     REVISIONS TO ALLOCATION FOR HOUSE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS

  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. Madam Speaker, under sections 308 (b) (1) and 309 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 fiscal year 2008, 
and the period of 2008 through 2012 for several House Committees. These 
revisions represent an adjustment to blouse 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 a 
further House amendment to the Senate Amendment to the bill H.R. 6, The 
CLEAN Energy 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.
