   Mr. Stevens, from the Committee on Appropriations, submitted the 
                               following

                              R E P O R T

    The Committee on Appropriations submits the following 
report revising the allocations to subcommittees set forth in 
Senate Report 105-31 (June 19, 1997), and further revised in 
Senate Report 105-46 (July 10, 1997), Senate Report 105-50 
(July 17, 1997), Senate Report 105-57 (July 24, 1997), Senate 
Report 105-74 (September 8, 1997), Senate Report 105-77 
(September 10, 1997), Senate Report 105-88 (September 25, 
1997), Senate Report 105-91 (September 30, 1997), Senate Report 
105-104 (October 9, 1997), Senate Report 105-116 (October 28, 
1997), Senate Report 105-145 (November 8, 1997, Senate Report 
105-155 (November 13, 1997), and Senate Report 105-171 (March 
23, 1998).
    Section 302(e) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as 
amended, provides that at any time after a committee reports 
its allocations such committee may report to its House an 
alteration of such allocations. This report is submitted 
pursuant to this section.
    On June 27, 1997, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised 602(a) allocation for the Committee reflecting an 
increase of $3,741,000,000 in budget authority and $13,000,000 
in outlays (Congressional Record, pp. S6785-6786). These 
amounts were provided under the provisions of sections 202 and 
206 of H. Con. Res. 84, the concurrent resolution on the budget 
for fiscal year 1998, which mandate an increase to the 
Committee's 602(a) allocation when certain conditions relating 
to funding of international affairs activities are met.
    On July 21, 1997, the Committee on the Budget filed another 
revised 602(a) allocation for the Committee reflecting an 
increase of $8,766,000,000 in budget authority and 
$3,505,000,000 in outlays. These amounts were provided under 
the provisions of sections 203 and 206 of H. Con. Res. 84, the 
concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1998, which 
mandate an increase to the Committee's 602(a) allocation when 
certain conditions relating to funding of section 8 housing 
assistance and to funding of international affairs activities 
are met.
    On September 3, 1997, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised allocation for the Committee reflecting an additional 
$245,000,000 in budget authority and $230,000,000 in outlays. 
These amounts were allocated pursuant to section 314(b)(2) of 
the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended, which 
mandates an increase to the Committee's allocation when certain 
conditions relating to funding of continuing disability reviews 
are met. In addition, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised allocation to reflect an additional $700,000,000 in 
budget authority and $257,000,000 in outlays. These amounts 
were allocated pursuant to section 205 of H. Con. Res. 84, the 
concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1998, which 
mandates an increase to the Committee's allocation when 
conditions relating to funding of certain Federal land 
acquisition and exchanges are met.
    On October 8, 1997, the Committee on the Budget filed 
another revised allocation (Congressional Record, p. S10715) 
for the Committee reflecting a decrease of $486,000,000 in 
budget authority--from $8,666,000,000 to $8,180,000,000--in the 
special allowance for funding of section 8 housing assistance 
originally provided on July 21, 1997.
    On the same date the Committee on the Budget filed another 
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee (Congressional 
Record, p. S10716) of $127,000,000 in budget authority and 
$127,000,000 in outlays. These amounts were allocated to the 
Committee pursuant to section 314(b)(2) of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974, as amended, which mandates an increase to 
the Committee's allocation when certain conditions relating to 
funding of an Earned Income Tax Credit [EITC] compliance 
initiative are met.
    On October 28, 1997, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised allocation (Congressional Record, p. S11268) for the 
Committee withdrawing the $700,000,000 in budget authority and 
$257,000,000 in outlays previously allocated to the Committee 
on September 3, 1997, for funding of certain Federal land 
acquisition and exchanges. These amounts were restored by the 
Committee on the Budget on December 15, 1997 (Congressional 
Record, p. S12722), after the enactment into law of the 
Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1998 (Public 
Law 105-83).
    On November 8, 1997, the Committee on the Budget filed 
(Congressional Record, p. S12094) an increased allocation of 
$45,000,000 in budget authority and $43,000,000 in outlays 
reflecting the change in conference funding levels for 
continuing disability reviews.
    On November 9, 1997, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised allocation (Congressional Record, p. S12409) reflecting 
an increase of $140,000,000 in budget authority and $7,000,000 
in outlays for conference funding levels of arrearages in the 
Foreign Operations appropriations bill. On December 15, 1997, 
the Committee on the Budget further revised the allocation by 
withdrawing the allocation of $3,521,000,000 originally made on 
July 27, 1997, for International Monetary Fund [IMF] funding. 
On March 24, 1998, the Committee on the Budget will soon file 
an increase in the allocation of $17,861,000,000 in budget 
authority consistent with the levels recommended in S. 1769, 
making appropriations to the IMF. This amount was allocated 
pursuant to section 314(b)(3) of the Congressional Budget Act 
of 1974, as amended, which mandates an adjustment when certain 
conditions relating to IMF funding are met.
    The Committee notes that these allocations are consistent 
with section 302 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as 
amended. Section 602 of the Congressional Budget Act, one of 
the authorities under which previous allocations of the 
Committee for fiscal year 1998 had been filed, was repealed by 
section 10118 of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1997 (title X of 
the Balanced Budget Act of 1997; Public Law 105-33).
