       LEGISLATIVE BRANCH APPROPRIATIONS ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2002

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I rise to offer for the record the Budget 
Committee's official scoring for S. 1172, the Legislative Branch 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2002.
  The Senate bill provides $1.9 billion in discretionary budget 
authority. Per tradition, that amount does not include funding for 
exclusive House items. The discretionary budget authority will result 
in new outlays in 2002 of $1.6 billion. When outlays from prior-year 
budget authority are taken into account, discretionary outlays for the 
Senate bill total $2 billion in 2002. The Senate bill is well under its 
Section 302(b) allocation for budget authority and outlays. In 
addition, the committee once again has met its target without the use 
of any emergency designations.
  I again commend Chairman Byrd and Senator Stevens for their 
bipartisan effort in moving this and other appropriations bills quickly 
to make up for the late start in this year's appropriations process.
  I ask unanimous consent that a table displaying the budget committee 
scoring of this bill be inserted in the Record at this point.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
