     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.
  As reported to the House, H.R. 3061, the bill making appropriations 
for the Department of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, 
and Related Agencies for fiscal year 2002, includes an emergency-
designated appropriation providing $300,000,000 in new budget authority 
for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. Outlays totaling 
$75,000,000 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.
  In addition, the bill contains appropriations for continuing 
disability reviews (CDRs) and adoption assistance payments. The CDR 
appropriation provides $433,000,000 in new budget authority and 
$381,000,000 in outlays in fiscal year 2002. The adoption assistance 
appropriation provides $20,000,000 in new budget authority and 
$3,000,000 in outlays this year. I also must adjust the 302(a) 
allocations and budgetary aggregates upon the reporting of a bill 
containing appropriations for those purposes, up to the limits 
contained in the Budget Act. The amounts provided by the appropriations 
bill are within those limits.
  To reflect these required adjustments, I hereby increase the 302(a) 
allocation to the House Committee on Appropriations to $663,499,000,000 
for budget authority and $683,378,000,000 for outlays. The increase in 
the allocation also requires an increase in the budgetary aggregates to 
$1,628,687,000,000 for budget authority and $1,591,076,000,000 for 
outlays.
  These adjustments apply while the legislation is under consideration 
and take effect upon final enactment of such legislation. Questions may 
be directed to Dan Kowalski at 67270.
