                       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 July 26, 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 $4.986 billion in budget authority and by $27 million in 
outlays in 2005. Current level for revenues is $407 million above the 
budget resolution in 2005.
  Since my last report dated June 30, 2005, the Congress has cleared 
and the President has signed the TANF Extension Act of 2005, P.L. 109-
19, the Surface Transportation Act of 2005, Part II, P.L. 109-20, the 
Surface Transportation Act of 2005, Part III, P.L. 109-35, and the 
Surface Transportation Act of 2005, Part IV, P.L. 109-37 which changed 
budget authority and outlays.
  I ask unanimous consent that the 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, July 28, 2005.
     Hon. Judd Gregg,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed tables show the effects of 
     Congressional action on the 2005 budget and are current 
     through July 26, 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.
       Since my last letter, dated June 29, 2005, the Congress has 
     cleared and the President has signed the following acts that 
     changed budget authority, outlays, or revenues:
       TANF Extension Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-19); Surface 
     Transportation Extension Act of 2005, Part II (Public Law 
     109-20); Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2005, Part 
     III (Public Law 109-35); and Surface Transportation Extension 
     Act of 2005, Part IV (Public Law 109-37).
       In addition, a correction was made to the final scoring of 
     the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-
     14). The estimate of budget authority was reduced by $28 
     million 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.
 
Note: * = less than $50 million.

\1\ The effects of an act to provide for the proper tax treatment of certain disaster mitigation payments (P.L.
  109-7) and the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-8) are included in
  this section of the table, consistent with the budget resolution assumptions.
\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).
\3\ Excludes administrative expenses of the Social Security Administration, which are off-budget.
\4\ 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), the amounts
  specified in the budget resolution have also been reduced for purposes of comparison.
