                       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. The 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 September 15, 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 $1.9 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.
  Since the last report, dated August 16, 1994, Congress has approved 
and the President has signed the Commerce, Justice, State appropriation 
bill (Public Law 103-317) and the Social Security Independence Act of 
1994 (Public Law 103-296). These actions changed the current level of 
budget authority, outlays, and revenues.
  I ask that the report be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the report was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                               Washington, DC, September 19, 1994.
     Hon. Jim Sasser,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, U.S. Senate, Washington, 
         DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The attached report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the 1994 budget and is current 
     through September 15, 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 August 15, 1994, Congress has 
     approved and the President has signed the Commerce, Justice, 
     State appropriation bill (P.L. 103-317) and the Social 
     Security Independence Act of 1994 (P.L. 103-296). These 
     actions changed the current level of budget authority, 
     outlays, and revenues.
           Sincerely,
                                             Robert D. Reischauer,
                                                         Director.
