                       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 June 30, 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 $11.873 billion in budget authority and by $4.060 billion 
in outlays in 2006. Current level for revenues is $6.589 billion above 
the budget resolution in 2006.
  Since my last report dated May 19, 2006, Congress has cleared and the 
President has signed the following acts which have changed budget 
authority, outlays, or revenues: the Native American Technical 
Corrections Act of 2006, Public Law 109-221; the Heroes Earned 
Retirement Opportunities Act Public Law 109-227; the Emergency 
Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, 
and Hurricane Relief, 2006, Public Law 109-234; and the Mine 
Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 Public Law 109-236.
  I ask unanimous consent that the accompanying letter and material 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 10, 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 June 30, 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 2 on Table 2).
       Since my last letter dated May 18, 2006, the Congress has 
     cleared and the President has signed the following acts which 
     have changed budget authority, outlays, or revenues: the 
     Native American Corrections Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-221); 
     the Heroes Earned Retirement Opportunities Act (Public Law 
     109-227); the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for 
     Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Relief, 2006 
     (Public Law 109-234); and the Mine Improvement and New 
     Emergency Response Act of 2006 Public Law 109-236).
           Sincerely,
                                                 Donald B. Marron,
                                                  Acting Director.

Note: * = Less than $50 million.
\1\ H. Con. Res. 95, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2006, assumed $50.0 billion in
  budget authority and $62.4 billion in outlays in fiscal year 2006 from emergency supplemental appropriations.
  Such emergency amounts are exempt from the enforcement of the budget resolution. Since current-level totals
  exclude the emergency requirements enacted in the previous session and the emergency requirements in Public
  Law 109-l76, Public Law 109-208, and Public Law 109-234 (see footnote 2 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 also off-budget, but are
  appropriated annually.
