  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the

  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

report to accompany the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations and 
Rescissions Act for fiscal year 1999, adjusts the allocation for the 
House Committee on Appropriations to reflect $12,782,000,000 in 
additional new budget authority and $3,582,000,000 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arrearages that were rescinded by the conference report for H.R. 1141. 
Overall, the allocation to the Appropriations Committee will increase 
to $585,555,000,000 in budget authority and $580,059,000,000 in outlays 
for fiscal year 1999.
