To ensure that 75-year solvency has been restored to Social Security before Congress considers new deficit-financed legislation that would increase mandatory spending or cut taxes.

SA 144. Mr. CONRAD (for himself and Ms. Stabenow) proposed an
amendment to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 18, setting forth
the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal
year 2006 and including the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2005 and 2007 through 2010; as follows:

On page 57, after line 2, insert the following:

``SEC.  . POINT OF ORDER TO SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY FIRST.

(a) Point of Order in the Senate.--It shall not be in order
in the Senate to consider any direct spending or revenue
legislation that would increase the on-budget deficit in any
fiscal year.
(b) Exception.--The point of order established by this
section shall not apply if 75-year solvency has been restored
to the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Trust
Funds as determined by the Social Security Administration
actuaries.
(c) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal.--This section may be
waived or suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote
of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An
