S.Amdt. 1448

SA 1448. Mr. COONS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution H. Con. Res. 14, establishing the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2026 through 2034; which was ordered to lie on the table; as
follows:

At the appropriate place, insert the following:

SEC. ___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO
REAPPOINTING INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE VETERANS AND
WERE INVOLUNTARILY REMOVED FROM FEDERAL
EMPLOYMENT.

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
recognizing the tremendous service of, and sacrifices made
by, veterans, which may include legislation that would
reappoint recently removed veterans who had been serving as
Federal employees and sustain Federal employment
opportunities for veterans as part of the wider civilian
workforce, which is critical to the governance and national
security of the United States, by the amounts provided in
such legislation for those purposes, provided that such
legislation would not increase the deficit over the period of
the total of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
