   STATEMENT ON H.R. 2264, THE LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND 
            EDUCATION APPROPRIATIONS BILL, FISCAL YEAR 1998

 Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I submit the Budget Committee 
scoring of the conference report to accompany, H.R. 2264, the Labor, 
Health and Human Services, Education and related agencies 
appropriations bill for fiscal year 1998.
  The conference report provides $234.5 billion in new budget authority 
and $191.1 billion in new outlays for programs of the Departments of 
Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and related agencies.
  When adjustments are made for prior-year outlays and other completed 
actions, the bill totals $287.0 billion in budget authority and $285.3 
billion in outlays for fiscal year 1998.
  The conference report is exactly at the Senate Subcommittee's revised 
302(b) allocation for both budget authority and outlays.
  I ask to have printed in the Record a pertinent table.
  The material follows.

                                    H.R. 2264, LABOR-HHS APPROPRIATIONS, 1998
