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
to account for three reported bills from the Appropriations Committee.
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. The Committee
on Appropriations reported three bills that are eligible for an
adjustment under the Congressional Budget Act:
1) The State, Foreign Operations, and Related Agencies Appropriations
Act, which includes $8.625 billion in budget authority and $2.5 billion
in outlays that is designated as Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO)
funding.
2) The Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which includes $213
million
[[Page S5043]]
in budget authority and $170 million in outlays that is designated as
OCO funding and $6.438 billion in budget authority and $322 million in
outlays that is designated as disaster funding.
3) The Defense Appropriations Act, which includes $59.719 billion in
budget authority and $28.368 billion in outlays that is designated as
OCO funding.
Consequently, I am revising the budgetary aggregates for 2015 by a
total of $74.995 billion in budget authority and $31.360 billion in
outlays. I am also revising the budget authority and outlay allocations
to the appropriations committee for 2015 by $16.416 billion in revised
nonsecurity budget authority, $58.579 billion in revised security
budget authority, and $31.360 billion in total outlays.
I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record the following
tables detailing the changes to the allocation to the Committee on
Appropriations and the budgetary aggregates.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:
