Summary
Sets forth the concurrent resolution on the budget for FY 1989 and the appropriate budgetary levels for FY 1990 and 1991. Sets forth levels and amounts of Federal revenues, new budget authority, budget outlays, and deficits for FY 1989 through 1991 for purposes of determining whether the maximum deficit amounts set forth in the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act) have been exceeded. Recommends levels of Federal revenues of $705,750,000,000 for FY 1989, $760,250,000,000 for FY 1990, and $816,700,000,000 for FY 1991. Sets the amount by which the aggregate levels of Federal revenues should be reduced at $400,000,000 for FY 1989, $500,000,000 for FY 1990, and $500,000,000 for FY 1991. Designates the following amounts of Federal revenues for Federal Insurance Contributions Act revenues: (1) $63,400,000,000 for FY 1989; (2) $68,150,000,000 for FY 1990; and (3) $73,400,000,000 for FY 1991. Sets the appropriate levels of total new budget authority at $973,600,000,000 for FY 1989, $1,023,300,000,000 for FY 1990, and $1,083,100,000,000 for FY 1991. States that the appropriate levels of total budget outlays are $884,400,000,000 for FY 1989, $931,950,000,000 for FY 1990, and $979,050,000,000 for FY 1991. Sets the amount of the deficit at $178,650,000,000 for FY 1989, $171,700,000,000 for FY 1990, and $162,350,000,000 for FY 1991. Sets the appropriate levels of the public debt at $2,823,400,000,000 for FY 1989, $3,062,900,000,000 for FY 1990, and $3,287,500,000,000 for FY 1991. Sets forth the appropriate levels of total Federal credit activity as follows: (1) $28,000,000,000 for new direct loan obligations and $111,300,000,000 for new primary loan guarantee commitments for FY 1989; (2) $26,850,000,000 for new direct loan obligations and $122,950,000,000 for new primary loan guarantee commitments for FY 1990; and (3) $26,650,000,000 for new direct loan obligations and $132,500,000,000 for new primary loan guarantee commitments for FY 1991. Sets forth the levels of budget authority, budget outlays, new direct loan obligations, and new primary loan guarantee commitments for each major functional category for FY 1989 through 1991. Expresses the sense of the Congress, in light of the resources required to combat narcotic traffic, that the committees of jurisdiction should enact legislation to allow the private sector to perform nonemergency towing and other nonessential Coast Guard functions and that the resulting savings should be used to increase funding for the Coast Guard for law enforcement, military readiness, and emergency search and rescue functions.

- amends ← An amendment to freeze all discretionary outlays at the FY 1988 level; eliminate all cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for entitlement programs including Social Security (but to retain increases in entitlement spending needed to provide benefits for new recipients) and to eliminate the pay increase for Federal employees in FY 1989. Finally, the amendment specifies an FY 1989 deficit of $135.7 billion.
- amends ← An amendment to hold discretionary outlays midway between an FY 1988 outlay freeze and the levels established by the domestic budget summit; to replace the cost-of-living adjustment for non-means tested entitlements (including Social Security but excluding veterans) with a $5 per month increase; and to cap the FY 1989 pay increase for federal, civilian and military personnel at 2 percent. The amendment would also provide for additional FY 1989 revenues totaling $3.7 billion produced from a one year suspension of indexing individual income taxes. Finally, the amendment specifies an FY 1989 deficit of $112.4 billion.
- amends ← An amendment to provide for FY 1989 savings of $20.6 billion in interest costs (as a result of refinancing the national debt with long-term, gold-backed bonds), and FY 1989 revenue increases of $25.8 billion (to be achieved through tax amnesty and more optimistic economic assumptions). Finally, the amendment provides for a FY 1989 deficit of $130.7 billion.
