                       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 October 10, 1995. The estimates of budget authority, outlays, 
and revenues, which are consistent with the technical and economic 
assumptions of the 1996 concurrent resolution on the budget (H. Con. 
Res. 67), show that current level spending is below the budget 
resolution by $4.3 billion in budget authority and above the budget 
resolution by $2.9 billion in outlays. Current level is $44 million 
below the revenue floor in 1996 and below by $0.7 billion over the 5 
years 1996-2000. The current estimate of the deficit for purposes of 
calculating the maximum deficit amount is $248.5 billion, $2.9 billion 
above the maximum deficit amount for 1996 of $245.6 billion.
  Since my last report, dated September 12 1995, Congress cleared for 
the President's signature the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (H.R. 
402). The Congress also cleared and the President signed the Military 
Construction Appropriations Act (Public Law 104-32), and the 1996 
Continuing Appropriations Act (Public Law 104-31). These actions 
changed the current level of budget authority and outlays.
  The material follows:
                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                 Washington, DC, October 11, 1995.
     Hon. Pete Domenici,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, U.S. Senate, Washington, 
         DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The attached report for fiscal year 1996 
     shows the effects of Congressional action on the 1996 budget 
     and is current through October 10, 1995. The estimates of 
     budget authority, outlays and revenues are consistent with 
     the technical and economic assumptions of the 1996 Concurrent 
     Resolution on the Budget (H. Con. Res. 67). This report is 
     submitted under Section 308(b) and in aid of Section 311 of 
     the Congressional Budget Act, as amended.
       Since my last report, dated September 11, 1995, Congress 
     cleared for the President's signature the Alaska Native 
     Claims Settlement Act (H.R. 402). The Congress also cleared 
     and the President signed the Military Construction 
     Appropriations Act (P.L. 104-32), and the 1996 Continuing 
     Appropriations Act (P.L. 104-31). These actions changed the 
     current level of budget authority and outlays.
           Sincerely,
                                                     James L. Blum
                                  (For June E. O'Neill, Director).
