             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 recently considered three measures that were signed into 
law to combat the coronavirus. These measures, the Family First 
Coronavirus Response Act, P.L. 116-127; the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and 
Economic Security Act, P.L. 116-136; and the Paycheck Protection 
Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, P.L. 116-139, provided 
supplemental emergency appropriations to support activities related to 
public health and response to the coronavirus that qualify for cap 
adjustments under section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of BBEDCA.
  The Family First Coronavirus Response Act included emergency 
appropriations totaling $82 million in revised security budget 
authority and $2,389 million in revised nonsecurity budget authority. 
The Congressional Budget Office, CBO, estimates that these 
appropriations will result in $843 million in outlays in fiscal year 
2020.
  The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act included 
emergency appropriations totaling $10,525 million in revised security 
budget authority and $319,158 million in revised nonsecurity budget 
authority. CBO estimates that these appropriations will result in 
$98,789 million in outlays in fiscal year 2020.
  The Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act 
included emergency appropriations totaling $162,100 million in revised 
nonsecurity budget authority. CBO estimates that these appropriations 
will result in $113,132 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 security budget authority by $10,607 million, 
revised nonsecurity budget authority by $483,647 million and outlays by 
$212,764 million in fiscal year 2020. Further, I am increasing the 
budgetary aggregate for fiscal year 2020 by $494,072 million in budget 
authority and $212,655 million in 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:
