             REVISIONS TO ALLOCATIONS FOR HOUSE COMMITTEES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Spratt) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. SPRATT. Mr. Speaker, under sections 211, 304, and 320, of S. Con. 
Res. 21, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for fiscal year 2008, 
I hereby submit for printing in the Congressional Record a revision to 
the budget allocations and aggregates for certain House committees for 
fiscal years 2007, 2008, and the period of 2008 through 2012. This 
revision represents an adjustment to certain House committee budget 
allocations and aggregates for the purposes of section 302 and 311 of 
the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended, and in response to 
the bill H.R. 3668, to provide for the extension of transitional 
medical assistance (TMA) and the abstinence education program, and the 
qualifying individuals (QI) program, and for other purposes. 
Corresponding tables are attached.

  Under section 211 of S. Con. Res. 21, this adjustment to the budget 
allocations and aggregates applies while the measure is under 
consideration. The adjustments will take effect upon enactment of the 
measure. For purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as 
amended, a revised allocation made under section 211 of S. Con. Res. 21 
is to be considered as an allocation included in the resolution.
