          Mrs. Murray, from the Committee on Appropriations, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

    The Committee on Appropriations submits the following 
report on budget allocations for fiscal year 2025.
    Under the provisions of section 301(a) of the Congressional 
Budget Act, the Congress shall complete action on a concurrent 
resolution on the budget no later than April 15 of each year. 
The Congressional 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.
    On June 3, 2023, the President approved the Fiscal 
Responsibility Act of 2023. Section 122 of that act provides 
for the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget to file an 
allocation, consistent with the terms of the Fiscal 
Responsibility Act, to serve as a section 302(a) allocation for 
purposes of budget enforcement in the Senate. The allocation 
was filed by the Chairman of the Budget Committee on May 14, 
2024 (Congressional Record pp. S3678-S3680).
    This approach is not without precedent. The Bipartisan 
Budget Acts of 2015, 2018, and 2019 included an identical 
procedure for the provision of an allocation to the Committee 
for fiscal years 2017, 2019, and 2021, while the Bipartisan 
Budget Act of 2013 did the same for fiscal years 2014 and 2015. 
For fiscal years 2012 and 2013, such a procedure was contained 
in the Budget Control Act of 2011.
    In the absence of a budget resolution, the Committee has 
adopted internal guidance without budget enforcement procedures 
in the Senate. In June 1984, the Committee adopted a nonbinding 
allocation of nondefense funding. That year, the budget 
resolution was adopted by the Congress on October 1. The Senate 
did not consider a budget resolution for fiscal year 2003, and 
in July 2002, the Committee adopted a nonbinding allocation. 
Neither the House nor the Senate considered a budget resolution 
for fiscal year 2011, and on July 15, 2010, the Committee 
adopted its own ``Committee Guidance.'' For fiscal year 2014, 
the Committee adopted ``Committee Guidance'' on June 20, 2013, 
which was ultimately superseded by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 
2013. For fiscal year 2018, the Committee adopted ``Committee 
Guidance'' on July 20, 2017, which was superseded by the 
adoption of a budget resolution on October 26, 2017, and by an 
adjustment to that budget resolution resulting from the 
enactment of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018.
    The Committee notes that, under the terms of section 251 of 
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, 
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 the costs of 
emergencies (sec. 251(b)(2)(A)(i)), continuing disability 
reviews and redeterminations (sec. 251(b)(2)(B)), healthcare 
fraud and abuse control (sec. 251(b)(2)(C)), disaster funding 
(sec. 251(b)(2)(D)), reemployment services and eligibility 
assessments (sec. 251(b)(2)(E)), and wildfire suppression (sec. 
251(b)(2)(F)).
    Set forth below are the allocations to subcommittees:

                                                                          SUBCOMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025
