     REVISIONS TO THE 302(a) ALLOCATIONS AND BUDGETARY AGGREGATES 
  ESTABLISHED BY THE CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS ON THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL 
                          YEARS 2004 AND 2008

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Nussle) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. NUSSLE. Mr. Speaker, in accordance with section 411 of H. Con. 
Res. 95, I hereby submit for printing in the Congressional Record 
adjustments to the section 302(a) allocation to the House Committee on 
Transportation, set forth in H. Rept. 108-71, to reflect $3.777 billion 
in additional new budget authority for the period of fiscal years 2004 
through 2008.
  Section 411 authorizes the chairman of the Committee on the Budget to 
adjust the appropriate budget aggregates and to increase the 302(a) 
allocation of new budget authority to the Committee on Transportation 
and Infrastructure for fiscal year 2004 and for the period of fiscal 
years 2004 through 2008 to the extent such excess is offsets by a 
reduction in mandatory outlays form the Highway Trust Fund or an 
increase in receipts appropriated to such fund for the applicable 
fiscal year caused by such legislation or any previously enacted 
legislation.
  As modified by the rule, H.R. 3550 makes additional receipts 
available to the Highway Trust Fund. Accordingly, I am increasing the 
302(a) allocation to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure 
by the above amount. With the adjustment, this bill is within the level 
assumed in the two periods applicable to the House; fiscal year 2004 
and for the total of fiscal years 2004 through 2008 as required under 
section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
