      That this Act may be cited as the ``Reserve Account for 
  Administrative Savings Act of 1993''.
  
  SEC. 2. GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY RESERVE ACCOUNTS.
  
      Subchapter II of chapter 15 of title 31, United States Code, is 
  amended by adding at the end the following:
  ``Sec. 1520. Special rule for apportioning salaries and expenses within 
                an appropriation
      ``(a) All appropriations for salaries and expenses shall be 
  apportioned as necessary to carry out this section.
      ``(b)(1) Except as provided by paragraph (2), in apportioning any 
  appropriation for salaries and expenses for a fiscal year under this 
  section, a reserve shall be established in an amount that is equal to 5 
  percent of the actual amount incurred for those salaries and expenses 
  in the immediately preceding fiscal year.
      ``(2) The size of each reserve to be established under paragraph 
  (1) for a fiscal year shall (if applicable) be reduced by a dollar 
  amount equal to the amount by which that fiscal year's appropriation 
  for salaries and expenses is less than the actual amount incurred for 
  those salaries and expenses in the immediately preceding fiscal year.
      ``(c) Each appropriation subject to this section shall be 
  apportioned by the appropriate official referred to in section 1513 and 
  within the applicable time parameters set forth in that section.
      ``(d) The head of each agency that has an appropriation for 
  salaries and expenses for a fiscal year subject to this section shall, 
  within 60 days after the beginning of that fiscal year or within 60 
  days after the date of enactment of the law by which the appropriation 
  for that fiscal year is made available, whichever occurs later, and 
  after consultation with it chief financial officer and the Deputy 
  Director for Management (or his or her designee) of the Office of 
  Management and Budget, make recommendations to the President of changes 
  in laws or regulations or other changes that should be made to bring 
  about a more efficient and cost-effective operation and thereby reduce 
  salaries and expenditures without jeopardizing any programs that agency 
  administers.
      ``(e) The President's annual budget submission for a budget year 
  under section 1105(a) shall include a special message which sets forth 
  on an agency-by-agency basis a recommendation for the current fiscal 
  year of whether--
              ``(1) for the programs that agency administers to be 
          maintained at a proper administrative level the release of all 
          or part of those funds held in reserve under subsection (b) is 
          necessary;
              ``(2) those programs can function effectively at reduced 
          levels and the funds held in reserve under subsection (b) 
          should be rescinded and returned to the Treasury; or
              ``(3) supplemental appropriations for other programs are 
          necessary and can be offset by rescissions of the funds held in 
          reserve under subsection (b).
  If that special message recommends the option set forth in paragraph 
  (1) for any agency, then the President shall include with that special 
  message a bill that, if enacted, would release specified amounts of 
  funds held in reserve under subsection (b) as set forth in that bill.
      ``(f) Except to the extent that a law is enacted under section 1521 
  requiring the release of all or part of the money reserved under 
  subsection (b), on August 1 of the calendar year during which a fiscal 
  year ends, all funds held in any reserve under subsection (b) 
  respecting that fiscal year are hereby rescinded and shall be promptly 
  returned to the general fund of the Treasury.
  ``Sec. 1521. Fast-track supplemental appropriation of amounts not to 
                exceed aggregate amount rescinded under section 1520
      ``(a)(1) Before the close of the second legislative day of the 
  House of Representatives after the date of receipt of a special message 
  transmitted to Congress under section 1520(e), the majority leader or 
  minority leader of the House of Representatives shall introduce (by 
  request) the draft bill accompanying that special message. If the bill 
  is not introduced as provided in the preceding sentence, then, on the 
  third legislative day of the House of Representatives after the date of 
  receipt of that special message, any Member of that House may introduce 
  the bill.
      ``(2) The bill shall be referred to the Committee on Appropriations 
  of the House of Representatives. The committee shall report the bill 
  with or without recommendation. The bill shall be reported not later 
  than the seventh legislative day of that House after the date of 
  receipt of that special message. If the Committee on Appropriations 
  fails to report the bill within that period, that committee shall be 
  automatically discharged from consideration of the bill, and the bill 
  shall be placed on the appropriate calendar.
      ``(3) During consideration under this subsection, any Member of the 
  House of Representatives may move to strike any provision of the bill 
  or offer an amendment to reduce any amount proposed to be released.
      ``(4) A vote on final passage of the bill shall be taken in the 
  House of Representatives on or before the close of the 10th legislative 
  day of that House after the date of the introduction of the bill in 
  that House. If the bill is passed, the Clerk of the House of 
  Representatives shall cause the bill to be engrossed, certified, and 
  transmitted to the Senate within one calendar day of the day on which 
  the bill is passed.
      ``(5)(A) A motion in the House of Representatives to proceed to the 
  consideration of a bill under this section shall be highly privileged

  nor shall it be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the 
  motion is agreed to or disagreed to.
      ``(B) Debate in the House of Representatives on a bill under this 
  section shall not exceed 4 hours, which shall be divided equally 
  between those favoring and those opposing the bill. A motion further to

  to recommit a bill under this section or to move to reconsider the vote 
  by which the bill is agreed to or disagreed to.
      ``(C) Appeals from decisions of the Chair relating to the 
  application of the Rules of the House of Representatives to the 
  procedure relating to a bill under this section shall be decided 
  without debate.
      ``(D) Except to the extent specifically provided in the preceding 
  provisions of this subsection, consideration of a bill under this 
  section shall be governed by the Rules of the House of Representatives.
      ``(6)(A) A bill transmitted to the Senate pursuant to paragraph (4) 
  shall be referred to its Committee on Appropriations. The committee 
  shall report the bill with or without recommendation. The bill shall be 
  reported not later than the seventh legislative day of the Senate after 
  it receives the bill. A committee failing to report the bill within 
  such period shall be automatically discharged from consideration of the 
  bill, and the bill shall be placed upon the appropriate calendar.
      ``(B) During consideration under this subsection, any Member of the 
  Senate may move to strike any provision of the bill or offer an 
  amendment to reduce any amount proposed to be released.
      ``(C) A vote on final passage of a bill transmitted to the Senate 
  shall be taken on or before the close of the 10th legislative day of 
  the Senate after the date on which the bill is transmitted. If the bill 
  is passed in the Senate without amendment, the Secretary of the Senate 
  shall cause the engrossed bill to be returned to the House of 
  Representatives.
      ``(7)(A) A motion in the Senate to proceed to the consideration of 
  a bill under this subsection shall be privileged and not debatable. An 
  amendment to the motion shall not be in order, nor shall it be in order 
  to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or 
  disagreed to.
      ``(B) Debate in the Senate on a bill under this subsection, and all 
  debatable motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall not exceed 
  10 hours. The time shall be equally divided between, and controlled by,

  connection with a bill under this section shall be limited to not more 
  than 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the 
  mover and the manager of the bill, except that in the event the manager 
  of the bill is in favor of any such motion or appeal, the time in 
  opposition thereto, shall be controlled by the minority leader or his 
  designee. Such leaders, or either of them, may, from time under their 
  control on the passage of a bill, allot additional time to any Senator 
  during the consideration of any debatable motion or appeal.
      ``(D) A motion in the Senate to further limit debate on a bill 
  under this subsection is not debatable. A motion to recommit a bill 
  under this section is not in order.
      ``(b) Amendments and Divisions.--No amendment to a bill considered 
  under this section shall be in order in either the House of 
  Representatives or the Senate except an amendment to strike a provision 
  of the bill or to reduce an amount proposed to be restored by the bill. 
  It shall not be in order to demand a division of the question in the 
  House of Representatives (or in a Committee of the Whole) or in the 
  Senate. No motion to suspend the application of this subsection shall 
  be in order in either House, nor shall it be in order in either House 
  to suspend the application of this subsection by unanimous consent.
      ``(c) Requirement to Make Available for Obligation.--Any amount of 
  budget authority proposed to be restored in a special message 
  transmitted to Congress under section 1520(e) shall be made available

  restore such amount of budget authority is enacted into law unless it 
  has been automatically rescinded under that section.
      ``(d) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term 
  `legislative day' means, with respect to either House of Congress, any
