Repeal
Sec. 10120 of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-33) repealed this section of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (Public Law 93–344). Since the statutory text related specifically to fiscal year 1976, it was considered extraneous. The text below related to the House Budget Committee’s Explanatory Statement explains the original intent of the drafters of the Act.
Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee on Conference on H.R. 7130
The Joint Explanatory Statement from House Budget Committee Report on the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 stated the following:
Section 906. Application of Budget Process to Fiscal Year 1976
The Senate amendment provided for an application of the congressional budget process for fiscal year 1976 under certain conditions.
The conference substitute provides that upon agreement by the Budget Committees, and to the extent provided by such committees in reports to their respective Houses, the procedures of Title III and sections 202(f), 401, and 402 may be applied to the 1976 fiscal year. The managers anticipate that this advance application will be undertaken only if adequate preparation has been made, that it will be limited to certain parts of the congressional budget process, and that to the extent necessary substitute dates will be used. The managers recognize that it may not be feasible to go beyond the first budget resolution.

Reports Filed Pursuant to Section 906
Under this section (sec. 906. (CBA)), the Committees on the Budget of the House and Senate were given the opportunity to consider a concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1976 if feasible, but not required to do so. According to Senator Edmund Muskie and Rep. Brock Adams, Chairmen of the Budget Committees, they chose to invoke this section. H. Con. Res. 218 (95th Congress) was adopted, with the stated reason being the poor state of the economy.
