             BUDGET ENFORCEMENT LEVELS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021

  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. 8337, the Continuing 
Appropriations Act, 2021 and Other Extensions Act. This measure 
includes two provisions, found in sections 126 and 163, that are 
designated as being for emergency purposes pursuant to section 
251(b)(2)(A)(i) of BBEDCA. The Congressional Budget Office estimates 
that these provisions will have no net effect on budget authority but 
would result in $92 million in outlays in fiscal year 2021.
  As a result of the emergency designations, I am revising the outlay 
allocation to the Committee on Appropriations by $92 million in fiscal 
year 2021. Further, I am increasing the budgetary outlay aggregate for 
fiscal year 2021 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:
