   ALLOCATION TO SUBCOMMITTEES OF BUDGET TOTALS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2007

                                _______

                                _______
                                

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

                                 REPORT

    The Committee on Appropriations submits the following 
report pursuant to section 302(b) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974, as amended, and section 7035 of Public Law 109-
234.
    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 June 15, 2006, the 
President approved the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations 
Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane 
Recovery, 2006 (Public Law 109-234). Section 7035 of that act 
provides section 302(a) allocations to the Committee on 
Appropriations for fiscal year 2007. These allocations will 
remain in effect until the adoption by Congress of a budget 
resolution.
    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 an allocation 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 an allocation for the Committee for fiscal year 1999. 
Again, in August 2004, the President approved the Department of 
Defense Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 108-287). Section 
14007 of that act set an allocation consistent with the 
conference report on S. Con. Res. 95, the budget resolution for 
fiscal year 2005. That conference report was never adopted by 
the Congress.
    Set forth below are the allocations to subcommittees:
