                       BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I wish to submit to the Senate the budget 
scorekeeping report for November 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 
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 sixth scorekeeping report this year. My last filing can be 
found in the Congressional Record for July 18, 2018. The information 
included in this report is current through November 13, 2018.
  Budget Committee Republican 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 not in 
compliance with their allocations. The six committees that are fully 
compliant with their allocations are the committees on Armed Services, 
Foreign Relations, Rules and Administration, Intelligence, Indian 
Affairs, and Small Business and Entrepreneurship. The aggregate 10-year 
reduction in budget authority shown in table 1 is largely the product 
of savings that are generated at the end of the enforcement window 
through changes to customs user fees, Miscellaneous Tariff Bill Act of 
2018, P.L. 115-239; Orrin G. Hatch Music Modernization Act, P.L. 115-
264, or from the sale of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, 
America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018, P.L. 115-270.
  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. 
Currently, seven Appropriations subcommittees are operating under a 
continuing resolution, the Department of Defense and Labor, Health and 
Human Services, and Education

[[Page S7038]]

Appropriations Act, 2019 and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (P.L. 
115-245).
  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 
enacted $7.7 billion worth of full-year CHIMPs for fiscal year 2019. 
The fiscal year 2019 CHIMPs were contained in the Labor, Health and 
Human Services, Education and Related Agencies division of P.L. 115-
245. 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 may still be enacted that would have an effect on 
fiscal year 2018, CBO provided a report for both fiscal year 2018 and 
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 
these levels.
  For fiscal year 2019, CBO annualizes the effects of the current 
continuing resolution, P.L. 115-245, which provides funding through 
December 7, 2018. For the enforcement of budgetary aggregates, the 
Budget Committee historically excludes this temporary funding. As such, 
the current-law levels are $307.9 billion and $198.1 billion below 
enforceable levels for budget authority and outlays, respectively. 
Revenues are $309 million below the level assumed in the budget 
resolution. Further, Social Security revenues are at the levels assumed 
for fiscal year 2019, while Social Security outlays are $2 million 
above assumed levels for the budget year.
  CBO's report also provides information needed to enforce the Senate 
pay-as-you-go, PAYGO, rule. The PAYGO scorecard shows deficit increases 
in fiscal year 2019 of $377 million, $309 million revenue loss, $68 
million outlay increase, over the fiscal year 2018-2023 period of 
$1,101 million, $698 million revenue loss, $403 million outlay 
increase, and over the fiscal year 2018-2028 period of $105 million, 
$689 million revenue loss, $584 million outlay decrease. Excluded from 
these figures are the budgetary effects of two direct spending and 
revenue bills: the VA Mission Act of 2018, P.L. 115-182, and the 
Support for Patients and Communities Act, P.L. 115-271. The exclusion 
of these budgetary effects is the result of the statutory inclusion of 
explicit directions to exclude the effects from the Senate's PAYGO 
scorecard. 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. Since my last report, one point of order was raised against a 
CHIMP provision in the Labor-HHS division of H.R. 6157 during its 
initial Senate consideration. Pursuant to section 314 of S. Con. Res. 
70, the fiscal year 2009 budget resolution, I raised a point of order 
against a $390 million Pell grant provision. The point of order was 
waived by a vote of 68-24.
  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:

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                Washington, DC, November 15, 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 the end of fiscal year 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 July 18, 2018, the Congress has 
     not cleared any legislation for the President's signature 
     that affects budget authority, outlays, or revenues in fiscal 
     year 2018.
           Sincerely,
                                                       Keith Hall,
                                                         Director.
       Enclosure.

aIncludes 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).
bEmergency funding that was not designated as an emergency requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the

  included in the current level totals, are as follows:


 
                                                                    Budget

cThe 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.
dPursuant 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.
eSections 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 2018-2022 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 2018-2027 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.
fPursuant 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.
gSection 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).
hFor 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.
iPeriodically, 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.

                                Washington, DC, November 15, 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 2019 budget and is 
     current through November 13, 2018. This report is submitted 
     under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the 
     Congressional Budget Act, as amended.

aSections 1001-1004 of the 21st Century Cures Act (P.L. 114-255) require that certain funding provided for 2017
  through 2026 to the Department of Health and Human Services--in particular the Food and Drug Administration
  and the National Institutes of Health--be excluded from estimates for the purposes of the Balanced Budget and
  Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Deficit Control Act) or the Congressional Budget and Impoundment
  Control Act of 1974 (Congressional Budget Act). Therefore, the amounts shown in this report do not include
  $771 million in budget authority, and $767 million in estimated outlays.
bFor 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 those items.
cPursuant 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 $655 million in fiscal year 2019, $570 million
  over the 2019-2023 period, and $454 million over the 2019-2028 period.
dDivision I of P.L. 115-254 provided $1.68 billion in supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2019, and
  designated those amounts as being for emergency requirements pursuant to section 251 of the Deficit Control
  Act. In general, the budgetary effects of authorizing legislation are recorded as direct spending or revenue.
  However, consistent with the language in Division I, and at the direction of the Senate Committee on the
  Budget, those budgetary effects are classified as discretionary spending.
eSection 30103 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 required--in the absence of a concurrent resolution on the
  budget for fiscal year 2019--that the Chair of the Senate Committee on the Budget publish the aggregate
  spending and revenue levels for fiscal year 2019; those aggregate levels were first published in the
  Congressional Record on May 7, 2018. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 also allows the Chair of the Senate
  Committee on the Budget to revise the budgetary aggregates:

\1\Senator Sanders raised a section 4106(a) of H. Con. Res. 71 (115th Congress) point of order against the bill because the bill would increase the on-
  budget deficit.
\2\By unanimous consent the Senate proceeded to a roll call vote to waive the point of order.
\3\This surgical point of order would have struck lines 7-8 of page 270 in Division B (Title III) of the substitute amendment, which was related to the
  Pell Grant program. This provision was a Change in Mandatory Program (CHIMP) estimated to increase spending by $390 million over 10 years.
