                          BUDGETARY REVISIONS

  Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. 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. 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 August 1, 
2014, the Senate passed one bill that is eligible for an adjustment 
under the Congressional Budget Act: H.J. Res 76, Emergency Supplemental 
Appropriations Resolution, 2014, which includes $225 million in budget 
authority and $150 million in outlays in 2014 and $75 million in 
outlays in 2015 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 $225 million in budget authority and $150 million in outlays. 
For 2015 I am revising the budgetary aggregates by $75 million in 
outlays. I am also revising the budget authority and outlay

allocations to the Appropriations Committee by $225 million in revised 
security budget authority and $150 million in outlays in 2014 and by 
$75 million in outlays in 2015.
  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:
