                   FURTHER CHANGES TO S. CON. RES. 21

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, section 302 of S. Con. Res. 21, the 2008 
budget resolution, permits the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee 
to revise the allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels for 
legislation that improves certain services for and benefits to wounded 
or disabled military personnel and retirees, veterans, and their 
survivors and dependents. Section 302 authorizes the revisions provided 
that the legislation does not worsen the deficit over either the period 
of the total of fiscal years 2007 through 2012 or the period of the 
total of fiscal years 2007 through 2017.
  I find that H.R. 4986, the National Defense Authorization Act for 
fiscal year 2008, satisfies the conditions of the deficit-neutral 
reserve fund for veterans and wounded servicemembers. Therefore, 
pursuant to section 302, I am adjusting the aggregates in the 2008 
budget resolution, as well as the allocation provided to the Senate 
Armed Services Committee.

21 be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
