                       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 through November 19, 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 $7.0 billion in budget authority and by $11.1 billion in 
outlays in 2004. Current level for revenues is $57 million below the 
budget resolution in 2004.
  Since my last report, dated November 11, 2003, the Congress has 
cleared for the President's signature the following acts that changed 
budget authority, outlays, or revenues for 2004: the National Defense 
Authorization Act for 2004, H.R. 1588; the Military Construction 
Appropriations Act, 2004, H.R. 2559; the Energy and Water Development 
Appropriations Act, 2004, H.R. 2754; and, the District of Columbia 
Military Retirement Equity Act of 2003, H.R. 3054.
  I ask unanimous consent that the budget scorekeeping report be 
printed 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, November 20, 2003.
     Hon. Don Nickles,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed tables show the effects of 
     Congressional action on the 2004 budget and are current 
     through November 19, 2003. 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. 95, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2004, as adjusted.
       Since my last letter dated November 10, 2003, the Congress 
     has cleared for the President's signature the following acts 
     that changed budget authority, outlays, or revenues for 2004: 
     The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 
     (H.R. 1588); the Military Construction Appropriations Act, 
     2004 (H.R. 2559); the Energy and Water Development 
     Appropriations Act, 2004 (H.R. 2754); and the District of 
     Columbia Military Retirement Equity Act of 2003 (H.R. 3054).
       The effects of these actions are detailed on Table 2.
           Sincerely,
                                               Douglas Holtz-Eakin
                                                         Director.
