LIMITS, APPROPRIATE BUDGETARY AGGREGATES, AND APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE

 Mr. DOMENICI. Section 203 of House Concurrent Resolution 84, 
the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1998, allows 
the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee to adjust the 
Appropriations Committee's allocation contained in the most recently 
adopted budget resolution--in this case, House Concurrent Resolution 
84--to reflect an appropriation for the renewal of expiring contracts 
for tenant- and project-based housing assistance under section 8 of the 
U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
  Section 206 of House Concurrent Resolution 84, the concurrent 
resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1998, requires the chairman of 
the Senate Budget Committee to adjust the discretionary spending 
limits, the appropriate budgetary aggregates and the Appropriations 
Committee's allocation contained in the most recently adopted budget 
resolution--in this case, House Concurrent Resolution 84--to reflect 
additional new budget authority and outlays for an appropriation for 
arrearages for international organizations, international peacekeeping, 
and multilateral development banks.
