                   FURTHER CHANGES TO S. CON. RES. 70

  Mr. CONRAD. Madam President, section 223 of S. Con. Res. 70, the 2009 
budget resolution, permits the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee 
to revise the allocations, aggregates, and other levels in the 
resolution for legislation that invests in America's infrastructure, 
including rail projects. The revisions are contingent on certain 
conditions being met, including that such legislation not worsen the 
deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2008 through 2013 
or the period of the total of fiscal years 2008 through 2018.
  I find that H.R. 2095, the Federal Railroad Safety Improvement Act, 
satisfies the conditions of the reserve fund for investments in 
America's infrastructure. Therefore, pursuant to section 223, I am 
adjusting the aggregates in the 2009 budget resolution, as well as the 
allocation provided to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation 
Committee.
  I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record the following 
revisions to S. Con. Res. 70.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
