                          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:
