Letter to the Honorable John R. Kasich-Response [i] (March 2000)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo8100 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BLUDGET OFFICE Dan L, Crippen U.S. CONGRESS Director WASHINGTON, DC 20515 March 24, 2000 Honorable John R. Kasich Chairman Committee on the Budget U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman: This is in response to your February 18 letter requesting information about CBO's analysis of the President's budget for fiscal year 2001. Specifically, you asked CBO to: Compare the President's budget proposal with each of the three variations of the CBO baseline; Compare estimates of discretionary spending already enacted for fiscal year 2000 with the President's request for 2001; Total the number of programs that would be increased or decreased under the President's proposals; and Provide a list of the major programs whose spending would be increased or decreased. Table 1 shows projected budget authority and outlays for discretionary programs under the President's proposals and each of CBO's baseline variations. Table 2 shows the difference, in each year, between the President's proposals (as estimated by CBO) and each of the baseline variations. The President's request is significantly above the inflated variation for next year and slightly above most years thereafter and is substantially higher than either the freeze or capped variations. After adjusting for various timing shifts and other anomalies, CBO estimates that the President's budget would increase spending authority for discretionary programs by about 7 percent in 200 1-from $621 billion in 2000 to $664 billion in 2001 (see Table 3).
