SA 1415. Mr. SULLIVAN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed
to amendment SA 1116 proposed by Mr. Enzi to the concurrent resolution
H. Con. Res. 71, establishing the congressional budget for the United
States Government for fiscal year 2018 and setting forth the
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2019 through 2027; which
was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

At the end of title III, add the following:

SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO
BOLSTERING UNITED STATES MISSILE DEFENSE.

The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
activities undertaken to--
(1) maintain and improve, with the allies of the United
States, an effective, robust layered missile defense system
capable of defending the citizens of the United States
residing in territories and States of the United States,
allies of the United States, and deployed Armed Forces of the
United States;
(2) increase the capability, capacity, and reliability of
the United States homeland and theater ballistic missile
defense systems to defend against the evolving and
increasingly complex ballistic missile threats of adversaries
of the United States;
(3) develop a resilient space-based missile defense sensor
layer to provide persistent, launch-to-intercept tracking,
discrimination, and kill assessment of ballistic missile
threats and provide this capability to the Armed Forces as
soon as technically feasible; and
(4) increase funding to homeland missile defense testing to
ensure that United States defenses continue to evolve faster
than the threats against which they are postured to defend
by the amounts provided in such legislation for those
purposes, provided that such legislation would not increase
the deficit over either the period of the total of fiscal
years 2018 through 2022 or the period of the total of fiscal
years 2018 through 2027.
