                          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.
  On May 19, 2016, the Senate agreed to Senate amendment No. 3900, 
filed by Senator Blunt. This amendment provides funding to combat the 
Zika virus. The amendment would increase budget authority by $1,098 
million in fiscal year 2016 and increase outlays by $147 million and 
$508 million in fiscal year 2016 and fiscal year 2017, respectively. 
The amendment includes language that would designate its spending as 
emergency pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget 
and Deficit Control Act of 1985. The inclusion of these designations 
makes this spending eligible for an adjustment under the Congressional 
Budget Act.
  As a result, I am increasing the budgetary aggregate for fiscal year 
2016 by $1,098 million in budget authority and $147 million in outlays. 
I am increasing the budgetary aggregate for fiscal year 2017 by $508 
million in outlays. Further, I am revising the budget authority and 
outlay allocations to the Appropriations Committee by $1,098 million in 
revised nonsecurity budget authority and $147 million in outlays for 
fiscal year 2016 and by $508 million in outlays in fiscal year 2017.
  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:
