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
[[Page S5332]]
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:
