S7134 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — SENATE May 22, 1995

BUDGET SCOREKEEPING REPORT

∑ Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I

hereby submit to the Senate the budget scorekeeping report prepared by the

Congressional Budget Office under section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of

the Congressional Budget Act of 1974,

as amended. This report meets the requirements for Senate scorekeeping of

section 5 of Senate Congressional Resolution 32, the first concurrent resolution on the budget for 1986.

This report shows the effects of congressional action on the budget

through May 19, 1995. The estimates of

budget authority, outlays, and revenues, which are consistent with the

technical and economic assumptions of

the concurrent resolution on the budget (H. Con. Res. 218), show that current

level spending is below the budget resolution by $5.6 billion in budget authority and $1.4 billion in outlays. Current

level is $0.5 billion over the revenue

floor in 1995 and below by $9.5 billion

over the 5 years 1995–99. The current estimate of the deficit for purposes of

calculating the maximum deficit

amount is $238.0 billion, $3.1 billion

below the maximum deficit amount for

1995 of $241.0 billion.

Since my last report, dated May 8,

1995, there has been no action that affects the current level of budget authority, outlays or revenues.

The report follows:

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE,

Washington, DC, May 22, 1995.

Hon. PETE DOMENICI,

Chairman, Committee on the Budget, U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.

DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The attached report

for fiscal year 1995 shows the effects of Congressional action on the 1995 budget and is

current through May 19, 1995. The estimates

of budget authority, outlays and revenues

are consistent with the technical and economic assumptions of the 1995 Concurrent

Resolution on the Budget (H. Con. Res. 218).

This report is submitted under Section 308(b)

and in aid of Section 311 of the Congressional

Budget Act, as amended, and meets the requirements of Senate scorekeeping of Section 5 of S. Con. Res. 32, the 1986 First Concurrent Resolution on the Budget.

Since my last report, dated May 8, 1995,

there has been no action that affects the current level of budget authority, outlays or

revenues.

Sincerely,

JAMES L. BLUM

(For JUNE E. O’NEILL).

VERSARY OF LUTHERAN WORLD

fRELIEF

∑ Mr. SIMON. Mr. President, 50 years

ago, when World War II left one in five

of the world’s Lutherans homeless,

U.S. Lutherans mobilized to help

through an agency they called Lutheran World Relief.

After the needs in Europe were met,

LWR’s horizons expanded to people in

need in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, helping people regardless of religion, race, or politics.

That ethic of aid for all who are in

need has shaped LWR’s work in relief

and in long-term development over the

last half century.

Lutheran World Relief’s vision responded to changing circumstances—it

grew from supplying disaster to cultivating partnership in development

with communities all over the world.

Fifty years later, LWR is again helping refugees in Europe—now in the

former Yugoslavia—as it continues to

respond to disasters and promote selfhelp development in places like Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Peru, and Rwanda.

Partnership has become LWR’s hallmark—addressing local needs with understanding, skills, and resources found

locally. LWR has focused on self-help

and built up local capacities for emergency and long-term work as well.

Working with partners to improve

health, promote food security, and increase employment, LWR has seen people and communities all around the

world improve their well-being.

LWR’s commitment to self-help and

capacity building offers numerous lessons and examples that aid works when

it is provided in response to local needs

and in partnership with local people.

Those lessons have not been lost on the

larger, government and aid agencies.

Increasingly, the U.S. Agency for

International Development has recognized that working in partnership with

local people and organizations is the

key to improving aid effectiveness.

LWR has also over the years taken

on the task of advocacy, bringing the

concerns of partners to U.S. public officials and advocating on their behalf.

May the accomplishments of LWR’s

first half century inspire the next 50

years.

HONORING BEA DISMAN

ftoday in this era of bureaucrat bashing, to tell my colleagues about one

particular civil servant who exemplifies all of the good qualities a Federal

employee should embody. I speak of

Ms. Beatrice Disman, the new Region

II Commissioner of the U.S. Social Security Administration in New York.

Bea Disman first came to my attention 12 years ago when she spent 6

months on my Senate staff, detailed by

Social Security to learn how the legislative process worked. Bea was a hard

worker, willing to start early and stay

late—whatever it took to get the job

done, and done well. Bea always was

willing to pitch in to help others. Couple these qualities with a fine intellect

and a genuine concern for people, and

there is no wonder why Bea Disman has

risen through the ranks to become one

of the top officials at the Social Security Administration.

With a Masters in Diplomatic History and a winning personality, Bea

Disman joined Social Security as a district office claims representative in

1965. Assigned to the Midtown Manhattan office, she worked her way up the

hierarchy until, in 1973, she was assigned to the New York Regional Office

as a Program Evaluation Analyst. In

1979 Bea was selected as Executive Assistant to the Regional Commissioner.
