distribution of such judgment funds, at the end of the sixty-day
period (excluding days on which either the House of Representatives
or the Senate is not in session because of an adjournment of more
than three calendar days to a day certain) beginning on the day
such plan is submitted to the Congress, unless during such sixty-
day period a joint resolution is enacted disapproving such plans.
(b) Proposed legislation and report to Congress following
Congressional disapproval
Within thirty calendar days after the date of enactment of a
joint resolution disapproving a plan, the Secretary shall submit to
the Congress proposed legislation, together with a report thereon,
authorizing use or distribution of such funds.
(c) Successor plan previously withdrawn or amended prior to
Congressional action; consent to amendments
Within the sixty-day period and before the adoption of any

such plan: Provided, That any amendments affecting the division of
an award between two or more beneficiary entities shall be subject
to the consent of these entities as provided in section 1402(d) of
this title. Any such amended plan shall become valid at the end of
a sixty-day period beginning on the day such amendment is submitted
to the Congress, unless during such sixty-day period, a joint

valid at the end of a sixty-day period beginning on the day such
new plan is submitted to the Congress, unless during such sixty-day
period, a joint resolution is enacted disapproving such plan.
