                            BUDGET REVISIONS

  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 2013 
and the budgetary aggregates for fiscal year 2013.
  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 reported four bills that are eligible 
for adjustments under the Budget Control Act. Consequently, I am making 
adjustments to the 2013 allocation to the Committee on Appropriations 
and to the 2013 aggregates for spending by a total of $9.245 billion in 
budget authority and $2.385 billion in outlays. Those adjustments 
reflect the sum of $5.648 billion in budget authority and $403 million 
in outlays for funding designated for disaster relief, $2.547 billion 
in budget authority and $1.075 billion in outlays for funding 
designated as being for overseas contingency operations, and $1.050 
billion in budget authority and $907 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:
