 Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, 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 
allocation for the Appropriations Committee to reflect new budget 
authority and outlays provided for the renewal of expiring contracts 
for tenant- and project-based housing assistance under section 8 of the 
United States Housing Act of 1937.

Congressional Budget Act.
