Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.

The House rose from the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union to report H. Con. Res. 85.

Amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Mr. Ryan (WI).

An amendment in the nature of a substitute numbered 4 printed in House Report 111-73 which seeks to spend $4.8 trillion less than the President's budget over 10 years; sets spending levels which are 20.7% of GDP; freezes non-defense/non- veterans spending; borrows $3.6 trillion less than the President's budget over 10 years; seeks to hold debt to 65% of GDP; and puts forward a long-term budget to bring debt under control. The substitute also seeks to permanently extend 2001 and 2003 tax relief; permanently fix the Alternative Minimum Tax; create 2.1 million more jobs than the Democrats' budget; suspend capital gains taxes through 2010; and reduce the corporate tax rate to 25% from the current 35%. The amendment also seeks to provide $5 billion over the President's budget for Defense; $540 million over the President's budget for Veterans; to save $50 billion annually for war or unmet defense needs; and provide for health and retirement security by reforming programs to ensure they provide benefits for future beneficiaries.

Amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Ms. Lee (CA).

An amendment in the nature of a substitute numbered 3 printed in House Report 111-73 to build upon the historic investments made by the President's budget and the Majority's budget. However, the budget builds on these investments by immediately repealing the 2001 and 2003 Bush-era tax cuts that benefit the wealthiest Americans. The budget also adds an extremely modest 0.565% surtax on adjustable gross income exceeding $500,000 for individuals ($1 million for joint filers). The budget shifts those savings and additional revenue towards Education, Health Care, Job Training, International Aid, Justice, Transportation, and Veterans, while still producing a five year deficit that is $67 billion smaller than the Majority's budget.

Amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Mr. Jordan (OH).

An amendment in the nature of a substitute numbered 2 printed in House Report 111-73 to set spending levels, revenue levels, and deficit levels at lower amounts than what is projected by the CBO baseline or what is proposed in the President's budget request. The substitute provides defense funding at the President's level and for non-defense discretionary spending, the substitute provides a hard freeze to non-defense discretionary spending, plus a one percent reduction to prior year spending levels, and also assumes other savings from reductions to lower-priority spending.

Amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Ms. Woolsey.

An amendment in the nature of a substitute numbered 1 printed in House Report 111-73 to provide $991 billion for non-military di scretionary spending in FY10, $469 billion above President Obama's request; provides $479 billion as sufficient defense spending level; and reduces the deficit by 58% by FY2012. Savings come from eliminating Cold War era weapons systems, targeting waste, fraud, and abuse at the Pentagon, military redeployment and military contractors out of Iraq, repeal of Bush tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 a year, crackdown on corporate welfare and reinstating a quarter-cent tax (0.25%) on all stock transactions. Spending increases include health care for all Americans, cutting poverty in half in ten years, additional economic stimulus, increased Foreign Assistance, combating global warming and establishing energy independence, providing comprehensive education, and providing health care to veterans as an entitlement.
