  STATUS REPORT ON CURRENT SPENDING LEVELS OF ON-BUDGET SPENDING AND 
   REVENUES FOR FY 2008 AND THE 5-YEAR PERIOD FY 2009 THROUGH FY 2013

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Spratt) is recognized for 5 minutes.

[[Page H3684]]

  Mr. SPRATT. Mr. Speaker, I am transmitting a status report on the 
current levels of on-budget spending and revenues for fiscal years 2008 
and 2009 and for the five-year period of fiscal years 2009 through 
2013. This report is necessary to facilitate the application of 
sections 302 and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act and sections 301 
and 302 of S. Con. Res. 70, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
Fiscal Year 2009.
  The term ``current level'' refers to the amounts of spending and 
revenues estimated for each fiscal year based on laws enacted or 
awaiting the President's signature.
  The first table in the report compares the current levels of total 
budget authority, outlays, and revenues with the aggregate levels set 
by S. Con. Res. 70. This comparison is needed to enforce section 311(a) 
of the Budget Act, which establishes a point of order against any 
measure that would breach the budget resolution's aggregate levels.
  The second table compares the current levels of budget authority and 
outlays for each authorizing committee with the ``section 302(a)'' 
allocations made under S. Con. Res. 70 for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 
and fiscal years 2009 through 2013. This comparison is needed to 
enforce section 302(f) of the Budget Act, which establishes a point of 
order against any measure that would breach the section 302(a) 
discretionary action allocation of new budget authority for the 
committee that reported the measure.
  The third table compares the current levels of discretionary 
appropriations for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 with the ``section 
302(a)'' allocation of discretionary budget authority and outlays to 
the Appropriations Committee. This comparison is needed to enforce 
section 302(f) of the Budget Act, which establishes a point of order 
against any measure that would breach section 302(b) sub-allocations 
within the Appropriations Committee.
  The fourth table gives the current level for fiscal years 2010 and 
2011 for accounts identified for advance appropriations under section 
302 of S. Con. Res. 70. This list is needed to enforce section 302 of 
the budget resolution, which establishes a point of order against 
appropriations bills that include advance appropriations that: (1) are 
not identified in the joint statement of managers; or (2) would cause 
the aggregate amount of such appropriations to exceed the level 
specified in the resolution.

n.a. = Not applicable because annual appropriations Acts for fiscal
  years 2010 through 2013 will not be considered until future sessions
  of Congress.
\1\ Notes for 2008:
Current resolution aggregates include $108,056 million in budget
  authority and $28,901 million in outlays covered by section 301(b)(1)
  (overseas deployments and related activities) that has not been
  allocated to a committee. The section was not triggered by
  Appropriations action.
\2\ Notes for 2009:
Current resolution aggregates include $70,000 million in budget
  authority and $74,809 million in outlays covered by section 301(b)(1)
  (overseas deployments and related activities) that has not been
  allocated to a committee. The section has not been triggered to date
  in Appropriations action.
Current resolution 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(6)(2)).
Current level does not include costs associated with Division A of the
  Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. CBO was not able to estimate the
  cost of those provisions at the time the bill was enacted. CBO has
  produced estimates for their January, 2009 baseline incorporating the
  latest information on operations of the program as well as their most
  recent economic forecast. Although the full cost of Division A under
  these assumptions is not available, CBO has provided an estimate that
  the TARP will cost $184 billion in 2009.

                            budget authority

       Enactment of measures providing new budget authority for FY 
     2009 in excess of $35,993 million (if not already included in 
     the current level estimate) would cause FY 2009 budget 
     authority to exceed the appropriate level set by S. Con. Res. 
     70.


                                outlays

       Enactment of measures providing new outlays for FY 2009 in 
     excess of $41,591 million (if not already included in the 
     current level estimate) would cause FY 2009 outlays to exceed 
     the appropriate level set by S. Con. Res. 70.


                                revenues

       Revenues for FY 2009 are below the appropriate levels set 
     by S. Con. Res. 70.
       Enactment of measures resulting in revenue reduction for 
     the period of fiscal years 2009 through 2013 in excess of 
     $233,713 million (if not already included in the current 
     level estimate) would cause revenues to fall below the 
     appropriate levels set by S. Con. Res. 70.

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                    Washington, DC, March 18, 2009
     Hon. John M. Spratt, Jr.,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, House of Representatives, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the fiscal year 2008 budget and 
     reflects activity through September 30, 2008. This report is 
     submitted under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of 
     the Congressional Budget Act, as amended.
       The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues 
     are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of 
     S. Con. Res. 70, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2009, as approved by the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives.
       Since the last letter, dated September 9, 2008, the 
     Congress has cleared and the President has signed the 
     Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing 
     Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 110-329). Division B of 
     the act provided $22.9 billion for disaster relief and 
     recovery for 2008; the entire amount was designated as an 
     emergency requirement pursuant to Sec. 301(b)(2) of S. Con. 
     Res. 70. Amounts so designated are exempt from enforcement of 
     the budget resolution. As a result, the enclosed current 
     level report excludes these amounts (see footnote 2 of the 
     report).

[[Page H3686]]

       This is the final current level letter for fiscal year 
     2008.
           Sincerely,
                                             Douglas W. Elmendorf,
                                                         Director.

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                   Washington, DC, March 18, 2009.
     Hon. John M. Spratt, Jr.,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, House of Representatives, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the fiscal year 2009 budget and is 
     current through March 11, 2009. This report is submitted 
     under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the 
     Congressional Budget Act, as amended.
       The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues 
     are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of 
     S. Con. Res. 70, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2009, as approved by the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives.
       Pursuant to section 301(b)(2) of S. Con. Res. 70, 
     provisions designated as emergency requirements are exempt 
     from enforcement of the budget resolution. As a result, the 
     enclosed current level report excludes those amounts (see 
     footnote 3 of the report).
       Since the last letter, dated September 9, 2008, the 
     Congress has cleared and the President has signed the 
     following acts that affect budget authority, outlays, and 
     revenues for fiscal year 2009:

       SSI Extension for Elderly and Disabled Refugees Act (Public 
     Law 110-328);
       Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing 
     Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 110-329);
       Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2008, Part 
     II (Public Law 110-330);
       An act to provide authority for the Federal Government to 
     purchase and insure certain types of troubled assets . . . 
     and for other purposes (Public Law 110-343);
       Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions 
     Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-351);
       QI Program Supplemental Funding Act of 2008 (Public Law 
     110-379);
       Veterans' Benefits Improvement Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-
     389);
       An act to amend the commodity provisions of the Food, 
     Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 . . . and for other 
     purposes (Public Law 110-398);
       Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417);
       Inmate Tax Fraud Prevention Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-
     428);
       Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-432);
       An act to extend the Andean Trade Preference Act, and for

       Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2008 (Public Law 
     110-449);
       Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 (Public 
     Law 110-458);

     111-5); and
       Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111-8).
           Sincerely,
                                             Douglas W. Elmendorf,
                                                         Director.

  Congress during the second session of the 110th Congress, but before the adoption of S. Con. Res. 70, the
  Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2009: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
  2008 (P.L. 110-181), Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-185), Andean Trade Preference Extension Act of
  2008 (P.L. 110-191), Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-227), Consolidated
  Natural Resources Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-229), Strategic Petroleum Reserve Fill Suspension and Consumer Act of
  2008 (P.L. 110-232), Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-233), Food, Conservation, and

  Earnings Assistance and Relief Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-245).
\2\ At the time of enactment of P.L. 110-343, and thus for the purposes of current level, the Congressional
  Budget Office could not estimate the direct spending for Division A of this Act, the largest part of which is
  the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). CBO's January 2009 baseline includes an estimate of $184 billion in
  budget authority and outlays for the TARP,
\3\ Pursuant to section 301(6)(2) of S. Con. Res. 70, provisions designated as emergency requirements are exempt
  from enforcement of the budget resolution. The amounts so designated for fiscal year 2009, which are not
  included in the current level totals, are as follows:

\4\ For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the House, the budget resolution
  does not include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts. As a result, current level
  excludes these items.
\5\ The scoring for P.L. 110-318, an act to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to restore the Highway Trust
  Fund, does not change current level totals. P.L. 110-318 appropriated approximately $8 billion to the Highway
  Trust Fund. The enactment of this bill followed an announcement by the Secretary of Transportation on
  September 5, 2008, of an interim policy to slow down payments to states from the Highway Trust Fund. The
  Congressional Budget Office estimates that P.L. 110-318 will reverse this policy and restore payments to
  states at levels already assumed in current level. Thus, no change is required.
\6\ Periodically, the House Committee on the Budget revises the totals in S. Con. Res. 70, pursuant to various
  provisions of the resolution:

  Revised Budget Resolution............................          2,548,974          2,575,718          2,033,460
\7\ In previous current level reports, the House Committee on the Budget directed CBO to exclude funding for
  overseas deployment and related activities of $70 billion in budget authority and about $75 billion in outlays
  from the budget resolution totals. Although this funding is not available under any committee's 302(a)
  allocation, it is technically available under section 311 of S. Con. Res. 70. Therefore, the committee has
  withdrawn the direction to exclude the funding in this report.
\8\ S. Con. Res. 70 assumed emergency amounts of $5,761 million in budget authority and $1,152 million in
  outlays for the Corps of Engineers. Because section 301(b)(2) requires that the current level exclude amounts
  for emergency needs, the House Committee on the Budget has directed that these amounts be excluded from the
  budget resolution aggregates in the current level report.
