Sets forth the levels of budget authority, budget outlays, new direct loan obligations, and primary and secondary loan guarantee commitments for each major functional category for FY 1985 through 1988. Requires certain Senate and House committees to report changes in laws within their jurisdictions sufficient to achieve savings of specified amounts of budget authority and outlays in each of FY 1986 through 1988. Requires such committees to submit their recommendations to the Committees on the Budget of their respective Houses by June 15, 1985. Requires the Budget Committees to report to the House and Senate a reconciliation bill carrying out such recommendations without any substantive revision. Prohibits House or Senate consideration of legislation which, if enacted, would cause the aggregate total budget authority for national defense or for nondefense discretionary activities to exceed specified ceilings for FY 1986 through 1988. Permits the Senate to waive such prohibition by majority vote with a quorum present or by unanimous consent. Declares that if Congress has not completed action by October 1, 1985, on the second concurrent resolution on the budget for FY 1986, then this concurrent resolution shall be deemed to be such second concurrent resolution for purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. Prohibits House or Senate consideration during FY 1986 and 1987 of any legislation, except legislation reported in response to reconciliation instructions, authorizing new direct loan obligations or new loan guarantee commitments unless it also provides that such authority shall be effective only to the extent provided in appropriation Acts. Expresses the sense of the Congress that there should no longer be a distinction between unified budget and off-budget spending and that budget authority and outlays for former off-budget agencies should be included in the budget totals. Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) tax reform incorporating specified objectives should be adopted as soon as possible; and (2) the Director of the Congressional Budget Office shall issue a weekly report when the Senate is in session tabulating the progress of congressional action on legislation providing new budget authority and changing revenues and the public debt for a fiscal year.
