MEDICARE SAVINGS
SEC. 10.

SENSE OF SENATE ON INCOME TAX RATES
SEC. 11. (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate findsCD the Tax Reform Act of 1986 was enacted only after nearly two years of congressional study and deliberation, (2) the most fundamental principle of tax reform has been the reduction or elimination of special tax benefits in order to reduce tax rates for all taxpayers, and (3) taxpayers have a right to expect Congress to hold to its promise to reduce tax rates in return for elimination of special tax benefits, rather than to use tax reform as a disguised effort to raise taxes. (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate that the assumptions underlying the revenue levels of this budget resolution will not be achieved by either raising or delaying the individual or corporate income tax rates provided in the Tax Reform Act of 1986. RURAL HOSPITALS MEDICARE PROGRAMS
SEC. 12. It is the sense of the Congress that, in enacting any legislation that amends the Medicare Program to reconcile its expenditures with those required under a congressional concurrent resolution on the Federal budget for fiscal year 1988 and subsequent years, there should be taken into account the special needs of rural hospitals which are not currently taken into account under the Medicare Hospital Prospective Payment System, SECTION 302 (a) ALLOCATION IN THE HOUSE
SEC. 13. The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives may file, not later than July 1, 1987, a report in the House containing the allocations required to be made pursuant to section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. The report shall be printed as, and considered to be, a report of the Committee on the Budget and such allocations made in that report shall be considered to be the allocations required to be in the joint explanatory statement accompanying this resolution. Agreed to June 24, 1987.
