BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I wish to submit to the Senate the budget
scorekeeping report for October 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 third report I have made since adoption of the fiscal
year 2016 budget resolution on May 5, 2015. My last filing can be found
in the Congressional Record on September 10, 2015. The information
contained in this report is current through October 26, 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 ended on September 30, 2015, Senate authorizing
committees have increased direct spending outlays by $7.8 billion more
than the agreed upon spending levels. Over the fiscal year 2016-2025
period, which is the entire period covered by S. Con. Res. 11, Senate
authorizing committees have spent $2.2 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
full-year 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 on a full-year
basis 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 full-year 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
[[Page S7538]]
tables from CBO that I will use for enforcement of budget levels agreed
to by the Congress.
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. This will be CBO's final
report to the Senate Budget Committee for fiscal year 2015, as the
fiscal year is now closed.
For fiscal year 2016, CBO annualizes the effects of the Continuing
Appropriations Act, P.L. 114-53, which provides funding through
December 11, 2015. For the enforcement of budgetary aggregates, the
Senate Budget Committee excludes this temporary funding. As such, the
committee views current law levels as being $885.9 billion and $526.4
billion below budget resolution levels for budget authority and
outlays, respectively. Revenues are $144 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 $18 million above 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 $1.4 billion over the fiscal year 2015-2020
period and $6.1 billion over the fiscal year 2015-2025 period. Over the
initial 6-year period, Congress has enacted legislation that would
increase revenues by $4.1 billion and increase outlays by $2.7 billion.
Over the 11-year period, Congress has enacted legislation that would
reduce revenues by $1.3 billion and decrease outlays by $7.4 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 the accompanying tables be printed in
the Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:
