BUDGETARY REVISIONS
Mr. SANDERS. Mr. President, S. Con. Res. 14, the fiscal year 2022
congressional budget resolution, included authority in section 4004 to
allow the chairman of the Committee on the Budget to adjust budget
aggregates and committee allocations related to program integrity,
disaster relief, wildfire suppression, and veterans medical care
funding.
H.R. 2471, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, was enacted on
March 15, 2022, and designates funding eligible for several of these
adjustments. Specifically, the bill provides $18.9 billion in budget
authority for disaster relief, $2.1 billion in budget authority for
program integrity activities to combat waste, fraud, and abuse, and
$2.5 billion in budget authority to fight wildfires. Accordingly, I am
adjusting the allocation to the Committee on Appropriations and the
spending aggregates upward by these amounts and by the amount of
outlays flowing therefrom.
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:
