R E P O R T
[To accompany H. Res. 1036]
The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 1036, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be
adopted.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION
The resolution provides for consideration of H. Con Res.
312, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for FY 2009, under
a structured rule. The rule provides a total of four hours of
general debate, three hours to be equally divided and
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the
Committee on the Budget and one hour on the subject of economic
goals and policies to be equally divided and controlled by
Representative Maloney of New York and Representative Saxton of
New Jersey or their designees. The rule waives all points of
order against consideration of the concurrent resolution and
provides that the concurrent resolution shall be considered as
read.
The rule makes in order only those amendments printed in
this report. The amendments made in order may be offered only
in the order printed in the report, may be offered only by a
Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read,
shall be debatable for the time specified in the report equally
divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and
shall not be subject to amendment. All points of order against
the amendments are waived except that the adoption of an
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall constitute the
conclusion of consideration of the concurrent resolution for
amendment. The rule permits the Chairman of the Budget
Committee to offer amendments in the House to achieve
mathematical consistency. The rule provides that the concurrent
resolution shall not be subject to a demand for division of the
question of its adoption. The rule provides that after the
motion that the Committee rise has been rejected on a
legislative day, the Chair may entertain another such motion on
that day only if offered by the Chairman of the Committee on
the Budget or the Majority Leader and that after a motion to
strike out the enacting words of the bill has been rejected,
the Chair may not entertain another such motion during further
consideration of the bill. The rule provides that the Chair may
postpone further consideration of the concurrent resolution to
a time designated by the Speaker. Finally, the rule provides
for a motion to take the Senate concurrent resolution on the
budget from the table, strike all after the resolving clause,
and to insert in lieu thereof the provisions of House
Concurrent Resolution 312 as adopted by the House.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
Although the rule waives all points of order against
consideration of the concurrent resolution, the Committee is
not aware of any specific points of order. The waiver of all
points of order against consideration of the concurrent
resolution is prophylactic in nature.

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS MADE IN ORDER
(Summaries derived from information provided by sponsors.)
1. Kilpatrick (MI)/Scott, Robert (VA): Amendment in the
Nature of a Substitute. The substitute amendment, submitted on
behalf of the Congressional Black Caucus, seeks an alternative
budget that balances the budget in FY 2012. The CBC budget
funds programs and services in the areas of health care,
education, veterans benefits and services for low-income
families. It also provides for additional services for the
administration of justice and funds the recommendations of the
House Committee on Homeland Security. (60 minutes)
2. Lee (CA): Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute. The
substitute amendment from the Congressional Progressive Caucus
provides at least $551.7 billion for domestic, non-military
discretionary spending in FY09; provides a $118.9 billion
economic stimulus package; extends unemployment insurance, food
stamp benefits, and Medicaid payments to states; and, spends
$468.3 billion on defense. The Progressive Caucus budget
balances by FY12 and rebalances again in FY18, upon completion
of our Reinvest and Rebuild America Initiative. (60 minutes)
3. Ryan, Paul (WI): Amendment in the Nature of a
Substitute. The Republican substitute amendment balances by
2012, retains provisions enacted in 2001/2003, prevents
expansion of the AMT for the next 3 years, and achieves full
repeal in 2013. Provides total discretionary budget authority
of $1.04 trillion in fiscal year 2009, a 4.3-percent increase
from 2008 enacted level. It imposes a moratorium on
congressional earmarks for the balance of the 110th Congress;
requires a separate vote on increasing the public debt;
requires cost estimates on conference reports and unreported
bills; prohibits domestic add-ons to emergency war spending
bills; limits long-term spending commitments; prevents use of

TITLE II--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SEC. 201. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE REPORT TO CONGRESS.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) between 2001 and 2007, GAO provided the
Department of Defense with 2864 recommendations, many
related to improving their business practices and, to
date, the Department of Defense has implemented 1389
recommendations and closed 215 recommendations without
implementation; and
(2) the GAO estimates that the 1389 implemented
recommendations have yielded the Department of Defense
a savings of $63.7 billion between fiscal years 2001
and 2007.
(b) Assumption; Report.--
(1) Assumption.--This resolution assumes $300,000,000
to be used by the Department of Defense to implement
the remaining 1260 recommendations of the Government
Accountability Office.
(2) Report.--The Secretary of Defense should submit a
report to Congress within 90 days that demonstrates how
each such recommendation will be implemented, and, in
the case of any such recommendation that cannot be
implemented, a detailed reason for such inability to
implement such recommendation.
SEC. 202. REDEPLOYMENT.
It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) the war in Iraq should end as safely and quickly
as practicable and our troops should be brought home;
(2) the performance of United States military
personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan should be commended,
their courage and sacrifice have been exceptional, and
when they come home, their service should be recognized
appropriately; and
(3) the purpose of funds made available by this Act
should be to transition the mission of United States
Armed Forces in Iraq and undertake their redeployment,
and not to extend or prolong the war and occupation.

SEC. 411. POLICY STATEMENT ON HANFORD AND NUCLEAR CLEAN-UP.
It is the policy of this resolution that the United States
Government must meet its responsibility in cleaning up nuclear
waste sites created in the name of our Nation's defense by our
World War II and Cold War era nuclear weapons production and is
an obligation of the Federal Government, not an option. The
Environmental Management program responsible for cleaning up
these wastes requires a sufficient level of funding so as not
to cause legal cleanup milestones and obligations to be missed.
SEC. 412. POLICY STATEMENT ON WAR FUNDING.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) there are currently more than 183,000 troops in
the theater supporting Operations Iraqi and Enduring
Freedom;
(2) in February of 2007, the President submitted a
war request for supplemental funding to support these
troops and their ongoing operations in the global war
on terrorism;
(3) more than a year later, Congress has only acted
to partially fund that request by providing less than
half of the funding required by the troops;
(4) this policy assumes Congress will act on war
funding requests in a timely manner so as to avoid--
(A) not having sufficient funds to pay United
States soldiers, serving at home or abroad;
(B) not having sufficient funds to pay
civilian Army personnel;
(C) significant disruption in base budget
activities, which may result in delaying or
foregoing contracts and activities (e.g.,
training) that ultimately may increase cost;
and
(D) losing the ability to use the Commanders
Emergency Response Program, which is critical
to the success of United States and Coalition
Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
(b) Policy of the House on War Funding.--It is the policy of
the House that funding for troops in Operations Iraqi and
Enduring Freedom should be provided in a timely manner so as
not hinder their performance or needlessly place them in harms
way.
SEC. 413. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICAL LIABILITY.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) medical liability and the resulting practice of
defensive medicine continue to plague the medical
profession in the United States, reducing access for
patients, increasing the cost of medical care
generally, and increasing the cost of government
programs such as Medicare and Medicaid for the United
States taxpayer; and
(2) as the medical liability crisis grows, a large
fraction of these dollars will be spent on wasteful
health care services provided solely to shield
providers from a lawsuits.
(b) Policy Statement on Medical Liability.--It is the policy
of this resolution that it assumes effective medical liability
reform which will contribute to the overall goal of domestic
entitlement reform, constraining the growth of vital programs
such as Medicare and Medicaid and helping to ensure their long-
term viability.
SEC. 414. POLICY STATEMENT ON THE MEDICARE ``TRIGGER''.
This resolution assumes that the committees of jurisdiction,
in complying with the reconciliation instruction set forth in
section 20, will submit to the Committee on the Budget language
that locks in any savings resulting from Medicare funding
warning legislation designed to reduce the program's general
revenue spending exceeding 45 percent. By directing savings
solely to deficit reduction, this provision will help Medicare
fulfill its mission for the long term.
SEC. 415. PROGRAM INTEGRITY INITIATIVES.

(1) Continuing disability reviews and supplemental
security income redeterminations.--In the House, prior

additional appropriation of up to $240,000,000, and the
amount is designated for continuing disability reviews
and Supplemental Security Income redeterminations for
the Social Security Administration, the allocation to
the Committee on Appropriations shall be increased by
the amount of the additional budget authority and
outlays resulting from that budget authority for fiscal
year 2009.
(2) Internal revenue service tax compliance.--In the
House, prior to consideration of a bill or joint
resolution making appropriations for fiscal year 2009

Revenue Service and the amount is designated to improve
compliance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 and provides an additional appropriation
of up to $490,000,000, and the amount is designated to
improve compliance with the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, the allocation to the Committee
on Appropriations shall be increased by the amount of
the additional budget authority and outlays resulting
from that budget authority for fiscal year 2009.

Department of Labor and provides an additional
appropriation of up to $40,000,000, and the amount is
designated for in-person reemployment and eligibility
assessments and unemployment insurance improper payment
reviews for the Department of Labor, the allocation to
the Committee on Appropriations shall be increased by
the amount of additional budget authority and outlays
resulting from that budget authority for fiscal year
2009.
(b) Procedure for Adjustments.--
(1) In general.--In the House, prior to consideration
of a bill, joint resolution, amendment, or conference
report, the chairman of the Committee on the Budget
shall make the adjustments set forth in subsection (a)
for the incremental new budget authority in that
measure and the outlays resulting from that budget
authority if that measure meets the requirements set
forth in subsection (a), except that no adjustment
shall be made for provisions exempted for the purposes
of titles III and IV of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974 under section 404 of this resolution.
(2) Matters to be adjusted.--The adjustments referred
to in paragraph (1) are to be made to--

legislative language which will phase out the alternative
minimum tax.

(1) Medicare's unfunded liability will grow from $34
trillion to $45 trillion in the next 5 years;
(2) health care spending is expected to reach nearly
20 percent of GDP by 2017;
(3) half of the Nation's $2.4 trillion in annual
health care spending comes from taxpayer dollars; and
(4) the only way to ensure health care entitlement
programs survive and continue to fulfill their missions
in the 21st century is through fundamental reform.
(b) Policy Statement on Health Care Spending.--This
resolution assumes that the committees of jurisdiction over
health care spending issues will report legislation to reduce
health care costs and expand coverage, in part, by removing
distortions in the health care market. The removal of these
distortions may be accomplished by increasing personal
ownership and improving health care quality and information
through the sharing of information, including the passage of
H.R. 1174 and H.R. 3370.
