               ENERGY AND WATER APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2006

  Mr. GREGG. Mr. President, the energy and water development 
appropriations bill for fiscal year 2006, H.R. 2419, as reported by the 
Senate Committee on Appropriations, provides $31.245 billion in budget 
authority and $31.118 billion in outlays. The bill contains no 
mandatory spending. In discretionary budget authority, the bill is $1.5 
billion above the President's request, equal to the 302(b) allocations 
adopted by the Senate, $1.499 billion greater than the House-passed 
bill and $1.089 billion more than the fiscal year 2005 enacted level.
  I commend the chairman of the subcommittee and the distinguished 
chairman of the Appropriations Committee for bringing this legislation 
before the Senate. I ask unanimous consent that a table displaying the 
Budget Committee scoring of the bill be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
