              REVISIONS TO ALLOCATION 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, 301(b), and 320(a), 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 sections 302 and 
311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended, and in 
response to the bill H.R. 3963 made in order by the Committee on Rules 
(Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007). 
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.
  Any questions may be directed to Ellen Balis or Gail Millar.
