    COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET 
  REGARDING REVISIONS TO THE AGGREGATE SPENDING LEVELS SET BY INTERIM 
            ALLOCATIONS AND AGGREGATES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kasich) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. KASICH. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Sec. 314 of the Congressional 
Budget Act, I hereby submit for printing in the Congressional Record 
revisions to the aggregate spending levels set by the interim 
allocations and aggregates for fiscal year 1999 printed in the Record 
on February 3, 1999, pursuant to H. Res. 5. H.R. 1141, the conference 
report to accompany the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations and 
Rescissions Act for fiscal year 1999, adjusts the allocation for the 
House Committee on Appropriations to reflect $12,782,000,000 in 
additional new budget authority and $3,582,000,000 in additional 
outlays for designated emergency spending. In addition, the Committee 
on Appropriations will receive $25,000,000 less in budget authority and 
$2,000,000 less in outlays for funds previously appropriated for 
arrearages that were rescinded by the conference report for H.R. 1141. 
Overall, the allocation to the Appropriations Committee will increase 
to $585,555,000,000 in budget authority and $580,059,000,000 in outlays 
for fiscal year 1999.
  I also submit for printing in the Congressional Record an adjusted 
fiscal year 2000 allocations to the House Committee on Appropriations 
to reflect $1,881,000,000 in additional new budget authority and 
$1,806,000,000 in additional outlays for designated emergency spending. 
In addition, the outlay effect of the fiscal year 1999 budget authority 
of H.R. 1141 will result in additional outlays of $5,452,000,000 for 
fiscal year 2000. The rescission of funds previously appropriated for 
arrearages will result in $2,000,000 less in outlays for fiscal year 
2000. Overall, the allocation to the Appropriations Committee will 
increase to $538,152,000,000 in budget authority and $578,201,000,000 
in outlays for fiscal year 2000.
  The House Committee on Appropriations submitted the report for H.R. 
1141, the conference report to accompany the Emergency Supplemental 
Appropriations and Rescissions Act for fiscal year 1999, which includes 
$12,757,000,000 in budget authority and $3,580,000,000 in outlays for 
fiscal year 1999 designated defense and non-defense emergency spending. 
H.R. 1141 includes $1,881,000,000 in budget authority and 
$7,256,000,000 in outlays for fiscal year 2000 designated emergency 
spending.
  These adjustments shall apply while the legislation is under 
consideration and shall take effect upon final enactment of the 
legislation. Questions may be directed to Art Sauer or Jim Bates at x6-
