SALE OF GOVERNMENT ASSETS

SEc. 4. (a) It is the sense of the Congress that-

(1) from time to time the United States Government should sell assets to nongovernment buyers; and

(2) the amounts realized from such asset sales will not recur on an annual basis and do not reduce the demand for credit.

(b) For purposes of allocations and points of order under section 302 of the Congressional Budget and Im undment Control Act of 197 4, the amounts realized from asset sa s or prepayments of loans shall not be allocated to the committee and shall not be scored with

respect to the level of budget authority or outlays under a commit- tees allocation under section 302 of such Act.

(c) For purposes of this section-

(1) the terms uasset sale" and up repayment of a loan " shall have the same meaning as under section 257(12) of the Bal- anced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (as amended ^by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Con-

trol Reaffirmation Act of 1987); and

(2) the terms ''asset sale'' and ''prepayment of a loan'' do not include asset sales mandated by law before September 18, 1987, and routine, ongoing asset sales and loan prepayments at levels consistent with agency operations in fiscal year 1986 .

SEc. 5. (a) In the Senate, budget authority and outlays for fiscal year 1988 or 1989 (or both) may be allocated to the Senate Commit-

tee on Finance to provide for the welfare refo11n and medicare cata- strophic health insurance initiatives, and the egates for fiscal years 1989, 1990, and 1991 in sections 2 and 3oft is resolution may

be adjusted accordingly, when the Committee on Finance, the com- mittee of conference on the welfare reform initiative, or the commit- tee of conference on the catastrophic insurance initiative reports leg- islation that will, if enacted, make funds available for such initia- tive and ensure, to the extent that such costs are not included in this resolution, that such legislation will not increase the deficit in this resolution for fiscal year 1988 or for fiscal year 1989, and will not increase the total deficit for the period of fiscal years 1988

through 1991.

(b) Upon the re orting of legislation pursuant to subsection (a), the chairman oft .

SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ANTI-DRUG PROGRAMS

SEc. 7. It is the sense of the Co s that antinarcotics activities, including law enforcement, drug interdiction, drug treatment, and substance abuse education, are vital to the Nations future and should be ^amo the top funding priorities in the (l.Scal year 1989

,

budget. All aut orizing and Appropriations Committees and sub- committees are ^,^ur. ed to examine programs within their jurisdic-

tions to enhance t ir participation in the anti-drug effort and ^to give to priority to ,this effort in allocating their share of the funds

availa le under this budget resolution.

SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING COAST GUARD DRUG INTERDICTION

SEc. 8. (a) The Co finds that-

(1) the war against dntgS

is

an ongoing effort that must be

continually waged and that every effort

to

interdict the flow of

(13)

13

•

illegal substances into the United States should be pursued;

and

(2) one of the most important lines of defPnse against the im- portation of illegal drugs into the United States is the Coast

Guard, but because of its limited resources, the Coast Guard

is

unable to devote sufficient manpower and materials to carry out the war against drugs.

(b) [t• is the sense of the Congress that the authorizing committees of jurisdiction sh.ould consider whether

it

is appropriate to enact legislation providing that the private sector should be more fully utilized to perform nonem.ergency, nonessential Coast Guard func- tions, such as nonemergency towing, thereb .. ^Y allowing the Coast Guard to devote more resources to law enforcement, military readi- ness, and emergency search and rescue functions.

SENSE OF CONGRESl; REGARDING FEDERAL TRUST FUNDS

SEc. 9. (a) The Congress finds that-

(1) under current law, neither the Senate nor the House may consider reductions in social security as part of a bu.dget recon- ciliation bill or resolution pursuant to the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985;

(2) current law requires a balanced budget by fiscal year 1993, but includes the projected social security surpluses as offsetting deficits; and

(3) current law requires the budget resolution to display budget authority, outlays, revenues, and the deficit excluding social security, in the aggregate and by function.

(b) It

is

the sense of the Congress that the National Economic Commission should-

(1) study the budgetary treatment of social security, airport and highway, military retirement, civil service retirement, un- employment and other trust funds and self-supporting public enterprise funds including Postal Service, Federal Deposit In- surance Corporation, Comptroller of the Currency, National Credit Union Administration, Federal Home Loan Bank Board, Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, and Securi-

ties and Exchange Commission;

(2) analyze the economic, budgetary, and programmatic effects of taking these funds off-budget;

(3) consider the effects of setting trust fund surpluses aside as additional savings, including effects on the national savings rate, investment, and economic growth, as well as on program beneficiaries;

(#) include in its final report a recommendation on the budg- etary treatment of these funds; and

(5) report on the means to achieve a balance in the remaining budget and on the economic effects of a unified budget surplus.

And the Senate agt·ee to the sarne.
