             BUDGET ENFORCEMENT LEVELS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020

  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 H.R. 5430, United States-Mexico-Canada 
Agreement Implementation Act. This measure provides supplemental 
appropriations to implement the trade agreement that qualify for cap 
adjustments under current statute.
  This measure includes $843 million in budget authority that is 
designated as being for emergency purposes pursuant to section 
251(b)(2)(A)(i) of BBEDCA. The entirety of this budget authority falls 
within the revised nonsecurity category. The Congressional Budget 
Office estimates that these appropriations will result in $334 million 
in outlays in fiscal year 2020.
  As a result of the emergency designations, I am revising the budget 
authority and outlay allocations to the Committee on Appropriations by 
increasing revised nonsecurity budget authority by $843 million and 
outlays by $334 million in fiscal year 2020. Further, I am increasing 
the budgetary aggregate for fiscal year 2020 by equivalent amounts.
  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:
