                       CHANGES TO S. CON. RES. 21

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, section 308(a) of S. Con. Res. 21, the 
2008 budget resolution, permits the chairman of the Senate Budget 
Committee to revise the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate 
levels and limits in the resolution for energy legislation that meets 
certain conditions, including that such legislation not worsen the 
deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2007 through 2012 
or the period of the total of fiscal years 2007 through 2017.
  I find that H.R. 6, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, 
satisfies the conditions of the deficit-neutral reserve fund for energy 
legislation. Therefore, pursuant to section 308(a), I am adjusting the 
aggregates in the 2008 budget resolution, as well as the allocation 
provided to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
  I ask unanimous consent to have the following revisions to S. Con. 
Res. 21 printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
