Establishing the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2000 and setting forth appropriate budgetary levels for each of fiscal years 2001 through 2009.

Summary

Sets forth the congressional budget for the Government for FY 2000, including appropriate budgetary levels for FY 2001 through 2009. (Sec. 2) Lists recommended budgetary levels and amounts, for FY 2000 through 2009, with respect to: (1) Federal revenues; (2) new budget authority; (3) budget outlays; (4) surpluses; and (5) public debt. (Sec. 3) Sets forth the appropriate levels of new budget authority and budget outlays for specified major functional categories for FY 2000 through 2009. (Sec. 4) Directs the House Ways and Means Committee to report to the House a reconciliation bill with changes so that total revenues are not less than specified amounts for FY 2000 through 2009. (Sec. 5) Prohibits: (1) the House or Senate from considering any concurrent budget resolution (or its amendment or conference report) that sets forth a deficit for any fiscal year; and (2) social security reserve funds from being used to adjust budgetary levels. Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) legislation should be considered which establishes a statutory limit on public debt and reduces such limit by the amount of the social security surpluses; and (2) beginning with FY 2000, legislation should be enacted which requires any official budget statement of, or reference to, budget surplus or deficit totals to exclude all social security outlays and receipts. (Sec. 6) Provides that whenever the Ways and Means Committee reports a measure that enhances retirement security, the House Budget Chairman may: (1) increase the appropriate allocations and aggregates of new budget authority and outlays for FY 2000 through 2009 by the amount of the new budget authority provided by such measure; and (2) reduce the revenue aggregates for such fiscal years by the amount of revenue loss that results from such measure. Authorizes the same increase under (1), above, for a measure that extends the solvency or reforms the benefit or payment structure of the Medicare program. Provides adjustment limitations. (Sec. 7) Provides that when the House Appropriations Committee reports a measure that provides new budget authority for FY 2000 through 2004 for programs authorized under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, the House Budget Chairman may increase the appropriate allocations and aggregates of new budget authority and outlays by the amount of new budget authority provided by such measure. Requires the Director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), upon request of the Chairman, to make an updated estimate of the projected budget surplus for the applicable fiscal year. (Sec. 8) Provides for the application and effect of changes in allocations and aggregates made pursuant to this resolution. (Sec. 9) Requires the CBO Director to make quarterly updated estimates of receipts, outlays, and surplus. (Sec. 10) Expresses the sense of Congress regarding: (1) appropriate funding for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom; (2) tax law changes to encourage low-income families to save for their future; (3) affordable health care coverage for all Americans; (4) affordable access to home health care for seniors and disabled individuals; and (5) providing honor guard services for veterans' funerals. (Sec. 11) Expresses the sense of the House calling for: (1) consolidation of Federal K-12 education programs and ensuring that elementary and secondary education program funds are spent for children in the classrooms; (2) priority funding for the Medicare+Choice program; and (3) a report from the Secretary of Labor assessing the Welfare-to-Work Program.
