the following3  7#a7 ,sequestration was 
designed as a forcing mechanism for an  
agreement on a comprehensive deficit    
reduction plan4 ,it has failed to       
produce the intended results4  7#b7 ,the
 ,budget ,control ,act of #bjaa was     
enacted to avert a default on ,federal  

debt obligations4  7#c7 ,because the    
,joint ,select ,committee on ,deficit   
,reduction failed to recommend          
legislation providing an additional #a4b
 trillion in deficit reduction1 ,federal
 law mandates that the additional       
savings be sequestered4  7#d7 ,congress 
must enact a comprehensive1 deficit     
reduction plan to solve the country's   
fiscal challenges and to promote        
national security1 economic stability1  
and the continued growth and prosperity 
of the ,united ,states4  7#e7 ,it no

,government and to the economy are too  
great4  7#f7 ,under sequestration1

housing1 innovation1 small business     
development1 and many other facets of   
enduring national strength4  7#g7 ,even 
the prospect of sequestration is        
disruptive to regular order and to the  
congressional appropriations process1   
and it fosters damaging economic        
uncertainty1 while short-term solutions 
only suspend the prospect and continue  
to undermine the certainty needed for   
economic recovery4  7b7 ,purposes ,the  
purposes of this ,act are to-- 7#a7

the failure of the ,joint ,select
