        REVISED ALLOCATION TO SUBCOMMITTEES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2003

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, on Thursday June 27, the Committee on 
Appropriations, by a unanimous roll call vote of 29 to 0, approved the 
allocation to subcommittees for fiscal year 2003.
  On Wednesday July 26, after Congress adopted the conference report to 
accompany H.R. 4775, the fiscal year 2002 supplemental appropriations 
bill, I submitted a revised allocation which was modified primarily to 
conform outlays to the outcome on the supplemental.
  Today I submit a revised allocation which has been modified, 
primarily, to reduce outlays for each subcommittee to reflect the 
President's decision to release none of the contingent emergency 
appropriations in the supplemental. In addition, the allocation 
reflects final decisions on the conference report on defense and 
military construction appropriations bills.
  These revised allocations were prepared in consultation with my dear 
colleague, Senator Stevens, the distinguished ranking member of the 
Committee, who stands with me committed to presenting bills to the 
Senate consistent with the allocations.
  Furthermore, we remain committed to oppose any amendments that would 
breach the allocations.
