BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I wish to submit to the Senate the budget
scorekeeping report for June 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, and the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (BBA18). This information is necessary
for the Senate Budget Committee to determine whether budgetary 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.
This is my fourth scorekeeping report this year and the first since I
filed new enforceable levels on May 7, pursuant to BBA18 requirements.
My last filing can be found in the Congressional Record for April 12,
2018. The information included in this report is current through June
4, 2018.
Republican Budget Committee staff prepared Tables 1-6.
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 and the Fiscal Year
2019 enforceable levels filing. This information is used for enforcing
committee allocations pursuant to section 302 of the CBA. For this
reporting period, 10 of the 16 authorizing committees are in compliance
with their allocations. Two committee allocation violations were
recorded since my last report. The first violation stems from passage
of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act,
S. 2155, P.L. 115-174, which increased direct spending within the
Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee over the Fiscal Year
2019, Fiscal Year 2019-2023, and Fiscal Year 2019-2028 period. The
second violation resulted from passage of the VA MISSION Act of 2018,
S. 2372, which increased direct spending within the Veterans' Affairs
Committee over all enforceable periods.
Tables 2-3 give 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 sections 312 and 314 of the CBA. Appropriations
for Fiscal Year 2018, shown in table 2, are consistent with the
statutory limits. Table 3 shows that the Appropriations Committee is
currently compliant with spending limits for Fiscal Year 2019. As of
this filing, subcommittees have only been charged with permanent and
advanced appropriations that first become available in Fiscal Year
2019.
The Fiscal Year 2018 budget resolution contained points of order
limiting the use of changes in mandatory programs in appropriations
bills, CHIMPS. Tables 4, 5, and 6 track compliance with these points of
order. Tables 4 and 6 show compliance with Fiscal Year 2018 limits for
overall CHIMPS, $17 billion, and the Crime Victims Fund CHIMP, $11.2
billion, respectively. Table 5, which tracks the CHIMP limit of $15
billion for Fiscal Year 2019, shows the Appropriations Committee has
not passed a bill with a CHIMP for Fiscal Year 2019. This information
is used for determining points of order under sections 4102, overall
limit, and 4103, Crime Victims Fund CHIMP, of H. Con. Res. 71.
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 Congress.
Because legislation can still be enacted that would have an effect on
Fiscal Year 2018, CBO provided a report for both Fiscal Year 2018 and
Fiscal Year 2019. This information is used to enforce aggregate
spending and revenue levels in the budget resolution under section 311
of the CBA. CBO's estimates show that current-law levels of spending
for Fiscal Year 2018 exceed the amounts in last year's budget
resolution by $157.4 billion in budget authority and $106.3 billion in
outlays. Revenues are $3.2 billion above the revenue floor for Fiscal
Year 2018 set by the budget resolution. Social Security outlays are at
the levels assumed by the resolution, while Social Security revenues
are $446 million below the levels in the budget.
For Fiscal Year 2019, CBO estimates that current-law levels are below
the Fiscal Year 2019 enforceable aggregates by $1,142.2 billion in
budget authority and $646.1 billion in outlays. The allowable spending
room will be reduced as appropriations bills are enacted. Revenues are
$5 million below the level assumed for Fiscal Year 2019, a result of
enacting S. 2155. Finally, Social Security outlays and revenues are at
the levels assumed in the Fiscal Year 2019 enforcement filing.
CBO's report also provides information needed to enforce the Senate
pay-as-you-go, PAYGO, rule. In my enforcement filing on May 7, I reset
the Senate's PAYGO scorecard to zero for all enforceable periods. While
two bills that increase the deficit have passed since the reset, only
S. 2155's budgetary effects will be recorded, as the VA MISSION Act
included a provision excluding its deficit increases, $4.5 billion,
from the scorecard. As such, the PAYGO scorecard shows deficit
increases in Fiscal Year 2019 of $22 million, $5 million revenue loss,
$17 million outlay increase, over the Fiscal Year 2019-2023 period of
$329 million, $47 million revenue loss, $282 million outlay increase,
and over the Fiscal Year 2019-2028 period of $490 million, $108 million
revenue loss, $382 million outlay increase. The Senate's PAYGO rule is
enforced by section 4106 of H. Con. Res. 71.
Also included in this submission is a table tracking the Senate's
budget enforcement activity on the floor since the May 7 enforcement
filing. No points of order have been raised.
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, June 6, 2018.
Hon. Mike Enzi,
Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of
Congressional action on the fiscal year 2018 budget and is
current through June 4, 2018. This report is submitted under
section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the Congressional
Budget Act, as amended.
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
Fiscal Year 2018.
Since our last letter dated April 11, 2018, the Congress
has cleared the VA MISSION Act of 2018 (S. 2372), which
awaits the President's signature. That act has significant
effects on budget authority and outlays in fiscal year 2018.
Sincerely,
Keith Hall,
Director.
Enclosure.

a Includes the budgetary effects of the following acts that affect budget authority, outlays, or revenues and
were cleared by the Congress during the 1st session of the 115th Congress, but before the adoption of H. Con.
Res. 71, the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018; the VA Choice and Quality Employment
Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-46); the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-48); a
joint resolution compact relating to the establishment of the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission (P.L. 115-
54); the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018 and Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Requirements
Act, 2017 (P.L. 115-56); the Emergency Aid to American Survivors of Hurricanes Irma and Jose Overseas Act
(P.L. 115-57); the Department of Veterans Affairs Expiring Authorities Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-62); the Disaster
Tax Relief and Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-63); the Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria
Education Relief Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-64); and the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief
Requirements Act, 2017 (P.L. 115-72).
b Emergency funding that was not designated as an emergency requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the
Deficit Control Act does not count for certain budgetary enforcement purposes. These amounts, which are not
included in the current level totals, are as follows:

c The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-123) contains seven divisions: Division A, Subdivision 2 of
Division B, and Divisions C-F contain authorizing legislation, of which the budgetary effects of Subdivision 2
of Division B were designated as being for emergency requirements. Subdivisions 1 and 3 of Division B contain
appropriation legislation: Subdivision 1 provided supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2018 for
disaster relief and designated those amounts as being for emergency requirements, and section 158 of
Subdivision 3 provided authority for the duration of fiscal year 2018, for the Secretary of Energy to draw
down and sell crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Division G of P.L. 115-123 provided for the
budgetary treatment of Divisions A-F.
d Pursuant to section 232(b) of H.C.Res. 290 (106th Congress), the Concurrent Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year
2001, the budgetary effects related to the Federal Reserve's surplus funds are excluded. As a result, the
amounts shown do not include estimated increases in revenues of $2,450 million in fiscal year 2018, $2,180
million over the 2018-2022 period, and $1,750 million over the 2018-2027 period.
e Sections 540-543 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2017 (Division F of P.L. 115-31),
extended several immigration programs through the end of fiscal year 2017. Several continuing resolutions
continued those authorities through March 23, 2018, and sections 202-205 of title II of Division M of P.L. 115-
141 further extended those programs through 2018. CBO estimates that extending those authorities for the
entirety of fiscal year 2018 will increase on-budget direct spending by $5 million in fiscal year 2018, $27
million over the 2018-2022 period, and $53 million over the 2018-2027 period. In addition, CBO estimates that
extending those authorities will decrease off-budget direct spending by $1 million over the 2018-2122 period
and by $7 million over the 2022-2027 period. Further, CBO estimates that continuing those authorities will
increase revenues by $2 million over the 2018-2022 period and by $7 million over the 2018-2022 period.
Consistent with the budgetary treatment of Divisions K-V of P.L. 115-141, the budgetary effects of extending
the immigration programs through March 23, 2018, are charged to the Appropriations Committee; the effects of
extending the programs for the remainder of fiscal year 2018 are charged to the relevant authorizing
committees.
f Pursuant to sections 1001-1004 of the 21st Century Cures Act (P.L. 114-255), certain funding provided to the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)-- in particular the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the
National Institutes of Health (NIH)--in 2017 through 2026 shall not count for the purposes of complying with
provisions of the Deficit Control Act or the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. As a
result, the amounts shown do not include $1,056 million in budget authority or $770 million in associated
outlays in fiscal year 2018, specifically, $60 million in budget authority and $22 million in outlays for the
FDA; and $996 million in budget authority and $748 million in outlays for HHS, which includes $500 million in
budget authority for state responses to the opioid abuse crisis and $496 million for NIH.
g Section 255 of the Departments of Labor, Health, and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division H of P.L. 115-141), delayed implementation of the recommendations of the
United States Preventive Services Task Force with respect to breast cancer screening, mammography, and
prevention. CBO estimates that the delay will increase direct spending (budget authority and outlays) by $14
million in fiscal year 2019 and by $6 million in fiscal year 2020. In addition, CBO estimates that section 225
will decrease revenues by $23 million in fiscal year 2019 (of which $6 million will be off-budget) and will
decrease revenues by $9 million in fiscal year 2020 (of which $2 million will be off-budget).
h For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the Senate, the resolution, as
approved by the Senate, does not include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts. As a
result, current level does not include these items.
i Periodically, the Senate Committee on the Budget revises the budgetary levels in H. Con. Res. 71, pursuant to
various provisions of the resolution. The total for the Initial Senate Resolution shown below excludes $47,660
million in budget authority, $22,467 million in outlays, and $150,003 million in revenues assumed in H. Con.
Res 71 for discretionary spending not constrained by the budgetary caps established by the Budget Control Act
of 2011 (P.L. 112-25) and subsequently amended, including spending that qualifies for adjustments pursuant to
section 4205 of H. Con. Res. 71.
