SA 661. Mr. BLUMENTHAL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed
by him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 7, setting forth 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 end of title III, add the following:

SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO ENSURING
COMBAT-INJURED VETERANS RECEIVE FULL MILITARY
BENEFITS.

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
enhancing veterans' benefits, including legislation that
would ensure veterans entitled to disability compensation
from the Department of Veterans Affairs and retirement
payments from the Department of Defense receive such
compensation and payments concurrently, or eliminate the
offset of Department of Veterans Affairs disability
compensation and Department of Defense retirement payments
for veterans who have a combat-related disability, 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.
