     SEC. __. REPORT ON EFFECTS OF DEFENSE AND NONDEFENSE BUDGET 
                   SEQUESTRATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The inability of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit 
     Reduction to find $1,200,000,000,000 in savings will trigger 
     automatic funding reductions known as ``sequestration'' to 
     raise an equivalent level of savings between 2013 and 2021.
       (2) These savings are in addition to $900,000,000,000 in 
     deficit reduction resulting from discretionary spending 
     limits established by the Budget Control Act of 2011.
       (b) Report.--
       (1) In general.--As soon as practicable, the Office of 
     Management and Budget shall submit to Congress a detailed 
     report on the impact of the sequestration required to be 
     ordered by paragraphs (7)(A) and (8) of section 251A of the 
     Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 
     U.S.C. 901a) for fiscal year 2013 on January 2, 2013.
       (2) Elements.--The report required by paragraph (1) shall 
     include the following:
       (A) For discretionary appropriations an estimate for the 
     defense and nondefense functions based on current law of the 
     sequestration percentages and amount necessary to achieve the 
     required reduction.
       (B) For direct spending an estimate for the defense and 
     nondefense functions based on current law of the 
     sequestration percentages and amount necessary to achieve the 
     required reduction.
       (C) Any other data or information that would enhance public 
     understanding of the sequester and its effect on the defense 
     and nondefense functions of the Federal Government including 
     the impact on essential public safety responsibilities such 
     as homeland security, food safety, and air traffic control 
     activities.
