A REVISION TO THE BUDGET ALLOCATIONS, AGGREGATES, OR OTHER APPROPRIATE 
 LEVELS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2008 AND 2009 AND THE PERIOD OF FISCAL YEARS 
                           2009 THROUGH 2013

  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 section 207 of S. Con. Res. 70, the 
Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for fiscal year 2009, I hereby 
submit for printing in the Congressional Record a revision to the 
budget allocations, aggregates, or other appropriate levels for certain 
House committees for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and the period of 
fiscal years 2009 through 2013. This revision represents an adjustment 
to certain House committee budget allocations, aggregates, and other 
appropriate levels for the purposes of sections 302 and 311 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended, and in response to 
consideration of the bill H.R. 6275, Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act 
of 2008. Corresponding tables are attached.
  Under section 323 of S. Con. Res. 70, this adjustment to the budget 
allocations and aggregates applies while the measure is under 
consideration. The adjustments will take effect upon enactment of the 
measure. For purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as 
amended, a revised allocation under section 323 of S. Con. Res. 70 is 
to be considered as an allocation included in the resolution.
  Any questions may be directed to Ellen Balis or Gail Millar.

\1\ Current aggregates do not include spending covered by section 301(b)(1) (overseas deployments and related
  activities). The section has not been triggered to date in Appropriations action.
\2\ Current aggregates do not include Corps of Engineers emergency spending assumed in the budget resolution,
  that will not be included in current level due to its emergency designation (section 301(b)(2)).
 
n.a. = Not applicable because annual appropriations Acts for fiscal years 2010 through 2013 will not be
  considered until future sessions of Congress.
