                        HON. JOHN M. SPRATT, JR.

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 24, 2008

  Mr. SPRATT. Madam Speaker, under section 220 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 aggregates for the period of fiscal years 2009 through 2013. 
This is in response to consideration of the bills HR 7005 (Alternative 
Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008) and HR 7006 (Disaster Tax Relief Act of 
2008). A table is attached.
  Under section 323 of S. Con. Res. 70, this adjustment to the budget 
allocations and aggregates applies while the measure is under 
consideration. 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.

n.a. = Not applicable because annual appropriations Acts for fiscal years 2010 through 2013 will not be
  considered until future sessions of Congress.
\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)).
