                       BUDGET ENFORCEMENT LEVELS

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, section 251 of the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, BBEDCA, establishes statutory 
limits on discretionary spending and allows for various adjustments to 
those limits. In addition, sections 302 and 314(a) of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974 allow the chairman of the Budget Committee to 
establish and make revisions to allocations, aggregates, and levels 
consistent with those adjustments.
  The Senate will soon consider S. Amdt. 250 to H.R. 2157, Supplemental 
Appropriations Act, 2019. This measure provides appropriations to 
address recent natural disasters and contains spending that qualifies 
for cap adjustments under current statute.
  This measure includes $19,121 million in budget authority that is 
designated as being for emergency purposes pursuant to section 
251(b)(2)(A)(i) of BBEDCA. Of that amount, $2,693 million is for 
spending in the security category, and $16,428 million is for 
nonsecurity spending. CBO estimates that this budget authority will 
result in $5,364 million in outlays in fiscal year 2019.
  As a result of the aforementioned designations, I am revising the 
budget authority and outlay allocations to the Committee on 
Appropriations by increasing revised security budget authority by 
$2,693 million, revised nonsecurity budget authority by $16,428 
million, and outlays by $5,364 million in fiscal year 2019. Further, I 
am increasing the budgetary aggregate for fiscal year 2019 by $19,121 
million in budget authority and $5,364 million in outlays.
  I ask unanimous consent that the accompanying tables, which provide 
details about the adjustment, be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
