SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO PROMOTING
UNITED STATES NATIONAL SECURITY AND COUNTERING
PRC INFLUENCE.

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
promoting United States national security and countering the
influence of the People's Republic of China, including by
sustaining United States foreign assistance programs that (1)
provide food and shelter in the wake of conflict or
disasters, curb infectious diseases, support counter
terrorism and drug trafficking programs, or address irregular
migration; (2) remain largely frozen despite the issuance of
waivers by the Department of State; and (3) are likely to
result in thousands of deaths worldwide if not restored, 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.
