              REVISIONS TO ALLOCATION FOR HOUSE COMMITTEES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Spratt) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. SPRATT. Madam Speaker, under sections 211 and 320(c) of S. Con. 
Res. 21, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for fiscal year 2008, 
I hereby submit for printing in the Congressional Record a revision to 
the budget allocations and aggregates for the House Committees on 
Energy and Commerce, Ways and Means, and Education and Labor for fiscal 
years 2007, 2008, and the period of 2008 through 2012. This revision 
represents an adjustment to the Committees' budget allocations and 
aggregates for the purposes of section 302 of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974, as amended, and in response to the bill S. 1701--to 
provide for the extension of transitional medical assistance, TMA, and 
the abstinence education program through the end of fiscal year 2007, 
and for other purposes. Corresponding tables are attached.
  Under section 211 of S. Con. Res. 21, this adjustment to the budget 
allocations and aggregates of the Committees on Energy and Commerce, 
Ways and Means, and Education and Labor applies while the measure--S. 
1701--is under consideration. The adjustments will take effect upon 
enactment of the measure--S. 1701. For purposes of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974, as amended, a revised allocation made under section 
211 of S. Con. Res. 21 is to be considered as an allocation included in 
the resolution.
