FISCAL YEAR 2017 ENFORCEMENT FILING
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, S. Con. Res. 3, the fiscal year 2017
congressional budget resolution, included an instruction to the
chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to file enforceable
levels in the Senate in the event the budget was agreed to without the
need to appoint a committee of conference on the measure. On Thursday,
January 12, 2017, the Senate passed the budget by a vote of 51-48. On
Friday, January 13, 2017, the House of Representatives passed the
budget without changes on a vote of 227-198. As such, today I wish to
submit the required filing found in the resolution.
Specifically, section 4001 of the fiscal year 2017 congressional
budget resolution requires the chairman to file: No. 1, an allocation
for fiscal year 2017 for the Committee on Appropriations; and No. 2, an
allocation for fiscal years 2017, 2017 through 2021, and 2017 through
2026 for committees other than the Committee on Appropriations.
The figures included in this filing are consistent with the spending
limits set forth in the Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended by the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, and the levels included in S. Con. Res.
3.
For purposes of enforcing the Senate's pay-as-you-go rule, which is
found in section 201 of S. Con. Res. 21, the fiscal year 2008
congressional budget resolution, I am resetting the Senate's scorecard
to zero for all fiscal years.
All years in the accompanying tables are fiscal years.
I ask unanimous consent that the tables detailing enforcement in the
Senate be printed in the Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:

Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA).
Note: This allocation is consistent with the statutory limits imposed by
the Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended. Regular appropriations

those regular appropriations amounts. This allocation also includes

spending for fiscal year 2017, pursuant to Section 251 of BBEDCA and
Sections 302 and 314 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. Details
