 CHANGES TO THE 2002 APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE ALLOCATION AND BUDGETARY 
                               AGGREGATES

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, section 314 of the Congressional Budget 
Act, as amended, requires the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee 
to adjust the budgetary aggregates and the allocation for the 
Appropriations Committee by the amount of appropriations designated as 
emergency spending pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended. The 
conference report to H.R. 2217, the Interior and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, provides $400 million in designated emergency 
funding in 2002 for wildland fire management. That budget authority 
will result in new outlays in 2002 of $289 million.
  Pursuant to section 302 of the Congressional Budget Act, I hereby 
revise the 2002 allocation provided to the Senate Appropriations 
Committee in the concurrent budget resolution in the following amounts.
  Pursuant to section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act, I hereby 
revise the 2002 budget aggregates included in the concurrent budget 
resolution in the following amounts.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to print tables 1 and 2 in the 
Record, which reflect the changes made to the committee's allocation 
and to the budget aggregates.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
