       CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE                           Keith Hall, Director
       U.S. Congress
       Washington, DC 20515

Honorable John McCain
Chairman
Committee  on Armed Services
United States Senate
Washington, DC  20510

Dear Mr. Chairman:

The Congressional Budget Office has completed an estimate of the direct spending and
revenue effects of S. 1519, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018,
as reported by the Senate Committee on Armed Services on July 10, 2017. CBO's
complete cost estimate for S. 1519, including discretionary costs, will be provided
shortly.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 1519 would increase direct spending by $621 million
over the 2018-2027 period, primarily through adjustments to the TRICARE Health
Benefit and the Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance. (See attached table). The bill
would have an insignificant effect on revenues.

Because enacting the bill would affect direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go
procedures apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 1519 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning
in 2028.
