          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 14007 of Public Law 108-287 and 
section 302(b) 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.
    Under the provisions of section 301(a) of the Budget Act, 
the Congress shall complete action on a concurrent resolution 
on the budget no later than April 15 of each year. In the 
absence of such congressional action, on August 5, 2004, the 
President approved the Department of Defense Appropriations 
Act, 2005, (Public Law 108-287). Section 14007 of that act 
provides section 302 allocations to the Committee on 
Appropriations for fiscal year 2005.
    This approach is not without precedent. A similar procedure 
(S. Res. 308; 101st Congress) was agreed to in the Senate on 
July 12, 1990, providing allocations for the Committee for 
fiscal year 1991. A similar resolution (S. Res. 209; 105th 
Congress) was agreed to in the Senate on April 2, 1998, 
providing allocations for the Committee for fiscal year 1999.
    The Committee notes that section 14007 of Public Law 108-
287 also permits further adjustments as allowed under the terms 
of the conference report on S. Con. Res. 95, the concurrent 
resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the 
United States Government for fiscal year 2005, as contained in 
House Report 108-498, filed in the House of Representatives on 
May 19, 2004.
    Set forth below are the allocations to subcommittees:
