Relating to consideration of the Senate amendment to the bill (H.R. 4) to rescind certain budget authority proposed to be rescinded in special messages transmitted to the Congress by the President on June 3, 2025, in accordance with section 1012(a) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

Summary

Treats a previously introduced House bill as removed from the Speaker’s table and agrees to the Senate’s amendment to that bill. The Senate amendment rescinds specific budget authority that the President proposed in special messages sent to Congress on June 3, 2025 under the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, so adopting this resolution would enact those rescissions as agreed by the Senate.

• The substantive effect is to remove specified budget authority, reducing funds available to affected programs, agencies, grantees, and contractors.
• The resolution is procedural and does not itself list which programs or amounts are rescinded; those details are in the Senate amendment and the President’s messages.
• The changes take effect upon adoption by the House, subject to any subsequent enactment steps required for final legal effect.
