Fiscal Year 2026 Enforcement Filing
Floor Speech
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, S. Con. Res. 33, the fiscal year 2026 congressional budget resolution, included a provision authorizing the chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to file enforceable levels in the Senate in the event the budget was agreed to without the need to appoint a committee of conference on the measure. The Senate adopted S. Con. Res. 33 on April 23, 2026, and the House agreed to the resolution without changes on April 29. As such, I am submitting the required filing.
Specifically, section 4101(b) of the fiscal year 2026 congressional budget resolution requires the chairman to file an allocation for fiscal year 2026 for the Committee on Appropriations and an allocation for fiscal years 2026, 2026-2030, and 2026-2035 for committees other than the Committee on Appropriations.
Section 2002 of the fiscal year 2026 budget resolution included reconciliation instructions to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the Committee on the Judiciary. Each committee was instructed to increase deficits over the 2026 to 2035 period by not more than $70 billion. Pursuant to section 3001(b) of the resolution, I am holding the corresponding amounts in reserve until the consideration of reconciliation legislation.
For purposes of enforcing the Senate's pay-as-you-go rule found in section 4106 of the fiscal year 2018 congressional budget resolution, H. Con. Res. 71, I am resetting the Senate's scorecard to zero for all fiscal years.
