Section 302(e) of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974 is amended by inserting ‘‘(1)’’ before ‘‘At’’ and by
adding at the end the following new paragraphs:
‘‘(2) If—
‘‘(A) a general appropriation bill as reported by
the Committee on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives is amended and that bill as passed
by the House reduces the amount appropriated for
any program, project, or activity from the amount
appropriated for that program, project, or activity in
that bill as so reported; and
‘‘(B) that bill as passed by the Senate reduces
the amount appropriated for the same program,
project, or activity from the amount appropriated for
that program, project, or activity in that bill as re-
ported initially in the House of Representatives;
then, upon the passage of that bill by both Houses of Con-
gress, the suballocations for that fiscal year made by each
Committee on Appropriations under subsection (b)(1) to
the subcommittee with jurisdiction over that measure shall
be reduced by the sum of the lesser amount of reductions
made for each such program, project, or activity by the
House of Representatives or the Senate, as the case may
be, and that committee shall report to its House—
‘‘(i) an adjusted suballocation for that sub-
committee with the appropriate reductions in levels
of total new budget outlays and total new budget au-
thority; and
‘‘(ii) an adjusted allocation for the committee
that is reduced by the reductions in new budget out-
lays and new budget authority made under clause
(i).
‘‘(3) FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS OF APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEES
ALLOCATIONS
AND
SUBALLOCATIONS.—
Upon the enactment of any rescission bill, the
suballocations for that fiscal year made by each Commit-
tee on Appropriations under subsection (b)(1) to any sub-
committee with jurisdiction over that bill shall be reduced
by the sum of the rescissions contained in that bill over
which it has jurisdiction, and that committee shall report
to its House—
‘‘(A) an adjusted suballocation for that sub-
committee with the appropriate reductions in levels
of total new budget outlays and total new budget au-
thority; and
