Budget Issues: Budgetary Implications of Selected GAO Work for Fiscal Year 2001

Abstract

CBO and JCT provided cost estimates for many of our options. As in our April 1999 report, a brief explanation is included with the option if specific estimates could not be provided. Where estimates are provided, the following conventions were followed. For revenue estimates, the increase in collections reflects what would occur, over and above amounts due under current law, if the option were enacted. For direct spending programs, estimated savings show the difference between what the program would cost under the CBO baseline, which assumes continuation of current law, and what it would cost after the suggested modification. For discretionary spending programs the estimates show savings compared to the fiscal year 2000 appropriations in nominal terms (held constant for the next 10 years).
