SEC. 4006. BREAKDOWN OF COST ESTIMATES BY BUDGET 
FUNCTION. 
Any cost estimate prepared by the Congressional 
Budget Office shall specify the percentage of the estimated 
cost that is within each budget function. 
SEC. 4007. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON TREATMENT OF RE-
DUCTION OF APPROPRIATIONS LEVELS TO 
ACHIEVE SAVINGS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) H. Con. Res. 448 (96th Congress), the con-
current resolution on the budget for fiscal year 
1981, gave authorizing committees reconciliation in-
structions which amounted to approximately two- 
thirds of the savings required under reconciliation. 
(2) The language in H. Con. Res. 448 resulted 
in a debate about how reconciling discretionary 
spending programs could be in order given that au-
thorizations of appropriations for programs did not 
actually change spending and the programs author-
ized would be funded through later annual appro-
priation. The staff of the Committee on the Budget 
of the Senate and the counsel to the Majority Lead-
er advised that upon consultation with the Parlia-
mentarian, the original instructions on discretionary 
spending would be out of order because of the 
phrase, ‘‘to modify programs’’. This was seen as too

broad and programs could be modified without re-
sulting in changes to their future appropriations. 
(3) To rectify this violation, the Committee on 
the Budget of the Senate reported S. Con. Res. 9 
(97th Congress), revising the congressional budget 
for the United States Government for fiscal years 
1981, 1982, and 1983, to include reconciliation, 
which revised the language in the reconciliation in-
structions to change entitlement law and ‘‘to report 
changes in laws within the jurisdiction of that com-
mittee sufficient to reduce appropriations levels so 
as to achieve savings’’. 
(4) This was understood to mean changes in 
authorization language of discretionary programs 
would be permissible under reconciliation procedures 
provided such changes in law would have the result 
in affecting a change in later outlays derived from 
future appropriations. Further it was understood 
that a change in authorization language that caused 
a change in later outlays was considered to be a 
change in outlays for the purpose of reconciliation. 
(5) On April 2, 1981, the Senate voted 88 to 
10 to approve S. Con. Res. 9 with the modified rec-
onciliation language.

ered to be changes in outlays for the purpose of enforcing
