                       BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I wish to submit to the Senate the budget 
scorekeeping report for September 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 second report I have made since adoption of the fiscal 
year 2016 budget resolution on May 5, 2015. My first filing can be 
found in the Congressional Record on July 9, 2015. The information 
contained in this report is current through September 8, 2015.
  Table 1 gives the amount by which each Senate authorizing committee 
is below or exceeds 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 direction of 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 year 2016 to 2025 period, which is the 
entire period covered by S. Con. Res. 11, Senate authorizing committees 
have spent $3.1 billion less than the budget resolution calls for.
  Table 2 gives the amount by which the Senate Committee on 
Appropriations is below or exceeds 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 for fiscal year 2016, 
subcommittees are charged with permanent and advanced appropriations 
that first become available in that year.
  Table 3 gives the amount by which the Senate Committee on 
Appropriations is below or exceeds 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 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 $104 million above the level 
assumed in the budget resolution. Finally, Social Security outlays are 
at the levels assumed in the budget resolution for fiscal year 2016, 
while Social Security revenues are $2 million below assumed levels for 
the budget year.
  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 deficit reduction of $2.0 billion over the fiscal year 2015 to 
2020 period and $6.8 billion over the fiscal year 2015 to 2025 period. 
Over the initial 6-year period, Congress has enacted legislation that 
would increase revenues by $3.9 billion and increase outlays by $1.9 
billion. Over the 11-year period, Congress has enacted legislation that 
would reduce revenues by $1.6 billion and decrease outlays by $8.3 
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:

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                               Washington, DC, September 10, 2015.
     Hon. Mike Enzi,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the fiscal year 2015 budget and is 
     current through September 8, 2015. This report is submitted 
     under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the 
     Congressional Budget Act, as amended.
       The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues 
     are consistent with the allocations, aggregates, and other 
     budgetary levels printed in the Congressional Record on May 
     5, 2014, pursuant to section 116 of the Bipartisan Budget Act 
     (Public Law 113-67).
       Since our last letter dated July 9, 2015, the Congress has 
     cleared and the President has signed the Surface 
     Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement 
     Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-41). That law affects outlays and 
     revenues for fiscal year 2015.
           Sincerely,
                                                Robert A. Sunshine
                                       (For Keith Hall, Director.)
       Enclosure.

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                               Washington, DC, September 10, 2015.
     Hon. Mike Enzi,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the fiscal year 2016 budget and is 
     current through September 8, 2015. This report is submitted 
     under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the 
     Congressional Budget Act, as amended.
       The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues 
     are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of 
     S. Con. Res. 11, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2016.
       Since our last letter dated July 9, 2015, the Congress has 
     cleared and the President has signed the following acts that 
     affect budget authority, outlays, or revenues for fiscal year 
     2016: Steve Gleason Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-40); and 
     Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice 
     Improvement Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-41).
           Sincerely,
                                                Robert A. Sunshine
                                       (For Keith Hall, Director.)
       Enclosure.

  revenues, and were cleared by the Congress during this session, but
  before the adoption of S. Con. Res. 11, the Concurrent Resolution on
  the Budget for Fiscal Year 2016: the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program
  Reauthorization Act of 2014 (P.L. 114-1); the Department of Homeland
  Security Appropriations Act, 2015 (P.L. 114-4), and the Medicare
  Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (P.L. 114-10).

  Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2010, amounts designated as
  an emergency requirement pursuant to section 403 of S. Con. Res. 13,
  shall not count for certain budgetary enforcement purposes. The
  amounts so designated for 2016, which are not included in the current
  level totals, are as follows:


------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                      Budget

c For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act
  in the Senate, the resolution, as approved by the Senate, does not
  include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts.
  As a result, current level does not include these items.
d Periodically, the Senate Committee on the Budget revises the budgetary
  levels in S. Con. Res. 11, pursuant to various provisions of the
  resolution. The Senate Resolution total below excludes $6,872 million
  in budget authority and $344 million in outlays assumed in S. Con.
  Res. 11 for disaster-related spending that is not yet allocated to the
  Senate Committee on Appropriations:

a. Pursuant to S. Con. Res. 11 , the Senate Pay-As-You-Go Scorecard was
  reset to zero.
b. The amounts shown represent the estimated impact of the public laws
  on the deficit. Negative numbers indicate an increase in the deficit;
  positive numbers indicate a decrease in the deficit.
c. Excludes off-budget amounts.
d. Excludes amounts designated as emergency requirements.
e. P.L. 114-17 could affect direct spending and revenues, but such

attachments/s615.pdf)
f. P.L. 114-30 will cause a decrease in spending of $5 million in 2017
  and an increase in spending of $5 million in 2019 for a net impact of
