    ``(2) If--
            ``(A) a general appropriation bill as reported by the

        amended and that bill as passed by the House reduces the amount 
        appropriated for any program, project, or activity from the 
        amount appropriated for that program, project, or activity in 
        that bill as so reported; and
            ``(B) that bill as passed by the Senate reduces the amount

        in that bill as reported initially in the House of 
        Representatives;
then, upon the passage of that bill by both Houses of Congress, the 
suballocations for that fiscal year made by each Committee on 
Appropriations under subsection (b)(1) to the subcommittee with 
jurisdiction over that measure shall be reduced by the sum of the 
lesser amount of reductions made for each such program, project, or 
activity by the House of Representatives or the Senate, as the case may 
be, and that committee shall report to its House--
            ``(i) an adjusted suballocation for that subcommittee with 
        the appropriate reductions in levels of total new budget 
        outlays and total new budget authority; and
            ``(ii) an adjusted allocation for the committee that is 
        reduced by the reductions in new budget outlays and new budget 
        authority made under clause (i).
    ``(3) Further Adjustments of Appropriations Committees Allocations 
and Suballocations.--Upon the enactment of any rescission bill, the 
suballocations for that fiscal year made by each Committee on 
Appropriations under subsection (b)(1) to any subcommittee with
