BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT
Mr. ENZI. Madam President, I wish to submit to the Senate the budget
scorekeeping report for January 2018. The report compares current-law
levels of spending and revenues with the amounts the Senate agreed to
in the budget resolution for fiscal year 2018, H. Con. Res. 71. This
information is necessary for the Senate Budget Committee to determine
whether budget points of order lie against pending legislation. The
Republican staff of the Senate Budget Committee and the Congressional
Budget Office CBO prepared this report pursuant to section 308(b) of
the Congressional Budget Act, CBA.
The enforceable levels included in this report reflect all of the
numerical adjustments made to the resolution since its passage. These
adjustments include an update to enforceable levels for legislation
enacted after the June 2017 CBO baseline was released but before
enactment of the resolution, October 30, 2017; a revision to aggregates
and allocations to accommodate legislation fulfilling the budget
resolution's reconciliation instructions, December 19, 2017; and a
revision to aggregates and the Appropriations Committee's allocation
for emergency spending found in Fiscal Year 2018's third continuing
resolution, H.R. 1370, December 21, 2017.
The information contained in this report captures legislative
activity from the passage of the budget resolution through January 11,
2018.
Republican Budget Committee staff prepared tables 1 through 4 of this
report.
Table 1 gives the amount by which each Senate authorizing committee
exceeds or is below its allocation for budget authority and outlays
under the most recently adopted budget resolution. This information is
used for enforcing committee allocations pursuant to section 302 of the
CBA. For this reporting period, 13 of the 16 authorizing committees are
in compliance with their allocations. First, the Veterans' Affairs and
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committees violated their
allocations in December 2017, the former with a $2.1 billion extension
of the Veterans Choice Program and the latter through a package of
health extenders. Both of these extensions were included as separate
divisions on the Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act,
2018, P.L. 115-96. The Energy and Natural Resources Committee violated
its allocation earlier this month with the passage of the Western
Oregon Tribal Fairness Act, P.L. 115-103, which is estimated to
increase spending by $5 million over the next 10 years. The Armed
Services Committee, on the other hand, reduced spending over the budget
window. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018,
P.L. 115-91, produced $16 million in outlay savings over the
enforceable window.
Table 2 gives the amount by which the Senate Committee on
Appropriations is below or exceeds the statutory spending limits. This
information is used to determine points of order related to the
spending caps found in section 312 and section 314 of the CBA. While no
full-year appropriations bills have been enacted for Fiscal Year 2018,
subcommittees are charged with permanent and advanced appropriations
that first become available in that year.
The budget resolution contains two points of order limiting the use
of changes in mandatory programs in appropriations bills, CHIMPS.
Tables 3 and 4 show compliance with Fiscal Year 2018 limits for overall
CHIMPS and the Crime Victims Fund CHIMP, respectively. This information
is used for determining points of order under section 4102 and section
4103 of H. Con. Res. 71, respectively. Notably, there have not been any
full-year bills enacted thus far for Fiscal Year 2018 that include
CHIMPS.
In addition to the tables provided by Budget Committee Republican
staff, I am submitting CBO tables, which I will use to enforce budget
totals approved by the Congress.
CBO provided a spending and revenue report for Fiscal Year 2018,
which helps enforce aggregate spending levels in budget resolutions
under CBA section 311. In its report, CBO annualizes the temporary
effects of the latest continuing resolution, which provides funding
through January 19, 2018. For the enforcement of budgetary aggregates,
the Budget Committee excludes this temporary funding. As such, the
committee views current-law levels as being $836.3 billion and $468.6
billion below budget resolution levels for budget authority and
outlays, respectively.
Current-law revenues continue to be in excess of the levels assumed
by the budget resolution. On-budget revenue levels currently exceed
assumed levels by $17.2 billion in Fiscal Year 2018, $84.3 billion over
the Fiscal Year 2018-2022 period, and $135.4 billion over the Fiscal
Year 2018-2027 period. These figures reflect current enforceable levels
following the use of the reserve fund found in section 3003 of H. Con.
Res. 71 for H.R. 1, which is commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act of 2017, P.L. 115-97.
Social Security outlay levels are consistent with the budget
resolution's figures for all enforceable periods. Social Security
revenues, however, are
[[Page S293]]
$500 million below levels assumed for Fiscal Year 2018, $2.8 billion
greater over the next 5 years and $26.9 billion greater than assumed
over the next 10 years. These off-budget effects were generated by the
reconciliation bill but not covered by the reserve fund adjustment
filed, which pertained only to on-budget enforcement.
CBO's report also provides information needed to enforce the Senate
pay-as-you-go, PAYGO rule. The Senate's PAYGO scorecard currently shows
deficit reduction of $24 million in Fiscal Year 2018, $14 million over
the Fiscal Year 2017-2022, and $15 million over Fiscal Year 2017-2027
periods. For Fiscal Year 2018, legislation has been enacted that would
reduce outlays by $24 million. Over the Fiscal Year 2017-2022 period,
legislation has been enacted that CBO estimates will decrease outlays
by $13 million and increase revenues by $1 million. Over the Fiscal
Year 2017-2027 period, legislation has been enacted that CBO estimates
will decrease outlays by $11 million and increase revenues by $4
million. Notably absent from these amounts are the veterans and health
extenders from the third continuing resolution discussed earlier. This
is due to a provision in that measure that mandated the exclusion of
those budgetary effects from both the Senate and statutory PAYGO
scorecards. The Senate's PAYGO rule is enforced by section 4106 of H.
Con. Res. 71, the Fiscal Year 2018 budget resolution.
Finally, included in this submission is a table tracking the Senate's
budget enforcement activity on the floor since the adoption of the
budget resolution. During this reporting period, there were seven
budgetary points of order raised in the Senate. Six of these points of
order were raised during consideration of fiscal year 2018
reconciliation legislation. Votes to waive the CBA with respect to each
of the points of order, ranging from Byrd Rule violations to committee
allocation breaches, failed. Senator Rand Paul raised the final
budgetary point of order, for a violation of the Budget Committee's
jurisdiction, against H.R. 1370, the third continuing resolution. The
Senate waived the CBA with respect to this point of order by a vote of
91-8.
All years in the accompanying tables are fiscal years.
I ask unanimous consent that the accompanying tables be printed in
the Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:

U.S. Congress,
Congressional Budget Office,
Washington, DC, January 18, 2018.
Hon. Mike Enzi,
Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.

current through January 11, 2018. This report is submitted
under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the

The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues
are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of
H. Con. Res. 71, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for

Sincerely,
Keith Hall,

aEmergency funding that was not designated as an emergency requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 does not count for certain budgetary enforcement
purposes. These amounts, which are not included in the current level totals, are as follows:
Budget
Authority Outlays Revenues
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disaster Tax Relief and Airport and Airway Extension Act of 263 263 0
2017 (P.L. 115-63)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bSections 1001-1004 of the 21st Century Cures Act (Public Law 114-255), provided funding for innovation projects
and state responses to opioid abuse. CBO estimated that for fiscal year 2018, these sections provided a
combined $866 million in budget authority, which would result in $706 million in outlays. However, consistent
with sections 1001-1004 of P.L. 114-255, for the purposes of estimating the budgetary effects of those
provisions under the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (Budget Control Act) and the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Deficit Control Act), those amounts are estimated
to provide no budget authority or outlays.
cFor purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the Senate, the resolution, as
approved by the Senate, does not include budget authonty, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts. As a
result, current level does not include these items.
