CORRECTION OF ALLOCATION — SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 80
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, the statement of managers of the conference report on Senate Concurrent Resolution 80, the first budget resolution for fiscal year 1979, includes, as required by section 302 of the Budget Act, an allocation of the appropriate levels of new budget authority and outlays among the committees of the House and Senate. This allocation will guide the Congress in scorekeeping spending measures affecting fiscal year 1979 as they are considered over the next few months. The House committee Chairman, Mr. Gismo, has received consent to make this change.
Unfortunately, there was a technical error in the allocation to the House Committee on Ways and Means. This error does not affect any of the functional or aggregate figures in the budget resolution, nor does it involve matters of policy. To remedy this error, the allocation to the House Committee on Ways and Means pursuant to section 302 of the Congressional Budget Act, contained in the joint explanatory statement of the managers of Senate Concurrent Resolution 80, which was printed in the RECORD on May 15, 1978, at page 13619, (cross-referenced from page 13715) was corrected yesterday by the House for the permanent RECORD.
I submit the corrected allocation for the RECORD.
The table follows:
