                 UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 4366

  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Mr. President, on behalf of Senator Murray, I ask 
unanimous consent that the following report from the Committee on 
Appropriations be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

Further Revised Allocation to Subcommittees of Budget Totals for Fiscal 
                               Year 2024

       The Committee on Appropriations submits the following 
     report revising the allocations to its subcommittees for 
     fiscal year 2024 set forth in Senate Report 118-45 (June 22, 
     2023) and revised in Senate Report 118-57 (July 12, 2023), 
     Senate Report 118-69 (July 19, 2023), and Senate Report 118-
     78 (July 26, 2023).
       Section 302(e) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as 
     amended, provides that at any time after a committee reports 
     its allocations, such committee may report to its House an 
     alteration of such allocations. This report is submitted 
     pursuant to this section.
       Under the provisions of section 301(a) of the Congressional 
     Budget Act, the Congress shall complete action on a 
     concurrent resolution on the budget no later than April 15 of 
     each year. The Congressional Budget Act requires that, as 
     soon as practicable after a concurrent resolution on the 
     budget is agreed to, the Committee on Appropriations shall 
     submit to the Senate a report subdividing among its 
     subcommittees the new budget authority and total outlays 
     allocated to the Committee in the joint explanatory statement 
     accompanying the conference report on such a resolution.
       On June 3, 2023, the President approved the Fiscal 
     Responsibility Act of 2023. Section 121 of that act provides 
     for the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget to file an 
     allocation, consistent with the terms of the Fiscal

[[Page S4419]]

     Responsibility Act, to serve as a section 302(a) allocation 
     for purposes of budget enforcement in the Senate. The 
     allocation was filed by the Chairman of the Budget Committee 
     on June 21, 2023 (Congressional Record pp. S2180-S2181).
       The Committee notes that, under the terms of section 251 of 
     the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 
     1985, the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget may 
     increase the 302(a) allocation of the Committee on 
     Appropriations if certain conditions relating to funding of 
     specific programs are met. These provisions address such 
     programs as the costs of emergencies (sec. 251(b)(2)(A)(i)), 
     continuing disability reviews and redeterminations (sec. 
     251(b)(2)(B)), healthcare fraud and abuse control (sec. 
     251(b)(2)(C)), disaster funding (sec. 251(b)(2)(D)), 
     reemployment services and eligibility assessments (sec. 
     251(b)(2)(E)), and wildfire suppression (sec. 251(b)(2)(F)).
       On September 12, 2023, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
     revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee on Appropriations 
     reflecting permissible increases in the fiscal year 2024 
     discretionary allocation. These reflect an increase of 
     $8,000,000,000 in budget authority in the revised security 
     category for emergencies and $54,198,000,000 in budget 
     authority in the revised nonsecurity category for 
     emergencies, continuing disability reviews and 
     redeterminations, healthcare fraud and abuse control, 
     disaster funding, reemployment services and eligibility 
     assessments, and wildfire suppression, as well as their 
     associated outlays.
       The revised allocations to subcommittees for fiscal year 
     2024 are set forth below:

                                                                  FURTHER REVISED SUBCOMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024
                                                                                    [In millions of dollars]
