                          BUDGETARY REVISIONS

  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Mr. President, the Senate will soon consider H.R. 
2882, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024. The 
legislation contains funding eligible for allocation adjustments 
including appropriations designated as emergency funding. Today, I am 
adjusting the allocation to the Committee on Appropriations, 
colloquially known as the 302(a), consistent with those appropriations.
  Section 314(a) of the Congressional Budget Act allows the chairman of 
the Budget Committee to revise budget allocations, aggregates, and 
levels consistent with pending legislation. This bill contains $2.5 
billion of emergency-designated discretionary funding, a decrease from 
the $20 billion that was contained in the versions of this bill 
originally reported out of the Senate Appropriations Committee. 
Together with the $10 billion of emergency funding in the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act of 2024 that was enacted earlier this month, these 
bills comply with the January agreement between the Senate majority 
leader and the Speaker of the House.
  Division G of the bill contains several authorizing provisions, such 
as a further extension of the nuclear reactor liability policy known as 
the Price-Anderson Act and as called for by my nuclear bill, the 
ADVANCE Act, that are paid for over 10 years.
  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:
