                         BUDGETARY ADJUSTMENTS

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I previously filed committee allocations 
and budgetary aggregates pursuant to section 106 of the Budget Control 
Act of 2011. Today, I am adjusting some of those levels, specifically 
the allocation to the Committee on Appropriations for fiscal year 2012 
and the budgetary aggregates for fiscal year 2012.
  Section 101 of the Budget Control Act allows for various adjustments 
to the statutory limits on discretionary spending, while section 106(d) 
allows the chairman of the Budget Committee to make revisions to 
allocations, aggregates, and levels consistent with those adjustments. 
The Committee on Appropriations recently reported three bills that are 
eligible for adjustments under the Budget Control Act. Consequently, I 
am making adjustments to the 2012 allocation to the Committee on 
Appropriations and to the 2012 aggregates for spending by a total of 
$11.896 billion in budget authority and $5.108 billion in outlays. 
Those adjustments reflect the sum of $2.3 billion in budget authority 
and $513 million in outlays for funding designated for disaster relief, 
$8.703 billion in budget authority and $3.821 billion in outlays for 
funding designated as being for overseas contingency operations, and 
$893 million in budget authority and $774 million in outlays for 
program integrity initiatives. The two program integrity initiatives 
for which adjustments are in order under the Budget Control Act are 
continuing disability reviews and redeterminations and health care 
fraud and abuse control.
  I ask unanimous consent that the following tables detailing the 
changes to the allocation to the Committee on Appropriations and the 
budgetary aggregates be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
