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 filed 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.
On June 6, 1998, the Committee on the Budget filed a
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee reflecting a
decrease of $20,208,000,000. These amounts were withdrawn when
the conference report on the supplemental appropriations act
(H.R. 3579; Public Law 105-174) did not contain funding for the
IMF, and included a rescission in section 8 housing funds.
On July 28, 1998, the Committee on the Budget filed a
revised 302(a) allocation for the Committee reflecting an
increase of $18,172,000,000 in budget authority. These amounts
were provided under the provisions of section 314(b) of the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended, which mandate an
increase to the Committee's 302(a) allocation when certain
conditions relating to funding of the IMF and of arrearages of
certain international activities 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).
