                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that a biennial 
  budget process should be enacted in the second session of the 106th 
                               Congress.

Whereas the annual appropriations and budget process increasingly dominates the 
        congressional agenda and Congress regularly fails to meet the deadlines 
        of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974;
Whereas the design of the budget process has led to repetitive and time-
        consuming budget votes, decreasing the time available for systematic 
        oversight of Federal programs and delaying enactment of legislation 
        necessary to fund the Government;
Whereas Congress' constitutional responsibility to improve the efficiency, 
        economy, and effectiveness of governmental operations, evaluate programs 
        and performance, detect and prevent poor administration, waste, or abuse 
        in Government programs, ensure that executive policies reflect the 
        public interest, ensure administrative compliance with legislative 
        intent, and prevent executive encroachment on legislative authority and 
        prerogatives is undermined by the current time-consuming and repetitive 
        budget process;
Whereas an annual budget process encourages inefficiency in the management, 
        stability, and predictability of Federal funding, particularly for 
        States and localities;
Whereas a biennial budget process will reduce the number of budget-related votes 
        during each Congress, enhance congressional oversight of Government 
        operations, encourage longer time horizons in policy planning and 
        greater stability in fiscal policy;
Whereas a biennial budget process was a principal recommendation of the 1993 
        Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress and the Vice President's 
        National Performance Review; and
Whereas a bipartisan majority of Members of the House of Representatives and the 
        Senate support biennial budget process legislation: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
a biennial budget process should be enacted in the second session of 
the 106th Congress.
