    COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET 
 REGARDING CURRENT LEVELS OF SPENDING AND REVENUES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1994

  (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 1994.
  This report is to be used in applying the fiscal year 1994 budget 
resolution (H. Con. Res. 64), for legislation having spending or 
revenue effects in fiscal year 1994. I am also submitting today a 
separate report dealing with the current levels of spending and 
revenues for fiscal years 1995 through 1999, to be used in applying the 
fiscal year 1995 budget resolution (H. Con. Res. 218).

                                         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 an 
     updated status report on the current levels of on-budget 
     spending and revenues for fiscal year 1994.
       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. 64, the concurrent 
     resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1994. 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 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. 
     64 for fiscal year 1994. ``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 were 
     printed in the Congressional Record for March 31, 1993, on 
     pages H. 1784-87.
       The third table compares the current levels of 
     discretionary appropriations for fiscal year 1994 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 16, 1993 (H. Rept. 103-549).
           Sincerely,
                                                 Martin Olav Sabo,
                                                         Chairman.


         report to the speaker from the committee on the budget

------------------------------------------------------------------------

                            budget authority

       Enactment of measures providing more than $5.067 billion in 
     new budget authority for fiscal year 1994 (if not already 
     included in the current level estimate) would cause fiscal 
     year 1994 budget authority to exceed the appropriate level 
     set by H. Con. Res. 64.


                                outlays

       Enactment of measures providing new budget or entitlement 
     authority that would increase fiscal year 1994 outlays by 
     more than $1.309 billion (if not already included in the 
     current level estimate) would cause fiscal year 1994 outlays 
     to exceed the appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 64.


                                revenues

       Enactment of any measure producing any revenue loss in 
     fiscal year 1994 (if not already included in the current 
     level estimate) would cause fiscal year 1994 revenues to fall 
     further below the appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 64.

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                    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 
     1994 in comparison with the appropriate levels for those 
     items contained in the 1994 Concurrent Resolution on the 
     Budget (H. Con. Res. 64), and is current through June 30, 
     1994. A summary of this tabulation follows:

       Since my last report, dated June 13, 1994, Congress 
     approved for the President's signature the 1994 FHA 
     Supplemental (H.R. 4568). This action changed the current 
     level of budget authority and outlays.
           Sincerely,
                                             Robert D. Reischauer,
                                                         Director.
