                      BUDGETARY 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. 901 to H.R. 3401, the 
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and 
Security at the Southern Border Act, 2019. This measure provides 
supplemental appropriations to address humanitarian assistance and 
security at the border. The measure contains spending that qualifies 
for cap adjustments under current statute.
  This measure includes $4,586 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, $145 million is for spending 
in the security category and $4,441 million is for nonsecurity 
spending. CBO estimates that this budget authority will result in 
$1,048 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 $145 
million, revised nonsecurity budget authority by $4,441 million, and 
outlays by $1,048 million

in Fiscal Year 2019. Further, I am increasing the budgetary aggregate 
for Fiscal Year 2019 by $4,586 million in budget authority and $1,048 
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:
