                       RECONCILIATION SUBMISSIONS

 Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, pursuant to section 105(a) of the 
1996 budget resolution, House Concurrent Resolution 67, Senate 
committees are to submit their reconciliation recommendations to the 
Senate Budget Committee no later than September 22. While the Budget 
Committee has the discretion to report the reconciliation bill at any 
time after that date, the Budget Committee's obligation to report the 
bill to the Senate arises upon receipt of all of the committee's 
submissions. In addition, under the reconciliation procedures 
applicable this year it is particularly important that as many 
submissions be included in the reconciliation package as possible.
  It has come to my attention that the Senate Finance Committee cannot 
submit its recommendations to the Budget Committee prior to September 
29. Because the Finance Committee's submission will carry a great 
portion of the outlays reductions necessary to achieve balance and to 
obtain certification by CBO, the Senate Budget Committee will exercise 
its discretion and wait to receive Finance's submissions on September 
29 before initiating

the certification process. Any submission under section 105(a) made 
after that date, however, may be received too late to be 
included.
