                   FURTHER CHANGES TO S. CON. RES. 70

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, section 227 of S. Con. Res. 70, the 2009 
Budget resolution, permits the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee 
to revise the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in 
the resolution for

[[Page S886]]

legislation making improvements in health care, including, under 
subsection (a), legislation that reauthorizes the State Children's 
Health Insurance Program, SCHIP. 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. In addition, section 227 limits the amount of the adjustment in 
outlays to no more than $50 billion over the period of the total of 
fiscal years 2008 through 2013.
  I find that Senate amendment No. 39, an amendment in the nature of a 
substitute to H.R. 2, the Children's Health Insurance Program 
Reauthorization Act of 2009, satisfies the conditions of the reserve 
fund to improve America's health. Therefore, pursuant to section 227, I 
am adjusting the aggregates in the 2009 budget resolution, as well as 
the allocation provided to the Senate Finance Committee.
  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:
