reduction, required outlay reductions and the amounts and percentages by which budgetary resources must be reduced. "(ii) The technical and economic assumptions used by the Director of OMB to calculate the excess deficit shall also be used by the Director of OMB to calculate the required outlay reductions, the unachieved deficit reduction and the amounts and percentages by which budgetary resources must be reduced, "(iii) For fiscal year 1988, except as specified in subparagraph (B)(iv), the Director of OMB shall use the same economic and technical assumptions (including outlay rates) that the Director of OMB used in the report submitted to the Temporary Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction on August 20, 1987. "(iv) For fiscal year 1989 and subsequent fiscal years, to the extent that the report submitted by the President for such fiscal year under section 1106(a) of title 31, United States Code, uses economic and technical assumptions (including outlay rates) that differ from those that will be used by the Director of OMB in the report to be submitted under subparagraph (B) for such fiscal year, the report submitted by the President shall explain and identify such differences. Such report shall provide an estimate of the deficit excess and net deficit reduction in the budget baseline consistent with the estimates that will be used by the Director of OMB in the report to be submitted under subparagraph (B) for such fiscal year. The report submitted by the Director of OMB under subparagraph (B) for such fiscal year shall use the economic and technical assumptions that the report submitted by the President indicated would be used by such Director. "(3) DETERMINATION OF REDUCTIONS.—

"(A) The aggregate amount of required outlay reductions for a fiscal year shall be determined as follows: "(i) The aggregate required outlay reductions shall be"(I) for fiscal year 1988, the amount of unachieved deficit reduction; "(II) for fiscal year 1989, zero if the deficit excess is equal to or less than $10,000,000,000, or if not, the lesser of the deficit excess or the amount of unachieved deficit reduction; or "(III) for fiscal year 1990, 1991, 1992, or 1993, zero if the deficit excess for such fiscal year is equal to or less than the amount of the margin for such fiscal year specified in paragraph (10) of section 257, or if not, the amount of the deficit excess for such fiscal year. The unachieved deficit reduction shall be $23,000,000,000 in the case of fiscal year 1988 and $36,000,000,000 in the case of fiscal year 1989, minus the net deficit reduction in the budget baseline for such fiscal year, but such unachieved deficit reduction shall not exceed $23,000,000,000 in the case of fiscal year 1988 or $36,000,000,000 in the case of fiscal year 1989. Net deficit reduction in the budget baseline for a fiscal year shall be the amount of the estimated deficit for such fiscal year based on laws enacted by, and regulations promulgated as final by, the snapshot date, as measured using the budget baseline specified in para-
