                   FURTHER CHANGES TO S. CON. RES. 70

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, pursuant to sections 221(f) and 227 of S. 
Con. Res. 70, I previously filed adjustments to the 2009 budget 
resolution for H.R. 6331, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and 
Providers Act of 2008. Those adjustments reflected the Congressional 
Budget Office's estimate at that time of the budgetary effects of H.R. 
6331.
  CBO has since revised that estimate. While H.R. 6331 still meets the 
conditions required for the release of the reserve funds under sections 
221(f) and 227, including being fully paid for over both the 6- and 11-
year time periods, the net effect of CBO's revisions is to

lower the estimated net savings of the legislation.
  Consequently, I am revising the adjustments made on July 9 pursuant 
to sections 221(f) and 227 to both the budgetary aggregates and the 
allocation provided to the Senate Finance Committee to reflect CBO's 
revised scoring.
  I ask unanimous consent that the following revisions to S. Con. Res. 
70 be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
