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.

(P.L. 109-13).

Since current level excludes the emergency appropriations in P.L. 109-13 (see footnote 2), the amounts
specified in the budget resolution have also been reduced for purposes of comparison.
