Leahy Chairman Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Dear Mr. Chairman: CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) have reviewed Senate Amendment 1183 to S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act. (That amendment was posted on the website of the Committee on the Judiciary on June 21, 2013.) Previous Estimate for the Committee-Approved Bill CBO and JCT previously analyzed S. 744, as reported by the Judiciary Committee on May 28, 2013 (with changes incorporated into a star print on June 6, 2013).
