                       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. This report meets the requirements for Senate 
scorekeeping of section 5 of S. Con. Res. 32, the First Concurrent 
Resolution on the Budget for 1986.
  This report shows the effects of congressional action on the 2001 
budget through March 26, 2001. The estimates of budget authority, 
outlays, and revenues are consistent with the technical and economic 
assumptions of the 2001 Concurrent Resolution on the Budget (H. Con. 
Res. 290).
  The estimates show that current level spending is above the budget 
resolution by $33.9 billion in budget authority and by $21.8 billion in 
outlays. Current level is $14.1 billion above the revenue floor in 
2001.
  Since my last report, dated January 30, 2001, the Congress has taken 
no action that has changed budget authority, outlays, or revenues.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to print a letter and 
enclosures from the Congressional Budget Office in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                   Washington, DC, March 27, 2001.
     Hon. Pete V. Domenici,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
     U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed tables show the effects of 
     Congressional action on the 2001 budget and are current 
     through March 26, 2001. This report is submitted under 
     section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the Congressional 
     Budget Act, as amended.
       The estimates of budget authority, outlays, and revenues 
     are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of 
     H. Con. Res. 290, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2001.
       Since my last report, dated January 25, 2001, the Congress 
     has taken no action that has changed budget authority, 
     outlays, or revenues.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Steven Lieberman
                                   (For Dan L. Crippen, Director).
