             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. 6074, the Coronavirus Preparedness 
and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2020. This measure 
provides supplemental appropriations to support activities related to 
public health and response to the coronavirus that qualify for cap 
adjustments under current statute.
  This measure includes $7,767 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 $1,041 
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 $7,767 million and 
outlays by $1,041 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.
