    COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET, 
 REVISIONS TO AGGREGATE SPENDING LEVELS SET BY INTERIM ALLOCATIONS AND 
                    AGGREGATES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999

  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 Sec. 314 of the Congressional 
Budget Act, I hereby submit for printing in the Congressional Record 
revisions to the aggregate spending levels set by the interim 
allocations and aggregates for fiscal year 1999 printed in the Record 
on February 3, 1999, pursuant to H. Res. 5 and adjusted for H.R. 1141. 
The adjusted allocation for the House Committee on Appropriations, 
adjusted by the Kosovo & Southwest Asia Emergency Supplemental 
Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1999, reflects $11,109,000,000 in 
additional new budget authority and $2,907,000,000 in additional 
outlays for designated emergency spending. In addition, the Committee 
on Appropriations will receive $25,000,000 less in budget authority and 
$2,000,000 less in outlays for funds previously appropriated for 
arrearages that were rescinded in H.R. 1141. Overall, the allocation to 
the Appropriations Committee will increase to $584,912,000,000 in 
budget authority and $579,814,000,000 in outlays for fiscal year 1999.
  I also submit for printing in the Congressional Record an adjusted 
fiscal year 2000 allocation to the House Committee on Appropriations to 
reflect $1,838,000,000 in additional new budget authority and 
$1,774,000,000 in additional outlays for designated emergency spending. 
In addition, the outlay effect of the fiscal year 1999 budget authority 
of H.R. 1664 will result in additional outlays of $5,243,000,000 for 
fiscal year 2000. This will increase the allocation to the 
Appropriations Committee to $538,109,000,000 in budget authority and 
$577,962,000,000 in outlays for fiscal year 2000.
  The House Committee on Appropriations submitted the report on H.R. 
1664, the Kosovo & Southwest Asia Emergency Supplemental Appropriations 
Act for fiscal year 1999, which includes $11,109,000,000 in budget 
authority and $2,907,000,000 in outlays for fiscal year 1999 designated 
defense and non-defense emergency spending. H.R. 1664 includes 
$1,838,000,000 in budget authority and $7,017,000,000 in outlays for 
fiscal year 2000 designated emergency spending.
  These adjustments shall apply while the legislation is under 
consideration and shall take effect upon final enactment of the 
legislation. Questions may be directed to Art Sauer or Jim Bates at x6-
7270.
