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

                                 REPORT

    The Committee on Appropriations submits the following 
report revising the section 302(b) allocation to subcommittees 
set forth in Senate Report 110-393 (June 19, 2008) and Senate 
Report 110-402 (June 25, 2008).
    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.
    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 2009 (S. Con. Res. 70) was agreed to 
by the Congress on June 5, 2008.

                  AMOUNTS CONTAINED IN THE RESOLUTION

    Pursuant to section 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 2009 (H. Rept. 110-659; filed May 
20, 2008) contains allocations to the Senate Committee on 
Appropriations for fiscal year 2009.
    The Committee notes that, under the terms of several 
provisions of the budget resolution, 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 programs as: continuing disability reviews and 
Supplemental Security Income [SSI] redeterminations (sec. 
312(c)(2)(A)); Internal Revenue Service tax compliance (sec. 
312(c)(2)(B)); control of health care fraud and abuse (sec. 
312(c)(2)(C)); reviews of improper unemployment insurance 
payments (sec. 312(c)(2)(D)); and costs of overseas deployments 
and other contingencies (sec. 312(c)(3)).
    On July 16, 2008, the Committee on the Budget filed a 
revised allocation reflecting an increase of $968,000,000 in 
budget authority and $892,000,000 in outlays, pursuant to 
section 312(c)(2) of Senate Concurrent Resolution 70 (110th 
Congress).
    Set forth below are the allocations to subcommittees:

                                              FURTHER REVISED SUBCOMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009
