     REVISIONS TO ALLOCATION FOR HOUSE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Nussle) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. NUSSLE. Mr. Speaker, Pursuant to Sec. 314 of the Congressional 
Budget Act and Sec. 221(c) of H. Con. Res. 83, the concurrent 
resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2002, I submit for printing in 
the Congressional Record revisions to the allocations for the House 
Committee on Appropriations.
  Adoption of the conference report on H.R. 2216, the bill making 
supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2001, reverses the 
$184,000,000 outlay adjustment for fiscal year 2002 that was required 
upon the reporting of that bill by the Appropriations Committee. The 
conference report on the supplemental did not include any emergency-
designated appropriations, which necessitated the earlier adjustment.
  As reported to the House, H.R. 2620, the bill making appropriations 
for Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, and Independent 
Agencies for fiscal year 2002, includes an emergency-designated 
appropriations providing $1,300,000,000 in new budget authority to the 
Federal Emergency Management Agency. No outlays are expected to flow 
from that budget authority in fiscal year 2002. Under the provisions of 
both the Budget Act and the budget resolution, I must adjust the 302(a) 
allocations and budgetary aggregates upon the reporting of a bill 
containing emergency appropriations.
  As passed by the House, H.R. 2590, the bill making appropriations for 
the Department of Treasury, the Postal Service, and General Government 
for fiscal year 2002, included $146,000,000 in new budget authority and 
$143,000,000 in outlays for an earned income tax credit compliance 
initiative. I also must adjust the 302(a) allocations and budgetary 
aggregates upon the reporting of a bill containing appropriations for 
that purpose, up to the limits specified in the Budget Act (which are 
the same as the amounts shown above).
  To reflect these required adjustments, I hereby increase the 302(a) 
allocation to the House Committee on Appropriations to $662,746,000,000 
for budget authority and $682,919,000,000 for outlays. The increase in 
the allocation also requires an increase in the budgetary aggregates to 
$1,627,934,000,000 for budget authority and $1,590,617,000,000 for 
outlays.
  These adjustments apply while the relevant legislation is under 
consideration and take effect upon final enactment of such legislation. 
Questions may be directed to Dan Kowalski at 67270.
