On the recordJune 26, 1996
I will send it back so the Senator can examine it. But on page 2, the Congressional Budget Office analyzes the outyears spending subject to appropriations actions and proposed changes. The estimated authorization level for fiscal 1997 is 268, and then they have a series of zeros out here showing no tailing increase. I will send this up to my distinguished colleague and allow him to look it over. Maybe after he has had a chance to examine it, he can respond to my question.
