                       CHANGES TO S. CON. RES. 70

  Mr. CONRAD. Madam President, section 225 of S. Con. Res. 70, the 2009 
budget resolution, permits the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee 
to revise the allocations, aggregates, and other levels in the 
resolution for legislation that enhances medical care and other 
benefits for America's veterans and servicemembers. The revisions are 
contingent on certain conditions being met, including that such 
legislation not worsen the deficit over the period of the total of 
fiscal years 2008 through 2013 or the period of the total of fiscal 
years 2008 through 2018.
  I find that S. 3001, the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2009, which was cleared by Congress on September 
27, satisfies the conditions of the reserve fund for America's veterans 
and servicemembers. Therefore, pursuant to section 225, I am adjusting 
the aggregates in the 2009 budget resolution, as well as

the allocation provided to the Senate Armed Services Committee.
  I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record the following 
revisions to S. Con. Res. 70.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
