                       BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

 Mr. DOMENICI. 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 September 8, 1995. 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. 
218), show that current level spending is below the budget resolution 
by $20.9 billion in budget authority and $2.0 billion in outlays. 
Current level is $0.5 billion over the revenue floor in 1995 and below 
by $9.5 billion over the 5 years 1995-99. The current estimate of the 
deficit for purposes of calculating the maximum deficit amount is 
$237.4 billion, $3.7 billion below the maximum deficit amount for 1995 
of $241 billion.
  Since my last report, dated August 8, 1995, there has been no action 
to change the current level of budget authority, outlays, or revenues.
  This submission also includes my first report for fiscal year 1996.
  The material follows:
                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                               Washington, DC, September 11, 1995.
     Hon. Pete Domenici,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, U.S. Senate, Washington, 
         DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The attached report for fiscal year 1995 
     shows the effects of Congressional action on the 1995 budget 
     and is current through September 8, 1995. The estimates of 
     budget authority, outlays and revenues are consistent with 
     the technical and economic assumptions of the 1995 Concurrent 
     Resolution on the Budget (H. Con. Res. 218). This report is 
     submitted under Section 308(b) and in aid of Section 311 of 
     the Congressional Budget Act, as amended, and meet the 
     requirements of Senate scorekeeping of Section 5 of S. Con. 
     Res. 32, the 1986 First Concurrent Resolution on the Budget.
       Since my last report, dated August 7, 1995, there has been 
     no action to change the current level of budget authority, 
     outlays, or revenues.
           Sincerely,
                                                     James L. Blum
                                  (for June E. O'Neill, Director).
