                          BUDGETARY REVISIONS

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, section 251 of the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 establishes statutory limits on 
discretionary spending and allows for various adjustments to those 
limits, while sections 302 and 314(a) of the Congressional Budget Act 
of 1974 allow the chairman of the Budget Committee to establish and 
make revisions to allocations, aggregates, and levels consistent with 
those adjustments. The Senate will soon consider Senate amendment No. 
3896, filed by Senator Collins. This amendment includes the 
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2017, as reported by the Committee on 
Appropriations. The amendment includes a provision related to the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development's administrative costs for 
disaster relief activities that results in $1 million in outlays. This 
provision is designated as an emergency pursuant to section 
251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Deficit Control Act of 1985. 
The inclusion of this designation makes this spending eligible for an 
adjustment under the Congressional Budget Act.
  As a result, I am increasing the budgetary aggregate for 2017 by $1 
million in outlays. I am also increasing the

2017 allocation to the Appropriations Committee by $1 million in 
outlays.
  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:
