BUDGETARY REVISIONS
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, section 4380 of S. Con. Res. 11, the
concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2016, allows the
chairman of the Senate Budget Committee to revise the allocations,
aggregates, and levels in the budget resolution for legislation that
increases sharing of cyber security threat information while protecting
individual privacy and civil liberties interests. The authority to
adjust is contingent on the legislation not increasing the deficit over
either the period of the total of fiscal years 2016-2020 or the period
of the total of fiscal years 2016-2025.
I find that S. 754, as amended, fulfills the conditions of deficit
neutrality found in section 4380 of S. Con. Res. 11. Accordingly, I am
revising the allocation to the Select Committee on Intelligence and the
budgetary aggregates to account for the budget effects of the
amendment. As the budgetary effects of S. 754, as amended, are
insignificant under our accounting methods, budgetary figures remain
numerically unchanged.
