                       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 2006 
budget through September 21, 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. Pursuant to section 402 of that resolution, provisions 
designated as emergency requirements are exempt from enforcement of the 
budget resolution. As a result, the attached report excludes these 
amounts.
  The estimates show that current level spending is under the budget 
resolution by $795.5 billion in budget authority and by $494.6 billion 
in outlays in 2006. Current level for revenues is $17.3 billion above 
the budget resolution in 2006.
  This is my first report for fiscal year 2006.
  I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record the attached 
letter and accompanying documentation.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                               Washington, DC, September 22, 2005.
     Hon. Judd Gregg,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, U.S. Senate, Washington, 
         DC.
       Dear Chairman: The enclosed tables show the effects of 
     Congressional action on the 2006 budget and are current 
     through September 21, 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 2006 that underlie H. Con. Res. 95, the 
     Concurrent 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 1 of the report).
       This is my first report for fiscal year 2006.
           Sincerely,
                                              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 2006, in the amount of $50 billion in
  budget authority and approximately $62.4 billion 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,
  P.L. 109-61, P.L. 106-62, H.R. 3672, and H.R. 3768 (see footnote 1 on
  Table 2), the budget authority and outlay totals specified in the
  budget resolution have also been reduced (by the amounts assumed for
  emergency supplemental appropriations) 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.

\1\ 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 ofthe budget resolution. As a
  result, the current level excludes: $30,757 million in outlays from the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations
  Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005 (P.L. 109-13); $7,750 million in outlays
  from the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act to Meet Immediate Needs Arising From the Consequences of
  Hurricane Katrina, 2005 (P.L. 109-61); $21,841 million in outlays from the Second Emergency Supplemental
  Appropriations Act to Meet Immediate Needs Arising From the Consequences of Hurricane Katrina, 2005 (P.L. 109-
  62); $200 million in budget authority and $245 million in outlays from the TANF Emergency Response and
  Recovery Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-68); and -$3,191 million in revenues and $128 million in budget authority and
  outlays from the Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 (H.R. 3768).
\2\ Excludes administrative expenses of the Social Security Administration, which are off-budget.
\3\ H. Con. Res. 95, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2006, assumed the enactment of
  emergency supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2006, in the amount of $50,000 million in budget
  authority and $62,424 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, P.L. 109-61 and P.L. 106-62 (see
  footnote 1 above), the budget authority and outlay totals specified in the budget resolution have also been
  reduced (by the amounts assumed for emergency supplemental appropriations) for purposes of comparison.
