Providing for a conditional adjournment of the House of Representatives and a conditional recess or adjournment of the Senate.

2023

House of Representatives,

Committee on the Budget,

Washington, DC, October 29, 2013.

Hon. John A. Boehner,

Speaker, Office of the Speaker, U.S. Capitol, House of

Representatives, Washington, DC.

Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, to facilitate

application of sections 302 and 311 of the Congressional

Budget Act, I am transmitting an updated status report on the

current levels of on-budget spending and revenues for fiscal

years 2013, 2014 and for the 10-year period of fiscal year

2014 through fiscal year 2023. This status report is the last

update for fiscal year 2013, which ended on September 30,

2013. For fiscal year 2014, the report is current through

October 22, 2013.

The term ``current level'' refers to the amounts of

spending and revenues estimated for each fiscal year based on

laws enacted or awaiting the President's signature.

Table 1 in the report compares the current levels of total

budget authority, outlays, and revenues with the overall

limits set in H. Con. Res. 112 (112th Congress) for fiscal

year 2013 and H. Con. Res 25 (113th Congress) for fiscal year

2014 and the 10-year period of fiscal year 2014 through 2023.

This comparison is needed to implement section 311(a) of the

Budget Act, which creates a point of order against measures

that would breach the budget resolution's aggregate levels.

The table does not show budget authority and outlays for

years after fiscal year 2014 because appropriations for those

years have not yet been considered.

Table 2 compares the current levels of budget authority and

outlays for action completed by each authorizing committee

with the ``section 302(a)'' allocations made under H. Con.

Res. 112 (112th Congress) for fiscal year 2013 and H. Con.

Res. 25 (113th Congress) for fiscal years 2014 and the 10-

year period 2014 through 2023. ``Action'' refers to

legislation enacted after the adoption of the budget

resolution. This comparison is needed to enforce section

302(f) of the Budget Act, which creates a point of order

against measures that would breach the section 302(a)

allocation of new budget authority for the committee that

reported the measure. It is also needed to implement section

311(b), which exempts committees that comply with their

allocations from the point of order under section 311(a).

Table 3 compares the current status of discretionary

appropriations for fiscal years 2013 and 2014 with the

``section 302(b)'' sub-allocations of discretionary budget

authority and outlays among Appropriations subcommittees. The

comparison is also needed to enforce section 302(f) of the

Budget Act because the point of order under that section

equally applies to measures that would breach the applicable

section 302(b) sub-allocation. The table also provides

supplementary information on spending in excess of the base

discretionary spending caps allowed under section 251(b) of

the Budget Control Act.

Table 4 gives the current level for fiscal year 2015 of

accounts identified for advance appropriations under section

601 of H. Con. Res. 25. This list is needed to enforce

section 601 of the budget resolution, which creates a point

of order against appropriation bills that contain advance

appropriations that are: (i) not identified in the statement

of managers or (ii) would cause the aggregate amount of such

appropriations to exceed the level specified in the

resolution.

In addition, letters from the Congressional Budget Office

are attached that summarize and compare the budget impact of

enacted legislation during the FY 2013 and FY 2014 fiscal

years against the budget resolution aggregates in force

during those years.

If you have any questions, please contact Paul Restuccia.

Sincerely,

Paul Ryan,

Chairman.

Mr. Speaker, pursuant to sections 401 and 503 of House Concurrent Resolution 112 (112th Congress), the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2013, deemed to be in force by House Resolution 614 (112th Congress), House Resolution 643 (112th Congress), and House Resolution 5 (1136th Congress), I hereby submit for printing in the Congressional Record revisions to the budget aggregates and allocations set forth pursuant to this concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2013, as deemed in force.

These revisions are provided for the consideration of H.R. 45, a bill to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. A corresponding table is attached. These adjustments are made for the purposes of sections 302 and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, and other budgetary enforcement provisions.

House Concurrent Resolution 112 included the budget impact of repealing the Patient

Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-152) in its aggregates and allocations.

For enforcement purposes, however, section 101 of this concurrent resolution set the revenue aggregate at the baseline level estimated by the Congressional Budget Office. Sections 401 and 503 of the concurrent resolution on the budget provided for downward adjustments for the consideration of certain specified policies, among these is the repeal of these public laws.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn and convene for a pro forma session only, with no business conducted, on Friday, August 8, at 9:15 a.m.; that when the Senate adjourns on Friday, it adjourn under the provisions of H. Con. Res. 112 until Monday, September 8, 2014 at 2 p.m.; that on Monday, September 8, following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, and the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day; that following any leader remarks, there be a period of morning business until 5:30 p.m., with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each, with the time equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees; further, that at 5:30 p.m. the Senate proceed to executive session, resume consideration of Executive Calendar No. 848, and immediately proceed to vote on confirmation of the Pryor nomination, as provided under the previous order.

Mr. Speaker, pursuant to section 503 of H. Con. Res. 112, the House-passed budget resolution for fiscal year 2013, deemed to be in force by H. Res. 5, I hereby submit for printing in the Congressional Record revisions to the budget allocations and aggregates. The revision reflects the budgetary impact of H.R. 8, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which makes permanent certain tax policies enacted in 2001, 2003, and 2010 and would provide relief from the Alternative Minimum Tax. A corresponding table is attached.

This revision represents an adjustment pursuant to sections 302 and 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended (Budget Act). For the purposes of the Budget Act, these revised aggregates and allocations are to be considered as aggregates and allocations included in the budget resolution, pursuant to section 101 of H. Con. Res 112.

Sincerely,

Paul Ryan,

Chairman, House Budget Committee.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed to H. Con. Res. 112, which was received from the House and is at the desk.

I ask unanimous consent the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table.
