SA 1554. Mr. KING (for himself and Mr. Van Hollen) 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
PROHIBITING THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION
FROM FIRING STAFF WITHOUT CAUSE.

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 public
health, which may include prohibiting the Food and Drug
Administration from firing staff unless there is cause or
genuine performance justification and if doing so is opposed
to the work of the Food and Drug Administration, 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.
