    COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET 
  REGARDING CURRENT LEVELS OF SPENDING AND REVENUES FOR FISCAL YEARS 
                                1995-99

  (Mr. SABO asked and was given permission to extend his remarks at 
this point in the Record and to include extraneous matter.)
  Mr. SABO. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Committee on the Budget and 
pursuant to sections 302 and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act, I am 
submitting for printing in the Congressional Record an updated report 
on the current levels of on-budget spending and revenues for fiscal 
year 1995 and for the 5-year period fiscal year 1995 through fiscal 
year 1999.
  This report is to be used in applying the fiscal year 1995 budget 
resolution (H. Con. Res. 218), for legislation having spending or 
revenue effects in fiscal years 1995 through 1999. I am also submitting 
today a separate report dealing with the current levels of spending and 
revenues for fiscal year 1994, to be used in applying the fiscal year 
1994 budget resolution (H. Con. Res. 64).

                                         House of Representatives,


                                      Committee on the Budget,

                                    Washington, DC, July 13, 1994.
     Hon. Thomas S. Foley,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: To facilitate application of sections 302 
     and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act, I am transmitting a 
     status report on the current levels of on-budget spending and 
     revenues for fiscal year 1995 and for the 5-year period 
     fiscal year 1995 through fiscal year 1999.
       The term ``current level'' refers to the amounts of 
     spending and revenues estimated for each fiscal year based on 
     laws enacted or awaiting the President's signature as of June 
     30, 1994.
       The first table in the report compares the current levels 
     of total budget authority, outlays, and revenues with the 
     aggregate levels set by H. Con. Res. 218, the concurrent 
     resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1995. This 
     comparison is needed to implement section 311(a) of the 
     Budget Act, which creates a point of order against measures 
     that would breach the budget resolution's aggregate levels. 
     The table does not show budget authority and outlays for 
     years after fiscal year 1995 because appropriations for those 
     years will not be considered this session.
       The second table compares the current levels of budget 
     authority, outlays, and new entitlement authority for each 
     direct spending committee with the ``section 602(a)'' 
     allocations for discretionary action made under H. Con. Res. 
     218 for fiscal year 1995 and for fiscal years 1995 through 
     1999. ``Discretionary action'' refers to legislation enacted 
     after adoption of the budget resolution. This comparison is 
     needed to implement section 302(f) of the Budget Act, which 
     creates a point of order against measures that would breach 
     the section 602(a) discretionary action allocation of new 
     budget authority or entitlement authority for the committee 
     that reported the measure. It is also needed to implement 
     section 311(b), which exempts committees that comply with 
     their allocations from the point of order under section 
     311(a). The section 602(a) allocations are printed in the 
     conference report on H. Con. Res. 218 (H. Rept. 103-490).
       The third table compares the current levels of 
     discretionary appropriations for fiscal year 1995 with the 
     revised ``section 602(b)'' suballocations of discretionary 
     budget authority and outlays among Appropriations 
     subcommittees. This comparison is also needed to implement 
     section 302(f) of the Budget Act, since the point of order 
     under that section also applies to measures that would breach 
     the applicable section 602(b) suballocation. The revised 
     section 602(b) suballocations were filed by the 
     Appropriations Committee on June 9, 1994 (H. Rept. 103-539).
       The aggregate appropriate levels and allocations reflect 
     the adjustment required by section 25 of H. Con. Res. 218 
     relating to additional funding for the Internal Revenue 
     Service compliance initiative.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Martin Olav Sabo,
                                                         Chairman.
       Enclosures.
                                  ____

                            budget authority

       Enactment of measures providing more than $508.694 billion 
     in new budget authority for FY 1995 (if not already included 
     in the current level estimate) would cause FY 1995 budget 
     authority to exceed the appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 
     218.


                                outlays

       Enactment of measures providing new budget or entitlement 
     authority that would increase FY 1995 outlays by more than 
     $301.383 billion (if not already included in the current 
     level estimate) would cause FY 1995 outlays to exceed the 
     appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 218.


                                revenues

       Enactment of any measure producing any net revenue loss in 
     FY 1995 (if not already included in the current level 
     estimate) would cause FY 1995 revenues to fall below the 
     appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 218.
       Enactment of any measure producing any net revenue loss for 
     the period FY 1995 through FY 1999 (if not already included 
     in the current level estimate) would cause revenues for that 
     period to fall further below the appropriate level set by H. 
     Con. Res. 218.

                                    Washington, DC, July 13, 1994.
     Hon. Martin O. Sabo,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: Pursuant to section 308(b) and in aid of 
     section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act, as amended, this 
     letter and supporting detail provide an up-to-date tabulation 
     of the on-budget current levels of new budget authority, 
     estimated outlays, and estimated revenues for fiscal year 
     1995 in comparison with the appropriate levels for those 
     items contained in the 1995 Concurrent Resolution on the 
     Budget (H. Con. Res. 218), and is current through June 30, 
     1994. A summary of this tabulation follows:

Revenues:

  1995-1999......................    5,393,058    5,415,200      -22,142
------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Since my last report, dated June 13, 1994, Congress 
     approved and the President signed the Independent Counsel 
     Reauthorization Act (P.L. 103-270). Congress has also 
     approved for the President's signature the 1994 FHA 
     Supplemental (H.R. 4568) and the Legislative Branch 
     Appropriations bill (H.R. 4454). These actions changed the 
     current level of budget authority and outlays.
           Sincerely,
                                             Robert D. Reischauer,
                                                         Director.
