                          BUDGETARY REVISIONS

  Mr. SANDERS. Mr. President, S. Con. Res. 14, the fiscal year 2022 
congressional budget resolution, included a reserve fund in section 
3003 to allow the chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to 
revise budget aggregates, committee allocations, and make adjustments 
to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation that would not increase the 
deficit over the period of fiscal years 2022 to 2031.
  The Senate will soon consider S. 610, the Protecting Medicare and 
American Farmers from Sequester Cuts Act, as amended by the House, 
which meets the condition of being paid for and not increasing the 
deficit over the 10-year period. As such, I am filing a revision to the 
aggregates and committee allocations under the budget resolution, which 
were filed on September 23. Specifically, the Congressional Budget 
Office estimates that S. 610 will increase budget authority in 2022 by 
$7.65 billion and outlays by $7.144 billion. Over 5 years, budget 
authority and outlays will increase by $7.079 billion, while there is 
no net increase to outlays over the 10-year period. I am increasing the 
aggregate amount of budget authority and outlays for 2022, as well as 
the allocation to the Committee on Finance and the Senate pay-as-you-go 
ledger, by those 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:
