Congressional Record, Senate, May 4, 2020, Page S2205 — Budget Enforcement Levels and Arms Sales

Summary

A page of the Congressional Record, Senate, dated May 4, 2020, at page S2205. Mr. Enzi files budget enforcement levels for fiscal year 2021 under the instruction in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019, covering allocations, aggregates and spending limits, and says the Senate's pay-as-you-go scorecard is being reset to zero for all fiscal years. The page then prints arms sales notifications under the Arms Export Control Act, including a proposed sale to the Republic of Korea of follow-on support for its F-35 aircraft valued at $675 million, with principal contractors named.
