   CHANGES TO THE 2002 APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS AND THE 
                          BUDGETARY AGGREGATES

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, section 314 of the Congressional Budget 
Act, as amended, requires that 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. 4775, the 2002 Supplemental Appropriations 
Act for Further Recovery From and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the 
United States, provides $29.886 billion in designated emergency funding 
2002 for a variety of activities, including homeland security and the 
war on terrorism, which is estimated to result in $7.783 billion in 
outlays in 2002.
  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.
