CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS—JUNE 6, 1988

102 STAT. 4885

(2) the President and the Congress agree through the normal legislative process that a sufficiently dire state of emergency exists to justify specified spending levels different from those specified in the summit agreement between the President and the joint leadership of Congress (and carried out in this resolution) that do not increase the deficit for fiscal year 1989, 1990, or 1991 above the levels set forth in this resolution: Provided, That such agreed upon amounts for funding the anti-drug initiative for fiscal year 1989 shall not exceed $2,600,000,000 of new budget authority and $1,400,000,000 of outlays, (b) Upon the reporting of legislation pursuant to subsection (a), the chairmen of the Committees on the Budget of the House of Representatives and Senate may file with the House of Representatives and the Senate, respectively, appropriately revised allocations under section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 and revised functional levels and aggregates to carry out this section. Such revised allocations, functional levels, and aggregates shall be Reports. considered for the purposes of such Act as allocations, functional levels, and aggregates contained in this resolution, and the (Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate shall report revised allocations pursuant to section 302(b) of such Act for fiscal year 1989 to carry out this section.

SEC. 8. (a) The Congress finds that— (1) the war against drugs is an ongoing effort that must be continually waged and that every effort to interdict the flow of illegsil substances into the United States should be pursued; and (2) one of the most important lines of defense against the importation 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) It is the sense of the Congress that the authorizing committees of jurisdiction should consider whether it is appropriate to enact legislation providing that the private sector should be more fully utilized to perform nonemergency, nonessential Coast Guard functions, such as nonemergency towing, thereby allowing the Coast Guard to devote more resources to law enforcement, military readiness, and emergency search and rescue functions.
