fiscal year 2016 totals $523.1 billion, with $555.5 billion in 
outlays; direct spending is $8.2 billion in budget authority 
and $8.8 billion in outlays. Over 10 years, regular budget 
authority totals $6,001.2 billion, and outlays are $5,920.9 
billion. Additional resources for national security are 
provided outside this budget function through overseas 
contingency operations funding in Function 970.
      The agreement supports funding for national defense that 
is consistent with current law, thus removing the possibility 
of across-the-board reductions to the national security budget. 
The agreement makes clear that U.S. troops will have the 
resources and support they need to meet the challenges of a 
complex security environment. Taking into account both funding 
in this function and the Overseas Contingency Operations 
function, the agreement supports national security spending 
levels above the President's request over the next 5 and 10 
years.

                  International Affairs: Function 150

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The International Affairs function contains spending on 
international humanitarian and development assistance; 
international security assistance; the conduct of foreign 
affairs; foreign information and exchange activities; and 
international financial programs. Major agencies with programs 
funded under this function include the Departments of State, 
Treasury, and Agriculture; the U.S. Agency for International 
Development; and the Millennium Challenge Corporation. Negative 
numbers in the descriptions below reflect receipts from 
foreign-military sales and financing programs.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for $40.7 billion in 
regular budget authority and $46.6 billion in outlays in fiscal 
year 2016. Regular discretionary budget authority in fiscal 
year 2016 totals $41.3 billion, with $47.9 billion in related 
outlays. Direct spending is -$551 million in budget authority 
and -$1.3 billion in outlays. Over 10 years, regular budget 
authority totals $451.8 billion, and outlays are $437.1 
billion.
      The above figures exclude the $7.0 billion in 
discretionary budget authority and $6.8 billion in related 
outlays provided in this function for overseas contingency 
operations.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Since 2001, funding for the international affairs base 
budget (excluding Global War on Terrorism/Overseas Contingency 
Operations funding) has increased by 45 percent, adjusting for 
inflation. Yet more spending has not yielded better results. 
Duplicative programs, programs unrelated to vital U.S. national 
interests, and inefficiencies are prevalent in the budget and 
should be addressed. This amendment represents a thorough re-
evaluation of accounts in this category and prioritizes 
programs that are both integral to the core mission and that 
effectively and efficiently achieve desired outcomes. For this 
budget category, the House amendment proposes a total of $38.3 
billion in budget authority and $42.9 billion in outlays for 
fiscal year 2016. Most of the function's spending is 
discretionary, totaling $38.9 billion in budget authority and 
$44.2 billion in outlays for fiscal year 2016. Direct spending 
amounts are -$551 million in budget authority and -$1.3 billion 
in outlays. Over 10 years the resolution provides $427.6 
billion in budget authority and $410.7 billion in outlays.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement calls for $40.2 billion in 
regular budget authority and $46.0 billion in outlays in fiscal 
year 2016. Regular discretionary budget authority in fiscal 
year 2016 totals $40.1 billion, with $47.1 billion in outlays; 
direct spending is $108 million in budget authority and -$1.1 
billion in outlays. Over 10 years, regular budget authority 
totals $438.5 billion, with outlays of $431.7 billion. 
Additional resources for international affairs are provided 
outside this budget function through overseas contingency 
operations funding in Function 970.
      The agreement supports international affairs activities 
with the goal of promoting U.S. interests abroad and supporting 
humanitarian and development assistance overseas. It recognizes 
the need for review of programs in this function as many of 
them continue to receive funding despite expired 
authorizations. The agreement supports efforts by the 
committees of jurisdiction to reform U.S. foreign aid programs 
to ensure that foreign assistance is prioritized to deliver aid 
in a more effective and transparent manner.

          General Science, Space, and Technology: Function 250

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The General Science, Space, and Technology function 
includes the National Science Foundation, programs other than 
aviation programs at the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration, and general science programs at the Department 
of Energy.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for $30.0 billion in 
budget authority and $30.0 billion in outlays in fiscal year 
2016. Discretionary budget authority in fiscal year 2016 totals 
$29.9 billion, with $29.9 billion in related outlays. Direct 
spending is $107 million in budget authority and $105 million 
in outlays. Over 10 years, budget authority totals $331.4 
billion, and outlays are $328.5 billion.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment reduces excess and unnecessary 
spending, while supporting core government responsibilities. It 
preserves basic research, providing stable funding for the 
National Science Foundation to conduct its authorized 
activities in science, space, and technology basic research, 
development, and science, technology, engineering, and math 
[STEM] education, while shifting the focus back to basic 
research. The amendment provides continued support for the 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA] and 
recognizes the vital strategic importance of the United States 
remaining the pre-eminent space-faring nation. The amendment 
aligns funding in accordance with the NASA core principles to 
support robust space capability, to allow for exploration 
beyond low Earth orbit, and to support the Nation's scientific 
and educational base. Total funding in the amendment is $28.4 
billion and $29.0 billion in budget authority and outlays, 
respectively, in fiscal year 2016. Nearly all the function's 
spending is discretionary, with $28.3 billion in budget 
authority and $28.9 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2016; 
direct spending is $107 million in budget authority and $105 
million in outlays. The 10-year totals are $313.1 billion in 
budget authority and $309.3 billion in outlays.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Function 250 consists almost entirely of discretionary 
funding. The largest component of this category--about half of 
total spending--is for NASA's space-flight, research, and 
supporting activities. The conference agreement recognizes and 
supports preserving the Federal scientific community's original 
role as a venue for groundbreaking basic science research 
discoveries and a driver of innovation and economic growth. The 
agreement calls for $29.2 billion in budget authority and $29.6 
billion in outlays in fiscal year 2016. Discretionary budget 
authority in fiscal year 2016 is $29.1 billion, with outlays of 
$29.5 billion; direct spending is $100 million in budget 
authority and $101 million in outlays. Over 10 years, budget 
authority totals $322.3 billion, and outlays are $318.0 
billion.

                          Energy: Function 270

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The Energy function concerns the production, development, 
and use of energy for the country. This function contains 
civilian energy programs at agencies including the Departments 
of Energy and Agriculture, Tennessee Valley Authority, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, and Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission. Negative numbers in the function mainly reflect the 
incoming repayment of loans and receipts from the sale of 
electricity produced by Federal entities, which are accounted 
for as negative spending.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for -$1.9 billion in 
budget authority and $2.4 billion in outlays in fiscal year 
2016. Discretionary budget authority in fiscal year 2016 totals 
$3.1 billion, with $4.2 billion in related outlays. Direct 
spending is -$5.1 billion in budget authority and -$1.8 billion 
in outlays. Over 10 years, budget authority totals $6.9 
billion, and outlays are $6.1 billion.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      A central aim of policies assumed in this function is to 
ensure that private sector capital is not crowded out by 
government overreach and bureaucratic waste. The policies also 
should protect taxpayers from poor government decision-making 
that wastes Federal dollars and increases energy prices. 
Finally, streamlining research and development activities 
across the Department of Energy will increase efficiency and 
consolidate operations, leading to reduced costs. These are the 
guiding principles for energy policy in the House amendment. 
For fiscal year 2016, the budget resolution provides -$3.6 
billion in budget authority, with $654 million in related 
outlays. The discretionary figures for fiscal year 2016 are 
$2.1 billion in budget authority and $2.4 billion in outlays, 
with direct spending of -$5.6 billion in budget authority and 
-$1.8 billion in outlays. Ten-year function totals are $5.9 
billion in budget authority and $4.7 billion in outlays.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement promotes abundant and affordable 
American energy production and use. It envisions policies that 
realign the size and role of government involvement in the 
private sector, while empowering the committees of jurisdiction 
to pursue legislation in pursuit of these broad goals. The 
agreement provides -$3.2 billion in budget authority for fiscal 
year 2016 and $1.4 billion in outlays. These amounts include 
$2.6 billion in discretionary budget authority and $3.2 billion 
in discretionary outlays, with direct spending of -$5.8 billion 
in budget authority and -$1.8 billion in outlays. Spending over 
the next 10 years totals -$9.1 billion in budget authority and 
-$11.5 billion in outlays.

            Natural Resources and Environment: Function 300

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The Natural Resources and Environment function focuses on 
the management, development, and maintenance of the Nation's 
natural heritage. This function includes conservation of land 
and water resources; development of water power and 
transportation infrastructure; and agencies and resources 
associated with the management and regulation of pollution, 
public and recreational lands, and natural resources.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for $36.3 billion in 
budget authority and $39.0 billion in outlays in fiscal year 
2016. Discretionary budget authority in fiscal year 2016 totals 
$34.5 billion, with $37.2 billion in related outlays. Direct 
spending is $1.8 billion in budget authority and $1.8 billion 
in outlays. Over 10 years, budget authority totals $406.5 
billion, and outlays are $412.5 billion.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment continues to support policies that 
will make America's natural resources available to producers 
who can provide a fair return to taxpayers. In addition to the 
receipts the Federal Government collects from royalties, rents, 
and bonus bids, the increased economic activity on Federal land 
will create jobs and boost economic output. The amendment 
supports reducing the Federal estate, and giving States and 
localities more control over the resources within their 
boundaries. The House budget provides $35.4 billion in budget 
authority for fiscal year 2016, with $38.1 billion in related 
outlays. The discretionary spending figures for fiscal year 
2016 are $34.4 billion in budget authority and $36.8 billion in 
outlays. For direct spending in fiscal 2016, the House 
amendment provides $984 million in budget authority and $1.3 
billion in outlays. Over 10 years, the function totals are 
$380.9 billion in budget authority and $387.4 billion in 
outlays.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement promotes a safe and healthy 
environment that can accompany robust economic growth and job 
creation. It supports better management of the lands and 
resources overseen by the Federal Government, including 
potentially reducing the Federal estate, and a more responsible 
relationship between regulatory agencies and the private 
sector. The agreement provides $36.4 billion in budget 
authority for fiscal year 2016 and $39.5 billion in outlays. 
These figures include $34.4 billion in discretionary budget 
authority and $37.0 billion in discretionary outlays, as well 
as $1.9 billion in direct spending budget authority with $2.5 
billion in outlays. Spending through the 10-year budget window 
totals $406.0 billion in budget authority and $413.0 billion in 
outlays.

                       Agriculture: Function 350

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The Agriculture function helps provide for the continued 
success of American agriculture and the agricultural industry. 
This function includes only programs and policies concerned 
with agricultural production, including direct assistance and 
loans to farmers; export assistance; agricultural research; and 
marketing, information, and animal and plant health inspection 
services.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for $20.6 billion in 
budget authority and $20.6 billion in outlays in fiscal year 
2016. Discretionary budget authority in fiscal year 2016 totals 
$5.9 billion, with $5.9 billion in related outlays. Direct 
spending is $14.7 billion in budget authority and $14.7 billion 
in outlays. Over 10 years, budget authority totals $218.1 
billion, and outlays are $213.3 billion.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment recommends that a higher priority be 
given to competitive grant-based agricultural research. This 
type of research funding, in contrast to formula-based and 
other types, is most likely to spur agricultural productivity 
growth, which is important to enhancing the international 
competitiveness of U.S. agriculture over the longer term. Also, 
continued attention should be given to streamlining and, where 
possible, consolidating operations and activities across U.S. 
Department of Agriculture agencies, including in its large 
network of county field offices.
      The 2014 farm bill made a number of reforms to 
agricultural policies, most notably by eliminating direct 
payments, but significant declines in market prices over the 
past year are expected to result in increased levels of 
assistance under the farm bill's new price- and revenue-based 
programs. While it is important to continue to reform 
agricultural programs, weather and market challenges continue 
to highlight the importance of maintaining a safety net for 
farmers.
      In this function, the amendment provides $20.1 billion in 
budget authority and $21.2 billion in outlays for fiscal year 
2016. Discretionary budget authority in fiscal 2016 is $6.1 
billion; outlays are $6.0 billion. The direct spending share of 
the fiscal year 2016 function totals are $14.0 billion in 
budget authority and $15.2 billion in outlays. For the period 
of fiscal years 2016 through 2025, budget authority totals 
$204.5 billion and outlays are $201.9 billion.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement empowers the Committees on 
Agriculture in the House of Representatives and Senate to build 
on the reforms in the 2014 farm bill to ensure American 
agriculture remains a vital part of the Nation's economy while 
supporting rural economies in a fiscally responsible way. The 
agreement provides $19.1 billion in budget authority for fiscal 
year 2016 and $21.6 billion in outlays in this function. These 
amounts include $6.0 billion in discretionary budget authority 
and $5.9 billion in discretionary outlays, as well as direct 
spending amounts of $13.1 billion in budget authority and $15.6 
billion in outlays. Total spending over the next 10 years in 
this function equals $204.2 billion in budget authority and 
$201.1 billion in outlays.

               Commerce and Housing Credit: Function 370

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The Commerce and Housing Credit function includes 
mortgage credit, the U.S. Postal Service, deposit insurance, 
and most of the activities of the Departments of Commerce and 
Housing and Urban Development. Negative figures in this 
function mainly reflect the negative subsidy rates applied to 
certain loan and loan-guarantee programs scored under the 
guidelines of the Federal Credit Reform Act, such as the 
Federal Housing Administration [FHA] and the Government 
National Mortgage Association (commonly known as Ginnie Mae) 
programs.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for $1.9 billion in 
budget authority and -$11.7 billion in outlays in fiscal year

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment envisions a Federal system that 
supports commerce and housing and regulates in an efficient 
manner, providing sufficient oversight where necessary without 
wasting taxpayer monies or stifling free enterprise. The 
amendment calls for minimizing subsidies to commercial entities 
where possible and protecting taxpayers from the risk of future 
bailouts. Additionally, it envisions adjusting the budgets of 
Federal agencies to levels necessary to effectively and 
efficiently execute their missions, and creating a climate that 
supports rather than stifles commerce and free enterprise. The 
House amendment also recommends giving the Postal Service the 
flexibility that any business needs to respond to changing 
market conditions, including declining mail volume, which is 
down more than 25 percent since 2006.
      In this function, on a unified basis, the amendment 
provides -$6.8 billion in budget authority and -$20.1 billion 
in outlays for fiscal year 2016, of which -$13.1 billion is

billion, and outlays are $942.3 billion.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Rather than foster a system that drives up tuition and 
presents too many students with the difficult choice between 
crippling debt and stopping short of their highest educational 
attainment, the House amendment envisions a framework that uses 
Federal dollars more efficiently, accounts for student loans in 
a way that reflects their true cost, and invests in a 
sustainable higher education system. The amendment also views 
Federal support for K-12 education as just that: It should 
support, not seize control from, State and local entities. Real 
gains in education result from the diversity and creativity of 
State and local educators, and the trend toward centralizing 
rules and standards in Washington risks smothering 
effectiveness and innovation.
      Toward these ends, the amendment provides $80.6 billion 
in budget authority and $90.4 billion in outlays for fiscal 
year 2016. Of those amounts, $88.2 billion is discretionary 
budget authority, with $91.4 billion in associated outlays. 
Direct spending in fiscal 2016 totals -$7.6 billion in budget 
authority and -$967 million in outlays. (The negative figures 
result mainly from the methodology used to score direct student 
loans under the Federal Credit Reform Act.) Over 10 years, the 
House amendment provides $883.2 billion in total budget 
authority and $900.5 billion in outlays.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement supports reforms to the current 
educational system in order to give the Nation's students the 
opportunity for a better, more affordable education. In 
addition, it encourages the enactment of policies that better 
equip Americans of all ages to excel not only in school but 
also in the workforce. Function 500 totals amount to $83.3 
billion in budget authority and $93.3 billion in outlays in 
fiscal year 2016. Discretionary budget authority in fiscal year 
2016 totals $89.8 billion, with $93.8 billion in related 
outlays. Direct spending budget authority is -$6.5 billion in 
fiscal year 2016, with -$504 million in outlays. Over 10 years,

in full--its spending, taxes, regulations, and mandates--as a 
first step toward introducing real, patient-centered health 
care reform in America. The amendment contains a policy 
statement describing the contours of this strategy, emphasizing 
affordability, accessibility, quality, choices, innovation, 
responsiveness, and legal reforms. The amendment also supports 
major reforms to strengthen and secure Medicaid benefits, such 
as converting the Federal share of Medicaid into State 
Flexibility Funds that each State may tailor to its own needs. 
For fiscal year 2016, the amendment provides $416.5 billion in 
budget authority in Function 550, with $426.9 billion in

and Senate to continue to develop health care solutions that 
lower costs and improve access to care. It envisions Medicaid 
reform, based on a framework proposed by the chairmen of the

modernize and improve the program while increasing State 
flexibility and protecting the most vulnerable populations.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The amendment recognizes the imperative of saving, 
strengthening, and securing the future of Medicare. The current 
spending trajectory of Medicare will result in an inability to 
provide the promised benefits to America's seniors in the not-
so-distant future. The amendment pursues a responsible course 
to ensure the viability of the Medicare Program through a 
number of structural reforms, including transitioning to a 
premium support model bringing patient choices and helpful 
competition into the program, allowing for improvement in 
quality care, increasing accessibility and affordability, and a 
real check on wasteful practices. For fiscal year 2016, the 
function totals in the amendment are $577.7 billion in budget 
authority and $577.6 billion in outlays. The direct spending 
portion for fiscal 2016 totals $6.6 billion in budget authority

      The conference agreement supports the repeal of the 
President's health care law, including the repeal of the 
Medicare Independent Payment Advisory Board. The agreement 
proposes the same amount of Medicare savings reflected in the 
Senate-passed fiscal year 2016 budget as a target to extend the 
life of the Hospital Insurance trust fund and tasks the 
committees of jurisdiction in the House and Senate with 
determining the specific Medicare reforms needed to bring 
spending levels under current law in line with the budget. 
Finally, the conference agreement accounts for the full cost of 
H.R. 2, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of

welfare reforms of the 1990s by improving work requirements for 
means-tested programs to help more people escape poverty and 
move up the economic ladder. It focuses resources on programs 
that deliver real results, restraining spending to reasonable 
levels, reducing improper payments, and allowing States more 
ability to improve programs through policy innovation. For

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement assumes the enactment of 
proposals to reduce poverty and increase opportunity and upward 
mobility for struggling Americans on the road to personal and 
financial independence. Based on the successful welfare reforms 
of the 1990s, these proposals would improve work requirements 
and provide flexible funding for States to help those most in 
need find gainful employment, escape poverty, and move up the 
economic ladder. The agreement focuses resources on programs 
that deliver real results, reducing wasteful spending and 
empowering States to make key decisions and improve welfare 
programs through policy innovation. In fiscal year 2016, the

$523.6 billion in total outlays. Discretionary budget authority

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Absent structural reform, Social Security will fail to 
fulfill its promises to the Nation's retired and disabled 
persons--and that outcome will occur sooner than expected. With 
each year Congress delays, the policy changes needed to correct 
the program's fiscal trajectory will become larger and more 
wrenching to adopt, eventually leading to sudden, steep 
reductions in benefits. The House amendment calls for a 
bipartisan way forward, encouraging the President and Congress 
to begin the process of reforming Social Security. The budget 
provides $930.0 billion in unified Function 650 budget 
authority in fiscal year 2016, and $925.9 billion in outlays. 
The discretionary figures for fiscal 2016 are $5.0 billion in 
budget authority and $5.1 billion in outlays. Direct spending

billion in budget authority and $12,220.9 billion in outlays.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement presumes the President and 
Congress will work together on a bipartisan basis to preserve 
Social Security for current and future generations. It assumes 
enactment of legislation that will prevent the near-term 
insolvency of the Disability Insurance program; improve the 
administration and coordination of benefits; and increase 
employment opportunities for disabled workers. The agreement 
also assumes the President will submit legislation to Congress 
addressing the long-term insolvency both of the Old-Age and 
Survivors Insurance program and the Disability Insurance 
program. In fiscal year 2016, the agreement provides $928.9 
billion in total budget authority and $925.0 billion in total

$1,812.8 billion, and outlays are $1,815.7 billion.

                Administration of Justice: Function 750

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The Administration of Justice function includes programs 
to provide judicial services, police protection, law 
enforcement (including civil rights), rehabilitation and 
incarceration of criminals, and the general maintenance of 
domestic order.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for $52.5 billion in 
budget authority and $56.8 billion in outlays in fiscal year 
2016. Discretionary budget authority in fiscal year 2016 totals 
$51.3 billion, with $52.0 billion in related outlays. Direct 
spending is $1.2 billion in budget authority and $4.8 billion 
in outlays. Over 10 years, budget authority totals $618.2 
billion, and outlays are $621.3 billion.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      With the risk of terrorism, as well as a tidal wave of 
debt, the House amendment focuses Federal taxpayer money for 
the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security on 
administering justice, arresting and prosecuting terrorists, 
investigating crimes, and seeking punishment for those guilty 
of unlawful behavior. For fiscal year 2016, the House amendment 
provides $52.2 billion in total budget authority and $56.0 
billion in outlays, focused on core Federal Government 
responsibilities and reducing duplication, excess, and 
unnecessary spending. The discretionary totals--the majority of 
the function's spending--are $51.0 billion in budget authority 
and $51.3 billion in outlays; direct spending is $1.1 billion 
in budget authority and $4.7 billion in outlays. Over 10 years 
the amendment provides $602.1 billion and $606.3 billion in 
budget authority and outlays, respectively.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The vast majority of this category's funding is 
discretionary and used for Federal law-enforcement programs, 
litigation and judicial activities, correctional operations, 
and border security. A small amount of direct spending funds 
certain immigration activities, the Crime Victims Fund, the 
Assets Forfeiture Fund, and the Treasury Forfeiture Fund, among 
other purposes. Federal taxpayer money for the Departments of 
Justice and Homeland Security should be focused on core 
responsibilities, with priority given to those activities that 
are most essential to the Federal Government in this area. The 
conference agreement calls for $51.0 billion in budget 
authority and $56.5 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2016. 
Discretionary budget authority in fiscal year 2016 is $51.2 
billion, with outlays of $52.0 billion; direct spending is 
-$196 million in budget authority and $4.5 billion in outlays. 
Over 10 years, budget authority totals $609.2 billion, and 
outlays are $614.3 billion.

                    General Government: Function 800

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The General Government function includes the activities 
of the White House and the Executive Office of the President, 
legislative branch, and programs to carry out the 
administrative responsibilities of the Federal Government, 
including personnel management, fiscal operations, and property 
control.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for $23.8 billion in 
budget authority and $23.7 billion in outlays in fiscal year 
2016. Discretionary budget authority in fiscal year 2016 totals 
$17.2 billion, with $17.1 billion in related outlays. Direct 
spending is $6.6 billion in budget authority and $6.6 billion 
in outlays. Over 10 years, budget authority totals $266.3 
billion, and outlays are $263.2 billion.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment advances the idea that a government 
seeking greater efficiency in its programs should demand no 
less from its own operations. This should be achieved by 
eliminating waste across Federal Government branches and 
agencies wherever possible, in order to scale back government 
where it has expanded needlessly or beyond its proper role. The 
amendment provides $23.6 billion in budget authority and 
outlays for fiscal year 2016. The totals consist of $16.7 
billion in discretionary budget authority and outlays, and $6.9 
billion in direct spending budget authority and outlays. For 
fiscal years 2016 through 2025, the function totals are $244.2 
billion in budget authority and $244.7 billion in outlays.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement supports policies that reduce 
waste and streamline government operations across all Federal 
Government branches and agencies. Function 800 totals amount to 
$23.2 billion in budget authority and $23.0 billion in outlays 
in fiscal year 2016. Discretionary budget authority and outlays 
total $17.0 billion in fiscal year 2016. Direct spending budget 
authority is $6.2 billion in fiscal year 2016, with $6.0 
billion in outlays. Over 10 years, budget authority in totals 
$251.3 billion, and outlays are $248.5 billion.

                       Net Interest: Function 900

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The Net Interest function contains the interest paid to 
private and foreign government holders of U.S. Treasury 
securities. This function includes interest on the public debt 
less the interest received by the Federal Government from trust 
fund investments and loans to the public. It contains direct 
payments, with no discretionary components.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for $274.4 billion in 
budget authority and $274.4 billion in outlays, all of which 
are direct spending, in fiscal year 2016. Over 10 years, budget 
authority totals $4,788.1 billion, and outlays are $4,788.1 
billion. These figures reflect the combined on- and off-budget 
amounts associated with this function.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment calls for $274.3 billion of direct 
spending for net interest payments in fiscal year 2016. The 
proposed 10-year total for net interest payments is $4,748.9 
billion.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement calls for $275.3 billion of 
direct spending for net interest payments in fiscal year 2016. 
The proposed 10-year total for net interest payments is 
$4,757.1 billion. There are no budget policies for this 
function.

                        Allowances: Function 920

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The Allowances function displays the budgetary effects of 
proposals that cannot easily be distributed across other budget 
functions. It contains CBO's estimate of the budgetary effects 
of the Budget Control Act's automatic enforcement provisions 
for non-defense spending. Function 920 also contains 
government-wide savings. For example, this function includes 
CBO's estimate of the macroeconomic feedback effect resulting 
from the deficit-reduction path assumed in the budget 
resolution conference agreement.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for -$12.3 billion in 
budget authority and -$5.6 billion in outlays in fiscal year 
2016. Discretionary budget authority in fiscal year 2016 totals 
-$15.2 billion, with -$11.5 billion in related outlays. Direct 
spending is $2.8 billion in budget authority and $5.9 billion 
in outlays. Over 10 years, budget authority totals -$677.9 
billion, and outlays are -$630.7 billion.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment recommends no changes in this 
function, leaving it instead at the CBO baseline levels. The 
CBO baseline includes total savings of $33.5 billion in budget 
authority and $17.3 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2016, and 
$405.7 billion and $357.9 billion in reductions for budget 
authority and outlays over 10 years, respectively, to reflect 
the impact of the Budget Control Act [BCA] on non-defense and 
non-Medicare spending. The following two components are 
included in the baseline:
      1. A reduction of $383.4 billion in budget authority and 
$342.4 billion in outlays for non-defense activities, needed to 
comply with the discretionary spending caps set by section 101 
of the BCA;
      2. A $22.3 billion and $15.5 billion reduction in budget 
authority and outlays, respectively, to non-Medicare and non-
defense direct spending programs necessary to comply with the 
automatic-enforcement procedure (the direct spending sequester) 
mandated by the BCA.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement calls for $25.3 billion in 
budget authority and $45.5 billion in outlays in fiscal year 
2016. Discretionary budget authority in fiscal year 2016 totals 
-$5.4 billion, with $14.9 billion in related outlays. Direct 
spending budget authority and outlays each total $30.7 billion. 
Over 10 years, total budget authority is -$908.2 billion, and 
outlays are -$798.6 billion.

                 Government-Wide Savings: Function 930

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      This House category includes various policies that 
produce government-wide savings in multiple categories rather 
than in a single, specific budget function.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate resolution does not contain a Function 930.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The resolution calls for spending of $27.5 billion and 
$18.4 billion in budget authority and outlays, respectively, in 
fiscal year 2016. The 10-year totals for budget authority and 
outlay savings are -$496.9 billion and -$418.2 billion, 
respectively. (The figures appear in Function 930 in the 
summary tables.) As is true elsewhere, specific policies will 
be determined by the appropriate committees of jurisdiction.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement does not contain a Function 930.

            Undistributed Offsetting Receipts: Function 950

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      The Undistributed Offsetting Receipts function comprises 
major offsetting receipts items that would distort the funding 
levels of other functional categories if they were distributed 
to them.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      All funding in this function is direct spending. The 
Senate budget resolution calls for -$86.0 billion in budget 
authority and outlays in fiscal year 2016 (The minus sign 
indicates receipts flowing into the Treasury.). Over 10 years, 
budget authority totals -$1,102.6 billion, with -$1,102.8 
billion in outlays. These figures reflect the combined on- and 
off-budget amounts associated with this function.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment examines the management of Federal 
fleet vehicles, real-property, and lands among other assets in 
an effort to help taxpayers recoup billions of dollars devoted 
to unused government property. The House amendment calls for 
-$90.1 billion in budget authority and outlays in fiscal year 
2016, all of which is direct spending. Over 10 years, budget 
authority and outlays total -$1,154.6 billion.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement calls for -$99.2 billion in 
budget authority and outlays for fiscal year 2016. The negative 
figures reflect receipts flowing into the Treasury. Over 10 
years, budget authority and outlays each total -$1,292.4 
billion. These figures reflect the combined on- and off-budget 
amounts associated with this function.

 Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism: Function 970

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      This function includes funding for the prosecution of 
Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism and 
other closely related activities.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate resolution does not have a Function 970.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The amendment assumes $90.0 billion as a placeholder 
estimate of the budgetary resources necessary to fulfill the 
Department of Defense's war policy, with final decisions still 
pending assessment. Combined with the base resources for 
National Defense, the fiscal year 2016 budget provides more 
than $613 billion in total defense spending for the Global War 
on Terrorism. The House amendment provides for higher total 
defense resources than the President's request in fiscal year 
2016, the President's 5-year plan, and the President's 10-year 
levels.
      This function also estimates $6 billion in funding for 
the activities of civilian agencies--primarily the State 
Department and USAID--as part of the integrated civil-military 
strategy for securing American objectives in the frontline 
states.
      The House amendment provides $96.0 billion in budget 
authority and $45.4 billion in outlays for fiscal year 2016. 
The 10-year totals for budget authority and outlays are $229.3 
billion and $196.6 billion, respectively.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The agreement supports overseas contingency operations 
funding at a level appropriate to meet the challenges posed by 
an increasingly dangerous security environment, and reflects a 
realistic ramp-down path for this funding over the budget 
window. Funding in this function will provide support for 
military and diplomatic operations to counter the danger from 
growing global instability and threats posed by those who 
challenge U.S. security interests at home and abroad. The 
agreement sets the overall allocation for overseas contingency 
operations funding. The committees of jurisdiction will 
determine the specific policies.
      The conference agreement calls for $96.3 billion in 
budget authority and $48.8 billion in outlays in fiscal year 
2016. There is no direct spending in this function. Over 10 
years, budget authority totals $378.2 billion, and outlays are 
$373.8 billion.

               Across-the-Board Adjustment: Function 990

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      This House function reflects the impact of an across-the-
board rescission affecting the Department of Homeland Security 
that was included in the Consolidated and Further Continuing 
Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113-235).

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate resolution does not contain a Function 990.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The CBO baseline for Function 990 includes reductions of 
$241 million in budget authority and $226 million in outlays 
over 10 years. The resolution recommends retaining the baseline 
levels.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement does not contain a separate 
Function 990.

                                Revenues

                            FUNCTION SUMMARY

      Federal revenues are comprised of taxes and other 
collections from the public that result from the Government's 
sovereign powers to impose levies under Article I, section 8, 
clause I of the U.S. Constitution. Federal revenues include 
individual and corporate incomes taxes, social insurance taxes, 
excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, customs duties, and 
miscellaneous receipts.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate budget resolution calls for $3,459.5 billion 
in revenues in fiscal year 2016 ($2,666.8 billion on-budget, 
$792.8 billion off-budget) and $41,669.7 billion over 10 years 
($32,170.6 billion on-budget, $9,499.1 billion off-budget).

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The U.S. tax code is notoriously complex, patently 
unfair, and highly inefficient. Its complexity distorts 
decisions to work, save, and invest, which leads to slower 
economic growth, lower wages, and less job creation. The House 
amendment proposes to correct the notorious complexity, 
unfairness, and inefficiency of U.S. taxes by calling for a 
reformed tax code that is simpler and fairer and promotes 
growth. A revamped tax code could raise just as much revenue as 
the system in place today, but without the harmful tax policies 
embedded in current law, such as the Affordable Care Act. A 
restructured and more efficient tax code with a broader tax 
base and lower tax rates also would spark greater economic 
growth and create more jobs.
      The amendment's revenue projections--$3.459.5 billion in 
fiscal year 2016 and $41.669.7 billion through fiscal year 
2025--are built on such a tax reform model.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The U.S. tax code is overly complicated, inefficient, and 
archaic. The current structure hurts economic growth, 
frustrates working Americans, and pushes American businesses 
overseas. The conference agreement assumes that the tax-writing 
committees will adopt a tax reform proposal that reduces 
marginal rates but broadens the tax base to create a fair, 
efficient, competitive, and pro-growth tax regime that is 
revenue neutral. Any revenue-neutral tax reform would include a 
repeal of the harmful tax increases in the President's health 
care law.
      The conference agreement calls for revenues of $3,470.7 
billion in fiscal year 2016 ($2,676.7 billion on-budget, $794.0 
billion off-budget) and $41,750.5 billion over 10 years 
($32,237.4 billion on-budget, $9,513.1 billion off-budget). The 
difference between the conference agreement revenues and those 
of the Senate resolution and House amendment is due to CBO's 
March reestimate at projected revenues. The conference 
agreement contains no tax increases.
                 RECONCILIATION AND REPORT SUBMISSIONS

      The budget resolution conference agreement provides a 
path for the committees of jurisdiction in the House and Senate 
through reconciliation to repeal the Affordable Care Act with 
its burdensome mandates and restrictions, a first step toward 
introducing real, patient-centered health care reform.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 201 of the Senate resolution instructs the 
Finance Committee and the Committee on Health, Education, 
Labor, and Pensions each to report, by July 31, 2015, changes 
in laws within their jurisdictions to reduce the deficit by no 
less than $1 billion over the 10-year period of fiscal years 
2016 through 2025.
      Section 202 of the resolution prohibits a reconciliation 
bill reported under section 201 from including a provision that 
would increase the statutory debt limit. The prohibition is 
enforced with a point of order that, if raised, would require 
an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Senate to waive.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 201 of the House amendment instructs 13 
authorizing committees to achieve specified amounts of deficit 
reduction by a deadline of July 15, 2015.
      While the amendment instruction provides flexibility as 
to how the authorizing committees may achieve these savings, it 
assumes savings will be achieved through reductions in direct 
spending. The amounts reconciled are intended to serve as a 
floor on required savings, not a ceiling. The targets are for 
the total of the 10-year period of fiscal years 2016 through 
2025. These targets will provide the committees maximum 
flexibility in their savings while ensuring the budget is 
balanced within the 10-year window.
      Each reconciled authorizing committee is directed to mark 
up legislation meeting its reconciliation target and submit 
legislation to the Committee of the Budget, consistent with 
section 310 of the Budget Act, instead of reporting it directly 
to the House. Other than submitting legislation to the 
Committee on the Budget, committees are expected to follow 
regular order in complying with House and Committee rules 
related to markup procedures and reporting requirements. The 
Committee on the Budget will then combine all submissions and 
report the legislation, without substantive revision, to the 
House.
      Section 202 of the House amendment authorizes the Chair 
of the Committee on the Budget to: (1) use the baseline 
underlying the Congressional Budget Office's [CBO's] Budget and 
Economic Outlook: 2015 to 2025 (January 2015) when making 
estimates of any bill or joint resolution, or any amendment 
thereto or conference report thereon and (2) determine whether 
to use any adjustments to the baseline, if made subsequent to 
the adoption of this concurrent resolution, when making such 
estimates. When making such estimates and determining 
compliance of measures, the Chair of the Committee on the 
Budget should only exercise this authority if such estimates 
are inaccurate because the adjustments made to the baseline are 
inconsistent with the assumptions underlying the budgetary 
levels set forth in this concurrent resolution. Inaccurate 
adjustments may include selected adjustments for rulemaking, 
judicial actions, adjudication, and interpretative rules that 
have major budgetary effects and are inconsistent with the 
assumptions underlying the budgetary levels set forth in this 
concurrent resolution. CBO shall, upon the request of the Chair 
of the Committee on the Budget, prepare an estimate based on 
the baseline determination made by such Chair.
      Section 202 also stipulates that the authorizing 
committees instructed to submit reconciliation legislation 
pursuant to this concurrent resolution shall, in preparing 
submissions, note and determine the most effective methods by 
which the President's health care law shall be repealed.
      Additionally, section 202 authorizes the Chair of the 
Committee on the Budget to file with the House appropriately 
revised allocations under section 302(a) of the Budget Act and 
revised functional levels and aggregates upon: (1) an 
authorizing committee's submission to the Committee on the 
Budget of legislation complying with its reconciliation 
instructions pursuant to section 310(b) of the Budget Act and 
(2) the submission of a conference report to the House. Section 
202 further stipulates that these revised aggregates and 
allocations shall be considered to be the allocations and 
aggregates established by the concurrent resolution on the 
budget pursuant to section 310 of the Budget Act.
      Section 203 of the House amendment authorizes the Chair 
of the Committee on the Budget to submit additional information 
to help guide the authorizing committees, including suggested 
increases in the amount of deficit reduction reconciled to each 
authorizing committee.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The conference agreement affirms the use of 
reconciliation for the sole purpose of repealing the 
President's job-killing health care law by instructing only 
those committees with jurisdiction over the health-care-related 
provisions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 
2010 (Public Law 111-148) and the Health Care and Education 
Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-152). Specifically, 
the Senate Committees on Finance and Health, Education, Labor, 
and Pensions, and the House Committees on Ways and Means, 
Education and the Workforce, and Energy and Commerce all 
received instructions to report changes in laws within their 
jurisdictions to reduce the deficit by no less than $1 billion 
over the 10-year period of fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
      The instructions for Senate committees are as follows:

                         [Fiscal years 2016-25]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Committee                    10-Year deficit reduction
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finance...................................                $1,000,000,000
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions....                $1,000,000,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Senate retains the Senate-only rule against a 
reconciliation measure that increases the public debt limit. 
The provision applies to reconciliation bills pursuant to this 
concurrent resolution, and any amendment, amendments between 
the Houses, and conference report thereon. The rule may only be 
waived by two-thirds of the Senate.
      The instructions for the House are as follows:

                         [Fiscal years 2016-25]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Committee                    10-Year deficit reduction
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Education and the Workforce...............                $1,000,000,000
Energy and Commerce.......................                $1,000,000,000
Ways and Means............................                $1,000,000,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Reconciled committees in the Senate and the House of 
Representatives are instructed to submit their recommendations 
to their respective Budget Committees no later than July 24, 
2015.
      The House retains the House-passed provision clarifying 
that in the House, for purposes of budget enforcement, the 
Chairman shall use the baseline underlying the March 2015 
update to CBO's Budget and Economic Outlook: 2015 to 2025. It 
further grants the Chairman of the Budget Committee the 
authority to determine whether to reflect CBO's ad hoc 
adjustments to the baseline subsequent to the adoption of this 
concurrent resolution.
      While committees determine the policies used to meet 
their reconciliation targets, the conference report retains the 
House position that the committees take note of the policy 
statement in the conference report relating to the repeal of 
the President's health care law.
      The conference report provides authority to the Chairman 
of the Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives 
to make adjustments in this concurrent resolution for 
committees that submit reconciliation recommendations and meet 
their respective reconciliation targets.
                           BUDGET ENFORCEMENT


             Subtitle A--Budget Enforcement in Both Houses


Point of Order against Legislation Increasing Long-Term Deficits or 
        Direct Spending

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 402 of the Senate resolution extends the current 
Senate point of order prohibiting the consideration of 
legislation that would increase the on-budget deficit by more 
than $5 billion in any of the 4 consecutive 10-year periods 
beginning after the last year covered in the most recently 
agreed to budget resolution. The prohibition is enforced with a 
point of order that, if raised, could be waived with the 
affirmative vote of three-fifths of Members, duly chosen and 
sworn. Paragraph (d) provides an exception for any legislation 
considered under the reserve fund in section 303(1)--repeal of 
the President's health care law.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 407 of the House amendment prohibits the 
consideration of any measure reported by an authorizing 
committee that increases direct spending by $5 billion over the 
long-term. The prohibition is enforced with a point of order. 
Subsection (b) states the applicable periods for this section 
are any of the 4 consecutive 10 fiscal year periods beginning 
in fiscal year 2026.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3101 of the conference agreement extends the 
Senate-passed provision to the House and includes an exception 
in paragraph (d) for reserve funds in sections 4303(1), 4501, 
4502, and 4503 of the conference agreement relating to repeal 
of the President's health care law. In the House the point of 
order lies against the bill increasing direct spending over the 
period.

Allocation for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 409 of the Senate resolution establishes a 
mechanism allowing the Senate to review the designation for 
overseas contingency operations [OCO] in fiscal years 2016 and 
2017. Designations that would cause the total amount of OCO 
spending in those years to exceed $58 billion and $59.5 
billion, respectively, would be subject to a point of order, 
which--if raised--would require 60 votes to waive. If 
sustained, the offending provision of budget authority would be 
stricken from the text, but the rest of the measure would 
remain standing.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Subsection 408(a) of the House amendment provides the 
Committee on Appropriations with two separate OCO/GWOT 
allocations for the purposes of Overseas Contingency 
Operations/Global War on Terrorism under section 302(a) of the 
Budget Act, which are included in this report in the allocation 
tables.
      Subsection (b) stipulates that, for purposes of enforcing 
the point of order under section 302(f) of the Budget Act, the 
``first fiscal year'' and the ``total of fiscal years'' refer 
to fiscal year 2016 only. This separate allocation is the 
exclusive allocation for OCO/GWOT under section 302(a) of the 
Budget Act. It also stipulates that section 302(c) of the 
Budget Act does not apply to this separate allocation. 
Subsection (c) stipulates that new budget authority or outlays 
counting toward the allocation established by subsection (a) 
shall be designated pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the 
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
      Subsection (d) prohibits any adjustment under section 
314(a) of the Budget Act if an adjustment would be made under 
section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of BBEDCA for fiscal year 2016.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3102 of the conference agreement adopts an 
approach to Overseas Contingency Operations [OCO] funding 
similar to the House amendment. A separate 302(a) allocation is 
provided to each of the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations for the OCO/Global War on Terrorism. Any 
appropriation designated for OCO under Section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) 
of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 
1985 would be scored against the 302(a) allocation to the 
Committees on Appropriations. The OCO allocation may be 
subdivided into 302(b) sub-allocations and is enforceable under 
section 302(f) on the Congressional Budget Act.

Point of Order against Certain Changes in Mandatory Programs

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 406 of the Senate resolution phases out the use 
of certain ``CHIMPs'' (changes in mandatory programs) in 
appropriation bills that reduce budget authority but do not 
result in any net outlay savings. For fiscal year 2016, the 
limit on this type of CHIMP is $19 billion, the amount 
contained in fiscal year 2015 appropriations measures. 
Thereafter, the limit is reduced by 20 percent per year until 
fiscal year 2021, when CHIMPs that fail to reduce net outlays 
are no longer to be permitted in appropriation measures. The 
limit is enforced with a point of order that, if raised, would 
require the affirmative vote of three-fifths of Members, duly 
chosen and sworn.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not contain any provisions 
relating to CHIMPs.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3103 of the conference agreement gradually 
reduces the amount of certain changes in mandatory programs 
[CHIMPs] permitted in appropriations bills from a total of 
$19.1 billion in fiscal year 2016 to $15 billion in fiscal year 
2019. This reduction would apply only to those CHIMPs that (a) 
would have been classified as affecting direct spending or 
receipts under section 252 of BBEDCA (as in effect prior to 
September 30, 2002) if the provision was included in 
legislation other than an appropriations bill or joint 
resolution, and (b) reduce budget authority but do not result 
in any net outlay savings over the 10-year budget enforcement 
window. The reduction in this type of CHIMP is enforced in the 
Senate with a point of order prohibiting consideration of a 
bill or joint resolution making appropriations for a full 
fiscal year, (or an amendment thereto or conference report 
thereon that would cause the total amount of this type of CHIMP 
enacted in a fiscal year to exceed a specific amount:
      Fiscal year 2016  $19,100,000,000
      Fiscal year 2017  $19,100,000,000
      Fiscal year 2018  $17,000,000,000
      Fiscal year 2019  $15,000,000,000
      The Senate point of order, if raised, would require the 
affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen 
and sworn, to waive. In the House the point of order lies 
against the individual provision except for an amendment or 
conference report in which case it lies against the entire 
amendment or conference report. For purposes of this section, 
the total budget authority of CHIMPs shall be determined on the 
basis of estimates provided by the Chairman of the Committee on 
the Budget of the applicable House of Congress.

Point of Order against Provisions that Constitute Changes in Mandatory 
        Programs Affecting the Crime Victims Fund

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 410 of the Senate resolution prohibits Senate 
consideration of any measure that includes CHIMPs that affect 
the Crime Victims Fund [CVF]. The prohibition would be enforced 
with a point of order that, if raised, would require the 
affirmative vote of three-fifth of Members, duly chose and 
sworn, to waive. If sustained, the offending provision(s) would 
be stricken, but the rest of the measure would remain standing.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not contain any provisions 
relating to CHIMPs affecting the Crime Victims Fund.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3104 of the conference agreement limits the use 
of CHIMPs that affect the CVF to $10.8 billion in fiscal year 
2016. This rule only applies to appropriations measures that 
provide full-year funding for a fiscal year. The reduction in 
the CVF CHIMP is enforced with a ``surgical strike'' point of 
order. If a point of order is raised and sustained against a 
provision containing a CHIMP affecting the CVF that would cause 
the total value of all such CHIMPS enacted in relation to a 
fiscal year to exceed the limit, the provision would be 
stricken from the measure, but the rest of the bill would 
remain standing. In the House, in the case of an amendment or 
conference report, the point of order would lie against the 
entire measure.
      For purposes of this section, the absolute of the total 
budget authority of CHIMPs shall be determined on the basis of 
estimates provided by the Chairman of the Committee on the 
Budget of the applicable House of Congress.
      Section 3104 of the conference agreement also directs the 
Committees on the Budget and Committees on Appropriations of 
the House and Senate to work with other committees of 
jurisdiction to review the enforcement procedures for CHIMPs in 
appropriations bills--especially those affecting the CVF--and 
to make a joint recommendation that can be included in 
subsequent concurrent resolutions on the budget.
Fair-Value Credit Estimates

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      For legislation affecting Federal direct loan and loan-
guarantee programs, section 412 of the Senate resolution 
directs CBO to provide in its cost estimates an assessment 
using fair-value--alongside those estimates prepared under the 
Federal Credit Reform Act. In the Senate, cost estimates 
prepared using fair-value would be provided for informational 
purposes only.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Subsection 406(a) of the House amendment requires, upon 
the request of the Chairman or Ranking Member of the Committee 
on the Budget, that CBO estimates for any measure under the 
terms of Title V of the Budget Act to include an estimate of 
the current actual or estimated market values representing the 
``fair value'' of assets and liabilities affected by such 
measure.
      Subsection (b) requires that, whenever CBO prepares an 
estimate of the cost of legislation with a cost related to 
housing, residential mortgage, or student loan programs, under 
the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, the estimate include an 
estimate of the ``fair value'' of the assets and liabilities 
affected.
      Subsection (c) permits the Chair of the Committee on the 
Budget to use these supplemental estimates to determine whether 
legislation is within the levels of the budget resolution and 
complies with other budgetary controls.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3105 of the conference agreement adopts an 
approach to fair-value estimates similar to the House 
amendment. At the request of the Chairman of the Budget 
Committee of the applicable House, CBO shall prepare, when 
practicable, a fair-value estimate of measures providing or 
modifying loan and loan guarantee programs scored under the 
Federal Credit Reform Act. Under this section, CBO is required 
to provide these fair-value estimates for housing, residential 
mortgage, and student loan programs. This scoring rule applies 
to bills, joint resolutions, motions, amendments, amendments 
between the Houses, and conference reports. Section 3105(c) 
authorizes the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the 
House of Representatives to use these supplemental estimates 
for the purposes of determining budget-related points of order. 
In the Senate, any fair-value estimates produced under this 
section may be used for informational purposes only.
Scoring Rule for Currency Modernization

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 414 of the Senate resolution requires CBO to 
estimate the cost of transitioning from the dollar bill to the 
dollar coin using net present value and to incorporate the 
behavioral effects of that transition in its estimate.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not contain any provisions 
relating to currency modernization.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      In section 3106 of the conference agreement, the House 
joins the Senate in adopting the Senate-passed scoring rule 
relating to currency modernization.
Long-Term Scoring of Changes in Spending Limits and Extension of 
        Highway Programs

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 416 of the Senate resolution directs CBO to 
provide long-term cost estimates for: (1) legislation that 
would increase the statutory discretionary spending limits, and 
(2) legislation that would transfer amounts from the General 
Fund of the Treasury to the Highway Trust Fund. Under this 
rule, CBO would provide estimates of the increased spending--
and the offsets--for the scoring window (fiscal years 2016 
through 2025) as well as the 20 years beyond (fiscal years 2026 
through 2045).

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not contain any provisions 
relating to long-term scoring of changes in spending limits and 
extension of highway programs.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      In section 3107 of the conference agreement, the House 
joins the Senate in adopting the Senate-passed rule.
Requiring Clearer Reporting of Projected Federal Spending and Deficits

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 417 of the Senate resolution requires CBO to 
provide 30-year projections of three key budget aggregates--
revenues, outlays, and deficits--in current dollars and as a 
percent of GDP when CBO publishes its annual Budget and 
Economic Outlook.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not contain any provisions 
relating to clearer reporting of projected Federal spending and 
deficits.

      In section 3108 of the conference agreement, the House 
joins the Senate in adopting the reporting requirement.
Congressional Budget Office Estimates of Measures with Significant 
        Outlay Effects

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 419 of the Senate resolution requires CBO to 
provide outyear estimates of legislation that would (1) 
increase or decrease outlays by more than 0.25 percent of GDP 
over the 10-year period of the enforcement window, or (2) that 
would have the same significant impact on outlays, but in the 
10th year alone. In the event that the budgetary effects of a 
measure are not sufficient to automatically trigger the outyear 
cost estimates, the Chairman of the Budget Committee has the 
authority to request an estimate.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not contain any provisions 
relating to CBO estimates of measures with significant outlay 
effects.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      In section 3109 of the conference agreement, the House 
joins the Senate-passed rule regarding supplemental estimates.
Prohibiting the Use of Guarantee Fees as an Offset

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 421 of the Senate resolution prohibits 
consideration of legislation that increases or extends an 
increase of any guarantee fees of the Federal National Mortgage 
Association [FNMA] and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage 
Corporation [FHLMC]. Guarantee fees are collected to offset 
prospective FNMA and FHLMC credit losses, and using these fees 
as an offset merely double-counts the funds collected.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not contain any provisions 
relating to CBO estimates of measures with significant outlay 
effects.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      In section 3110 of the conference agreement, the House 
joins the Senate rule prohibiting the use of guarantee fees as 
an offset.
Information for Congress and the Public about Projected Federal 
        Outlays, Revenues, and Deficits

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 423 of the Senate resolution directs CBO to 
produce a one-page executive summary of its annual Budget and 
Economic Outlook that includes current-year and future-year 
projections of key budget aggregates (total outlays, tax 
expenditures, receipts, surpluses/deficits) and categories of 
spending (total mandatory spending and total discretionary 
spending; Social Security outlays, revenues, and surpluses/
deficits; and Medicare outlays, revenues, and surpluses/
deficits.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not contain any provisions 
relating to information for Congress and the public about 
projected Federal outlays, revenue and deficits.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      In section 3111 of the conference agreement, the House 
joins the Senate rule directing CBO to provide additional 
information in its annual Budget and Economic Outlook report to 
Congress.
Honest Accounting: Cost Estimates for Major Legislation to Incorporate 
        Macroeconomic Effects

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 413 of the Senate resolution directs the Joint 
Committee on Taxation and CBO to produce, alongside CBO's 
conventional estimates, cost estimates that incorporate the 
macroeconomic effects of major policy changes. These estimates 
would be provided for informational purposes only.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Sections 401(a) and (b) of the House amendment directs 
CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation, as applicable, to 
incorporate in the cost estimates for major legislation, to the 
extent practicable, the macroeconomic effects of such 
legislation during fiscal year 2016.
      Subsection (c) stipulates that the macroeconomic 
estimates include, to the extent practicable, a qualitative 
assessment of the budgetary effects (including the variables 
referred to above) of major legislation in the 20-fiscal-year 
period beginning after the last fiscal year of the most 
recently agreed-to budget resolution and an identification of 
the assumptions and source data underlying the estimate.
      Subsection (d) defines major legislation to include 
legislation that causes a gross budgetary effect in any fiscal 
year covered by the budget resolution equal to or greater than 
0.25 percent of the current projected GDP of the United States 
for that fiscal year. Under this subsection, the Chairman of 
the Committee on the Budget of the House or Senate and the 
Chair of the Joint Committee on Taxation, as applicable, may 
designate bills providing direct spending as major legislation 
for which estimates would incorporate macroeconomic effects.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3112 of the conference agreement directs the 
Joint Committee on Taxation and CBO to produce, alongside CBO's 
conventional estimates, cost estimates that incorporate the 
macroeconomic effects of major policy changes. Subsection (c) 
defines major legislation as a bill, resolution, conference 
report, or treaty causing an increase or decrease in revenues, 
direct spending, or deficits in any fiscal year covered by the 
budget resolution equal to or greater than 0.25 percent of the 
projected GDP for that year or equal to or greater than $15 
billion for that year for treaties. In applying these 
thresholds, CBO and JCT are required to look at the gross 
budgetary effects of the legislation before incorporating 
macroeconomic effects and not including timing shifts.
      In carrying out this requirement, the managers intend 
that CBO and JCT review provisions that have a significant 
budgetary effect. Thus, the test is whether the absolute value 
of the effect of any provision in the legislation has a 
budgetary effect larger than the threshold, or if the sum of 
the absolute values of the effects of the provisions on 
revenues and on direct spending exceeds the threshold, rather 
than whether the legislation taken as a whole equals or exceeds 
such threshold values when all of the conventionally estimated 
costs of the provisions are netted out.
      In the Senate, these estimates would be provided for 
informational purposes only. In the House, the Chair of the 
Committee on the Budget shall exercise the authority granted 
under subsection (c)(1)(B)(ii), in collaboration with the 
appropriate Chair or Vice Chair of the Joint Committee on 
Taxation, to designate a revenue measure as major legislation.

              Subtitle B--Budget Enforcement in the Senate

Extension of Enforcement of Budgetary Points of Order in the Senate

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 401(a) of the Senate resolution extends several 
supermajority points of order created in the Congressional 
Budget Act. These provisions will expire at the end of fiscal 
year 2016. Subsection (b) repeals the sunset of the Senate Pay-
As-You-Go point of order established in section 201 S. Con. 
Res. 21 (110th Congress), the fiscal year 2008 concurrent 
resolution on the budget. Subsection (c) repeals the sunset of 
the short-term deficits point of order established in section 
404 of S. Con. Res. 13 (111th Congress), the fiscal year 2010 
concurrent resolution on the budget.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House-passed resolution does not contain a comparable 
provision on Senate enforcement of supermajority points of 
order.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3201 of the conference agreement adopts the 
Senate language as a Senate-only provision.
Point of Order against Advance Appropriations

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      As in past years, section 403 of the Senate resolution 
provides a supermajority point of order in the Senate against 
appropriations in fiscal year 2016 bills that would become 
effective in any year after fiscal year 2016, and against 
appropriation bills in fiscal year 2017 that would first become 
available in any year after fiscal year 2017. It does not apply 
to appropriations for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting 
or Department of Veterans Affairs for the Medical Services, 
Medical Support and Compliance, and Medical Facilities accounts 
of the Veterans Health Administration. It provides an exemption 
up to $28.852 billion (the same level as provided for fiscal 
years 2014 and 2015 in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, P.L. 
113-67) for accounts identified in the joint explanatory 
statement of managers.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 405 of the House amendment provides a limit on 
appropriations that would become effective in fiscal year 2017. 
Subsection (a) prohibits the consideration of any general or 
continuing appropriations measure from making advance 
appropriations unless the appropriation is included in a list 
of exceptions.
      Subsection (b) specifies the list of excluded accounts, 
which may receive advance appropriations, are referred to in 
this report or joint explanatory statement, as applicable, in 
the section designated as ``Accounts Identified for Advance 
Appropriations.''
      Subsection (c) sets an overall limit for allowable 
advance appropriations for fiscal year 2017. It permits advance 
appropriations of up to $63.271 billion for fiscal year 2017 
for the veterans accounts referenced in subsection (b) and 
referred to in this report. It also allows up to $28.852 
billion in advance appropriations for other accounts referenced 
in subsection (b) and referred to in this report.
      Subsection (d) defines an advance appropriation as any 
new discretionary budget authority provided in a bill, joint 
resolution, amendment, or conference report making general or 
continuing appropriations for a fiscal year following fiscal 
year 2016.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Under the conference agreement, the Senate (in section 
3202) and the House (in section 3304) retain their respective 
limits on advance appropriations.

Supermajority Enforcement of Unfunded Mandates

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 425(a) of the Congressional Budget Act prohibits 
the consideration of legislation in the Senate that would 
impose unfunded Federal mandates on State and local governments 
above a certain limit, enforced with a point of order. Section 
404 of the Senate resolution increases the vote threshold 
needed to waive that point of order from a simple majority to 
three-fifths of Members, duly chosen and sworn.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not contain a comparable 
provision relating to unfunded mandates.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3203 of the conference agreement adopts the 
Senate language relating to unfunded mandates as a Senate-only 
provision.
Point of Order against Certain Reconciliation Legislation

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 405 of the Senate resolution restores the equal 
treatment of all reconciliation bills consistent with budget 
law prior to 2008 by repealing the point of order prohibiting 
consideration of reconciliation bills that increase the deficit 
found in section 202(a) of S. Con. Res. 21, the fiscal year 
2008 budget resolution.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 410(a)(3) of the House amendment would--for 
purposes of a reconciliation bill reported pursuant to this 
concurrent resolution on the budget--temporarily suspend the 
application of the point of order prohibiting consideration of 
reconciliation bills that increase the deficit, found in 
section 202(a) of S. Con. Res. 21, the fiscal year 2008 budget 
resolution.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3204 of the conference agreement adopts the 
Senate language relating to the point of order against certain 
reconciliation bills.
Prohibition on Agreeing to Legislation without a Score

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 407 of the Senate resolution prohibits a vote on 
passage of a bill or resolution unless the CBO cost estimate 
required for that measure (pursuant to section 402 of the 
Congressional Budget Act) is available on CBO's website at 
least 28 hours before a vote on final passage. The prohibition 
is enforced with point of order that, if raised, would require 
the affirmative vote of three-fifths of Members, duly chosen 
and sworn, to waive.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not contain a comparable 
provision relating to agreeing to legislation without a score.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3205 of the conference agreement adopts the 
Senate language relating to agreeing to legislation without a 
score as a Senate-only provision.
Protecting the Savings in Reported Reconciliation Bills

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      In the House, amendments to a reconciliation bill must be 
deficit-neutral with respect to the reported savings in the 
bill, not the instructed savings in the affiliated budget 
resolution. The House rule ensures that if a reconciliation 
bill exceeds its fiscal target, those ``extra'' savings will be 
used for deficit reduction, not to increase spending. Section 
408 of the Senate resolution applies the House rule in the 
Senate.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House does not have a comparable provision relating 
to the reported savings in a reconciliation bill (the rule 
already applies in the House).

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3206 of the conference agreement adopts the 
Senate language relating to the reported savings in a 
reconciliation bill as a Senate-only provision.
Scoring Rule for Certain Energy Contracts

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 415 of the Senate resolution directs CBO to score 
energy savings performance contracts using net present value--a 
method that more accurately represents the economic value of 
these transactions.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not have a comparable provision 
relating to scoring energy savings performance contracts.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3207 of the conference agreement adopts the 
Senate language on energy savings performance contracts as a 
Senate-only provision.
      In section 3305 of the conference agreement, the House 
agrees to assess the implementation of section 3207 through a 
collaborative assessment, in conjunction with the Senate and 
CBO, of the appropriate scorekeeping methodology for evaluating 
the budgetary effects of this type of energy contract.
Adjustment for Wildfire Suppression Funding

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      If a bill becomes law that provides a new discretionary 
spending cap adjustment for wildfire suppression, section 424 
of the Senate resolution gives the Senate Budget Committee 
Chairman the authority to adjust the 302(a) allocation to the 
Appropriations Committee accordingly.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      The House amendment does not have a comparable provision 
relating to wildfire suppression funding.

                         CONFERENCE AGREEEMENT

      Section 3208 of the conference agreement adopts the 
Senate language as a Senate-only provision.

                 Subtitle C--Budget Enforcement in the
                        House of Representatives

Limitation on Measures Affecting Social Security Solvency

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The Senate resolution does not have a comparable 
provision relating to Social Security (a Senate point of order 
already exists in section 311(a)(3) of the Congressional Budget 
Act).

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Subsection 402(a) prohibits, during fiscal year 2016, 
consideration in the House of Representatives or the Senate of 
any legislation that reduces the actuarial balance of the 
Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance [OASI] Trust Fund by at 
least .01 percent of the present value of future taxable 
payroll for the 75-year period included in the most recent 
annual report of the board of trustees.
      Subsection (b) provides an exception if such legislation 
would improve the actuarial balance of the combined balance in 
the OASI Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust 
Fund for the 75-year period utilized in the most recent annual 
report of the board of trustees.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      The House point of order is not germane to a budget 
resolution in the Senate. Section 3301 of the conference 
agreement adopts the language of the House amendment as a 
House-only provision.
Limitation on Transfers from the General Fund to the Highway Trust Fund

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      The reserve fund in section 309 of the Senate resolution 
allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget in the 
Senate to revise the allocations of one or more committees, the 
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution for 
one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments 
between Houses, or motions relating to Federal investment in 
the infrastructure of the United States, provided that such 
legislation shall not include transfers from other trust funds 
but may include transfers from the general fund that are 
offset, provided further that such legislation would not 
increase the deficit either over the period of the total of the 
fiscal years 2016 through 2020, or the period of the total of 
the fiscal years 2016 through 2025.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 404 of the House amendment stipulates that, for 
purposes of budget enforcement, transfers of funds from the 
general fund of the Treasury to the Highway Trust Fund shall be 
counted as new budget authority and outlays equal to the amount 
of the transfer in the fiscal year in which the transfer 
occurs.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Under the conference agreement, the Senate (in section 
4309) and the House (in section 3302) retain their respective 
language on general fund transfers to the Highway Trust Fund.

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

provision relating to the improved control of budgetary 
resources.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Subsection 409(a) of the House amendment authorizes the 
chairman of the Budget Committee to reduce a committee's 
allocation (other than the Committee on Appropriations) and 
increase the Committee on Appropriations allocation of 
discretionary spending for fiscal year 2016 if a committee 
(other than Appropriations) reports legislation that decreases 
direct spending in any fiscal year and authorizes 
appropriations for the same purpose. Subsection (b) provides 
the Chair of the Committee on the Budget with the authority to 
determine and adjust, as applicable, the budgetary levels of 
this concurrent resolution on the budget.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3303 of the conference agreement adopts the House 
amendment language as a House-only provision.
Point of Order against Advance Appropriations

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      As in past years, section 403 of the Senate resolution 
provides a supermajority point of order in the Senate against 
appropriations in fiscal year 2016 bills that would become 
effective in any year after fiscal year 2016, and against 
appropriation bills in fiscal year 2017 that would first become 
available in any year after fiscal year 2017. It does not apply 
to appropriations for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting 
or Department of Veterans Affairs for the Medical Services, 
Medical Support and Compliance, and Medical Facilities accounts 
of the Veterans Health Administration. It provides an exemption 
up to $28.852 billion (the same level as provided for fiscal 
years 2014 and 2015 in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, P.L. 
113-67) for accounts identified in the joint explanatory 
statement of managers.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 405 of the House amendment provides a limit on 
appropriations that would become effective in fiscal year 2017. 
Subsection (a) prohibits the consideration of any general or 
continuing appropriations measure from making advance 
appropriations unless the appropriation is included in a list 
of exceptions.
      Subsection (b) specifies the list of excluded accounts, 
which may receive advance appropriations, are referred to in 
this report or joint explanatory statement, as applicable, in 
the section designated as ``Accounts Identified for Advance 
Appropriations.''
      Subsection (c) sets an overall limit for allowable 
advance appropriations for fiscal year 2017. It permits advance 
appropriations of up to $63.271 billion for fiscal year 2017 
for the veterans accounts referenced in subsection (b) and 
referred to in this report. It also allows up to $28.852 
billion in advance appropriations for other accounts referenced 
in subsection (b) and referred to in this report.
      Subsection (d) defines an advance appropriation as any 
new discretionary budget authority provided in a bill, joint 
resolution, amendment, or conference report making general or 
continuing appropriations for a fiscal year following fiscal 
year 2016.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Under the conference agreement, the Senate (in section 
3202) and the House (in section 3304) retain their respective 
limits on advance appropriations.

Submission of Findings for the Elimination of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 431 of the Senate resolution directs Senate 
committees to identify waste, fraud, abuse, and duplication in 
Federal programs and to review matters identified by the 
Government Accountability Office, or GAO (in GAO's annual 
duplication report or its High Risk list) for consideration by 
Congress. In addition, the resolution asks committees to 
provide recommendations for improved governmental performance 
in their annual views and estimates reports.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 301 of the House amendment includes 
reconciliation-like instructions to named House committees to 
submit to the Committee on the Budget of the House of 
Representatives no later than October 1, 2015, changes in laws 
within their jurisdiction that would achieve a targeted amount 
of savings from the elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse. 
Savings targets for each committee would be published in the 
Congressional Record by the Chairman of the Committee on the 
Budget of the House.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3401 of the conference agreement adopts the 
language in the Senate resolution with some modifications. 
Subsection (a) of the conference agreement directs all 
committees of the Senate and House of Representatives to review 
programs within their jurisdiction and identify waste, fraud, 
abuse, or duplication, and increase the use of performance data 
to inform each committee's work.
      Section 3401(b) also directs all committees of the Senate 
and House of Representatives to review applicable matters for 
congressional consideration identified in the Office of 
Inspector General semiannual reports and the Office of 
Inspector General's list of unimplemented recommendations and 
on the Government Accountability Office's High Risk list and 
annual report to reduce program duplication.
      Section 3401(c) further directs all committees of the 
Senate and House of Representatives, after completing the 
oversight and performance reviews required under this section, 
to include recommendations for improved governmental 
performance in their annual views and estimates reports 
submitted by the committees to the Committees on the Budget of 
the Senate and House of Representatives, as applicable, under 
section 301(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 
U.S.C. 632(d)).
Budgetary Treatment of Administrative Expenses

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 432 of the Senate resolution requires the joint 
explanatory statement accompanying the conference report on the 
budget resolution to include amounts for the discretionary 
administrative expenses of the Social Security Administration 
and the United States Postal Service--which are subject to the 
discretionary spending caps--in the allocation to the 
Appropriations Committee.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 403(a) of the House amendment declares that the 
administrative expenses of the Social Security Administration 
and the United States Postal Service are reflected in the 
allocation to the Committee on Appropriations even though both 
are technically off-budget. This language is necessary to 
ensure the Committee on Appropriations retains control over 
administrative expenses through the annual appropriations 
process. This budgetary treatment of administrative expenses is 
based on the long-term practice of the House and Senate Budget 
Committees.
      Subsection (b) requires the administrative expenses to be 
included in the cost estimates for the relevant appropriations 
measure, which are used to determine if a measure exceeds the 
spending limits in the budget resolution and, as a result, 
subject to points of order.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3402 of the conference agreement adopts the 
language in the House resolution with a minor modification that 
strikes the reference to the point of order in section 311 of 
the Congressional Budget Act.
Application and Effect of Changes in Allocations and Aggregates

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 433 of the Senate resolution directs that (1) 
adjustments of allocations and aggregates made under the 
authority of a reserve fund or other directive will apply while 
a measure is under consideration, take effect once the measure 
is enacted, and be published in the Congressional Record; (2) 
revisions to allocations and aggregates will be considered as 
if contained in this budget resolution, for enforcement 
purposes; and (3) Budget Committee estimates will serve as the 
basis for determining new levels of budget authority, outlays, 
direct spending, new entitlement authority, revenues, deficits, 
and surpluses.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 410(a) of the House-passed resolution sets forth 
allocation and adjustment procedures required to accommodate 
legislation provided for in this concurrent resolution. It 
declares that these adjustments apply while the legislation is 
under consideration and become permanent upon enactment of the 
legislation. These adjustments must be printed in the 
Congressional Record.
      Paragraph 410(a)(3) includes a provision temporarily 
suspending the Senate point of order against certain 
reconciliation bills.
      Section 410(b) stipulates that in the House of 
Representatives, for purposes of this concurrent resolution and 
budget enforcement, any legislation for which the Chair of the 
Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives makes 
an adjustment or revision in the allocations, aggregates, and 
other budgetary levels of this concurrent resolution shall not 
be subject to the points of order set forth in clause 10 of 
rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives (CUT-GO).

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Section 3403 retains the Senate language but adopts House 
subsection 410(b) pertaining to Rule XXI of the House of 
Representatives (CUT-GO).
Adjustments to Reflect Changes in Concepts and Definitions

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 434 of the Senate resolution declares that in the 
event Congress enacts a bill or joint resolution that changes 
concepts or definitions, the Senate resolution provides the 
Budget Committee Chairman with the authority to change levels 
and allocations in this resolution, accordingly.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 410(a) of the House amendment declares that in 
the event Congress enacts a bill or joint resolution that 
changes concepts or definitions, the Senate resolution provides 
the Budget Committee Chairman with the authority to change 
levels and allocations in this resolution, accordingly.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Both the Senate and House resolutions include traditional 
language giving the Chairman of the Budget Committee the 
authority to make changes to the level and committee 
allocations in the event legislation becomes law that changes 
key budgetary concepts or definitions. In section 3404 of the 
conference agreement, the House joins the Senate language 
relating to changes in concepts and definitions.
Exercise of Rulemaking Powers

                           SENATE RESOLUTION

      Section 435 of the Senate resolution declares that the 
provisions in Title III of the resolution are promulgated under 
the Senate's rulemaking power and shall be considered part of 
the rules of the Senate.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 411 of the House amendment affirms that the 
adoption of the budget resolution is an exercise of the House's 
rulemaking power and that the House has the constitutional 
right to change these rules.

                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      In section 3405 of the conference agreement, the House 
joins the Senate language relating to rulemaking powers of this 
resolution.

   PAY-AS-YOU-GO SCORECARD FOR THE SENATE REFLECTING LEVELS FOR THE 
                          CONFERENCE AGREEMENT

      Period of the current fiscal year, the budget year, and 
the 4 fiscal years following the budget year: $0.
      Period of the current fiscal year, the budget year, and 
the 9 fiscal years following the budget year: $0.
                             RESERVE FUNDS

      The Budget Committee does not have the authority to 
authorize policy changes--that is the role of the authorizing 
committees. Committees often make some of their policy 
priorities known in their views and estimates letters, and 
reserve funds are a way to accommodate those requests when the 
specific spending and revenue contours of those policies are 
unknown.
      Operatively, a reserve fund allows the Chairman of the 
Budget Committee to revise committee allocations, budgetary 
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the budget 
resolution to accommodate legislation described in the reserve 
fund, provided the budgetary effects of that legislation 
satisfy the requirements enumerated.

                            HOUSE AMENDMENT

      Section 501. Reserve fund for the repeal of the 
President's health care law. Section 501 permits the Chair of 
the Committee on the Budget to revise allocations of spending 
authority and other budgetary levels for a measure that fully 
repeals the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public 
Law 111-148) and the health care-related provisions of the 
Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 [HCERA 
2010] (Public Law 111-152). These are the health care bills 
enacted into law in 2010.
      Legislation repealing the health care laws must solely 
achieve that purpose and may not include extraneous language, 
whether such language has a budgetary effect or not. These 
adjustments would not be available for legislation that only 
partially repeals these laws. The reserve fund is intended to 
only apply to the health care provisions and would not apply to 
the repeal of the education-related provisions of HCERA 2010. 
The adjustments may be made for bills, amendments thereto, or 
conference reports. Multiple measures may take advantage of the 
reserve fund, as long as each is for the specified purpose.
      An amendment (or a motion to recommit), if it qualifies 
under the terms of this reserve fund, may be offered to an 
unrelated measure, but should such a measure, as amended, be 
returned to the House as a conference report or an amendment 
between the Houses, no adjustments would be made if that 
measure contained text unrelated to the purpose of this reserve 
fund. Adjustments may be made for amendments meeting the 
criteria, but the adjustment would not cover provisions in the 
underlying bill unrelated to repealing these laws.
      A measure receiving an adjustment under the terms of this 
reserve fund may be open for amendment, subject to the special 
rule providing for its consideration, but the amendment, if it 
does not meet the terms outlined in this section, must be 
compliant with the Budget Act and the Rules of the House 
without regard to the adjustments made to the underlying 
measure.
      Section 502. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for promoting 
real health care reform. Section 502 permits the Chair of the 
Committee on the Budget to revise allocations of spending 
authority, provided to committees of the House, and to adjust 
other budgetary levels for a measure that promotes real health 
care reform as long as the measure is deficit-neutral for the 
period of fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
      Section 503. Deficit-neutral reserve fund related to the 
Medicare provisions of the President's health care law. Section 
503 permits the Chair of the Committee on the Budget to revise 
allocations of spending authority provided to committees of the 
House, and to adjust other budgetary levels for a measure that 
repeals the Medicare spending cuts in the Patient Protection 
and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148) or the Health Care 
and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-152), 
as long as the measure is deficit-neutral for the period of 
fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
      A measure that repeals only part of these Medicare 
spending reductions is also eligible for these adjustments. A 
series of bills, joint resolutions, amendments, or conference 
reports may receive adjustments under this section, only 
limited by the cumulative amount of the Medicare spending 
reductions included in the public laws referenced, as estimated 
by the Chair of the Committee on the Budget. Once the limit is 
reached through enacted measures, no more adjustments may be 
made under this reserve fund. The amount necessary to repeal 
the Medicare spending cuts is a limit on the adjustments that 
may be made under this reserve fund, but as the House considers 
measures that meet these terms, the amount is not reduced until 
the enactment of such measure fulfilling this purpose.
      Section 504. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for the State 
Children's Health Insurance Program. Section 504 permits the 
Chair of the Committee on the Budget to revise the allocations 
of spending authority provided to applicable committees and 
adjust other budgetary levels in this resolution for a measure 
that extends the State Children's Health Insurance Program as 
long as such measure does not increase the deficit over the 
period of fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
      Section 505. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for graduate 
medical education. Section 505 permits the Chair of the 
Committee on the Budget to revise the allocations of spending 
authority provided to applicable committees and adjust other 
budgetary levels in this resolution for a measure that reforms, 
expands, access to, and improves, as determined by such Chair, 
graduate medical education programs as long as such measure 
does not increase the deficit over the period of fiscal years 
2016 through 2025.
      Section 506. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for trade 
agreements. Section 506 permits the Chair of the Committee on 
the Budget to revise the allocations of spending authority 
provided to the Committee on Ways and Means and to adjust other 
budgetary levels in this resolution for legislation that 
implements a trade agreement, as long as such a measure does 
not increase the deficit in the period of fiscal years 2016 
through 2025.
      Section 507. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for reforming 
the tax code. Section 507 permits the Chair of the Committee on 
the Budget to revise the allocations of spending authority 
provided to the Committee on Ways and Means and to adjust other 
budgetary levels in this resolution for legislation that 
reforms the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as long as such 
legislation is deficit-neutral for the period of fiscal years 
2016 through 2025.
      Section 508. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for revenue 
measures. Section 508 permits the Chair of the Committee on the 
Budget to revise the allocations of spending authority provided 
to the Committee on Ways and Means for legislation that causes 
a decrease in revenue. The Chair of the Committee on the Budget 
may adjust the allocations and aggregates in this resolution if 
the measure does not increase the deficit over the period of 
fiscal years 2016 through 2025. This allows the Committee on 
Ways and Means to report legislation that reduces revenue below 
the level provided for in this resolution but only if it 
decreases outlays by an equal or greater amount in the 
applicable period.
      Section 509. Deficit-neutral reserve fund to reduce 
poverty and increase opportunity and upward mobility. Section 
509 permits the Chair of the Committee on the Budget to revise 
the allocations of spending authority provided to applicable 
committees and adjust other budgetary levels in this resolution 
for a measure reforming policies and programs to reduce poverty 
and increase opportunity and upward mobility as long as such a 
measure neither adversely impacts job creation nor increases 
the deficit in the period of fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
      Section 510. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for 
transportation. Section 510 permits the Chair of the Committee 
on the Budget to revise the allocations of spending authority 
and to adjust other budgetary enforcement levels in this 
resolution for any bill or joint resolution to maintain the 
solvency of the Highway Trust Fund, as long as such a measure 
does not increase the deficit in the period of fiscal years 
2016 through 2025.
      Section 511. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for Federal 
retirement reform. Section 511 permits the Chair of the 
Committee on the Budget to revise the allocations of spending 
authority provided to applicable committees and adjust other 
budgetary levels in this resolution for a measure that reforms, 
improves and updates, as determined by such Chair, the Federal 
retirement system as long as such measure does not increase the 
deficit over the period of fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
      Section 512. Deficit-neutral reserve fund for national 
defense. Section 512 permits the Chair of the Committee on the 
Budget to revise the allocations of spending authority provided 
to applicable committees and adjust other budgetary levels in 
this resolution for any legislation that supports the 
activities specified below as long as such legislation is 
deficit-neutral (without counting any net revenue increases in 
that measure) for the periods of fiscal years 2016 through 2021 
or fiscal years 2016 through 2025. The activities that may be 
supported in legislation under this reserve fund include 
Department of Defense training and maintenance associated with 
combat readiness, modernization of equipment, auditability of 
financial statements, or military compensation recommendations.

Notes: The average annual growth rate over the 2006-2015 period encompasses growth in outlays from the amount recorded in 2005 through the amount
  projected for 2015.
Data on spending for benefit programs in this table exclude administrative costs that are classified as discretionary but generally include
  administrative costs classified as mandatory.
SNAP = Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; n.a. = not applicable.
Because October 1 fell on a weekend in 2006, 2007, and 2012, certain federal payments that were due on that date were instead made at the end of the
  preceding September and thus shifted into the previous fiscal year. Those shifts primarily affected outlays for Supplemental Security Income,
  veterans' compensation benefits and pensions, and Medicare.
 
a. The average annual growth rate reflects the program's growth from its inception in 2006 through 2015.
b. Differs from the amounts reported in Table 3-2 from The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2015 to 2025 because it does not include payments
  to health insurance plans for risk adjustment (amounts paid to plans that attract less healthy enrollees) and reinsurance (amounts paid to plans that
  enroll individuals who end up with high costs). Spending for grants to states to establish exchanges is also excluded.
c. Does not include amounts that reduce tax receipts.
d. Includes the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, the Child Support Enforcement program, the Child Care Entitlement program, and other
  programs that benefit children.
e. Includes mandatory spending designed to reduce the discretionary budget authority needed to support the maximum award level set in the appropriation
  act plus mandatory spending that, by formula, increases the total maximum award above the amount set in the appropriation act.
f. Does not include offsetting receipts.
g. Does not include outlays associated with federal interest payments, which are not considered part of mandatory spending

Notes: The projections shown here are the same as those reported in Congressional Budget Office, The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2015 to
  2025 (January 2015). CBO recently updated its baseline projections as reported in Congressional Budget Office, Updated Budget Projections: 2015 to
  2025 (March 2015). Some of the projections are different in the March baseline, but at the request of the committee staff, the projections shown are
  from the January baseline.
The average annual growth rate over the 2016-2025 period encompasses growth in outlays from the amount projected for 2015 through the amount projected
  for 2025.
Projections of spending for benefit programs in this table exclude administrative costs that are classified as discretionary but generally include
  administrative costs classified as mandatory.
SNAP = Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Because October 1 will fall on a weekend in 2016, 2017, 2022, and 2023, certain federal payments that are due on that date will instead be made at the
  end of the preceding September and thus be shifted into the previous fiscal year.
Those shifts primarily affect outlays for Supplemental Security Income, veterans' compensation benefits and pensions, and Medicare.
 
a. Differs from the amounts reported in Table 3-2 from The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2015 to 2025 because it does not include payments
  to health insurance plans for risk adjustment (amounts paid to plans that attract less healthy enrollees) and reinsurance (amounts paid to plans that
  enroll individuals who end up with high costs). Spending for grants to states to establish exchanges is also excluded.
b. Does not include amounts that reduce tax receipts.
c. Differs from the amounts reported on Table 3-2 from The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2015 to 2025 because it does not include other tax
  credits that were included in that table.
d. Includes the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, the Child Support Enforcement program, the Child Care Entitlement program, and other
  programs that benefit children.
e. Includes mandatory spending designed to reduce the discretionary budget authority needed to support the maximum award level set in the appropriation
  act plus mandatory spending that, by formula, increases the total maximum award above the amount set in the appropriation act.
f. Does not include offsetting receipts.
g. Does not include outlays associated with federal interest payments, which are not considered part of mandatory spending.
h. The discretionary baseline does not represent a projection of expected costs for the discretionary portion of the Pell Grant program. As with all
  other discretionary programs, the budget authority is calculated by inflating the budget authority appropriated for fiscal year 2015. Outlays for
  future years are based on those amounts of budget authority and also reflect a temporary surplus of budget authority provided in 2015.
