(1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of 10
the House of Representatives and as such they shall 11

TITLE VI—POLICY 3
SEC. 601. POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICARE. 4
(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 5
(1) More than 50 million Americans depend on 6
Medicare for their health security. 7
(2) The Medicare Trustees Report has repeat-8
edly recommended that Medicare’s long-term finan-9
cial challenges be addressed soon. Each year without 10
reform, the financial condition of Medicare becomes 11
more precarious and the threat to those in and near 12
retirement becomes more pronounced. According to 13
the Congressional Budget Office— 14
(A) the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund 15
will be exhausted in 2022 and unable to pay 16
scheduled benefits; and 17
(B) Medicare spending is growing faster 18
than the economy and Medicare outlays are 19
currently rising at a rate of 6.3 percent per 20
year, and under the Congressional Budget Of-21
fice’s alternative fiscal scenario, direct spending 22
on Medicare is projected to reach 7 percent of 23
GDP by 2035 and 14 percent of GDP by 2085. 24
61
•HCON 112 EH
(3) Failing to address this problem will leave 1
millions of American seniors without adequate health 2
security and younger generations burdened with 3
enormous debt to pay for spending levels that cannot 4
be sustained. 5
(b) POLICY ON MEDICARE REFORM.—It is the policy 6
of this resolution to protect those in and near retirement 7
from any disruptions to their Medicare benefits and offer 8
future beneficiaries the same health care options available 9
to Members of Congress. 10
(c) ASSUMPTIONS.—This resolution assumes reform 11
of the Medicare program such that: 12
(1) Current Medicare benefits are preserved for 13
those in and near retirement, without changes. 14
(2) For future generations, when they reach eli-15
gibility, Medicare is reformed to provide a premium 16
support payment and a selection of guaranteed 17
health coverage options from which recipients can 18
choose a plan that best suits their needs. 19
(3) Medicare will provide additional assistance 20
for lower-income beneficiaries and those with greater 21
health risks. 22
(4) Medicare spending is put on a sustainable 23
path and the Medicare program becomes solvent 24
over the long-term. 25
62
•HCON 112 EH
SEC. 602. POLICY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL SECURITY. 1
(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 2
(1) More than 55 million retirees, individuals 3
with disabilities, and survivors depend on Social Se-4
curity. Since enactment, Social Security has served 5
as a vital leg on the ‘‘three-legged stool’’ of retire-6
ment security, which includes employer provided 7
pensions as well as personal savings. 8
(2) The Social Security Trustees report has re-9
peatedly recommended that Social Security’s long- 10
term financial challenges be addressed soon. Each 11
year without reform, the financial condition of Social 12
Security becomes more precarious and the threat to 13
seniors and those receiving Social Security disability 14
benefits becomes more pronounced: 15
(A) In 2016, according to the Congres-16
sional Budget Office, the Federal Disability In-17
surance Trust Fund will be exhausted and will 18
be unable to pay scheduled benefits. 19
(B) In 2036, according to the Social Secu-20
rity Trustees Report the combined Federal Old- 21
Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and 22
Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund will 23
be exhausted, and will be unable to pay sched-24
uled benefits. 25
63
•HCON 112 EH
(C) With the exhaustion of the trust funds 1
in 2036, benefits will be cut 23 percent across 2
the board, devastating those currently in or 3
near retirement and those who rely on Social 4
Security the most. 5
(3) The current recession has exacerbated the 6
crisis to Social Security. The Congressional Budget 7
Office continues to project permanent cash deficits. 8
(4) Lower-income Americans rely on Social Se-9
curity for a larger proportion of their retirement in-10
come. Therefore, reforms should take into consider-11
ation the need to protect lower-income Americans’ 12
retirement security. 13
(5) Americans deserve action by their elected 14
officials on Social Security reform. It is critical that 15
the Congress and the administration work together 16
in a bipartisan fashion to address the looming insol-17
vency of Social Security. In this spirit, this resolu-18
tion creates a bipartisan opportunity to find solu-19
tions by requiring policymakers to ensure that Social 20
Security remains a critical part fo the safety net. 21
(b) POLICY ON SOCIAL SECURITY.—It is the policy 22
of this resolution that Congress should work on a bipar-23
tisan basis to make Social Security permanently solvent. 24
64
•HCON 112 EH
This resolution assumes reform of a current law trigger, 1
such that— 2
(1)(A) if in any year the Board of Trustees of 3
the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust 4
Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust 5
Fund in its annual Trustees’ Report determines that 6
the 75-year actuarial balance of the Social Security 7
Trust Funds is in deficit, and the annual balance of 8
the Social Security Trust Funds in the 75th year is 9
in deficit, the Board of Trustees should, not later 10
than September 30 of the same calendar year, sub-11
mit to the President recommendations for statutory 12
reforms necessary to achieve a positive 75-year actu-13
arial balance and a positive annual balance in the 14
75th year; and 15
(B) such recommendations provided to the 16
President should be agreed upon by both Public 17
Trustees of the Board of Trustees; 18
(2)(A) not later than December 1 of the same 19
calendar year in which the Board of Trustees sub-20
mits its recommendations, the President shall 21
promptly submit implementing legislation to both 22
Houses of Congress, including recommendations nec-23
essary to achieve a positive 75-year actuarial balance 24
and a positive annual balance in the 75th year; and 25
65
•HCON 112 EH
(B) the Majority Leader of the Senate and the 1
Majority Leader of the House should introduce such 2
legislation upon receipt; 3
(3) within 60 days of the President submitting 4
legislation, the committees of jurisdiction to which 5
the legislation has been referred should report such 6
legislation, which should be considered by the full 7
House or Senate under expedited procedures; and 8
(4) legislation submitted by the President 9
should— 10
(A) protect those in and near retirement; 11
(B) preserve the safety net for those who 12
rely on Social Security, including survivors and 13
those with disabilities; 14
(C) improve fairness for participants; and 15
(D) reduce the burden on, and provide cer-16
tainty for, future generations. 17
SEC. 603. POLICY STATEMENT ON DEFICIT REDUCTION 18
THROUGH THE CANCELLATION OF UNOBLI-19
GATED BALANCES. 20
(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 21
(1) According to the Office of Management and 22
Budget, Federal agencies will hold $698 billion in 23
unobligated balances at the close of fiscal year 2013. 24
66
•HCON 112 EH
(2) These funds represent direct and discre-1
tionary spending made available by Congress that 2
remain available for expenditure beyond the fiscal 3
year for which they are provided. 4
(3) In some cases, agencies are granted funding 5
and it remains available for obligation indefinitely. 6
(4) The Congressional Budget and Impound-7
ment Control Act of 1974 requires the Office of 8
Management and Budget to make funds available to 9
agencies for obligation and prohibits the Administra-10
tion from withholding or cancelling unobligated 11
funds unless approved by an act of Congress. 12
(5) Greater congressional oversight is required 13
to review and identify potential savings from 14
unneeded balances of funds. 15
(b) POLICY ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE 16
CANCELLATION OF UNOBLIGATED BALANCES.—Congres-17
sional committees shall through their oversight activities 18
identify and achieve savings through the cancellation or 19
rescission of unobligated balances that neither abrogate 20
contractual obligations of the Federal Government nor re-21
duce or disrupt Federal commitments under programs 22
such as Social Security, veterans’ affairs, national secu-23
rity, and Treasury authority to finance the national debt. 24
67
•HCON 112 EH
(c) DEFICIT REDUCTION.—Congress, with the assist-1
ance of the Government Accountability Office, the Inspec-2
tors General, and other appropriate agencies should make 3
it a high priority to review unobligated balances and iden-4
tify savings for deficit reduction. 5
SEC. 604. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF 6
WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE IN FEDERAL PRO-7
GRAMS. 8
(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 9
(1) The Government Accountability Office is re-10
quired by law to identify examples of waste, duplica-11
tion, and overlap in Federal programs, and has so 12
identified dozens of such examples. 13
(2) In testimony before the Committee on Over-14
sight and Government Reform, the Comptroller Gen-15
eral has stated that addressing the identified waste, 16
duplication, and overlap in Federal programs ‘‘could 17
potentially save tens of billions of dollars’’. 18
(3) The Rules of the House of Representatives 19
require each standing committee to hold at least one 20
hearing every four months on waste, fraud, abuse, or 21
mismanagement in Government programs. 22
(4) The findings resulting from congressional 23
oversight of Federal Government programs should 24
68
•HCON 112 EH
result in programmatic changes in both authorizing 1
statutes and program funding levels. 2
(b) POLICY ON DEFICIT REDUCTION THROUGH THE 3
REDUCTION OF UNNECESSARY AND WASTEFUL SPEND-4
ING.—Each authorizing committee annually shall include 5
in its Views and Estimates letter required under section 6
301(d) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 rec-7
ommendations to the Committee on the Budget of pro-8
grams within the jurisdiction of such committee whose 9
funding should be reduced or eliminated. Such rec-10
ommendations shall be made publicly available. 11
TITLE VII—SENSE OF THE 12
HOUSE PROVISIONS 13
SEC. 701. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING THE IMPOR-14
TANCE OF CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT. 15
It is the sense of the House that— 16
(1) additional legislative action is needed to en-17
sure that States have the necessary resources to col-18
lect all child support that is owed to families and to 19
allow them to pass 100 percent of support on to 20
families without financial penalty; and 21
(2) when 100 percent of child support payments 22
are passed to the child, rather than administrative 23
69

expenses, program integrity is improved and child 1
support participation increases. 2
