ALLOCATION TO SUBCOMMITTEES OF BUDGET TOTALS FROM THE CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION, FISCAL YEAR 2000
May 25, 1999.--Ordered to be printed
_______
Mr. Stevens, from the Committee on Appropriations,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
The Committee on Appropriations submits the following
report pursuant to section 302(b)(1) of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974, as amended.
The Budget Act requires that as soon as practicable after a
concurrent resolution on the budget is agreed to, the Committee
on Appropriations shall submit to the Senate a report
subdividing among its subcommittees the new budget authority
and total outlays allocated to the Committee in the joint
explanatory statement accompanying the conference report on
such a resolution. The conference report on the concurrent
resolution for fiscal year 2000 (H. Con. Res. 68) was agreed to
by the Congress on April 15, 1999.
AMOUNTS CONTAINED IN THE RESOLUTION
Pursuant to sections 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act
of 1974, as amended, the joint explanatory statement
accompanying the conference report on the concurrent resolution
on the budget for fiscal year 2000 (H. Rept. 106-91) contains
several allocations and suballocations to the Senate Committee
on Appropriations.
In summary, the Committee received an allocation comprised
as follows:
[In millions of dollars]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Budget
Category authority Outlays
------------------------------------------------------------------------
General purpose discretionary........... 531,771 536,700
Violent crime reduction................. 4,500 5,554
Highway................................. .............. 24,574
Mass transit............................ .............. 4,117
Mandatory............................... 321,502 304,298
-------------------------------
Total............................. 857,773 875,243
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Committee notes that, under the terms of several
provisions of the Budget Act, the chairman of the Committee on
the Budget may increase the 302(a) allocation of the Committee
on Appropriations if certain conditions relating to funding of
specific programs are met. These provisions address such items
as: funding for arrearages for international organizations,
international peacekeeping, and multilateral development banks
(sec. 314(b)(4)); funding of continuing disability reviews (sec
314(b)(2)); funding for the earned income tax credit compliance
initiative (sec. 314(b)(5)); and funding for adoption incentive
payments (sec. 314(b)(6)).
On May 19, 1999, the Committee on the Budget filed a
revised allocation (Congressional Record pages S5583-5584)
reflecting an increase of $1,881,000,000 in budget authority
and $7,256,000,000 in outlays for general purpose discretionary
emergency requirements. These adjustments cover the conference
report on H.R. 1141, the fiscal year 1999 Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations bill (Public Law 106-31).
ALLOCATIONS TO SUBCOMMITTEES OF DIRECT SPENDING
Section 302(b)(1)(B) of the Budget Act, requires that the
Committee subdivide its allocation of budget authority and
outlays to subcommittees between controllable and other
amounts. For the purposes of this section, amounts listed as
mandatory are not controllable. The following table sets forth
