States that the appropriate level of new budget authority is: $699,600,000,000; $778,800,000,000; and $852, 600,000,000 for fiscal years 1981, 1982, and 1983 respectively. States that the appropriate level of total budget outlays in such years is: $633,000,000,000; $709,900,000,000; and $777,700,000,000. States, in light of economic conditions, that the appropriate budget deficits are $34,700,000,000 in fiscal year 1981, $37,500,000,000 in fiscal year 1982, and $11,200,000,000 in fiscal year 1983. States that the appropriate level of the public debt is $978,600,000,000 in fiscal year 1981 with an increase in the temporary statutory debt limit of $57,700,000,000. Sets the appropriate level of the public debt in fiscal year 1982 at $1,046,100,000,000 with an increase in the temporary debt limit of $67,500,000,000. Sets the appropriate level of public debt in fiscal year 1983 of $1,061,500,000,000 with an increase in the debt limit of $15,400,000,000. Sets forth recommended levels of new budget authority and outlays for each major functional category of the budget in fiscal years 1981, 1982, and 1983. Revises the Congressional Federal Credit Budget for fiscal year 1981 to set the appropriate level for: (1) new direct loan obligations at $68,300,000,000; (2) new primary loan guarantee commitments at $75,100,000,000; and (3) new secondary loan guarantee commitments at $53,100,000,000. Allocates the appropriate levels of total Federal credit activity among the major functional categories. Expresses the sense of Congress that the following ceilings should be applied in fiscal year 1981: (1) $32,100,000,000 for off-budget lending activities; (2) $36,200,000,000 for on-budget lending activities; (3) $75,100,000,000 for new primary loan guarantee commitments; and (4) $53,100,000,000 for new secondary loan guarantee commitments. Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) the President should implement a "Zero Net Inflation Impact" policy for the regulations promulgated during the remainder of fiscal year 1981; and (2) the Director of the Congressional Budget Office should issue a periodic inflation scorekeeping report on enacted legislation and reports on the inflationary impact of bills reported by Congressional committees.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
The latest action on file does not map to a stage Civibrief recognizes, so the page will not name one. The record's own words are the reliable fact here.
The record's latest action, on November 20, 1980: Senate agreed to conference report, roll call #478 (50-38).
What is a concurrent resolution, exactly?
A concurrent resolution is how the two chambers agree on something between themselves, such as a budget framework or the date they adjourn. Both chambers adopt it, the President plays no part, and it does not carry the force of law.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
ROBERT GIAIMO (D-CT) introduced it on November 13, 1980. No cosponsors are recorded.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on November 13, 1980, 16737 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 16730 days ago, on November 20, 1980.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 96th Congress has not finished by January 3, 1981 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
That deadline applies to this measure too, even though it was never headed for the President's desk.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
