 CHANGES TO THE 2002 APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE ALLOCATION AND BUDGETARY 
                               AGGREGATES

  Mr. CONRAD. Madam 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. 2620, the Departments of Veterans Affairs and 
Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations 
Act of 2002, provides $1.5 billion in designated emergency funding in 
2002 for FEMA disaster relief. Because that budget authority is not 
estimated to result in any new outlays in 2002, the adjustment made 
herein is for budget authority only.
  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

[[Page S11547]]

the concurrent budget resolution in the following amounts.
  I ask 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:
