Honorable Mac  Thornberry
Chairman
Committee  on Armed  Services
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC  20515

Dear Mr. Chairman:

The Congressional Budget Office has completed a preliminary estimate of
the direct spending and revenue effects of H.R. 2810, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, as ordered reported by the House
Committee  on Armed  Services on June 28, 2017. This preliminary estimate
is based on the Committee Print 115-23 of H.R. 2810 that was posted to the
website of the House Committee on Rules on June 30, 2017. CBO's
complete cost estimate for H.R. 2810, including discretionary costs, will be
provided shortly.

Several provisions of the legislation would have insignificant effects on
direct spending over the 2017-2026 period, primarily as a result of changes
to military health care benefits. On a preliminary basis, CBO estimates that
in total enacting H.R. 2810 would increase or decrease net direct spending
by less than $500,000 over the 2018-2027 period.

The bill also would add a specified offense under the military justice
system that CBO expects would increase the amount of fines and
forfeitures of pay, which are classified as revenues, that are assessed at
military courts-martial. Those increases would total less than $500,000 over
the next 10 years, CBO estimates. Because enacting the bill would affect
direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
