                       BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I hereby submit to the Senate the budget 
scorekeeping report prepared by the Congressional Budget Office under 
Section 308(b) and in aid of Section 311 of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974, as amended. This report meets the requirements for Senate 
scorekeeping of Section 5 of S. Con. Res. 32, the First Concurrent 
Resolution on the Budget for 1986.
  This report shows the effects of congressional action on the budget 
through July 26, 2000. The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and 
revenues are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of 
the 2001 Concurrent Resolution on the Budget (H. Con. Res. 290), which 
replaced the 2000 Concurrent Resolution on the Budget (H. Con. Res. 
68).
  The estimates show that current level spending is above the budget 
resolution by $17.5 billion in budget authority and by $20.6 billion in 
outlays. Current level is $28 million below the revenue floor in 2000.
  Since my last report, dated June 20, 2000, the Congress has cleared, 
and the President has signed, the Military Construction Appropriations 
Act, fiscal year 2001 (P.L. 106-246). This action changed the 2000 
current level of budget authority and outlays.
  I ask unanimous consent to have a letter dated July 27, 2000 and its 
accompanying tables printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                    Washington, DC, July 27, 2000.
     Hon. Pete V. Domenici,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, U.S. Senate, Washington, 
         DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed tables show the effects of 
     Congressional action on the 2000 budget and are current 
     through July 26, 2000. This report is submitted under section 
     308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the Congressional Budget 
     Act, as amended.
       The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues 
     are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of 
     H. Con. Res. 290, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2001, which replaced H. Con. Res. 68, the 
     Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2000.
       Since my last report, dated June 20, 2000, the Congress has 
     cleared, and the President has signed, the Military 
     Construction Appropriations Act, FY2001 (Public Law 106-246). 
     This action changed budget authority and outlays.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Dan L. Crippen,
                                                         Director.
       Enclosures.
