                       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 December 18, 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 under the budget 
resolution by $131.3 billion in budget authority and by $55.0 billion 
in outlays. Current level is $43 million below the revenue floor in 
1996 and $0.7 billion below the revenue floor 

[[Page S19012]]
over the 5 years 1996-2000. The current estimate of the deficit for 
purposes of calculating the maximum deficit amount is $190.7 billion, 
$54.9 billion above the maximum deficit amount for 1996 of $245.6 
billion.
  Since my last report, dated December 7, 1995, Congress cleared for 
the President's signature the Commerce, State, Justice, and the 
Judiciary Appropriations Act (H.R. 2076). These actions, and the 
expiration of continuing resolution authority on December 15, 1995, 
changed the current level of budget authority and outlays.
  The report follows:

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                Washington, DC, December 19, 1995.
     Hon. Pete V. 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 December 18, 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 December 7, 1995, Congress 
     cleared for the President's signature the Commerce, State, 
     Justice and the Judiciary Appropriations Act (H.R. 2076). 
     These actions, and the expiration of continuing resolution 
     authority on December 15, 1995, changed the current level of 
     budget authority and outlays.
           Sincerely,
                                        June E. O'Neill, Director.
