What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a new section to the budget resolution regarding a deficit-neutral reserve fund for security assistance.

  • The amendment would allow the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to change the spending limits of committees or other budget levels.
  • These changes could apply to bills, joint resolutions, or other legislative actions intended to maintain or increase security assistance for United States allies.
  • Included allies are those in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and major non-NATO allies such as Australia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, New Zealand, Argentina, Bahrain, the Philippines, Thailand, Kuwait, Morocco, Brazil, Colombia, and Kenya.
  • Any such legislation must not increase the deficit, which is the amount of money the government owes, over the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
