                          BUDGETARY REVISIONS

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, section 4305 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 related 
to health care reform. 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 Senate amendment 2916 fulfills the conditions of deficit 
neutrality found in section 4305 of S. Con. Res. 11. Accordingly, I am 
revising the allocations to the Committee on Finance, the Committee on 
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, HELP, and the budgetary 
aggregates to account for the budget effects of the amendment. I am 
also adjusting the unassigned to committee savings levels in the budget 
resolution to reflect that, while there are savings in the amendment 
attributable to both the HELP and Finance committees, the Congressional 
Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation are unable to produce 
unique estimates for each provision due to interactions and other 
effects that are estimated simultaneously.
  The adjustments that I filed on Tuesday, December 2, 2015, are now 
void and replaced by these new adjustments.
  I ask unanimous consent that the accompanying tables, which provide 
details about the adjustment, be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
