                   PUBLICATION OF BUDGETARY MATERIAL


 REVISIONS TO THE STATEMENT OF COMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS, AGGREGATES, AND 
              OTHER BUDGETARY LEVELS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019

                                         House of Representatives,


                                      Committee on the Budget,

                                                   Washington, DC.
       Mr. Speaker, I hereby submit for printing in the 
     Congressional Record a revision to the allocations set forth 
     in the Statement of Committee Allocations, Aggregates, and 
     Other Budgetary Levels for Fiscal Year 2019 published in the 
     Congressional Record on May 10, 2018 pursuant to section 
     30104 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-
     123). The revision is for new budget authority and outlays 
     for provisions designated for Overseas Contingency 
     Operations/Global War on Terrorism and program integrity 
     initiatives pursuant to section 251(b) of the Balanced Budget 
     and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA), contained 
     in the conference report to accompany H.R. 6157, the 
     Department of Defense and Labor, Health and Human Services, 
     and Education Appropriations Act, 2019 and Continuing 
     Appropriations Act, 2019.
       The Statement of Committee Allocations, Aggregates, and 
     Other Budgetary Levels for Fiscal Year 2019 set the base 
     discretionary 302(a) allocation to the Committee on 
     Appropriations at $1.244 trillion, which is the sum of the 
     fiscal year 2019 discretionary spending limits under section 
     251(c) of BBEDCA. Section 251(b) of BBEDCA allows for 
     adjustments to the discretionary spending limits for certain 
     purposes including Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War 
     on Terrorism, disaster relief, and program integrity 
     initiatives.
       The conference report to accompany H.R. 6157 contains $67.9 
     billion in budget authority for Overseas Contingency 
     Operations/Global War on Terrorism and $1.9 billion in budget 
     authority for program integrity initiatives. Accordingly, I 
     am revising the allocation of spending authority to the House 
     Committee on Appropriations. After making this adjustment, 
     the conference report to accompany H.R. 6157 is within the 
     fiscal year

     2019 discretionary spending limits under section 251(c) of 
     BBEDCA, in addition to the aggregates and the 302(a) 
     allocation to the Committee on Appropriations established by 
     the Statement of Committee Allocations, Aggregates, and Other 
     Budgetary Levels for Fiscal Year 2019 filed on May 10, 2018.
       Budget enforcement provisions of H. Con. Res. 71 (115th 
     Congress) have been deemed to be in force by section 30104(f) 
     of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. This revision 
     represents an adjustment for purposes of enforcing sections 
     302 and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. For the 
     purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, these 
     revised aggregates and allocations are to be considered as 
     aggregates and allocations included in the budget resolution, 
     pursuant to the Statement published in the Congressional 
     Record on May 10, 2018, as adjusted.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Steve Womack,
                                                         Chairman.
