                       CHANGES TO S. CON. RES. 13

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, section 311(a) of S. Con. Res. 13, the 
2010 budget resolution, permits the chairman of the Senate Budget 
Committee to adjust the allocations of a committee or committees, the 
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution for 
legislation that authorizes the Food and Drug Administration to 
regulate products and assess user fees on manufacturers and importers 
of those products to cover the cost of the regulatory activities. 
Additionally, section 307 of S. Con. Res. 13 permits the chairman to 
adjust the allocations of a committee or committees, aggregates, and 
other appropriate levels in the resolution for legislation that, among 
other things, reduces or eliminates the offset between the Survivor 
Benefit Plan annuities and veterans' dependency and indemnity 
compensation. The adjustments under both reserve funds are contingent 
on the legislation not increasing the deficit over either the period of 
the total of fiscal years 2009 through 2014 or the period of the total 
of fiscal years 2009 through 2019.
  On June 3, I made revisions to S. Con. Res. 13 pursuant to sections 
311(a) and 307 for an amendment in the nature of a complete substitute 
to H.R. 1256, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. 
The complete substitute to the House-passed bill was passed by the 
Senate on June 11 and by the House on June 12, clearing it for the 
signature of the President.
  The adjustment on June 3 was based on information provided by the 
Congressional Budget Office. Since that time, CBO has revised its 
estimate of the cost of H.R. 1256 to reflect an earlier date of 
enactment. Even with the changed date of enactment and revised 
estimate, H.R. 1256 still qualifies for reserve fund adjustments 
pursuant to sections 311(a) and 307. As a consequence, I am revising 
the adjustments I made on June 3 to reflect CBO's updated estimate. 
These revisions affect the aggregates in the 2010 budget resolution, as 
well as the allocation to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and 
Pensions Committee.
  I ask unanimous consent to have the following revisions to S. Con. 
Res. 13 printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
