        the appropriate subcommittee of that committee made under 
        section 602(b)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 by 
        the net amount of reductions in new budget authority resulting 
        from amendments agreed to by the House to that bill, and
            ``(ii) reduce the suballocation of outlays made under 
        section 602(b)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to 
        the appropriate subcommittee of that committee by the net 
        amount of reductions in outlays resulting from amendments 
        agreed to by the House to that bill,
and promptly report those revisions to the House.
    ``(B) The reductions in suballocations made under subdivision (A) 
may not be reallocated by the Committee on Appropriations to any other 
subcommittee.
    ``(C) In the House of Representatives, the revised suballocations 
made under subdivision (A) shall be deemed to be suballocations made 
under section 602(b)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.''.
    (b) Clause 4(b) of rule XI of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives is amended by adding at the end the following new

by the Committee on Appropriations under paragraph (a), the chairman of 
the Committee on the Budget shall make appropriate revisions in the 
allocations to the Committee on Appropriations to reflect the revised 
suballocations and report those revisions to the House. In the House of 
Representatives, those revised allocations shall be deemed to be 
allocations made under section 602(a)(1) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974.''.
