                       BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

  Mr. NICKLES. 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 meets the requirements for Senate 
scorekeeping of Section 5 of S. Con. Res. 32, the First Concurrent 
Resolution on the Budget for 1986.
  This report shows the effects of congressional action on the 2004 
budget

[[Page S12529]]

through October 3, 2003. The estimates of budget authority, outlays, 
and revenues are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions 
of the 2004 Concurrent Resolution on the Budget, H. Con. Res. 95, as 
adjusted.
  The estimates show that current level spending is below the budget 
resolution by $703 million in budget authority and by $6.808 billion in 
outlays in 2004. Current level for revenues is $101 million above the 
budget resolution in 2004.
  This is my first report for fiscal year 2004.
  I ask unanimous consent to print the following letter and report in 
the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                                    U.S. Congress,
