                          BUDGETARY REVISIONS

  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, section 251 of the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 establishes statutory limits on 
discretionary spending and allows for various adjustments to those 
limits, while section 302 and 314(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974 allows the chairman of the Budget Committee to establish and make 
revisions to allocation, aggregates, and levels consistent with those

adjustments. Today, the Senate passed H.R. 719, the TSA Office of 
Inspection Accountability Act of 2015, with Senate amendment 2689, the 
continuing resolution. This measure included a provision providing $700 
million to the wildland fire management account for the U.S. Forest 
Service in the Department of Agriculture that was designated as 
emergency funding pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced 
Budget and Deficit Control Act of 1985. The inclusion of this 
designation makes this spending eligible for an adjustment under the 
Congressional Budget Act.
  As a result, I am revising the budgetary aggregate for 2016 by $700 
million in budget authority and $700 million in outlays. I am also 
revising the 2016 allocations for budget authority and outlays to the 
Appropriations Committee by $700 million in budget authority for the 
revised nonsecurity category and $700 million in outlays.
  I ask unanimous consent that this notice and the accompanying tables, 
which provide details about the adjustment, be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
