                       BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

  Mr. SASSER. Mr. President, I hereby submit to the Senate the budget 
scorekeeping report prepared by the Congressional Budget Office under 
section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974, as amended. This report meets the requirements for Senate 
scorekeeping of section 5 of Senate Concurrent Resolution 32, the first 
concurrent resolution on the budget for 1986.
  This report shows the effects of congressional action on the budget 
through March 11, 1994. The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and 
revenues, which are consistent with the technical and economic 
assumptions of the concurrent resolution on the budget (H. Con. Res. 
287), show that current level spending is below the budget resolution 
by $4.4 billion in budget authority and $0.7 billion in outlays. 
Current level is $0.1 billion above the revenue floor in 1994 and below 
by $30.3 billion over the 5 years, 1994-98. The current estimate of the 
deficit for purposes of calculating the maximum deficit amount is 
$312.1 billion, $0.7 billion below the maximum deficit amount for 1994 
of $312.8 billion.
  There has been no action that affects the current level of budget 
authority, outlays, or revenues since the last report, dated March 8, 
1994.
  There being no objection, the report was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:
                                      Congressional Budget Office,


                                                U.S. Congress,

                                   Washington, DC, March 15, 1994.
     Hon. Jim Sasser,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, U.S. Senate, Washington, 
         D.C.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The attached report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the 1994 budget and is current 
     through March 11, 1994. The estimates of budget authority, 
     outlays, and revenues are consistent with the technical and 
     economic assumptions of the Concurrent Resolution on the 
     Budget (H. Con. Res. 64). This report is submitted under 
     Section 308(b) and in aid of Section 311 of the Congressional 
     Budget Act, as amended, and meets the requirements for Senate 
     scorekeeping of Section 5 of S. Con. Res. 32, the 1986 First 
     Concurrent Resolution on the Budget.
       Since my last report, dated March 7, 1994, there has been 
     no action that affects the current level of budget authority, 
     outlays, or revenues.
           Sincerely,
                                                     James L. Blum
                                       (For Robert D. Reischauer).
