any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
The waiver of all points of order against amendments
printed in this report includes a waiver of clause 10(c) of
rule XVIII, which prohibits amendments from proposing to change
the appropriate level of public debt set forth in the
concurrent resolution.
While the resolution waives all points of order against
consideration of H. Res. 115, the Committee is not aware of any
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
SUMMARY OF THE AMENDMENTS TO H. CON. RES. 25 MADE IN ORDER
1. SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT. Mulvaney (SC): Inserts the text of
the Senate's Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for fiscal
year 2014. (20 minutes)
2. CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS SUBSTITUTE. Fudge (OH),
Scott, Bobby (VA), Moore, Gwen (WI), Lee, Barbara (CA): Makes
significant investments in education, job training,
transportation and infrastructure, and advanced research and
development programs that will accelerate our economic
recovery. At the same time, the CBC Budget protects the social
safety net without cutting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid,
or SNAP. The CBC Budget makes tough but responsible decisions
to raise new revenue by making our tax system fairer by closing
corporate tax loopholes and preferences, saving trillions of
dollars on the deficit over the next decade. The CBC Budget
will put our nation on a sustainable fiscal path by reducing
our annual budget deficit to 1.8% of GDP by FY 2023. (30
minutes)
3. CONGRESSIONAL PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS SUBSTITUTE. Grijalva,
Raul (AZ), Ellison (MN), Edwards, Donna (MD), Lee, Barbara
(CA), McDermott (WA), Pocan, Mark (WI), Schakowsky (IL):
Establishes the budget for the United States Government for
fiscal year 2014 and setting forth appropriate budgetary levels
for fiscal year 2013 and for fiscal years 2015 through 2023.
The Back to Work Budget invests in America's future because the
best way to reduce our long-term deficit is to put America back
to work. (30 minutes)
4. REPUBLICAN STUDY COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE. Woodall (GA),
Scalise (LA): Balances in four years, removes the fiscal cliff
tax increases, and cuts discretionary spending to FY2008
levels. (30 minutes)
5. DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS SUBSTITUTE. Van Hollen, Chris (MD):
Inserts a full substitute budget resolution that reflects the
priorities and challenges we face today by emphasizing job
creation and growth, replacing the harmful sequester with a
balanced approach to deficit reduction that includes targeted
spending cuts as well as revenues, protecting Medicare
beneficiaries, and cutting tax breaks for the wealthiest
Americans while extending tax relief for the middle-class. The
Democratic substitute meets these national priorities within a
fiscally responsible framework that reduces the deficit to a
sustainable 2.4 percent of GDP by 2023. (30 minutes)

SEC. 4. DIRECT SPENDING.
(a) Means-tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For means-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2014 is 6.7
percent.
(2) For means-tested direct spending, the estimate
average rate of growth in the total level of outlays
during the 10-year period beginning with fiscal year
2014 is 6.2 percent under current law.
(3) This concurrent resolution retains the social
safety net that has lifted millions of Americans out of
poverty and protects both the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program and Medicaid from draconian spending
cuts.
(b) Nonmeans-tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2014 is 5.9
percent.
(2) For nonmeans-test direct spending, the estimated
average rate of growth in the total level of outlays
during the 10-year period beginning with fiscal year
2014 is 5.3 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution for nonmeans-tested direct
spending:
(A) For Medicare, this budget rejects
proposals to end the Medicare guarantee and
shift rising health care costs onto seniors by
replacing Medicare with vouchers or premium
support for the purchase of private insurance.
Such proposals will expose seniors and persons
with disabilities on fixed incomes to
unacceptable financial risks, and they will
weaken the traditional Medicare program.
Instead, this budget builds on the success of
the Affordable Care Act, which made significant
strides in health-care cost containment and put
into place a framework for continuous
innovation. This budget supports comprehensive
reforms to give physicians and other care
providers incentives to provide high-quality,
coordinated, efficient care, in a manner
consistent with the goals of fiscal
sustainability. It makes no changes that reduce
benefits available to seniors and individuals
with disabilities in Medicare.
(B) Any savings derived from changes or
reforms to Medicare and Social Security should
be used to extend the solvency of these vital
programs and not be used to offset the cost of
cutting taxes.

TITLE II--ESTIMATES OF DIRECT SPENDING
SEC. 201. DIRECT SPENDING.
(a) Means-tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For means-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2014 is 6.7
percent.
(2) For means-tested direct spending, the estimated
average rate of growth in the total level of outlays
during the 11-year period beginning with fiscal year
2013 is 6.3 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution for means-tested direct spending:
(A) State budgets have suffered significantly
during the economic downturn. According to the
National Governor's Association, half of all
states are projecting lower total revenues in
2013 than they saw in 2008. To assist
struggling states, the Back to Work Budget
temporarily increases funding for Medicaid -
the single largest portion of total state
spending - through the Federal Medical
Assistance Percentages program. This will help
stabilize Medicaid, which is a vital program
for low-income and middle-class families,
providing health and long-term care services to
those stricken with catastrophic illness,
injury, or disability, or facing prolonged
infirmity.
(B) The American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act expanded a number of tax credits targeted
at working families to boost relief during hard
economic times. The Back to Work Budget retains
the improvements made to the Earned Income Tax
Credit (qualifying children and phase-out
range), Child and Dependent Care Credit, and
the American Opportunity Tax Credit. These
credits fuel demand for American businesses by
putting money in the hands of families that
truly need it.
(b) Nonmeans-tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2014 is 5.9
percent.
(2) For non means-tested direct spending, the
estimated average rate of growth in the total level of
outlays during the 11-year period beginning with fiscal
year 2013 is 5.1 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution for nonmeans-tested direct
spending:
(A) Medicare is a cornerstone of the American
health care system for more than 45 million
America seniors. It is an exemplary program
that provides the most efficient care to a
segment of the population that costs more to
treat. The Back to Work Budget protects
beneficiaries and makes the system even more
efficient. It amends Part D of Medicare to
allow the Secretary of Health and Human
Services to negotiate prescription drug prices
with pharmaceutical manufacturers, as the
Department of Veterans Affairs currently does,
which will save Medicare $157 billion over 10
years and will reduce costs for seniors. The
budget adopts policies to prohibit ``pay for
delay'' agreements that reduce competition and
modifies periods of exclusivity to increase
availability of needed therapies. The budget
also accelerates the use of bundling payments
as an alternative to fee-for-service payments.
It builds on Affordable Care Act efficiencies
in administration of information and payments.
Using standardized electronic systems for
administration information such as claims,
billing, payments and eligibility creates a
more efficient and less fragmented health care
system.
(B) The bulk of agriculture commodity
subsidies go to large corporate farms that grow
commodity crops such as corn, wheat, cotton,
rice, and soybeans. These crops are often grown
using unsustainable methods that require high
levels of fertilizers, pesticides, and
herbicides, leading to polluted waterways and
degraded soil. The Back to Work Budget
eliminates certain commodity subsidies, which
will save billions, while reducing
environmental impacts.
Amend the title so as to read: ``Concurrent
resolution setting forth the congressional budget for
the United States Government for fiscal year 2014 and
including the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
year 2013 and fiscal years 2015 through 2023.''.

TITLE III--BUDGET ENFORCEMENT
SEC. 301. LIMITATION ON ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS.
(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) The Veterans Health Care Budget and Reform
Transparency Act of 2009 provides advance
appropriations for the following veteran medical care
accounts: Medical Services, Medical Support and

(2) The President has yet to submit a budget request
as required under section 1105(a) of title 31, United
States Code, including the request for the Department
of Veterans Affairs, for fiscal year 2014, hence the
request for veteran medical care advance appropriations
for fiscal year 2015 is unavailable as of the writing
of this concurrent resolution.
(3) This concurrent resolution reflects the most up-
to-date estimate on veterans' health care needs
included in the President's fiscal year 2013 request
for fiscal year 2015.
(b) In General.--In the House, except as provided for in
subsection (c), any bill or joint resolution, or amendment

SEC. 302. CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS.
Upon the enactment of any bill or joint resolution providing
for a change in budgetary concepts or definitions, the chair of
the Committee on the Budget may adjust any allocations,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this concurrent
resolution accordingly.
SEC. 303. ADJUSTMENTS OF AGGREGATES, ALLOCATIONS, AND APPROPRIATE
BUDGETARY LEVELS.
(a) Adjustments of Discretionary and Direct Spending
Levels.--If a committee (other than the Committee on
Appropriations) reports a bill or joint resolution, or
amendment thereto or conference report thereon, providing for a
decrease in direct spending (budget authority and outlays
flowing therefrom) for any fiscal year and also provides for an
authorization of appropriations for the same purpose, upon the
enactment of such measure, the chair of the Committee on the
Budget may decrease the allocation to such committee and
increase the allocation of discretionary spending (budget
authority and outlays flowing therefrom) to the Committee on
Appropriations for fiscal year 2014 by an amount equal to the
new budget authority (and outlays flowing therefrom) provided
for in a bill or joint resolution making appropriations for the
same purpose.
(b) Adjustments to Implement Discretionary Spending Caps and
to Fund Veterans' Programs and Overseas Contingency Operations/
Global War on Terrorism.--
(1) Findings.--(A) The President has not submitted a
budget for fiscal year 2014 as required pursuant to
section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, by the
date set forth in that section.
(B) In missing the statutory date by which the budget
must be submitted, this will be the fourth time in five
years the President has not complied with that
deadline.
(C) This concurrent resolution reflects the levels of
funding for veterans' medical programs as set forth in
the President's fiscal year 2013 budget request.
(2) President's budget submission.--In order to take
into account any new information included in the budget
submission by the President for fiscal year 2014, the
chair of the Committee on the Budget may adjust the
allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate
budgetary levels for veterans' programs, Overseas
Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism, or the
302(a) allocation to the Committee on Appropriations
set forth in the report of this concurrent resolution
to conform with section 251(c) of the Balanced Budget
and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as adjusted
by section 251A of such Act).
(3) Revised congressional budget office baseline.--
The chair of the Committee on the Budget may adjust the

budgetary levels to reflect changes resulting from
technical and economic assumptions in the most recent
baseline published by the Congressional Budget Office.
(c) Determinations.--For the purpose of enforcing this
concurrent resolution on the budget in the House, the
allocations and aggregate levels of new budget authority,
outlays, direct spending, new entitlement authority, revenues,
deficits, and surpluses for fiscal year 2014 and the period of
fiscal years 2014 through fiscal year 2023 shall be determined
on the basis of estimates made by the chair of the Committee on
the Budget and such chair may adjust such applicable levels of
this concurrent resolution.
SEC. 304. LIMITATION ON LONG-TERM SPENDING.
(a) In General.--In the House, it shall not be in order to
consider a bill or joint resolution reported by a committee
(other than the Committee on Appropriations), or an amendment
thereto or a conference report thereon, if the provisions of
such measure have the net effect of increasing direct spending
in excess of $5,000,000,000 for any period described in
subsection (b).
(b) Time Periods.--The applicable periods for purposes of
this section are any of the four consecutive ten fiscal-year
periods beginning with fiscal year 2024.
SEC. 305. BUDGETARY TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.
(a) In General.--Notwithstanding section 302(a)(1) of the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, section 13301 of the Budget
Enforcement Act of 1990, and section 4001 of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1989, the report accompanying this

resolution on the budget shall include in its allocation under
section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to the
Committee on Appropriations amounts for the discretionary
administrative expenses of the Social Security Administration
and the United States Postal Service.
(b) Special Rule.--For purposes of applying sections 302(f)
and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, estimates of

discretionary amounts.
(c) Adjustments.--The chair of the Committee on the Budget
may adjust the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate
levels for legislation reported by the Committee on Oversight
and Government Reform that reforms the Federal retirement
system, if such adjustments do not cause a net increase in the
deficit for fiscal year 2014 and the period of fiscal years
2014 through 2023.
SEC. 306. APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ALLOCATIONS AND
AGGREGATES.
(a) Application.--Any adjustments of the allocations,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels made pursuant to this
concurrent resolution shall--
(1) apply while that measure is under consideration;
(2) take effect upon the enactment of that measure;
and
(3) be published in the Congressional Record as soon
as practicable.
(b) Effect of Changed Allocations and Aggregates.--Revised
allocations and aggregates resulting from these adjustments
shall be considered for the purposes of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974 as allocations and aggregates included in
this concurrent resolution.
(c) Budget Compliance.--(1) The consideration of any bill or
joint resolution, or amendment thereto or conference report
thereon, for which the chair of the Committee on the Budget
makes adjustments or revisions in the allocations, aggregates,
and other appropriate 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 or
section 604.
(2) Section 314(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974
shall not apply in the House of Representatives to any bill,
joint resolution, or amendment that provides new budget
authority for a fiscal year or to any conference report on any
such bill or resolution, if--
(A) the enactment of that bill or resolution;
(B) the adoption and enactment of that amendment; or
(C) the enactment of that bill or resolution in the
form recommended in that conference report;
would not cause the appropriate allocation of new budget
authority made pursuant to section 302(a) of such Act for that
fiscal year to be exceeded or the sum of the limits on the
security and non-security category in section 251A of the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act as reduced
pursuant to such section.
SEC. 307. CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ESTIMATES.
(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) Costs of Federal housing loans and loan
guarantees are treated unequally in the budget. The
Congressional Budget Office uses fair-value accounting
to measure the costs of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but
determines the cost of other Federal housing programs
on the basis of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990
(``FCRA'').
(2) The fair-value accounting method uses discount
rates which incorporate the risk inherent to the type
of liability being estimated in addition to Treasury
discount rates of the proper maturity length. In
contrast, cash-basis accounting solely uses the
discount rates of the Treasury, failing to incorporate
risks such as prepayment and default risk.
(3) The Congressional Budget Office estimates that
the $635 billion of loans and loan guarantees issued in
2013 alone would generate budgetary savings of $45
billion over their lifetime using FCRA accounting.
However, these same loans and loan guarantees would
have a lifetime cost of $11 billion under fair-value
methodology.
(4) The majority of loans and guarantees issued in
2013 would show deficit reduction of $9.1 billion under
FCRA methodology, but would increase the deficit by
$4.7 billion using fair-value accounting.
(b) Fair Value Estimates.--Upon the request of the chair or
ranking member of the Committee on the Budget, any estimate
prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office for
a measure under the terms of title V of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974, ``credit reform'', as a supplement to such
estimate shall, to the extent practicable, also provide an
estimate of the current actual or estimated market values
representing the ``fair value'' of assets and liabilities
affected by such measure.
(c) Fair Value Estimates for Housing Programs.--Whenever the
Director of the Congressional Budget Office prepares an
estimate pursuant to section 402 of the Congressional Budget
Act of 1974 of the costs which would be incurred in carrying
out any bill or joint resolution and if the Director determines
that such bill or joint resolution has a cost related to a
housing or residential mortgage program under the FCRA, then
the Director shall also provide an estimate of the current
actual or estimated market values representing the ``fair
value'' of assets and liabilities affected by the provisions of
such bill or joint resolution that result in such cost.
(d) Enforcement.--If the Director of the Congressional Budget
Office provides an estimate pursuant to subsection (b) or (c),
the chair of the Committee on the Budget may use such estimate
to determine compliance with the Congressional Budget Act of
1974 and other budgetary enforcement controls.
SEC. 308. TRANSFERS FROM THE GENERAL FUND OF THE TREASURY TO THE
HIGHWAY TRUST FUND THAT INCREASE PUBLIC
INDEBTEDNESS.
For purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, or
the rules or orders of the House of Representatives, a bill or
joint resolution, or an amendment thereto or conference report
thereon, that transfers 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 the transfer occurs.
SEC. 309. SEPARATE ALLOCATION FOR OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS/
GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM.
(a) Allocation.--In the House, there shall be a separate
allocation to the Committee on Appropriations for overseas
contingency operations/global war on terrorism. For purposes of
enforcing such separate allocation under section 302(f) of the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the ``first fiscal year'' and
the ``total of fiscal years'' shall be deemed to refer to
fiscal year 2014. Such separate allocation shall be the
exclusive allocation for overseas contingency operations/global
war on terrorism under section 302(a) of such Act. Section
302(c) of such Act shall not apply to such separate allocation.
The Committee on Appropriations may provide suballocations of
such separate allocation under section 302(b) of such Act.
Spending that counts toward the allocation established by this
section shall be designated pursuant to section
251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985.
(b) Adjustment.--In the House, for purposes of subsection (a)
for fiscal year 2014, no adjustment shall be made under section
314(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 if any
adjustment would be made under section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
SEC. 310. EXERCISE OF RULEMAKING POWERS.
The House adopts the provisions of this title--
(1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the
House of Representatives and as such they shall be
considered as part of the rules of the House of
Representatives, and these rules shall supersede other
rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent
with other such rules; and
(2) with full recognition of the constitutional right
of the House of Representatives to change those rules
at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent
as in the case of any other rule of the House of
Representatives.
TITLE IV--POLICY
SEC. 401. POLICY STATEMENT ON HEALTH CARE LAW REPEAL.
It is the policy of this resolution that the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148), and
the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
(Public Law 111-152) should be repealed.
SEC. 402. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEANS-TESTED WELFARE PROGRAMS.
(a) Findings.--The House finds that:
(1) In 1996, President Bill Clinton and congressional
Republicans enacted reforms that have moved families
off of Federal programs and enabled them to provide for
themselves.
(2) According to the most recent projections, over
the next 10 years we will spend approximately $10
trillion on means-tested welfare programs.
(3) Today, there are approximately 70 Federal
programs that provide benefits specifically to poor and
low-income Americans.
(4) Taxpayers deserve clear and transparent
information on how well these programs are working, and
how much the Federal Government is spending on means-
tested welfare.
(b) Policy on Means-Tested Welfare Programs.--It is the
policy of this resolution that the President's budget should
disclose, in a clear and transparent manner, the aggregate
amount of Federal welfare expenditures, as well as an estimate
of State and local spending for this purpose, over the next ten
years.
SEC. 403. POLICY STATEMENT ON REFORMING FEDERAL REGULATION.
It is the policy of this resolution that the cost of
regulations on job creators should be reduced by enacting title
II of the Jobs Through Growth Act (H.R. 3400), as introduced on
November 10, 2011. Further, it is the policy of this resolution
that H.R. 309, the Regulatory Sunset and Review Act of 2013 as
introduced on January 18, 2013, should also be enacted.
SEC. 404. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE.
(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) More than 51 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 and near
retirement becomes more pronounced. According to the
Congressional Budget Office--
(A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be
exhausted in 2023 and unable to pay scheduled
benefits; and
(B) Medicare spending is growing faster than
the economy and Medicare outlays are currently
rising at a rate of 6.4 percent per year on
average over the next ten years, and under the
Congressional Budget Office's alternative
fiscal scenario, direct spending on Medicare is
projected to reach 6.4 percent of GDP by 2035
and 13 percent of GDP by 2085.
(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.--It is the policy of this
resolution--
(1) to protect those in and near retirement from any
disruptions to their Medicare benefits and offer future
beneficiaries the same health care options available to
Members of Congress; and
(2) that H.R. 309, the Regulatory Sunset and Review
Act of 2013 as introduced on January 18, 2013, should
be enacted
(c) Assumptions.--This resolution assumes reform of the
Medicare program such that:
(1) Current Medicare benefits are preserved for those
in and near retirement, without changes.
(2) For future generations, when they 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, including an option
to remain in the traditional Medicare fee-for-service
program.
(3) Medicare will provide additional assistance for
lower-income beneficiaries and those with greater
health risks.
(4) Medicare spending is put on a sustainable path
and the Medicare program becomes solvent over the long
term.
SEC. 405. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE
CANCELLATION OF UNOBLIGATED BALANCES.
(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) According to the Office of Management and Budget,
Federal agencies will hold $698 billion in unobligated
balances at the close of fiscal year 2013.
(2) These funds represent direct and discretionary
spending made available by Congress that remain
available for expenditure beyond the fiscal year for
which they are provided.
(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 unneeded
balances of funds.
(b) Policy on Deficit Reduction Through the Cancellation of
Unobligated Balances.--Congressional committees shall through
their oversight activities identify and achieve savings through
the cancellation or rescission of unobligated balances that
neither abrogate contractual obligations of the Federal
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.--Congress, with the assistance of the
Government Accountability Office, the Inspectors General, and
other appropriate agencies should make it a high priority to
review unobligated balances and identify savings for deficit
reduction.
SEC. 406. POLICY STATEMENT ON BLOCK GRANTING MEDICAID.
It is the policy of this resolution that Medicaid and the
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) should be block
granted to the States in a manner prescribed by the State
Health Flexibility Act of 2013 (H.R. 567, 113th Congress).
SEC. 407. POLICY STATEMENT ON A CARBON TAX.
It is the policy of this budget that a carbon tax would be
detrimental to American families and businesses, and is not in
the best interest of the United States.
SEC. 408. POLICY STATEMENT ON THE USE OF OFFICIAL TIME BY FEDERAL
EMPLOYEES FOR UNION ACTIVITIES.
It is the policy of this budget that, as called for in the
Federal Employee Accountability Act of 2013, Federal employees
shall not use official time to conduct union activities.
SEC. 409. POLICY STATEMENT ON CREATION OF A COMMITTEE TO ELIMINATE
DUPLICATION AND WASTE.
It is the policy of this budget that a new committee, styled
after the post-World War II ``Byrd Committee'' shall be created
to act on GAO's annual waste and duplication reports as well as
Oversight and Government Reform Inspector General reports.
SEC. 410. POLICY STATEMENT ON FEDERAL FUNDING OF ABORTION.
It is the policy of this budget that no taxpayer dollars
shall go to any entity that provides abortion services.
SEC. 411. POLICY STATEMENT ON READABLE LEGISLATION.
It is the policy of this budget that bills should be made
more readable and for Members of Congress and more accessible
to the public as called for in the Readable Legislation Act of
2013.
SEC. 412. POLICY STATEMENT ON WORK REQUIREMENTS.
It is the policy of this budget that the work requirements in
the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant program
should be preserved as called for in H.R. 890, 113th Congress.
SEC. 413. POLICY STATEMENT ON ENERGY PRODUCTION.
It is the policy of this resolution that the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and currently unavailable areas of the
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) should be open for energy
exploration and production. To ensure States' rights, states
are given the option to withdrawal from leasing within certain
areas of the OCS. Specifically, a State, through enactment of a
State statute, may withdrawal from leasing from all or part of
any area within 75 miles of that State's coast.
SEC. 414. POLICY STATEMENT ON REGULATION OF GREENHOUSE GASES BY THE
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY.
The Environmental Protection Agency is prohibited from
promulgating any regulation concerning, taking action relating
to, or taking into consideration the emission of a greenhouse
gas to address climate change.
SEC. 415. POLICY STATEMENT ON CREATING A COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE WASTE
AND DUPLICATION.
It is the policy of this budget that a new commission styled
after the ``Byrd Committee'' shall be established as called for
in H. Res. 119., as introduced on March 14, 2013.
SEC. 416. POLICY STATEMENT ON REFORMING THE FEDERAL BUDGET PROCESS.
It is the policy of this resolution that the Federal budget
process should be reformed so that it is easier to reduce
Federal spending than it is to increase it by enacting reforms
included in the Spending, Deficit, and Debt Control Act of 2009
(H.R. 3964, 111th Congress).

TITLE VI--EARMARK MORATORIUM
SEC. 601. EARMARK MORATORIUM.
(a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order to consider--
(1) a bill or joint resolution reported by any
committee, or any amendment thereto or conference
report thereon, that includes a congressional earmark,
limited tax benefit, or limited tariff benefit; or
(2) a bill or joint resolution not reported by any
committee, or any amendment thereto or conference
report thereon, that includes a congressional earmark,

(b) Definitions.--For the purposes of this resolution, the
terms ``congressional earmark'', ``limited tax benefit'', and
``limited tariff benefit'' have the meaning given those terms
in clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of
Representatives.
(c) Special Rule.--The point of order under subsection (a)
shall only apply to legislation providing or authorizing
discretionary budget authority, credit authority, or other
spending authority, providing a Federal tax deduction, credit,
or exclusion, or modifying the Harmonized Tariff Schedule in
fiscal year 2012 or fiscal year 2013.
(d) Inapplicability.--This resolution shall not apply to any
authorization of appropriations to a Federal entity if such
authorization is not specifically targeted to a State,
locality, or congressional district.
SEC. 602. LIMITATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON RULES.
The House Committee on Rules may not report a rule or order
that would waive the point of order set forth in the first
section of this resolution.
TITLE VII--ESTIMATES OF DIRECT SPENDING
SEC. 701. DIRECT SPENDING.
(a) Means-tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For means-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2014 is 6.7
percent.
(2) 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
2014 is 6.2 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution 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 five years
following passage, child-poverty rates fell,
welfare caseloads fell, and workers' wages
increased. This budget applies the lessons of
welfare reform to both the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program and Medicaid.
(B) For Medicaid, this budget converts the
Federal share of Medicaid spending into a
flexible State allotment tailored to meet each
State's needs, indexed for inflation and
population growth. Such a reform would end the
misguided one-size-fits-all approach that has
tied the hands of State governments. Instead,
each State would have the freedom and
flexibility to tailor a Medicaid program that
fits the needs of its unique population.
Moreover, this budget repeals the Medicaid
expansions in the President's health care law,
relieving State governments of its crippling
one-size-fits-all enrollment mandates.
(C) For the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program, this budget converts the program into
a flexible State allotment tailored to meet
each State's needs, increases in the Department
of Agriculture Thrifty Food Plan index and
beneficiary growth. Such a reform would provide
incentives for States to ensure dollars will go
towards those who need them most. Additionally,
it requires that more stringent work
requirements and time limits apply under the
program.
(b) Nonmeans-tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2014 is 5.9
percent.
(2) 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 2014 is 5.3 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution for nonmeans-tested direct
spending:
(A) For Medicare, this budget advances
policies to put seniors, not the Federal
Government, in control of their health care
decisions. Those in or near retirement will see
no changes, while future retirees would be
given a choice of private plans competing
alongside the traditional fee-for-service
Medicare program. Medicare would provide a
premium-support payment either to pay for or
offset the premium of the plan chosen by the
senior, depending on the plan's cost. The
Medicare premium-support payment would be
adjusted so that the sick would receive higher
payments if their conditions worsened; lower-
income seniors would receive additional
assistance to help cover out-of-pocket costs;
and wealthier seniors would assume
responsibility for a greater share of their
premiums. Putting seniors in charge of how
their health care dollars are spent will force
providers to compete against each other on
price and quality. This market competition will
act as a real check on widespread waste and
skyrocketing health care costs.
(B) In keeping with a recommendation from the
National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility
and Reform, this budget calls for Federal
employees--including Members of Congress and
congressional staff--to make greater
contributions toward their own retirement.

SEC. 206. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR EXTENSION OF EXPIRING HEALTH
CARE PROVISIONS.
The chairman of the House Committee on the Budget may revise
the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in
this resolution for any bill, joint resolution, amendment, or
conference report that extends expiring Medicare, Medicaid, or
other health provisions, by the amounts provided in such
measure if such measure would not increase the deficit for

relationships with their children. Such changes could
reflect efforts to ensure that States have the
necessary resources to collect all child support that
is owed to families and to allow them to pass 100
percent of support on to families without financial
penalty. When 100 percent of child support payments are
passed to the child, rather than to administrative
expenses, program integrity is improved and child
support participation increases.

legislation requires sustained yield timber harvests obviating
the need for funding under Public Law 106-393 in the future and
would not increase the deficit for either of the following time
periods: fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2018 or fiscal year
2013 to fiscal year 2023.
SEC. 211. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST
FUND.
The chairman of the House Committee on the Budget may revise
the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in
this resolution for any bill, joint resolution, amendment, or
conference report that capitalizes the existing Affordable

TITLE III--ESTIMATES OF DIRECT SPENDING
SEC. 301. DIRECT SPENDING.
(a) Means-tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For means-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2014 is 6.7
percent.
(2) For means-tested direct spending, the estimated
average rate of growth in the total level of outlays
during the 11-year period beginning with fiscal year
2013 is 6.3 percent under current law.
(3) The resolution retains the social safety net that
lifts millions of people out of poverty.
(b) Nonmeans-tested Direct Spending.--
(1) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the average
rate of growth in the total level of outlays during the
10-year period preceding fiscal year 2014 is 5.9
percent.
(2) For nonmeans-tested direct spending, the
estimated average rate of growth in the total level of
outlays during the 11-year period beginning with fiscal
year 2013 is 5.1 percent under current law.
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this
concurrent resolution for nonmeans-tested direct
spending: For Medicare, this budget rejects proposals
to end the Medicare guarantee and shift rising health
care costs onto seniors by replacing Medicare with
vouchers or premium support for the purchase of private
insurance. Such proposals will expose seniors and
persons with disabilities on fixed incomes to
unacceptable financial risks, and they will weaken the
traditional Medicare program. Instead, this budget
builds on the success of the Affordable Care Act, which
made significant strides in health care cost
containment and put into place a framework for
continuous innovation. This budget supports
comprehensive reforms to give physicians and other care
providers incentives to provide high-quality,
coordinated, efficient care, in a manner consistent
with the goals of fiscal sustainability. It makes no
changes that reduce benefits available to seniors and
individuals with disabilities in Medicare.

SEC. 501. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON JOBS: MAKE IT IN AMERICA.
(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) the economy entered a deep recession in December
2007 that was worsened by a financial crisis in 2008 -
by January 2009, the private sector was shedding
821,000 jobs per month;
(2) actions by the President, Congress, and the
Federal Reserve helped stem the crisis, and job
creation resumed in 2010, with the economy creating 6.4
million private jobs over the past 36 consecutive
months;
(3) multi-year across-the-board spending cuts under
sequestration will cost Americans millions of jobs with
up to 750,000 jobs lost this year alone, slow economic
growth by up to one third this year alone, and impair
our global competitive edge;
(4) as part of a ``Make it in America'' agenda, U.S.
manufacturing has been leading the Nation's economic
recovery as domestic manufacturers regain their
economic and competitive edge and a wave of insourcing
jobs from abroad begins;
(5) despite the job gains already made, job growth
needs to accelerate and continue for an extended period
for the economy to fully recover from the recession;
and
(6) job creation is vital to Nation-building at home
and to deficit reduction - CBO has noted that if the
country were at full employment, the deficit would be
about half its current size.
(b) Policy.--
(1) In general.--It is the policy of this resolution
that Congress should pursue a ``Make it in America''
agenda with a priority to consider and enact
legislation to help create jobs, remove incentives to
out-source jobs overseas and instead support incentives
that bring jobs back to the U.S., and help middle class
families by increasing the minimum wage.
(2) Jobs.--This resolution--
(A) assumes enactment of legislation to
replace sequestration under the Budget Control
Act of 2011 with at least the same amount of
deficit reduction from a balanced approach that
would increase revenues without increasing that
tax burden on middle-income Americans, and
decrease long-term spending while maintaining
the Medicare guarantee, protecting Social
Security and a strong social safety net, and
making strategic investments in education,
science, research, and critical infrastructure
necessary to compete in the global economy.
(B) assumes enactment of--
(i) the President's $50 billion
immediate transportation jobs package;
(ii) other measures proposed in the
American Jobs Act and reflected in the
President's 2013 budget; and
(iii) the President's proposed
surface transportation legislation;
(C) assumes $1 billion for the President's
proposal to establish a Veterans Job Corps;
(D) assumes $80 billion in education jobs
funding for the President's initiatives to
promote jobs now while also creating an
infrastructure that will help students learn
and create a better future workforce, including
$30 billion for rebuilding at least 35,000
public schools, $25 billion to prevent hundreds
of thousands of educator layoffs, and $8
billion to help community colleges train 2
million workers in high-growth industries with
skills that will lead directly to jobs; and
(E) establishes a reserve fund that would
allow for passage of additional job creation
measures, including further infrastructure
improvements and support for biomedical
research that both creates jobs and advances
scientific knowledge and health, or other
spending or revenue proposals.
SEC. 502. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON TAKING A BALANCED APPROACH TO DEFICIT
REDUCTION.
(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) every bipartisan commission has recommended, and
the majority of Americans agree, that we should take a
balanced, bipartisan approach to reducing the deficit
that addresses both revenue and spending; and
(2) sequestration is a meat-ax approach to deficit
reduction that imposes deep and mindless cuts,
regardless of their impact on vital services and
investments.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the resolution that--
(1) the Congress should vote on H.R. 699, which would
replace the sequester for calendar year 2013 with a
balanced mix of targeted and better timed spending
reductions and revenue increases to prevent the loss of
jobs and the drag on economic growth in the near term;
and
(2) the Congress should replace the entire 10-year
sequester established by the Budget Control Act of 2011
with a balanced approach that would increase revenues
without increasing the tax burden on middle-income
Americans, and decrease long-term spending while
maintaining the Medicare guarantee, protecting Social
Security and a strong social safety net, and making
strategic investments in education, science, research,
and critical infrastructure necessary to compete in the
global economy.
SEC. 503. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM THAT PROTECTS
WORKERS AND RETIREES.
(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) Social Security is America's most important
retirement resource, especially for seniors, because it
provides an income floor to keep them, their spouses
and their survivors out of poverty during retirement -
benefits earned based on their past payroll
contributions;
(2) in January 2011, 56.8 million people relied on
Social Security;
(3) Social Security benefits are modest, with an
average annual benefit for retirees of about $15,000,
which is the majority of total retirement income for
more than half of all beneficiaries;
(4) diverting workers' payroll contributions toward
private accounts undermines retirement security and the
social safety net by subjecting the workers' retirement
decisions and income to the whims of the stock market;
(5) diverting trust fund payroll contributions toward
private accounts jeopardizes Social Security because
the program will not have the resources to pay full
benefits to current retirees; and
(6) privatization increases Federal debt because the
Treasury will have to borrow additional funds from the
public to pay full benefits to current retirees.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that Social
Security should be strengthened for its own sake and not to
achieve deficit reduction. Because privatization proposals are
fiscally irresponsible and would put the retirement security of
seniors at risk, any Social Security reform legislation shall
reject partial or complete privatization of the program.
SEC. 504. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON PROTECTING THE MEDICARE GUARANTEE FOR
SENIORS.
(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) senior citizens and persons with disabilities
highly value the Medicare program and rely on Medicare
to guarantee their health and financial security;
(2) in 2012, 50 million people relied on Medicare for
coverage of hospital stays, physician visits,
prescription drugs, and other necessary medical goods
and services;
(3) the Medicare program has lower administrative and
program costs than private insurance for a given level
of benefits;
(4) rising health care costs are not unique to
Medicare or other Federal health programs, they are
endemic to the entire health care system;
(5) destroying the Medicare program and replacing it
with a voucher or premium support for the purchase of
private insurance that fails to keep pace with growth
in health costs will expose seniors and persons with
disabilities on fixed incomes to unacceptable financial
risks;
(6) shifting more health care costs onto Medicare
beneficiaries would not reduce overall health care
costs, instead it would mean beneficiaries would face
higher premiums, eroding coverage, or both; and
(7) versions of voucher or premium-support policies
that do not immediately end the traditional Medicare
program will merely cause traditional Medicare to
weaken and wither away.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that the Medicare
guarantee for seniors and persons with disabilities should be
preserved and strengthened, and that any legislation to end the
Medicare guarantee and shift rising health care costs onto
seniors by replacing Medicare with vouchers or premium support
for the purchase of private insurance should be rejected.
SEC. 505. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE FOR
WORKING FAMILIES.
(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) making health care coverage affordable and
accessible for all American families will improve
families' health and economic security, which will make
the economy stronger;
(2) the Affordable Care Act signed into law in 2010
will expand coverage to 27 million Americans and bring
costs down for families and small businesses;
(3) consumers are already benefitting from the
Affordable Care Act's provisions to hold insurance
companies accountable for their actions and to end
long-standing practices such as denying coverage to
children based on pre-existing conditions, imposing
lifetime limits on coverage that put families at risk
of bankruptcy in the event of serious illness, and
dropping an enrollee's coverage once the enrollee
becomes ill based on a simple mistake in the enrollee's
application;
(4) the Affordable Care Act reforms Federal health
entitlements by using nearly every health cost-
containment provision experts recommend, including new
incentives to reward quality and coordination of care
rather than simply quantity of services provided, new
tools to crack down on fraud, and the elimination of
excessive taxpayer subsidies to private insurance
plans, and as a result will slow the projected annual
growth rate of national health expenditures by 0.3
percentage points after 2016, the essence of ``bending
the cost curve''; and
(5) the Affordable Care Act will reduce the Federal
deficit by more than $1,000,000,000,000 over the next
20 years.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that the law of
the land should support making affordable health care coverage
available to every American family, and therefore the
Affordable Care Act should not be repealed.
SEC. 506. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON MEDICAID.
(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) Medicaid is a central component of the Nation's
health care safety net, providing health coverage to 28
million low-income children, 5 million senior citizens,
10 million people with disabilities, and 14 million
other low-income people who would otherwise be unable
to obtain health insurance;
(2) senior citizens and people with disabilities
account for two-thirds of Medicaid program spending and
consequently would be at particular risk of losing
access to important health care assistance under any
policy to sever the link between Medicaid funding and
the actual costs of providing services to the currently
eligible Medicaid population;
(3) Medicaid pays for 43 percent of long-term care
services in the United States, providing a critical
health care safety net for senior citizens and people
with disabilities facing significant costs for long-
term care; and
(4) at least 70 percent of people over age 65 will
likely need long-term care services at some point in
their lives.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House that the important
health care safety net for children, senior citizens, people
with disabilities, and other vulnerable Americans provided by
Medicaid should be preserved and should not be dismantled by
converting Medicaid into a block grant, per capita cap, or
other financing arrangement that would limit Federal
contributions and render the program incapable of responding to
increased need that may result from trends in health care costs
or economic conditions.
SEC. 507. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS.
(a) Findings.--The House finds that it is the stated position
of the Administration that Afghan troops will take the full
lead for security operations in Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of this resolution that
consistent with the Administration's stated position, no
funding shall be provided for operations in Afghanistan through
the Overseas Contingency Operations budget beyond 2014.
SEC. 508. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON NATIONAL SECURITY.
(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) we must continue to support a strong military
that is second to none and the size and the structure
of our military have to be driven by a strategy;
(2) those who serve in uniform are our most important
security resource and the Administration and Congress
shall continue to provide the support they need to
successfully carry out the missions the country gives
them;
(3) a growing economy is the foundation of our
security and enables the country to provide the
resources for a strong military, sound homeland
security agencies, and effective diplomacy and
international development;
(4) 750,000 jobs will be lost in calendar year 2013
if the across-the-board cuts known as sequestration
remain in effect, hampering the economic recovery and
jeopardizing the foundation of our security,
(5) because it puts our economy at risk, the Nation's
debt is an immense security threat to our country, just
as former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral
Mullen has stated, and we must have a deficit reduction
plan that is serious and realistic;
(6) the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal
Responsibility and Reform and the bipartisan Rivlin-
Domenici Debt Reduction Task Force concluded that a
serious and balanced deficit reduction plan must put
national security programs on the table;
(7) in 2011, the U.S. spent more on defense than the
next 16 countries combined (and more than half of the
amount spent by those 16 countries was from seven NATO
countries and four other close allies);
(8) Admiral Mullen argued that the permissive budget
environment over the last decade, a period when defense
spending increased by hundreds of billions of dollars,
had allowed the Pentagon to avoid prioritizing;
(9) more can be done to rein in wasteful spending at
the Nation's security agencies, including the
Department of Defense--the last department still unable
to pass an audit--such as the elimination of
duplicative programs that have been identified by the
Government Accountability Office;
(10) effective implementation of weapons acquisition
reforms at the Department of Defense can help control
excessive cost growth in the development of new weapons
systems and help ensure that weapons systems are
delivered on time and in adequate quantities to equip
our servicemen and servicewomen;
(11) the Department of Defense should continue to
review defense plans and requirements to ensure that
weapons developed to counter Cold War-era threats are
not redundant and are applicable to 21st century
threats, which should include, with the participation
of the National Nuclear Security Administration,
examination of requirements for the nuclear weapons
stockpile, nuclear weapons delivery systems, and
nuclear weapons and infrastructure modernization;
(12) weapons technologies should be proven to work
through adequate testing before advancing them to the
production phase of the acquisition process;
(13) the Pentagon's operation and maintenance budget,
which now totals $200 billion per year, has grown for
decades between 2.5 percent and 3.0 percent above
inflation each year on a per service member basis, and
it is imperative that unsustainable cost growth be
controlled in this area;
(14) excluding those involved in war operations,
200,000 military personnel and their dependents are
stationed overseas, and the Administration should
further review the benefits and costs of alternatives
to permanent overseas basing of personnel;
(15) more than 94 percent of the increase in the
Federal civilian workforce since 2001 is due to
increases at security-related agencies--Department of
Defense (31 percent), Department of Homeland Security
(32 percent), Department of Veterans Affairs (26
percent), and Department of Justice (6 percent)--and
the increase, in part, represents a transition to
ensure civil servants, as opposed to private
contractors, are performing inherently governmental
work and an increase to a long-depleted acquisition and
auditing workforce at the Pentagon to ensure effective
management of weapons systems programs, to eliminate
the use of contractors to oversee other contractors,
and to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse;
(16) proposals to implement an indiscriminate 10
percent across-the-board cut to the Federal civilian
workforce would adversely affect security agencies,
leaving them unable to manage their total workforce,
which includes contractors, and their operations in a
cost-effective manner; and
(17) cooperative threat reduction and other
nonproliferation programs (securing ``loose nukes'' and
other materials used in weapons of mass destruction),
which were highlighted as high priorities by the 9/11
Commission, need to be funded at a level that is
commensurate with the evolving threat.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of this resolution that--
(1) the sequester required by the Budget Control Act
of 2011 should be rescinded and replaced by a deficit
reduction plan that is balanced, that makes smart
spending cuts, that requires everyone to pay their fair
share, and that takes into account a comprehensive
national security strategy that includes careful
consideration of international, defense, homeland
security, and law enforcement programs;
(2) further savings can be achieved from the national
defense budget without compromising our security
through greater emphasis on eliminating duplicative and
wasteful programs, reforming the acquisition process,
identifying and constraining unsustainable operating
costs, and through careful analysis of our security
strategy; and
(3) veterans programs are fully funded and if there
is new information provided in the President's 2014
budget that would justify the need for funds in excess
of the amount reflected in section 102(15), adjustments
shall be made from within the discretionary totals to
meet any such new requirements.
SEC. 509. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON TAX REFORM TO REPLACE THE SEQUESTER
AND REDUCE THE DEFICIT.
(a) Findings.--The House finds that--
(1) the sequester represents a meat-ax approach to
cutting government spending and will cost the economy
750,000 jobs in 2013 alone, according to the
nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office;
(2) the House must therefore replace the sequester
with a balanced approach to deficit reduction that
would raise revenues in addition to making targeted
spending cuts;
(3) this balanced approach to deficit reduction must
include overhauling our outdated tax code--which
contains numerous, wasteful tax breaks for special
interests--to make it simpler, more progressive, and
more competitive;
(4) these special tax breaks can greatly complicate
the effort to administer the code and the taxpayer's
ability to fully comply with its terms, while also
undermining our basic sense of fairness;
(5) the corporate income tax does include a number of
incentives that help spur economic growth and
innovation, such as the research and development credit
and clean energy incentives;
(6) but tax breaks for special interests can also
distort economic incentives for businesses and
consumers and encourage businesses to ship American
jobs and capital overseas for tax purposes;
(7) the President's National Commission on Fiscal
Responsibility and Reform observed that the corporate
income tax is riddled with special interest tax breaks
and subsidies, is badly in need of reform, and it
proposed to streamline the code, capturing some of the
savings in the process, to achieve deficit reduction in
a more balanced way;
(8) even Speaker Boehner indicated that he has a plan
that would raise an additional $800 billion in revenues
through closing tax loopholes and eliminating special
interest tax breaks.
(b) Policy.--
(1) Policy on individual income taxes.--
(A) This resolution encourages the House
Committee on Ways and Means to help reduce the
deficit and replace the sequester through a
balanced approach that includes limits on tax
expenditures and tax breaks for very high-
income individuals. This resolution expressly
rejects the approach in the Republican
resolution that provides millionaires with even
larger tax cuts at the expense of middle-class
taxpayers. This resolution also expressly
rejects raising taxes on middle-class taxpayers
with adjusted gross incomes below $200,000
($250,000 for married couples) and reflects the
tax rates and income thresholds established in
the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. This
resolution therefore encourages the House
Committee on Ways and Means to raise the
revenue needed through closing loopholes and
ending tax breaks for special interests and the
very wealthy, consistent with key proposals
made by both the President and the National
Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform
to limit tax expenditures.
(B) This resolution supports working
families, encourages increased labor force
participation, and boosts access to higher
education by permanently extending the
expansions to the child tax credit, the EITC,
and the American Opportunity Tax Credit,
respectively, first legislated under the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
(C) This resolution extends policies that
reinvest in domestic manufacturing to bring
jobs back to our shores; builds up the
renewable energy production capacity of the
United States in order to limit our reliance on
foreign oil while creating green jobs; expands
access to higher education, which everyone
agrees is essential for building up a highly-
skilled workforce and building out the middle
class; and supports saving and capital
formation that will raise future standards of
living.
(2) Policy on corporate income taxes.--
(A) This resolution proposes eliminating
unproductive or unwarranted corporate tax
preferences and subsidies, as well as
pernicious tax breaks that reward U.S.
corporations that ship American jobs--rather
than products--overseas for tax purposes.
(B) This resolution adopts pro-growth
corporate tax incentives like those in the
President's FY 2013 budget proposals, such as:
enhancing incentives for domestic manufacturing
to support a ``Make it in America'' agenda,
including providing a tax credit for companies
that return operations and jobs to the U.S.
while eliminating tax breaks for companies that
move operations and jobs overseas; closing
loopholes that allow businesses to avoid taxes,
by subjecting more of their foreign earnings
sheltered in tax havens to U.S. taxation; the
research and development credit; and enhancing
clean energy incentives.
(C) This resolution therefore urges the House
Committee on Ways and Means to consider the
President's proposals for business tax reform
in determining how to best overhaul our
corporate tax code so that it promotes economic
growth and domestic job creation without
increasing the deficit and the debt.
SEC. 510. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON AGRICULTURE SPENDING.
It is the policy of this resolution that the House Committee
on Agriculture should reduce spending in farm programs that
provide direct payments to producers even in robust markets and
in times of bumper yields. The committee should also find ways
to focus assistance toward struggling family farmers and
ranchers in a manner that creates jobs and economic growth
while preserving the farm and nutrition safety net.
SEC. 511. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON THE USE OF TAXPAYER FUNDS.
It is the policy of this resolution that the House should
lead by example and 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 shall review the policies
pertaining to the services provided to Members of Congress and
House Committees, and shall identify ways to reduce any
subsidies paid for the operation of the House gym, Barber shop,
Salon, and the House dining room. Further, it is the policy of
this resolution that no taxpayer funds may be used to purchase
first class airfare or to lease corporate jets for Members of
Congress.
SEC. 512. POLICY OF THE HOUSE ON A NATIONAL STRATEGY TO ERADICATE
POVERTY AND INCREASE OPPORTUNITY.
(a) Findings.--The House finds the following:
(1) The prospect of upward mobility should be the
right of every American.
(2) Targeted, means-tested Federal programs help lift
millions of Americans out of poverty.
(3) These programs empower their beneficiaries
through job training, educational assistance, adequate
food, housing, and health care to rise to the middle
class.
(4) The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
alone lifts over 4 million people out of poverty,
including over 2 million children. It is particularly
effective in keeping children--over 1 million--out of
deep poverty (below half the poverty line). School
breakfast and lunch programs help keep children ready
to learn, allowing them to reach their full potential.
(5) The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax
Credit together lift over 9 million people, including
nearly 5 million children, out of poverty. President
Ronald Reagan proposed a major EITC expansion in 1985
and then referred to the 1986 Tax Reform Act, which
included the expansion, as ``the best antipoverty, the
best pro-family, the best job creation measure to come
out of Congress''.
(6) However, some areas of the country have been left
behind. They face persistent high levels of poverty and
joblessness. Citizens of these areas often lack access
to quality schools, affordable health care, and
adequate job opportunities.
(b) Policy.--It is the policy of the House to support the
goal of developing a national strategy to eliminate poverty,
with the initial goal of cutting poverty in half in ten years,
and to extend equitable access to economic opportunity to all
Americans. As Congress works to protect low income and middle
class Americans from the negative impacts of budget cuts on the
critical domestic programs that millions of American families
rely on to get by, priority must be given to creating a
national strategy on poverty to maximize the impact of anti-
poverty programs across Federal, State, and local governments.
Improving the effective coordination and oversight across
agencies and implementing a true unity of programs under a
``whole of government'' approach to shared goals and client
based outcomes will help to streamline access, improve service
delivery, and will strengthen and extend the reach of every
Federal dollar to fight poverty. The plan should consider
additional targeting of spending toward persistent poverty
areas to revitalize these areas of pervasive poverty,
unemployment and general distress. The plan must also include
provisions that work to remove the barriers and obstacles that
prevent the most vulnerable Americans from taking advantage of
economic and educational opportunities and moving up the ladder
of opportunity to join the middle class and reach for the
American Dream.
SEC. 513. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE REDUCTION
OF UNNECESSARY AND WASTEFUL SPENDING.
(a) Findings.--The House 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 testimony before the Committee on Oversight
and Government Reform, the Comptroller General has
stated that addressing the identified waste,
duplication, and overlap in Federal programs ``could
potentially save tens of billions of dollars.''
(3) The Federal Government spends about $80 billion
each year for information technology. GAO has
identified opportunities for savings and improved
efficiencies in the Government's information technology
infrastructure.
(4) Federal agencies reported an estimated $108
billion in improper payments in fiscal year 2012.
(5) 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.
(6) According to the Congressional Budget Office, by
fiscal year 2014, 42 laws will expire. Timely
reauthorizations of these laws would ensure assessments
of program justification and effectiveness.
(7) The findings resulting from congressional
oversight of Federal Government programs may result in
programmatic changes in both authorizing statutes and
program funding levels.
(b) Policy Statement on Deficit Reduction Through the
Reduction of Unnecessary and Wasteful Spending.--Each
authorizing committee annually shall 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 programs within the jurisdiction of
such committee whose funding should be changed.
Amend the title so as to read: ``Concurrent resolution
setting forth the congressional budget for the United States
Government for fiscal year 2014 and including the appropriate
budgetary levels for fiscal year 2013 and fiscal years 2015
through 2023.''.
