                       BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

  Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Mr. President, I submit to the Senate a letter from 
the Congressional Budget Office, dated today, that tallies the effect 
of enacted legislation on the fiscal year 2025 budget. There hasn't 
been any.
  The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 included provisions that acted 
as a budget for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. On May 14, 2024, I filed 
the budgetary levels used for the fiscal year 2025 budget; since then, 
no legislation has cleared Congress that changes revenue or mandatory 
spending by more than $500,000 over 10 years. The effects round to 
zero.
  I ask unanimous consent that CBO's letter be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                      Congressional Budget Office,


                                                U.S. Congress,

                               Washington, DC, September 19, 2024.
     Hon. Sheldon Whitehouse,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: This letter reports on the effects of 
     Congressional action on the fiscal year 2025 budget and is 
     current through September 16, 2024. It is submitted under 
     section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the Congressional 
     Budget Act, as amended.
       Since May 14, 2024, when the Chairman of the Senate 
     Committee on the Budget printed allocations, aggregates, and 
     other budgetary levels in the Congressional Record (pursuant 
     to section 122 of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, 
     Public Law 118-5), the Congress has cleared no new 
     legislation with significant effects on budget authority, 
     outlays, or revenues in 2025.
       This is the first current level letter for 2025.
           Sincerely,
     Phillip L. Swagel.
