                       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 January 25, 2006. 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 $14.015 billion in budget authority and by $379 million 
in outlays in 2006. Current level for revenues is $17.286 billion above 
the budget resolution in 2006.
  Since my last report, dated November 18, 2005, the Congress has 
cleared and the President has signed the following acts that changed 
budget authority, outlays, or revenues: Military Quality of Life and 
Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2006, P.L. 109-114; 
Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, 
the District of Columbia, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 
2006, P.L. 109-115; Valles Caldera Preservation Act of 2005, P.L. 109-
132; Naval Vessels Transfer Act of 2005, P.L. 109-134; An act to 
provide certain authorities to the Department of State, P.L. 109-140; 
Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005, P.L. 109-144; 
Department of Defense, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations to Address 
Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic Influenza Act, 2006, 
P.L. 109-148; Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and 
Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006, P.L. 109-149; 
Second Higher Education Extension Act of 2005, P.L. 109-150; Employee 
Retirement Preservation Act, P.L. 109-151; TANF and Child Care 
Continuation Act of 2005, P.L. 109-161; National Defense Authorization 
Act for 2006, P.L. 109-163; and, United States-Bahrain Free Trade 
Agreement Implementation Act, P.L. 109-169.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                                    U.S. Congress,
                                 Washington, DC, January 26, 2006.
     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 2006 budget and are current 
     through January 25, 2006. 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 on Table 2).
       Since my last letter, dated November 17, 2006, the Congress 
     has cleared and the President has signed the following acts 
     that changed budget authority, outlays, or revenues:
       Military Quality of Life and Veterans Affairs 
     Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-114);
       Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, 
     the Judiciary, the District of Columbia, and Independent 
     Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-115);
       Valles Caldera Preservation Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-
     132);
       Naval Vessels Transfer Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-134);
       An act to provide certain authorities to the Department of 
     State (Public Law 109-140);
       Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 (Public Law 
     109-144);
       Department of Defense, Emergency Supplemental 
     Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, 
     and Pandemic Influenza Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-148);
       Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and 
     Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 
     (Public Law 109-149);
       Second Higher Education Extension Act of 2005 (Public Law 
     109-150);
       Employee Retirement Preservation Act (Public Law 109-151);
       TANF and Child Care Continuation Act of 2005 (Public Law 
     109-161);
       National Defense Authorization Act for 2006 (Public Law 
     109-163); and
       United States-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement Implementation 
     Act (Public Law 109-169).
       The effects of the actions listed above are detailed in the 
     enclosed tables.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Donald B. Marron,
                                                  Acting Director.
       Enclosure.

Source: Congressional Budget Office.
Note: * = Less than $50 million.
\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
  the current level totals exclude the emergency appropriations in
  Public Laws 109-13, 109-61, 109-62, 109-68, 109-73, 109-77, 109-88,
  109-106, 109-114, 109-135, and 109-148 (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.
\3\ Excludes administrative expenses of the Social Security
  Administration, which are off-budget.
\4\ The Employee Retirement Preservation Act (Public Law 109-151) has a
  loss of revenue of $1 million.

\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 the current level totals exclude the emergency appropriations in P.L. 109-13, P.L. 109-61, P.L. 109-62,
  P.L. 109-68, P.L. 109-73, P.L. 109-77, P.L. 109-88, P.L. 109-106, P.L. 109-114, P.L. 109-135, and P.L. 109-148
  (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.
