                         COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS

  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 section 310 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 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 sections 302 and 311 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended, and in response to H.R. 
4299 (Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007), 
which was made in order by the Committee on Rules. 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.
