                          BUDGETARY REVISIONS

  Mrs. MURRAY. Madam President, I previously filed budgetary aggregates

[[Page S5297]]

and committee allocations for budget years 2014 and 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 allow the Chairman of the Budget 
Committee to establish and make revisions to allocations, aggregates, 
and levels consistent with those adjustments. The Senate will be 
considering legislation that is eligible for adjustments under the 
Congressional Budget Act: S. 2648, the Emergency Supplemental 
Appropriations Act, 2014, which includes $3.571 billion in budget 
authority and $2.913 billion in outlays that is designated as emergency 
funding pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
  Consequently, I am revising the budgetary aggregates for 2014 by a 
total of $3.571 billion in budget authority and $25 million in outlays. 
I am also revising the budgetary aggregates for 2015 by a total of 
$2.888 billion in outlays. In addition, I am revising the budget 
authority and outlay allocations to the Appropriations Committee for 
2014 by $3.346 billion in nonsecurity budget authority, $225 million in 
security budget authority, and $25 million in total outlays. I am 
revising the outlay allocations to the appropriations committee for 
2015 by $2.888 billion.
  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:

  Mrs. MURRAY. Madam President, I previously filed budgetary aggregates 
and committee allocations for budget years 2014 and 2015 pursuant to 
section 116 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. In addition, earlier 
today, I filed revisions to those levels for S. 2648, the Emergency 
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2014. Those adjustments were made as a 
result of funding designated as emergency requirements in S. 2648 
pursuant to section

[[Page S5298]]

251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control 
Act of 1985. Because the Senate did not pass S. 2648, I am now 
reversing the adjustments I filed earlier today.
  Consequently, I am revising the budgetary aggregates for 2014 by a 
total of -$3.571 billion in budget authority and -$25 million in 
outlays. I am also revising the budgetary aggregates for 2015 by a 
total of -$2.888 billion in outlays. In addition, I am revising the 
budget authority and outlay allocations to the Appropriations Committee 
for 2014 by -$3.346 billion in nonsecurity budget authority, -$225 
million in security budget authority and -$25 million in total outlays. 
I am revising the outlay allocations to the appropriations committee 
for 2015 by -$2.888 billion.
  I ask unanimous consent that the following tables detailing the
