                          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:
