ENERGY AND WATER APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2006

Mr. GREGG. Mr. President, the energy and water development appropriations bill for fiscal year 2006, H.R. 2419, as reported by the Senate Committee on Appropriations, provides $31.245 billion in budget authority and $31.118 billion in outlays. The bill contains no mandatory spending. In discretionary budget authority, the bill is $1.5 billion above the President's request, equal to the 302(b) allocations adopted by the Senate, $1.499 billion greater than the House-passed bill and $1.089 billion more than the fiscal year 2005 enacted level.

I commend the chairman of the subcommittee and the distinguished chairman of the Appropriations Committee for bringing this legislation before the Senate. I ask unanimous consent that a table displaying the Budget Committee scoring of the bill be printed in the RECORD.

There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the RECORD, as follows:
