Dear Mr. Chairman:
In response to your request, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has reviewed the Depart-
ment of Defense's (DoD's) use over the past several years of commercial aircraft in the Civil
Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) to support military operations. It has also examined DoD's proposal
to raise the limit on the amount of business that DoD can guarantee commercial carriers at the
beginning of each federal fiscal year to encourage them to participate in the CRAF program.
The enclosed report describes the analysis carried out by CBO's National Security Division. If
you would like further details, we would be pleased to provide them. The report was prepared by
David Arthur, who can be reached at (202) 226-2618.
Sincerely,
Peter R. Orszag
Enclosure
