  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the

  Mr. SPRATT. Mr. Speaker, under section 303(b) 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 the House Committee on Ways and 
Means for fiscal year 2008, and the period of 2008 through 2012. This 
revision represents an adjustment to certain House committee budget 
allocation 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. 3996, 
The Temporary Tax Relief 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.
                                               John M. Spratt, Jr.
