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 Committee on the Budget to revise
budget aggregates and committee allocations for legislation that would
not increase the deficit over the period of fiscal years 2022 to 2031.
The Senate will soon consider S. 2938, the Bipartisan Safer
Communities Act, as proposed to be amended by Senate Amendment No.
5099, which meets the condition of not increasing the deficit over the
relevant 10-year period. As such, I am filing a revision to the
aggregates and committee allocations under the budget resolution, which
were last revised on April 7, as well as the Senate pay-as-you-go
scorecard. Specifically, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that
Division A of the bill would increase 2022 budget authority by $7.5
billion and increase 2022 outlays by $1 million but decrease spending
over the 5- and 10-year windows. Over the 2022-2026 period, the bill
would decrease spending by $5.7 billion and increase revenues by $4
million. Over the 2022-2031 period, the bill would decrease spending by
$5.3 billion and increase revenue by $10 million. Division B of the
bill appropriates additional discretionary spending, but that spending
is designated as an emergency and not subject to budget enforcement.
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:
