                          BUDGETARY REVISIONS

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I previously filed committee allocations 
and budgetary aggregates pursuant to section 106 of the Budget Control 
Act of 2011 and, on June 29, I revised some of those levels pursuant to 
the Budget Control Act. Today, I am further adjusting those levels, 
specifically the allocation to the Committee on Appropriations for 
fiscal year 2013 and the budgetary aggregates for fiscal year 2013.
  Section 101 of the Budget Control Act allows for various adjustments 
to the statutory limits on discretionary spending, while section 106(d) 
allows the chairman of the Budget Committee to make revisions to 
allocations, aggregates, and levels consistent with those adjustments. 
The Committee on Appropriations reported two bills that are eligible 
for an adjustment under the Budget Control Act:

       One, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for 2013 
     includes $93.297 billion in budget authority that is 
     designated as funding for Overseas Contingency Operations/the 
     Global War on Terrorism. That funding is estimated to result 
     in $50.697 billion in outlays in 2013.
       Two, the fiscal year 2013 disaster assistance supplemental 
     includes $55.957 billion in budget authority that is 
     designated as funding either for a disaster, $5.379 billion, 
     or an emergency ($50.578 billion). In total, that funding is 
     estimated to result in $8.974 billion in outlays in 2013.

  In addition, I am making corrections to the June 29, 2012, adjustment 
by removing the off-budget portion of the program integrity funding 
previously provided for continuing disability reviews and 
redeterminations.
  Consequently, I am revising the budgetary aggregates for 2013 by a 
total of $148.840 billion in budget authority and $59.302 billion in 
outlays. I am also revising the budget authority and outlay allocations 
to the Appropriations Committee by $93.409 billion in security budget 
authority, $55.845 billion in nonsecurity budget authority, and $59.671 
in total outlays.
  I ask unanimous consent that the following tables detailing the 
changes to the allocation to the Committee on Appropriations and the 
budgetary aggregates be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
