Sets forth the appropriate levels of new budget authority and estimated budget outlays for each major functional category of the budget in fiscal years 1980, 1981, and 1982. Directs each of the following congressional committees to reduce the budget authority and outlays for fiscal year 1980 contained in reported or enacted legislation within its jurisdiction to specified levels and to recommend legislative changes to the Budget Committee of the House which would accomplish such reductions: (1) the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate; (2) the Committees on Agriculture of the House and Senate; (3) the Committees on Armed Services of the House and Senate; (4) the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and the House Committee on Public Works and Transportation; (5) the Senate Committee on Finance and the House Committee on Ways and Means; (6) the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Government Operations; and (7) the Committees on Veterans Affairs of the House and Senate. Requires such legislative recommendations to be made no later than September 25, 1979, or ten days after the completion of congressional action on this resolution, whichever first occurs.
