                       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 April 30, 1996. 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 above the budget 
resolution by $15.5 billion in budget authority and by $14.3 billion in 
outlays. Current level is $79 million below the revenue floor in 1996 
and $5.5 billion above the revenue floor over the 5 years 1996-2000. 
The current estimate of the deficit for purposes of calculating the 
maximum deficit amount is $260.1 billion, $14.4 billion above the 
maximum deficit amount for 1996 of $245.7 billion.
  Since my last report, dated April 15, 1996, Congress has cleared and 
the President has signed the Federal Tea Tasters Repeal Act of 1996 
(P.L. 104-128), the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 
1996 (P.L. 104-132), and the Omnibus Rescission and Appropriations Act 
of 1996 (P.L. 104-134). These actions changed the current level of 
budget authority, outlays and revenues.
  The report follows:

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                      Washington, DC, May 2, 1996.
     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 April 30, 1996. 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 April 15, 1996, Congress has 
     cleared, and the President has signed the Federal Tea Tasters 
     Repeal Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-128), the Antiterrorism and 
     Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-132), and the 
     Omnibus Rescission and Appropriations Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-
     134). These actions changed the current level of budget 
     authority, outlays and revenues.
           Sincerely,
                                                  June E. O'Neill,
                                                         Director.

  of P.L. 104-121, the Contract with America Advancement Act.           
                                                                        
Note: Current level numbers are the estimated revenue and direct        
  spending effects of all legislation that Congress has enacted or sent 
  to the President for his approval. In addition, full-year funding     
  estimates under current law are included for entitlement and mandatory
  programs requiring annual appropriations even if the appropriations   
  have not been made. The current level of debt subject to limit        
  reflects the least U.S. Treasury information on public debt           
  transactions.
