             BUDGET ENFORCEMENT LEVELS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021

  Mr. SANDERS. Mr. President, S. Con. Res. 5, the fiscal year 2021 
congressional budget resolution, included an instruction to the 
chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to file enforceable 
levels in the Senate in the event the budget was agreed to without the 
need to appoint a committee of conference on the measure. On Friday, 
February 5, 2021, the Senate passed the budget resolution, and the

[[Page S987]]

House of Representatives passed it without changes later that day. As 
such, today, I submit the required filing.
  Specifically, section 4001 of the fiscal year 2021 congressional 
budget resolution allows the chairman to file an allocation for fiscal 
year 2021 for the Committee on Appropriations and an allocation for 
fiscal years 2021, 2021 through 2025, and 2021 through 2030 for 
committees other than the Committee on Appropriations.
  In addition, section 4005 of S. Con. Res. 5 provides authority for 
the chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust the 
allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate budgetary levels to 
reflect changes resulting from the Congressional Budget Office's 
updates to its baseline for fiscal years 2021 through 2030. On February 
11, 2021, CBO released ``The Budget and Economic Outlook: 2021 to 
2031.''
  The figures included in this filing are consistent with the spending 
limits set forth in the Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended by the 
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019, P.L. 116-137, as well as with the levels 
included in S. Con. Res. 5, as adjusted pursuant to section 4005 of 
that budget resolution.
  For purposes of enforcing the Senate's pay-as-you-go rule, which is 
found in section 4106 of the fiscal year 2018 congressional budget 
resolution, I am resetting the Senate's scorecard to zero for all 
fiscal years.
  All years in the accompanying tables are fiscal years.
  Finally, this enforcement filing supersedes the filings made pursuant 
to section 205 the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019.
  I ask unanimous consent that the tables detailing enforcement in the 
Senate be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

\1\ The allocation reflects the discretionary spending limits as outlined in section 251(b) of the Balanced
  Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA), including eligible adjustments to those limits
  resulting from the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260). The outlay figures
  included in this table reflect enactment of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (P.L. 116-127), the
  Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (P.L. 116-136), the Paycheck Protection Program and Health
  Care Enhancement Act (P.L. 116-139), and the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021 and Other Extensions Act
  (P.L. 116-159), which generated $178,338 million in outlays from appropriations that were designated as
  emergencies pursuant to section 25l(b)(2)(A)(i) of BBEDCA.
