                       BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I hereby submit to the Senate the budget 
scorekeeping report prepared by the Congressional Budget Office under 
Section 308(b) and in aid of Section 311 of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974, as amended. The report meets the requirements for Senate 
scorekeeping of Section 5 of S. Con. Res. 32, the First Concurrent 
Resolution on the Budget of 1986.
  This report shows the effects of congressional action on the budget 
through July 14, 1999. The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and 
revenues are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of 
S. Res. 209, a resolution to provide budget levels in the Senate for 
purposes of fiscal year 1999, as amended by S. Res. 312. The budget 
levels have also been revised to include adjustments made on May 19, 
1999, to reflect the amounts provided and designated as emergency 
requirements. The estimates show that current level spending is above 
the budget resolution by $0.4 billion in budget authority and above the 
budget resolution $0.2 billion in outlays. Current level is $0.2 
billion above the revenue floor in 1999. The current estimate of the 
deficit for purposes of calculating the maximum deficit amount is $56.1 
billion, $0.1 billion above the maximum deficit amount of 1999 of $56.0 
billion.
  Since my last report, dated June 21, 1999, the Congress has taken no 
action that changed the current level of budget authority, outlays, and 
revenues.
  I ask unanimous consent to have a letter accompanying the report and 
the budget scorekeeping report printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the letter and report were ordered to be 
printed in the Record, as follows:

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                    Washington, DC, July 15, 1999.
     Hon. Pete V. Domenici,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the 1999 budget and is current 
     through July 14, 1999. The estimates of budget authority, 
     outlays, and revenues are consistent with the technical and 
     economic assumptions of S. Res. 209, a resolution to provide 
     budget levels in the Senate for purposes of fiscal year 1999, 
     as amended by S. Res. 312. This report is submitted under 
     section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the Congressional 
     Budget Act, as amended.
       Since my last report, dated June 17, 1999, the Congress has 
     taken no action that changed the current level of budget 
     authority, outlays, and revenues.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Barry B. Anderson
                                   (For Dan L. Crippen, Director).
