             BUDGET ENFORCEMENT LEVELS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, section 3005 of H. Con. Res. 71, 115th 
Congress, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018, 
allows the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee to revise the 
allocations, aggregates and levels in the budget resolution for 
legislation related to the extension of certain healthcare policies. 
This adjustment authority, which was updated by the Bipartisan Budget 
Act of 2019, is contingent on the legislation not increasing the 
deficit over either the period of fiscal years 2020-2024 or the period 
of fiscal years 2020-2029.
  I find that H.R. 4378, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2020, and 
Health Extenders Act of 2019, meets the conditions of deficit 
neutrality found in section 3005 of H. Con. Res 71. This determination 
has been made by looking at the deficit effects of the revenue and 
direct spending provisions of both Division A and Division B of H.R. 
4378. Accordingly, I am revising the allocations to the Committee on 
Finance and the budgetary aggregates to account for the direct spending 
and revenue effects of the bill. Further, I am temporarily adjusting 
the Senate's PAYGO scorecard to reflect the $667 million deficit 
increase in Fiscal Year 2020 and deficit decreases of $477 million and 
$1 million over the 5- and 10-year periods, respectively. In 
recognition of the instruction to exclude the budgetary effects of 
division B from the PAYGO scorecard in title VII, the table 
accompanying this statement reflects only the prorated revenue effects 
of division A, which are not covered by the exception and whose 
adjustments will remain for PAYGO scorecard purposes.
  Section 124 of division A provides for additional budgetary resources 
for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative and designates those 
resources as being for overseas contingency operations/global war on 
terrorism, OCO, pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended. This 
designation makes this spending qualify for a discretionary cap 
adjustment under current statute. This provision has no effect on 
budget authority but would increase outlays by $128 million in Fiscal 
Year 2020. Therefore, I am revising the allocation to the Committee on 
Appropriations and further modifying the spending aggregate for Fiscal 
Year 2020 to accommodate these 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:
