“Under section 422(a) of S. Con. Res. 13, the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2010, as revised by H. Res. 1493, providing for budget enforcement for fiscal year 2011, I hereby submit for printing in the Congressional Record revised 302(a) allocations for the Committee on Appropriations for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 and revised budget aggregates for 2010. Section (a)(1)(A) of H. Res. 1493 provides for adjustments to discretionary spending limits for certain Program Integrity Initiatives when these initiatives are included in an appropriations bill. The House amendments to the Senate amendments to H.R. 4899 (Making supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2010), as passed the House on July 1, 2010, included an appropriation for such initiatives in accordance with S. Con. Res. 13. At that time, I submitted an adjustment accordingly. However, the House receded from its amendments and concurred in the Senate amendments to H.R. 4899 on July 27, 2010. The Senate amendments did not include an appropriation for such initiatives. Therefore I am adjusting the allocations and aggregates accordingly to reflect the absence of these initiatives in the enacted measure. Corresponding tables are attached. These adjustments are filed for the purposes of sections 311 and 302 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended.…”
