                       BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

  Mr. GREGG. 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 2005 
budget through May 25, 2005. The estimates of budget authority, 
outlays, and revenues are consistent with the technical and economic 
assumptions of the 2006 Concurrent Resolution on the Budget, H. Con. 
Res. 95.
  The estimates show that current level spending is under the budget 
resolution by $5.106 billion in budget authority and by $72 million in 
outlays in 2005. Current level for revenues is $407 million above the 
budget resolution in 2005.
  This is my first report for fiscal 2005 and I ask unanimous consent 
to have it printed with the Record corrections to the Senate Committee 
Allocation tables published on pages 88 and 89 of House Report 109-62, 
the Report to accompany H. Con. Res. 95, the Concurrent Resolution on 
the Budget for Fiscal Year 2006. The allocation amounts for the Finance 
Committee contained small numerical errors. The tables display the 
corrected Senate Committee allocations.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                     Washington, DC, May 26, 2005.
     Hon. Judd Gregg,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, U.S. Senate, Washington, 
         DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed tables show the effect of 
     Congressional action on the 2005 budget and are current 
     through May 25, 2005. 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 
     for fiscal year 2005 that underlie H. Con. Res. 95, the 
     Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2006. 
     This is my first report for fiscal year 2005.
           Sincerely,
                                             Elizabeth M. Robinson
                              (For Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Director).

\1\ H. Con. Res. 95, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal
  Year 2006, assumed the enactment of emergency supplemental
  appropriations for fiscal year 2005, in the amount of $81,811 million
  in budget authority and $32,121 million in outlays, which would be
  exempt from the enforcement of the budget resolution. Since current
  level excludes the emergency appropriations in P.L. 109-13 (see
  footnote 2 of Table 2), the amounts specified in the budget resolution
  have also been reduced for purposes of comparison.
\2\ Current level is the estimated effect on revenue and spending of all
  legislation that the Congress has enacted or sent to the President for
  his approval. In addition, full-year funding estimates under current
  law are included for entitlement and mandatory programs requiring
  annual appropriations even if the appropriations have not been made.

\2\ Pursuant to section 402 of H. Con. Res. 95, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2006,
  provisions designated as emergency requirements are exempt from enforcement of the budget resolution. As a
  result, the current level excludes $83,140 million in budget authority and $33,034 million in outlays from the
  Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005
  (P.L. 109-13).
