                       BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I hereby submit to the Senate the budget 
scorekeeping report prepared by the Congressional Budget Office under 
Section 308(b) and in aid of Section 311 of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974, as amended.
  This report shows the effects of congressional action on the 2002 
budget through September 11, 2002. The estimates, which are consistent 
with the technical and economic assumptions of H. Con. Res. 83, the 
Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for fiscal year 2002, show that 
current level spending in 2002 is below the budget resolution by $12.1 
billion in budget authority and by $18.8 billion in outlays. Current 
level revenues are below the revenue floor by $0.4 billion in 2002.
  I ask unanimous consent to print the following in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                               Washington, DC, September 13, 2002.
     Hon. Kent Conrad,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The attached tables show the effects of 
     Congressional action on the 2002 budget and are current 
     through September 11, 2002. This report is submitted under 
     section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the Congressional 
     Budget Act, as amended.
       The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues 
     are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of 
     H. Con. Res. 83, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2002.
       Since my last report dated May 22, 2002, the Congress has 
     cleared and the President has signed the following acts that 
     changed budget authority, outlays, or revenues for 2002: the 
     Mychal Judge Police and Fire Chaplains Public Safety Officer 
     Benefits Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-196), the 2002 Supplemental 
     Appropriations Act for Further Recovery From and Response to 
     Terrorist Attacks on the United States (P.L. 107-206), and 
     the Trade Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-210). The effects of these 
     actions are identified in Table 2. At the request of the 
     Budget Committee, the funds designated as contingent 
     emergencies in P.L. 107-206 have been removed from current 
     level. The President announced that these funds will not be 
     released.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Barry B. Anderson
                                    (For Dan L. Cippen, Director.)
