SEC. 1020__. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON SEQUESTRATION.

It is the Sense of the Senate that--
(1) the Nation's fiscal challenges are a top priority for
Congress, and sequestration, non-strategic, across-the-board
budget cuts, remains an unreasonable and inadequate budgeting
tool to address the Nation's deficits and debt;
(2) sequestration relief must be accomplished for fiscal
years 2016 and 2017;
(3) sequestration relief should include equal defense and
non-defense relief; and
(4) sequestration relief should be offset through targeted
changes in mandatory and discretionary categories and
revenues.
