 REVISIONS TO THE BUDGET ALLOCATIONS AND AGGREGATES FOR CERTAIN HOUSE 
COMMITTEES ON THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEARS 2008 AND 2009 AND THE PERIOD 
                   OF FISCAL YEARS 2009 THROUGH 2013

  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 211(3) of S. Con. Res. 70, 
the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for fiscal year 2009, I hereby 
submit for printing in the Congressional Record a revision to the 
budget allocations and aggregates for certain House committees for 
fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and the period of fiscal years 2009 through 
2013. This revision represents an adjustment to certain House committee 
budget allocations and aggregates for the purposes of sections 302 and 
311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended, and in 
response to consideration of the bill H.R. 6983, as expected to be 
amended on the floor (Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health 
Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008) (September 23, 2008, 9:24 AM). 
Corresponding tables are attached.
  Under section 323 of S. Con. Res. 70, 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 323 of S. Con. Res. 70 
is to be considered as an allocation included in the resolution.
  Any questions may be directed to Ellen Balis or Gail Millar at 226-
7200.

\1\ Current aggregates do not include spending covered by section 301(b)(1) (overseas deployments and related
  activities). The section has not been triggered to date in Appropriations action.
\2\ Current aggregates do not include Corps of Engineers emergency spending assumed in the budget resolution,
  which will not be included in current level due to its emergency designation (section 301 (b)(2)).
 
n.a. = Not applicable because annual appropriations Acts for fiscal years 2010 through 2013 will not be
  considered until future sessions of Congress.
