              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. Mr. Speaker, under section 201 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 and aggregates 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 and aggregates for the purposes of sections 302 and 
311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended, and in 
response to passage of the bill H.R. 2 (Children's Health Insurance 
Program Reauthorization Act of 2009). 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 made 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.
