BUDGETARY REVISIONS
Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I previously filed budgetary aggregates
and committee allocations for budget year 2015 pursuant to section 116
of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. Today, I am adjusting those
levels.
Section 251 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act
of 1985 establishes statutory limits on discretionary spending and
allows for various adjustments to those limits, while sections 302 and
314(a) of the Congressional Budget Act allows the Chairman of the
Budget Committee to establish and make revisions to allocations,
aggregates, and levels consistent with those adjustments. On May 22,
the Committee on Appropriations reported one bill that is eligible for
an adjustment under the Congressional Budget Act: the Agriculture,
Rural Development, FDA, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, which
includes $100 million in budget authority and $43 million in outlays
that is designated as disaster funding.
Consequently, I am revising the budgetary aggregates for 2015 by a
total of $100 million in budget authority and $43 million in outlays. I
am also revising the budget authority and outlay allocations to the
appropriations committee for 2015 by $100 million in nonsecurity budget
authority and $43 million in total outlays.
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:
