SALE OF GOVERNMENT ASSETS

SEC. 5. (a) It is the sense of the Congress that

(1) from time to time the United States Government should sell assets to nongovernment buyers; and

(2) the amounts realized from such asset sales will not recur on an annual basis and do not reduce the demand for credit. (b) For purposes of allocations and points of order under section 302 of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the amounts realized from asset sales or prepayments of loans shall not be allocated to a committee and shall not be scored with respect to the level of budget authority or outlays under a committee's allocation under section 302 of that Act.

(c) For purposes of reconciliation under section 310 of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the amounts realized from asset sales or prepayments of loans shall not be scored with respect to the level of budget authority, outlays, contributions, or revenues reconciled under a concurrent resolution on the budget. (d) For purposes of this section

(1) the terms "asset sale" and "prepayment of a loan" shall have the same meaning as under section 257(12) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985; and

(2) the terms "asset sale" and "prepayment of a loan" do not include asset sales mandated by law before September 18, 1987, and routine, ongoing asset sales and loan prepayments at levels consistent with agency operations in fiscal year 1986.

(b) Upon the reporting of legislation pursuant to subsection (a), and again upon the submission of a conference report on such legislation (if such a conference report is submitted), the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate may file with the Senate 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 considered for the purposes of such Act as allocations, functional levels, and aggregates contained in this resolution. The Committee on Finance shall report revised allocations pursuant to section 302(b) of such Act for the appropriate fiscal year (or years) to carry out this section.

SPOUSE ABUSE-STATUTORY PRESUMPTION IN
CHILD CUSTODY LITIGATION

Whereas State courts have often failed to recognize the detrimental
effects of having as a custodial parent an individual who phys-
ically abuses his or her spouse, insofar as the courts do not hear or
weigh evidence of domestic violence in child custody litigation;
Whereas there is an alarming bias against battered spouses in
contemporary child custody trends such as joint custody and
mandatory mediation;

Whereas joint custody guarantees the batterer continued access and
control over the battered spouse's life through their children;
Whereas joint custody forced upon hostile parents can create a
dangerous psychological environment for a child;

Whereas a batterer's violence toward an estranged spouse often
escalates during or after a divorce, placing both the abused spouse
and children at risk through shared custody arrangements and
unsupervised visitation;

Whereas physical abuse of a spouse is relevant to child abuse in
child custody disputes;

Whereas the effects of physical abuse of a spouse on children include
actual and potential emotional and physical harm, the negative
effects of exposure to an inappropriate role model, and the poten-
tial for future harm where contact with the batterer continues;
Whereas children are emotionally traumatized by witnessing phys-
ical abuse of a parent;

Whereas children often become targets of physical abuse themselves
or are injured when they attempt to intervene on behalf of a
parent;

Whereas even children who do not directly witness spousal abuse
are affected by the climate of violence in their homes and experi-
ence shock, fear, guilt, long lasting impairment of self-esteem, and
impairment of developmental and socialization skills;

Whereas research into the intergenerational aspects of domestic
