SA 3079. Mr. COTTON submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 14, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2022 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2023 through 2031; 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 HEALTH
CARE, WHICH MAY INCLUDE PROHIBITING FUNDING FOR
CERTAIN GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH.

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 health
care, which may include prohibiting any Federal funding for
gain-of-function research project that may be reasonably
anticipated to confer attributes to the influenza, MERS, or
SARS virus such that the virus would have enhanced
pathogenicity or transmissibility in mammals, 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 2022 through
2026 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through
2031.
