SA 5407. Mr. BOOKER submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year
2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal
years 2027 through 2035; 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 A
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CIVILIAN WORKFORCE
EXPERIENCE GAP ASSESSMENT.

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
national security, including by requiring the Secretary of
Defense to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the multi-
year impacts of Department of Defense civilian workforce
reductions from 2025, particularly the resulting experience
and skills gaps in cases where personnel losses were not
offset by entry-level or mid-level hiring, and may include an
evaluation of effects on mission execution, technical
expertise, and institutional knowledge across critical
functional areas, as well as risks to readiness, acquisition,
and sustainment, 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 2026 through 2035.
