S.Res. 579 — A resolution affirming the importance of the Social Security program to the people of the United States and expressing the sense of the Senate that Social Security must be preserved, protected, and strengthened for current and future generations.

This section expresses the sense of the Senate that (1) it reaffirms its bipartisan commitment to preserving and protecting the Social Security program for current and future generations, (2) an automatic across-the-board cut in benefits must be avoided to prevent disruption to the retirement security of tens of millions of people, and (3) Congress should work in a bipartisan manner to enact legislation ensuring the program's long-term solvency and protecting seniors, individuals with disabilities, and families.
