  STATUS REPORT ON CURRENT SPENDING LEVELS OF ON-BUDGET SPENDING AND 
REVENUES FOR FY 2007 AND FY 2008 AND THE 5-YEAR PERIOD FY 2007 THROUGH 
                                FY 2008

  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. Mr. Speaker, I am transmitting a status report on the 
current levels of on-budget spending and revenues for fiscal years 2007 
and 2008 and for the 5-year period of fiscal years 2008 through 2012. 
This report is necessary to facilitate the application of sections 302 
and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act and sections 204, 206 and 207 
of S. Con. Res. 21, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal 
Year 2008.
  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 
by S. Con. Res. 21. 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 second table compares the current levels of discretionary 
appropriations for fiscal years 2007 and 2008 with the ``section 
302(b)'' suballocations of discretionary budget authority and outlays 
among Appropriations subcommittees. The comparison is needed to enforce 
section 302(f) of the Budget Act because the point of order under that 
section applies to measures that would breach the applicable section 
302(b) suballocation.
  The third table compares the current levels of budget authority and 
outlays for each authorizing committee with the ``section 302(a)'' 
allocations made under S. Con. Res. 21 for fiscal years 2007 and 2008 
and fiscal years 2008 through 2012. 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) allocation 
of new budget authority for the committee that reported the measure.
  The fourth table gives the current level for fiscal years 2009 and 
2010 for accounts identified for advance appropriations under section 
206 of S. Con. Res. 21. This list is needed to enforce section 206 of 
the budget resolution, which creates a point of order against 
appropriation bills that contain advance appropriations that: (i) are 
not identified in the statement of managers; or (ii) would cause the 
aggregate amount of such appropriations to exceed the level specified 
in the resolution.

  spending covered by section 207(d)( I)(E) (overseas deployments and
  related activities), resolution assumptions are not included in the
  appropriate level.
\2\ Not applicable because annual appropriations Acts for fiscal years
  2009 through 2012 will not he considered until future sessions of
  Congress.

                            BUDGET AUTHORITY

       For purposes of section 311 of the Congressional Budget 
     Act, appropriations bills will generally be scored without 
     regard to levels in the continuing resolution that expire on 
     November 16, 2007. The continuing resolution provides 
     $923,554 million in budget authority on an annualized basis. 
     Thus enactment of measures that provide new budget authority 
     for FY 2008 in excess of $928,523 million (if not already 
     included in the current level estimate) would cause FY 2008 
     budget authority to exceed the appropriate level set by S. 
     Con. Res. 21.

                                OUTLAYS

       For purposes of section 311 of the Congressional Budget 
     Act, appropriations bills will generally be scored without 
     regard to levels in the continuing resolution that expire on 
     November 16, 2007. The continuing resolution results in 
     $585,600 million in outlays on an annualized basis. Thus 
     enactment of measures providing new outlays for FY 2008 in 
     excess of $587,273 million if not already included in the 
     current level estimate) would cause FY 2008 outlays to exceed 
     the appropriate level set by S. Con. Res. 21.


                                REVENUES

       Enactment of measures resulting in revenue reduction for FY 
     2008 in excess of $34,577 million (if not already included in 
     the current estimate) would cause FY 2008 revenue to fall 
     below the appropriate level set by S. Con. Res. 21.
       Enactment of measures resulting in revenue reduction for 
     the period of fiscal years 2008 through 2012 in excess of 
     $176,017 million (if not already included in the current 
     level estimate) would cause revenues to fall below the 
     appropriate levels set by S. Con. Res. 21.

                                      Congressional Budget Office,


                                                U.S. Congress,

                                 Washington, DC, October 24, 2007.
     Hon. John M. Spratt Jr.,
     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 2007 budget and is 
     current through October 1, 2007. 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 
     S. Con. Res. 21, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2008, as approved by the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives.
       Pursuant to section 204(b) of S. Con. Res. 21, 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 1 of the report).
       Since my last letter to you, dated September 6, 2007, the 
     Congress has cleared and the President has signed the College 
     Cost Reduction and Access Act (Public Law 110-84), which 
     affects budget authority and outlays for fiscal year 2007. 
     (That act also affects spending in subsequent years.)
           Sincerely,
                                                Robert A. Sunshine
                                     (For Peter Orszag, Director).
       Enclosure.

\1\ Pursuant to section 204(b) of S. Con. Res. 21, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2008,
  provisions designated as emergency requirements are exempt from enforcement of the budget resolution. The
  amounts so designated for fiscal year 2007, which are not included in the current level totals, are as
  follows:


U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq         120,803          31,116           n.a.
 Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (P.L. 110-28)..........
 
\2\ For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the House, the budget resolution

  excludes these items.
\3\ Periodically, the House Committee on the Budget revises the totals in S. Con. Res. 21, pursuant to various
  provisions of the resolution:

\4\ S. Con. Res. 21 assumed $124,789 million in budget authority and $31,926 million in outlays from emergency
  supplemental appropriations. Such emergency amounts are exempt from the enforcement of the budget resolution.
  Since current level totals exclude the emergency requirements enacted in P.L. 110-28 (see footnote 1 above),
  budget authority and outlay totals specified in the budget resolution also have been reduced (by the amounts
  assumed for emergency supplemental appropriations) for purposes of comparison.

                                                    U.S. Congress,


                                  Congressional Budget Office,

                                 Washington, DC, October 24, 2007.
     Hon. John M. Spratt Jr.,
     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 2008 budget and is 
     current through October 19, 2007. 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 
     S. Con. Res. 21, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for 
     Fiscal Year 2008, as approved by the Senate and the House of 
     Representatives.
       Pursuant to section 204(b) of S. Con. Res. 21, 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 1 of the report).
       Since my last letter to you, dated September 6, 2007, the 
     Congress has cleared and the President has signed the 
     following acts that affect budget authority, outlays, or 
     revenues for fiscal year 2008: College Cost Reduction and 
     Access Act (Public Law 110-84); Food and Drug Administration 
     Amendments Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-85); an act to extend 
     the trade adjustment assistance program under the Trade Act 
     of 1974 for 3 months (Public Law 110-89); TMA, Abstinence 
     Education, and QI Programs Extension Act of 2007 (Public Law 
     110-90); and an act making continuing appropriations for the 
     fiscal year 2008, and for other purposes (Public Law 110-92).
       In addition, the Congress has cleared the Water Resources 
     Development Act of 2007 (H.R. 1495) for the President's 
     signature.
           Sincerely,
                                                Robert A. Sunshine
                                  (For Peter R. Orszag, Director).
       Enclosure.

                       FISCAL YEAR 2008 HOUSE CURRENT LEVEL REPORT AS OF OCTOBER 19, 2007

\1\ Pursuant to section 204(b) of S. Con. Res. 21, the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2008,

  amounts so designated for fiscal year 2008, which are not included in the current level totals, are as
  follows:

\2\ For purposes of enforcing section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act in the House, the budget resolution
  does not include budget authority, outlays, or revenues for off-budget amounts. As a result, current level
  excludes these items.

  provisions of the resolution:

  supplemental appropriations. Such emergency amounts are exempt from the enforcement of the budget resolution.
  Since current level totals exclude the emergency requirements enacted in P.L. 110-28 (see footnote 1 above),
  budget authority and outlay totals specified in the budget resolution also have been reduced (by the amounts
  assumed for emergency supplemental appropriations) for purposes of comparison.
\5\ Section 207(d)(1)(E) of S. Con. Res. 21 assumed $145,162 million in budget authority and $65,754 million in
  outlays for overseas deployment and related activities. Pending action by the House Committee an
  Appropriations, the House Committee on the Budget has directed that these amounts be excluded from the budget
  resolution aggregates in the current level report.
