  STATUS REPORT ON CURRENT SPENDING LEVELS OF ON-BUDGET SPENDING AND 
   REVENUES FOR FY 2006 AND THE 5-YEAR PERIOD FY 2006 THROUGH FY 2010

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Nussle) is recognized for 5 minutes. I am 
transmitting a status report on the current levels of on-budget 
spending and revenues for fiscal year 2006 and for the five-year period 
of fiscal years 2006 through 2010. This report is necessary to 
facilitate the application of sections 302 and 311 of the Congressional 
Budget Act and section 401 of the conference report on the concurrent 
resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2006 (H. Con. Res. 95). This 
status report is current through January 27, 2006.
  The term ``current level'' refers to the amounts of spending and 
revenues estimated for each fiscal year based on laws enacted or 
awaiting the President's signature.
  The first table in the report compares the current levels of total 
budget authority, outlays, and revenues with the aggregate levels set 
forth by H. Con. Res. 95. This comparison is needed to enforce section 
311(a) of the Budget Act, which creates a point of order against 
measures that would breach the budget resolution's aggregate levels. 
The table does not show budget authority and outlays for years after 
fiscal year 2006 because those years are not considered for enforcement 
of spending aggregates.
  The second table compares, by authorizing committee, the current 
levels of budget authority and outlays for discretionary action with 
the ``section 302(a)'' allocations made under H. Con. Res. 95 for 
fiscal year 2006 and fiscal years 2006 through 2010. ``Discretionary 
action'' refers to legislation enacted after the adoption of the budget 
resolution. This comparison is needed to enforce section 302(f) of the 
Budget Act, which creates a point of order against measures that would 
breach the section 302(a) discretionary action allocation of new budget 
authority for the committee that reported the measure. It is also 
needed to implement section 311(b), which exempts committees that 
comply with their allocation from the point of order under section 
311(a).
  The third table compares the current levels of the discretionary 
appropriations for fiscal year 2006 with the ``section 302(b)'' 
suballocations of discretionary budget authority and outlays among 
Appropriations subcommittees. The comparison is also needed to enforce 
section 302(f) of the Budget Act because the point of order under that 
section equally applies to measures that would breach the applicable 
section 302(b) suballocations as well as the 302(a) allocation.
  The fourth table gives the current level for 2007 of accounts 
identified for

[[Page 648]]

advance appropriations under section 401 of H. Con. Res. 95. This list 
is needed to enforce section 401 of the budget resolution, which 
creates a point of order against appropriation bills or amendments 
thereto that contain advance appropriations that are: (i) identified in 
the statement of managers or (ii) would cause the aggregate amount of 
such appropriations to exceed the level specified in the resolution.

                            budget authority

       Enactment of measures providing new budget authority for FY 
     2006 in excess of $8,948,000,000 (if not already included in 
     the current level estimate) would cause FY 2006 budget 
     authority to exceed the appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 
     95.


                                outlays

       Enactment of measures providing new outlays for FY 2006 in 
     excess of $379,000,000 (if not already included in the 
     current level estimate) would cause FY 2006 outlays to exceed 
     the appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 95.


                                revenues

       Enactment of measures that would reduce revenue for FY 2006 
     in excess of $17,286,000,000 (if not already included in the 
     current level estimate) would cause revenues to fall below 
     the appropriate level set by H. Con. Res. 95.
       Enactment of measures resulting in revenue reduction for 
     the period of fiscal years 2006 through 2010 in excess of 
     $96,051,000,000 (if not already included in the current level 
     estimate) would cause revenues to fall below the appropriate 
     levels set by H. Con. Res. 95.

                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                 Washington, DC, February 1, 2006.
     Hon. Jim Nussle,
     Chairman, Committee on the Budget, House of Representatives, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed report shows the effects of 
     Congressional action on the fiscal year 2006 budget and is 
     current through January 27, 2006. 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. 95, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2006. Pursuant to section 402 of that resolution, 
     provisions designated as emergency requirements are exempt 
     from enforcement of the budget resolution. As a result, the 
     enclosed current level report excludes these amounts (see 
     footnote 2 of the report).
       Since my last letter, dated December 13, the Congress has 
     cleared and the President has signed the following acts that 
     affect budget authority, outlays, or revenues for fiscal year 
     2006:
       Valles Caldera Preservation Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-
     132);
       Naval Vessels Transfer Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-134);
       An act to provide certain authorities to the Department of 
     State (Public Law 109-140);
       Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 (Public Law 
     109-144);
       Department of Defense, Emergency Supplemental 
     Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, 
     and Pandemic Influenza Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-148);
       Labor, HHS, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
     Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-149);
       Second Higher Education Extension Act of 2005 (Public Law 
     109-150);
       Employee Retirement Preservation Act (Public Law 109-151);
       TANF and Child Care Continuation Act of 2005 (Public Law 
     109-161);
       National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2006 
     (Public Law 109-163); and
       United States-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement Implementation 
     Act (Public Law 109-169).
       The effects of the action listed above are detailed in the 
     enclosed report.
           Sincerely,
                                                 Donald B. Marron,
                                                  Acting Director.
       Enclosure.
