                                    U.S. House of Representatives,


                                      Committee on the Budget,

                                     Washington, DC, July 8, 2013.
       Mr. Ryan of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to section 
     314(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I hereby 
     submit for printing in the Congressional Record revisions to 
     the aggregate budget levels and committee allocations set 
     forth pursuant to H. Con. Res. 25, the Concurrent Resolution 
     on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2014, as put into effect by H. 
     Res. 243. The revisions are for new budget authority and 
     outlays consistent with a technical correction to the FY2014 
     discretionary spending caps allowed under the Budget Control 
     Act of 2011 as published by the Office of Management and 
     Budget on May 20, 2013. A corresponding table showing the 
     revised budget aggregates and allocations is attached. A 
     letter from the Director of the Office of Management and 
     Budget that further explains the technical correction is also 
     attached.
       This revision represents an adjustment for purposes of 
     enforcing sections 302 and 311 of the Budget Act. For the 
     purposes of the Budget Act, these revised allocations are to 
     be considered as allocations included in the levels of the 
     budget resolution, pursuant to section 101 of H. Con. Res. 25 
     and H. Rept. 113-17, as adjusted.
           Sincerely,
                                        Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin,
                                 Chairman, House Budget Committee.

         Executive Office of the President,


                              Office of Management and Budget,

                                     Washington, DC, June 5, 2013.
     Hon. Paul Ryan,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: This letter responds to your May 21, 
     2013, request for additional information on the corrections 
     made to the OMB Sequestration Preview Report to the President 
     and Congress for Fiscal Year 2014 and the OMB Report to the 
     Congress on the Joint Committee Reductions for Fiscal Year 
     2014. The corrections addressed computational errors OMB 
     identified in some of the underlying calculations and 
     resulted in no net change in the total reduction required by 
     section 251A of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
     Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA), as amended.
       The attached table lists, for each direct spending account 
     that was corrected, the originally calculated baseline and 
     sequester amounts, the corrected baseline and sequester 
     amounts, and the amount of the change. As shown at the bottom 
     of Table 3 of the corrected version of the OMB Report to the 
     Congress on the Joint Committee Reductions for Fiscal Year 
     2014, the corrections have the net effect of increasing the 
     sequestration of non-defense direct spending outlays for 
     Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 to $18.058 billion. The corrections 
     also expand the sequestrable base, which lowers the 
     sequestration percentage for non-defense direct spending from 
     7.3 percent to 7.2 percent.
       Finally, I can confirm that as a result of these 
     corrections, the non-defense discretionary cap for FY 2014 is 
     $469.391 billion. The defense discretionary cap for FY 2014 
     is $498.082 billion. These amounts are shown in Table 2 of 
     the corrected version of the OMB Sequestration Preview Report 
     to the President and Congress for Fiscal Year 2014.
       If you have any questions, please contact Kristen J. Sarri, 
     Associate Director for Legislative Affairs, at (202) 395-
     4790.
           Sincerely,
                                                Sylvia M. Burwell,
                                                         Director.
       Enclosure.
