other rules only to the extent that they are incon- 1
sistent with other such rules; and 2
(2) with full recognition of the constitutional 3

those rules at any time, in the same manner, and to 5
the same extent as in the case of any other rule of 6
the House of Representatives. 7

TITLE VIPOLICY 15
SEC. 601. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE. 16
(a) FINDINGS.The House finds the following: 17
(1) More than 50 million Americans depend on 18
Medicare for their health security. 19
(2) The Medicare Trustees Report has repeat- 20
edly recommended that Medicares long-term finan- 21
cial challenges be addressed soon. Each year without 22
reform, the financial condition of Medicare becomes 23
more precarious and the threat to those in and near 24

retirement becomes more pronounced. According to 1
the Congressional Budget Office 2
(A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund 3
will be exhausted in 2022 and unable to pay 4
scheduled benefits; and 5
(B) Medicare spending is growing faster 6
than the economy and Medicare outlays are 7
currently rising at a rate of 6.3 percent per 8
year, and under the Congressional Budget Of- 9
fices alternative fiscal scenario, direct spending 10
on Medicare is projected to reach 7 percent of 11
GDP by 2035 and 14 percent of GDP by 2085. 12
(3) Failing to address this problem will leave 13
millions of American seniors without adequate health 14
security and younger generations burdened with 15
enormous debt to pay for spending levels that cannot 16
be sustained. 17
(b) POLICY ON MEDICARE REFORM.It is the policy 18
of this resolution to protect those in and near retirement 19
from any disruptions to their Medicare benefits and offer 20
future beneficiaries the same health care options available 21
to Members of Congress. 22
(c) ASSUMPTIONS.This resolution assumes reform 23
of the Medicare program such that: 24

61
(1) Current Medicare benefits are preserved for 1
those in and near retirement, without changes. 2
(2) For future generations, when they reach eli- 3
gibility, Medicare is reformed to provide a premium 4
support payment and a selection of guaranteed 5
health coverage options from which recipients can 6
choose a plan that best suits their needs. 7
(3) Medicare will provide additional assistance 8
for lower-income beneficiaries and those with greater 9
health risks. 10
(4) Medicare spending is put on a sustainable 11
path and the Medicare program becomes solvent 12
over the long-term. 13
SEC. 602. POLICY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY. 14
(1) More than 55 million retirees, individuals 16
with disabilities, and survivors depend on Social Se- 17
curity. Since enactment, Social Security has served 18
as a vital leg on the three-legged stool of retire- 19
ment security, which includes employer provided 20
pensions as well as personal savings. 21
(2) The Social Security Trustees report has re- 22
peatedly recommended that Social Securitys long- 23
term financial challenges be addressed soon. Each 24
year without reform, the financial condition of Social 25

Security becomes more precarious and the threat to 1
seniors and those receiving Social Security disability 2
benefits becomes more pronounced: 3
(A) In 2016, according to the Congres- 4
sional Budget Office, the Federal Disability In- 5
surance Trust Fund will be exhausted and will 6
be unable to pay scheduled benefits. 7
(B) In 2036, according to the Social Secu- 8
rity Trustees Report the combined Federal Old- 9
Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and 10
Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund will 11
be exhausted, and will be unable to pay sched- 12
uled benefits. 13
(C) With the exhaustion of the trust funds 14
in 2036, benefits will be cut 23 percent across 15
the board, devastating those currently in or 16
near retirement and those who rely on Social 17
Security the most. 18
(3) The current recession has exacerbated the 19
crisis to Social Security. The Congressional Budget 20
Office continues to project permanent cash deficits. 21
(4) Lower-income Americans rely on Social Se- 22
curity for a larger proportion of their retirement in- 23
come. Therefore, reforms should take into consider- 24

63
ation the need to protect lower-income Americans 1
retirement security. 2
(5) Americans deserve action by their elected 3
officials on Social Security reform. It is critical that 4
the Congress and the administration work together 5
in a bipartisan fashion to address the looming insol- 6
vency of Social Security. In this spirit, this resolu- 7
tion creates a bipartisan opportunity to find solu- 8
tions by requiring policymakers to ensure that Social 9
Security remains a critical part fo the safety net. 10
(b) POLICY ON SOCIAL SECURITY.It is the policy 11
of this resolution that Congress should work on a bipar- 12
tisan basis to make Social Security permanently solvent. 13
This resolution assumes reform of a current law trigger, 14
such that 15
(1)(A) if in any year the Board of Trustees of 16
the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust 17
Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust 18
Fund in its annual Trustees Report determines that 19
the 75-year actuarial balance of the Social Security 20
Trust Funds is in deficit, and the annual balance of 21
the Social Security Trust Funds in the 75th year is 22
in deficit, the Board of Trustees should, not later 23
than September 30 of the same calendar year, sub- 24
mit to the President recommendations for statutory 25

64
reforms necessary to achieve a positive 75-year actu- 1
arial balance and a positive annual balance in the 2
75th year; and 3
(B) such recommendations provided to the 4
President should be agreed upon by both Public 5
Trustees of the Board of Trustees; 6
(2)(A) not later than December 1 of the same 7
calendar year in which the Board of Trustees sub- 8
mits its recommendations, the President shall 9
promptly submit implementing legislation to both 10
Houses of Congress, including recommendations nec- 11
essary to achieve a positive 75-year actuarial balance 12
and a positive annual balance in the 75th year; and 13
(B) the Majority Leader of the Senate and the 14
Majority Leader of the House should introduce such 15
legislation upon receipt; 16
(3) within 60 days of the President submitting 17
legislation, the committees of jurisdiction to which 18
the legislation has been referred should report such 19
legislation, which should be considered by the full 20
House or Senate under expedited procedures; and 21
(4) legislation submitted by the President 22
should 23
(A) protect those in and near retirement; 24

(B) preserve the safety net for those who 1
rely on Social Security, including survivors and 2
those with disabilities; 3
(C) improve fairness for participants; and 4
(D) reduce the burden on, and provide cer- 5
tainty for, future generations. 6
SEC. 603. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION 7
THROUGH THE CANCELLATION OF UNOBLI- 8
GATED BALANCES. 9
(1) According to the Office of Management and 11
Budget, Federal agencies will hold $698 billion in 12
unobligated balances at the close of fiscal year 2013. 13
(2) These funds represent direct and discre- 14
tionary spending made available by Congress that 15
remain available for expenditure beyond the fiscal 16
year for which they are provided. 17
(3) In some cases, agencies are granted funding 18
and it remains available for obligation indefinitely. 19
(4) The Congressional Budget and Impound- 20
ment Control Act of 1974 requires the Office of 21
Management and Budget to make funds available to 22
agencies for obligation and prohibits the Administra- 23
tion from withholding or cancelling unobligated 24
funds unless approved by an act of Congress. 25
March 19, 2012 (8:44 p.m.)
f:\VHLC\031912\031912.242.xml (518482|43)
66
(5) Greater congressional oversight is required 1
to review and identify potential savings from 2
unneeded balances of funds. 3
(b) POLICY ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE 4
CANCELLATION OF UNOBLIGATED BALANCES.Congres- 5
sional committees shall through their oversight activities 6
identify and achieve savings through the cancellation or 7
rescission of unobligated balances that neither abrogate 8
contractual obligations of the Federal Government nor re- 9
duce or disrupt Federal commitments under programs 10
such as Social Security, veterans affairs, national secu- 11
rity, and Treasury authority to finance the national debt. 12
(c) DEFICIT REDUCTION.Congress, with the assist- 13
ance of the Government Accountability Office, the Inspec- 14
tors General, and other appropriate agencies should make 15
it a high priority to review unobligated balances and iden- 16
tify savings for deficit reduction. 17
SEC. 604. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF 18
WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE IN FEDERAL PRO- 19
GRAMS. 20
(1) The Government Accountability Office is re- 22
quired by law to identify examples of waste, duplica- 23
tion, and overlap in Federal programs, and has so 24
identified dozens of such examples. 25
March 19, 2012 (8:44 p.m.)
f:\VHLC\031912\031912.242.xml (518482|43)
67
(2) In testimony before the Committee on Over- 1
sight and Government Reform, the Comptroller Gen- 2
eral has stated that addressing the identified waste, 3
duplication, and overlap in Federal programs could 4
potentially save tens of billions of dollars. 5
(3) The Rules of the House of Representatives 6
require each standing committee to hold at least one 7
hearing every four months on waste, fraud, abuse, or 8
mismanagement in Government programs. 9
(4) The findings resulting from congressional 10
oversight of Federal Government programs should 11
result in programmatic changes in both authorizing 12
statutes and program funding levels. 13
(b) POLICY ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE 14
REDUCTION OF UNNECESSARY AND WASTEFUL SPEND- 15
ING.Each authorizing committee annually shall include 16
in its Views and Estimates letter required under section 17
301(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 rec- 18
ommendations to the Committee on the Budget of pro- 19
grams within the jurisdiction of such committee whose 20
funding should be reduced or eliminated. Such rec- 21
ommendations shall be made publicly available. 22
