            ENFORCING BUDGETARY LEVELS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019, PL 16-37, 
included an instruction to the chairman of the Senate Committee on the 
Budget to file allocations, aggregates, and budgetary levels in the 
Senate as soon as practicable. Today, I rise to submit the required 
filing found in that act.
  Specifically, sections 204 and 206 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 
2019 require the chairman to file, No. 1, allocations for fiscal year 
2020 for the Committee on Appropriations; No. 2, allocations for fiscal 
years 2020, 2020 through 2024, and 2020 through 2029 for committees 
other than the Committee on Appropriations; No. 3, aggregate spending 
levels for fiscal year 2020; No. 4, aggregate revenue levels for fiscal 
year 2020, 2020 through 2024, and 2020 through 2029; No. 5, aggregate 
levels of outlays and revenue for fiscal years 2020, 2020 through 2024, 
and 2020 through 2029 for Social Security; and, No. 6, a list of 
accounts eligible to receive advance appropriations.
  The figures included in this filing are consistent with the 
discretionary spending limits set forth in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 
2019 and the Congressional Budget Office's May 2019 baseline, as 
adjusted to reflect legislation enacted since the publication of the 
baseline. In instances where enforceable discretionary levels are 
required to be adjusted for spending designated as an emergency 
pursuant to the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as 
amended, including funding in both the Additional Supplemental 
Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, 2019, PL 116-20, and the 
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance

[[Page S5355]]

and Border Security at the Southern Border Act, 2019, PL 116-26, those 
adjustments are included.
  In addition to the update for enforceable limits above, section 204 
of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 allows for the deficit-neutral 
reserve funds included in title III of the fiscal year 2018 
congressional budget resolution--H. Con. Res. 71, 115th Congress--to be 
updated by 2 fiscal years. Pursuant to this authority, all deficit-
neutral reserve funds in the aforementioned title of the fiscal year 
2018 congressional budget resolution are updated and available for use.
  For purposes of enforcing the Senate's pay-as-you-go rule, which is 
found in section 4106 of the fiscal year 2018 congressional budget 
resolution, I am resetting the Senate's scorecard to zero for all 
fiscal years.
  All years in the accompanying tables are fiscal years.
  I ask unanimous consent that the accompanying tables detailing 
enforcement in the Senate be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

  offering of amendments, or submission of conference reports that
  qualify for adjustments to the discretionary spending limits as

  Deficit Control Act of 1985. The budget authority for the revised
  nonsecurity category and outlays have been adjusted in this table ($8
  million in budget authority and $6,251 million in outlays, in total)
  to reflect enactment of the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for
  Disaster Relief Act, 2019 (P.L. 116-20) and the Emergency Supplemental
  Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and Security at the
  Southern Border Act, 2019 (P.L. 116-26), both of which included
  appropriations that were designated as emergencies pursuant to section
  251(b)(2)(A)(i) of BBEDCA.
