            ALLOCATION TO SUBCOMMITTEES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2003

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, for the information of the Senate, I want to 
appear in the Record the allocations to subcommittees for fiscal year 
2003 by the Committee on Appropriations in the Senate.
  On Thursday, June 27, 2002, the Committee on Appropriations, by a 
unanimous rollcall vote of 29 to 0, approved the allocation to 
subcommittees for fiscal year 2003.
  These allocations were prepared in consultation with my esteemed 
colleagues, Senator Ted Stevens, distinguished ranking member of the 
committee, who stands with me committed to presenting bills to the 
Senate consistent with these allocations.
  Furthermore, Senator Stevens and I stand committed to opposing any 
amendments that would breach the allocations. We are committed to doing 
what we can to enforce discipline in the processing of thirteen, 
individual bipartisan and responsible appropriations bills for fiscal 
year 2003.
  I ask unanimous consent that a table setting forth the allocation to 
subcommittees be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
