                          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 H.R. 3762, as passed the Senate, 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 bill. I 
am also adjusting the unassigned to committee savings levels in the 
budget resolution to reflect that, while there are savings in the bill 
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 Thursday, December 3, 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:
