BUDGETARY REVISIONS
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, on March 22, 2018, I filed adjustments to
enforceable budgetary levels to accommodate spending in H.R. 1625, the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, P.L. 115-141. Included in the
spending that qualified for cap adjustments was program integrity
funding that is classified as off-budget. The previous adjustment
correctly increased the allocation to the Appropriations Committee to
accommodate this spending but also increased the spending aggregate for
fiscal year 2018. Under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the
spending aggregate should only reflect on-budget amounts. As such, I am
reducing the spending aggregate by $295 million in budget authority and
$257 million in outlays.
I ask unanimous consent that the accompanying table be printed in the
Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:
