REVISED 602 ALLOCATIONS AND REVISED ALLOCATIONS IN NEW BUDGET AUTHORITY 
               FOR THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Kasich] is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. KASICH. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to the Personal Responsibility and 
Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act of 1996, Public Law 104-193, I 
hereby submit revised 602 allocations and other appropriate budgetary 
levels. Subsection 211(d)(5) of Public Law 104-193 amends section 
103(b) of the Contract with America Advancement Act of 1996, Public Law 
104-121, which provided for an adjustment in the various budgetary 
levels established by budget resolutions to accommodate additional 
appropriations for conducting continuing disability reviews [CDR's] 
under the supplemental security income program.
  Public Law 104-121 directed the chairman of the Committee on the 
Budget to revise the discretionary spending limits, 602(a) allocations, 
and the appropriate budgetary aggregates when the Appropriations 
Committee reports an appropriations measure that provides additional 
new budget authority and additional outlays to pay for the costs of 
continuing disability reviews.
  The Committee on Appropriations has reported H.R. 105-2264, a bill 
making appropriations for the Departments of Health & Human Services, 
Labor, and Education, and related agencies for fiscal year 1998. This 
legislation provides $245,000,000 in budget authority for continuing 
disability reviews. The resulting outlays are $232,000,000.
  The revised allocations and other budgetary levels are as follows:
