BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I wish to submit to the Senate the budget
scorekeeping report for July 2015. The report compares current-law
levels of spending and revenues with the amounts provided in the
conference report to accompany S. Con. Res. 11, the budget resolution
for fiscal year 2016. This information is necessary to determine
whether budget points of order lie against pending legislation. It has
been prepared by the Republican staff of the Senate Budget Committee
and the Congressional Budget Office, CBO, pursuant to section 308(b) of
the Congressional Budget Act.
This is the first report I have made since adoption of the 2016
budget resolution on May 5, 2015. I will provide these reports
periodically, generally one per work period. The information contained
in this report is current through July 7, 2015.
Table 1 gives the amount by which each Senate authorizing committee
exceeds or is below its allocation under the budget resolution. This
information is used for enforcing committee allocations pursuant to
section 302 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, CBA. For fiscal
year 2015, which is still enforced under the deemed budget resolution
from the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, BBA, Senate authorizing
committees have increased direct spending outlays by $7.8 billion more
than the agreed-upon spending levels. Over the fiscal years 2016-2025
period, which is the entire period covered by S. Con. Res. 11, Senate
authorizing committees have spent $22 million more than the budget
resolution calls for.
Table 2 gives the amount by which the Senate Committee on
Appropriations exceeds or is below the statutory spending limits. This
information is used to determine points of order related to the
spending caps found in section 312 and section 314 of the CBA. While no
appropriations bills have been enacted, subcommittees are charged with
permanent and advanced appropriations that first become available for
fiscal year 2016.
Table 3 gives the amount by which the Senate Committee on
Appropriations exceeds or is below its allocation for Overseas
Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism, OCO/GWOT, spending.
This separate allocation for OCO/GWOT was established in section 3102
of S. Con. Res. 11, and is enforced using section 302 of the CBA. No
bills providing funds with the OCO/GWOT designation have been enacted
thus far for fiscal year 2016.
The budget resolution established two new points of order limiting
the use of changes in mandatory programs in appropriations bills,
CHIMPS. Tables 4 and 5 show compliance with fiscal year 2016 limits for
overall CHIMPS and the Crime Victims Fund CHIMP, respectively. This
information is used for determining points of order under section 3103
and section 3104, respectively. No bills have been enacted thus far for
fiscal year 2016 that include CHIMPS.
In addition to the tables provided by the Senate Budget Committee
Republican staff, I am submitting additional tables from CBO that I
will use for enforcement of budget levels agreed to by the Congress.
Because legislation can still be enacted that would have an effect on
fiscal year 2015, CBO provided a report for both fiscal year 2015 and
fiscal year 2016. This information is used to enforce aggregate
spending levels in budget resolutions under section 311 of the CBA.
CBO's estimates show that current law levels of spending for fiscal
year 2015 exceed the amounts in the deemed budget resolution enacted in
the BBA by $8.0 billion in budget authority and $1.0 billion in
outlays. Revenues are $79.8 billion below the revenue floor for fiscal
year 2015 set by the deemed budget resolution. As well, Social Security
outlays are at the levels assumed for fiscal year 2015, while Social
Security revenues are $170 million above levels in the deemed budget.
For fiscal year 2016, CBO estimates that current law levels are below
the
[[Page S4944]]
budget resolution's allowable budget authority and outlay aggregates by
$886.0 billion and $526.9 billion, respectively. The allowable spending
room will be reduced as appropriations bills for fiscal year 2016 are
enacted. Revenues are $5 million above the level assumed in the budget
resolution. Finally, Social Security outlays and revenues are at the
levels assumed in the budget resolution for fiscal year 2016.
CBO's report also provides information needed to enforce the Senate's
Pay-As-You-Go rule. The Senate's Pay-As-You-Go scorecard currently
shows a balance of -$470 million over the fiscal years 2015-2020 period
and $125 million over the fiscal years 2015-2025 period. Over the
initial 6-year period, Congress has enacted legislation that would
increase revenues by $2.3 billion and increase outlays by $1.9 billion.
Over the 11-year period, Congress has enacted legislation that would
reduce revenues by $5.3 billion and decrease outlays by $5.2 billion.
The Senate's Pay-As-You-Go rule is enforced by section 201 of S. Con.
Res. 21, the fiscal year 2008 budget resolution.
All years in the accompanying tables are fiscal years.
I ask unanimous consent that this statement and the accompanying
tables be printed in the Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:
