  STATEMENT ON CURRENT STATUS OF FISCAL YEAR 1998 APPROPRIATIONS BILLS

 Mr. DOMENICI. With the completion of congressional action on 
the 13 annual fiscal year 1998 appropriations bills, I submit a table 
to the Senate showing the current status of the bills compared to the 
most recently filed Section 302(b) allocations by the Senate 
Appropriations Committee on November 13, 1997.
  I note that the Interior and related agencies Appropriations bill 
under the current 302(b) allocation is over the subcommittee's 
allocation for both budget authority and outlays. A provision in the 
final Interior appropriations bill amends the budget resolution to 
trigger the allocation of an additional $700 million in budget 
authority and $257 million in outlays to the Appropriations Committee 
for land acquisition. I have filed that allocation today.
  Once the Senate Appropriations Committee revises its 302(b) 
allocations to reflect the land acquisition funding, the Interior and 
related agencies appropriations bill will be within the subcommittee's 
funding allocation.
  I ask to have printed in the Record the pertinent tables.
  The material follows:
