  STATUS REPORT ON CURRENT SPENDING LEVELS OF ON-BUDGET SPENDING AND 
   REVENUES FOR FY 2005 AND THE 5-YEAR PERIOD FY 2005 THROUGH FY 2009

  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, I am transmitting a status report on the 
current levels of on-budget spending and revenues for fiscal year 2005 
and for the five-year period of fiscal years 2005 through 2009. This 
report is necessary to facilitate the application of sections 302 and 
311 of the Congressional Budget Act. This status report is current 
through September 2, 2005.
  The term ``current level'' refers to the amounts of spending and 
revenues estimated for each fiscal year based on laws enacted or 
awaiting the President's signature.
  The first table in the report compares the current levels of total 
budget authority, outlays, and revenues with the aggregate levels set 
forth by H. Con. Res. 95, the conference report on the budget 
resolution. This comparison is needed to enforce section 311(a) of the 
Budget Act, which creates a point of order against measures that would 
breach the budget resolution's aggregate levels. The table does not 
show budget authority and outlays for years after fiscal year 2005 
because those years are not considered for enforcement of spending 
aggregates.
  The second table compares, by authorizing committee, the current 
levels of budget authority and outlays for discretionary action with 
the ``section 302(a)'' allocations made under H. Con. Res. 95 for 
fiscal year 2005 and fiscal years 2005 through 2009. ``Discretionary 
action'' refers to legislation enacted after the adoption of the budget 
resolution. This comparison is needed to enforce section 302(f) of the 
Budget Act, which creates a point of order against measures that would 
breach the section 302(a) discretionary action allocation of new budget 
authority for the committee that reported the measure. It is also 
needed to implement section 311(b), which exempts committees that 
comply with their allocations from the point of order under section 
311(a).
  The third table compares the current levels of budget authority and 
outlays for discretionary appropriations for fiscal year 2005 with the 
total of ``section 302(b)'' suballocations among Appropriations 
subcommittees. The comparison is needed to enforce section 302(f) of 
the Budget Act, which creates a point of order against measures 
reported by the Appropriations Committee that would breach its section 
302(a) discretionary action allocation of new budget authority.

                            BUDGET AUTHORITY

       Enactment of measures providing new budget authority for FY 
     2005 in excess of $1,922,000,000 (if not already included in 
     the current level estimate) would cause FY 2005 budget 
     authority to exceed the appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 
     95.


                                OUTLAYS

       Enactment of measures providing new outlays for FY 2005 (if 
     not already included in the current level estimate) would 
     cause FY 2005 outlays to further exceed the appropriate level 
     set by H. Con. Res. 95.


                                REVENUES

       Enactment of measures that would reduce revenue for FY 2005 
     in excess of $447,000,000 (if not already included in the 
     current level estimate) would cause revenues to fall below 
     the appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 95.
       Enactment of measures resulting in revenue reduction for 
     the period of fiscal years 2005 through 2009 in excess of 
     $76,686,000,000 (if not already included in the current level 
     estimate) would cause revenues to fall below the appropriate 
     levels set by H. Con. Res. 95.

                                      Congressional Budget Office,


                                                U.S. Congress,

                                   Washington, DC, Sept. 15, 2005.
     Hon. Jim Nussle,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the fiscal year 2005 budget and is 
     current through September 2, 2005. This report is submitted 
     under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 ofthe 
     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 
     Concucrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2006. 
     Pursuant to section 402 of that resolution, provisions 
     designated as emergency requirements are exempt from 
     enforcement of the budget resolution. As a result, the 
     enclosed current level report excludes these amounts (see 
     footnote 2 of the report).
       Since my last letter, dated July 12, the Congress has 
     cleared and the President has signed the following acts that 
     affect budget authority, outlays, or revenues for fiscal year 
     2005:
       The Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2005, Part III 
     (Public Law 109-35);
       The Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2005, Part IV 
     (Public Law 109-37);
       An act approving the renewal of import restrictions 
     contained in the Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act of 2005 
     (Public Law 109-39);
       The Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2005, Part V 
     (Public Law 109-40);
       The Interior Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-54);
       The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58);
       The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation 
     Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (Public Law 109-59); and
       The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act to Meet 
     Immediate Needs Arising from the Consequences of Hurricane 
     Katrina, 2005 (Public Law 109-61).
       The effects of the actions listed above are detailed in the 
     enclosed report.
           Sincerely,
                                              Douglas Holtz-Eakin,
                                                          Director

  status report on current spending levels of on-budget spending and 
    revenues for fy 2006 and the 5-year period fy 2006 through 2010

  Mr. NUSSLE. Mr. Speaker, I am transmitting a status report on the 
current levels of on-budget spending and revenues for fiscal year 2006 
and for the five-year period of fiscal years 2006 through 2010. This 
report is necessary to facilitate the application of sections 302 and 
311 of the Congressional Budget Act and section 401 of the conference 
report on the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2006 
(H. Con. Res. 95). This status report is current through September 2, 
2005.
  The term ``current level'' refers to the amounts of spending and 
revenues estimated

[[Page H8070]]

for each fiscal year based on laws enacted or awaiting the President's 
signature.
  The first table in the report compares the current levels of total 
budget authority, outlays, and revenues with the aggregate levels set 
forth by H. Con. Res. 95. This comparison is needed to enforce section 
311(a) of the Budget Act, which creates a point of order against 
measures that would breach the budget resolution's aggregate levels. 
The table does not show budget authority and outlays for years after 
fiscal year 2006 because those years are not considered for enforcement 
of spending aggregates.
  The second table compares, by authorizing committee, the current 
levels of budget authority and outlays for discretionary action with 
the ``section 302(a)'' allocations made under H. Con. Res. 95 for 
fiscal year 2006 and fiscal years 2006 through 2010. ``Discretionary 
action'' refers to legislation enacted after the adoption of the budget 
resolution. This comparison is needed to enforce section 302(f) of the 
Budget Act, which creates a point of order against measures that would 
breach the section 302(a) discretionary action allocation of new budget 
authority for the committee that reported the measure. It is also 
needed to implement section 311(b), which exempts committees that 
comply with their allocations from the point of order under section 
311(a).
  The third table compares the current levels of discretionary 
appropriations for fiscal year 2006 with the ``section 302(b)'' 
suballocations of discretionary budget authority and outlays among 
Appropriations subcommittees. The comparison is also needed to enforce 
section 302(f) of the Budget Act because the point of order under that 
section equally applies to measures that would breach the applicable 
section 302(b) suballocation as well as the 302(a) allocation.
  The fourth table gives the current level for 2007 of accounts 
identified for advance appropriations under section 401 of H. Con. Res. 
95. This list is needed to enforce section 401 of the budget 
resolution, which creates a point of order against appropriation bills 
or amendments thereto that contain advance appropriations that are: (i) 
not identified in the statement of managers or (ii) would cause the 
aggregate amount of such appropriations to exceed the level specified 
in the resolution.

                            BUDGET AUTHORITY

       Enactment of measures providing new budget authority for FY 
     2006 in excess of $789,850,000,000 (if not already included 
     in the current level estimate) would cause FY 2006 budget 
     authority to exceed the appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 
     95.


                                OUTLAYS

       Enactment of measures providing new outlays for FY 2006 in 
     excess of $495,621,000,000 (if not already included in the 
     current level estimate) would cause FY 2006 outlays to exceed 
     the appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 95.


                                REVENUES

       Enactment of measures that would reduce revenue for FY 2006 
     in excess of $17,308,000,000 (if not already included in the 
     current level estimate) would cause revenues to fall below 
     the appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 95.
       Enactment of measures resulting in revenue reduction for 
     the period of fiscal years 2006 through 2010 in excess of 
     $96,252,000,000 (if not already included in the current level 
     estimate) would cause revenues to fall below the appropriate 
     levels set by H. Con. Res. 95.

                                      Congressional Budget Office,


                                                U.S. Congress,

                                   Washington, DC, Sept. 15, 2005.
     Hon. Jim Nussle,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear: Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects 
     of Congressional action on the fiscal year 2006 budget and is 
     current through September 2, 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 
     Concucrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2006. 
     Pursuant to section 402 of that resolution, provisions 
     designated as emergency requirements are exempt from 
     enforcement of the budget resolution. As a result, the 
     enclosed current level report excludes these amounts (see 
     footnote 2 of the report).
       Since my last letter, dated July 12, the Congress has 
     cleared and the President has signed the following acts that 
     affect budget authority, outlays, or revenues for fiscal year 
     2006:
       An act approving the renewal of import restrictions 
     contained in the Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act of 2005 
     (Public Law 109-39);
       The Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free 
     Trade Agreement Implementation Act (Public Law 109-53);
       The Interior Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-54);
       The Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 
     109-55);
       The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58);
       The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation 
     Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (Public Law 109-59); and
       The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act to Meet 
     Immediate Needs Arising from the Consequences of Hurricane 
     Katrina, 2005 (Public Law 109-61).
       The effects of the actions listed above are detailed in the 
     enclosed report.
           Sincerely,
                                              Douglas Holtz-Eakin,
                                                         Director.
       Enclosure.
