BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I rise to submit to the Senate the budget
scorekeeping report for January 2020. This is my third scorekeeping
report since I filed the deemed budget resolution for fiscal year 2020
on September 9, 2019, as required by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019,
BBA19. The report compares current-law levels of spending and revenues
with the amounts agreed to in BBA19. In the Senate, this information is
used 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. The information
included in this report is current through January 7, 2020.
Since I filed the last scorekeeping report on December 4, 2019, four
measures with significant enforceable budgetary effects have been
enacted.
The first measure enacted this reporting period, H.R. 5363, the
Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education
Act, FUTURE Act, cleared the Senate by voice vote and became P.L. 116-
91. The bill included two provisions with significant cost over the 10-
year period: a permanent extension of mandatory funding for
historically Black colleges and universities and additional mandatory
funding for the Pell Grant program. To offset these provisions, the
measure allows the Department of Education to access taxpayer data when
administering Federal student aid programs. Overall, CBO estimates that
the FUTURE Act would reduce outlays by $997 million in the first year,
$835 million over 5 years, and $435 million over 10 years. This measure
was charged to the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
The second measure enacted this reporting period was the conference
report to accompany S. 1790, the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2020. This measure, which became P.L. 116-92 and was
charged to the Armed Services Committee, authorized appropriations for
the Nation's national defense apparatus for the current fiscal year. In
addition to the authorization of funds, the conference report included
changes in law, notably to the Survivor Benefit Program, that would
affect direct spending and revenues. According to CBO's estimate, the
measure would increase direct spending by $5.6 billion over the 2020 to
2029 period.
The third measure, H.R. 1158, the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2020, became P.L. 116-93. This bill provided funding for fiscal year
2020 programs within the jurisdictions of four Senate appropriations
subcommittees, including Defense, Commerce-Justice-Science, Financial
Services and General Government, and Homeland Security. CBO estimated
that the bill would bring total budget authority provided for programs
covered by these four subcommittees to $860.3 billion in fiscal year
2020. Of the amounts provided, $767.6 billion was considered regular
appropriations and $92.6 billion qualified for cap adjustments under
existing law.
The final measure with significant effects enacted this reporting
period was H.R. 1865, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2020. This bill, which became P.L. 116-94, provided appropriations for
fiscal year 2020 for the remaining eight Senate appropriations
subcommittees, extended numerous expiring programs and tax provisions,
repealed several healthcare taxes, expanded access to retirement plans,
provided additional resources for pensions for miners, and contained
several provisions related to various foreign policy initiatives. CBO
estimated that divisions A-H of the bill, which provided discretionary
appropriations, would bring total appropriated budget authority for
covered programs to $539.9 billion in fiscal year 2020. Of the amount
provided, $520.4 billion was provided as regular appropriations and
$19.5 billion qualified for cap adjustments under existing law. CBO
further estimated that divisions I--Q of the bill would increase
deficits by $408.9 billion over the 2020 through 2029 period. Divisions
A--H were charged to the Appropriations Committee; divisions I and K
were charged to the Banking Committee; division J was charged to the
Foreign Relations Committee; division L was charged to the Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs Committee; divisions M, N, O, and Q
were charged to the Finance Committee; and division P was charged to
the Commerce Committee. The measure passed the Senate by a vote of 71
to 23.
Budget Committee Republican staff prepared tables A-D.
Table A gives the amount by which each Senate authorizing committee
exceeds or is below its allocation for budget authority and outlays
under the fiscal year 2020 deemed budget resolution. This information
is used for enforcing committee allocations pursuant to section 302 of
the CBA. Legislation enacted to date has resulted in six authorizing
committees breaching their allocations provided by BBA19. In total
authorizing committees have breached outlay limitations by more than
$29.1 billion over the 2020 through 2029 period.
Table B provides 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. The table shows
that the Appropriations Committee is compliant with spending limits for
current the fiscal year. Those limits for regular discretionary
spending are $666.5 billion for accounts in the defense category and
$621.5 billion for accounts in the nondefense category of spending.
The 2018 budget resolution contained points of order limiting the use
of changes in mandatory programs, CHIMPs, in appropriations bills.
Table C, which tracks the CHIMP limit of $15 billion for 2020, shows
the Appropriations Committee has complied with the CHIMP limit for this
fiscal year. CHIMPs enacted as part of the 2020 appropriations cycle
include $5.7 billion from changes to the Crime Victims Fund and $9.3
billion in changes to accounts related to the Children's Health
Insurance Program.
[[Page S237]]
Table D provides the amount of budget authority enacted for 2020 that
has been designated as either for an emergency or for overseas
contingency operations pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended. Funding
that receives either of these designations results in cap adjustments
to enforceable discretionary spending limits. There is no limit on
either emergency or overseas contingency operations spending; however,
any Senator may challenge the designation with a point of order to
strike the designation on the floor. To date, more than $88.0 billion
has been enacted with either the emergency or overseas contingency
operations designations for the 2020 appropriations cycle.
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.
CBO provided a spending and revenue report for 2020, table 1, which
helps enforce aggregate spending levels in budget resolutions under CBA
section 311. Following the enactment of the two minibus appropriations
bills in December and the continued spending of authorizing committees,
the current level is now in excess of allowable levels by $15.4 billion
for budget authority and $1.7 billion for outlays in 2020. Details on
2020 levels can be found in CBO's second table.
Current-law revenues are currently below enforceable levels for all
enforcement periods. Due to the enactment of the Further Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2020, and to a lesser extent this year's national
defense authorization bill, revenues are currently $34.4 billion,
$150.7 billion, and $386.2 billion lower than assumed in the deemed
budget resolution for 2020, 2020 through 2024, and 2020 through 2029,
respectively. Social Security spending levels are consistent with the
budget resolution's figures for 2020; however, Social Security revenue
levels are $15 million below assumed levels.
CBO's report also provides information needed to enforce the Senate
pay-as-you-go, pay-go, rule table 3. This rule was established under
section 4106 of the 2018 budget resolution. The Senate pay-go scorecard
currently shows a credit of $965 million in 2020 but deficit increases
of $1.1 billion and $5.2 billion over the 2019-2024 and 2019-2029
periods, respectively. Please note that the deficit effects of division
I through division Q of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2020 are excluded from the Senate's pay-go scorecard pursuant to title
X of division I of that law.
This submission also includes a table tracking the Senate's budget
enforcement activity on the floor since the enforcement filing on
September 9, 2019. I raised two points of order during this reporting
period. On December 17, 2019, I raised the long-term deficits point of
order against the national defense authorization conference report for
increasing deficits by more than $5 billion in years following the
current budget window. That point of order was waived by a vote of 82
to 12. On December 19, 2019, I raised the same point of order against
the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, but that was also
waived with a vote of 64 to 30.
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:

\a\ Sections 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) and the
Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974
(Congressional Budget Act). Therefore, the amounts shown in this
report do not include $567 million in budget authority and $798
million in estimated outlays.
\b\ For 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, amounts in this current level report do not include those
items.
\c\ Section 124 of the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2020 (division A
of P.L. 116-59), appropriated funding for the Ukraine Security
Assistance Initiative (within the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on
Defense) and designated those amounts as funding for overseas
contingency operations. That provision took effect upon enactment on
September 27, 2019.
\d\ In consultation with the House and Senate Committees on the Budget
and the Office of Management and Budget, rescissions of emergency
funding that was not designated as an emergency requirement pursuant
to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985 shall not count for certain budgetary enforcement
purposes. These amounts, which are not included in the current level
