                          BUDGETARY REVISIONS

  Mr. ENZI. Madam President, section 3001 of S. Con. Res. 3, the 
concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2017, allows the 
chairman of the Senate Budget Committee to revise the allocations, 
aggregates and levels in the budget resolution for legislation related 
to healthcare reform. The authority to adjust is contingent on the 
legislation not increasing the deficit over the period of the total of 
fiscal years 2017 to 2026.
  I find that amendment No. 271 fulfills the conditions of deficit 
neutrality found in sec. 3001 of S. Con. Res. 3. 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.
  This adjustment supersedes the adjustment I previously made for the 
processing of S. Amdt. 267. This adjustment applies while this 
amendment is under consideration. Should the amendment be withdrawn, 
fail, or lose its pending status, this adjustment will be null and void 
and the adjustment for amendment No. 267 shall remain active.
  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:
