BUDGETARY ENFORCEMENT LEVELS
Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, section 251 of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, BBEDCA, establishes statutory
limits on discretionary spending and allows for various adjustments to
those limits. In addition, sections 302 and 314(a) of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974 allow the chairman of the Budget Committee to
establish and make revisions to allocations, aggregates, and levels
consistent with those adjustments.
The Senate will soon consider S. Amdt. 901 to H.R. 3401, the
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and
Security at the Southern Border Act, 2019. This measure provides
supplemental appropriations to address humanitarian assistance and
security at the border. The measure contains spending that qualifies
for cap adjustments under current statute.
This measure includes $4,586 million in budget authority that is
designated as being for emergency purposes pursuant to section
251(b)(2)(A)(i) of BBEDCA. Of that amount, $145 million is for spending
in the security category and $4,441 million is for nonsecurity
spending. CBO estimates that this budget authority will result in
$1,048 million in outlays in Fiscal Year 2019.
As a result of the aforementioned designations, I am revising the
budget authority and outlay allocations to the Committee on
Appropriations by increasing revised security budget authority by $145
million, revised nonsecurity budget authority by $4,441 million, and
outlays by $1,048 million
[[Page S4558]]
in Fiscal Year 2019. Further, I am increasing the budgetary aggregate
for Fiscal Year 2019 by $4,586 million in budget authority and $1,048
million in outlays.
I ask unanimous consent that the accompanying tables, which provide
details about the adjustment, be printed in the Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
the Record, as follows:
