             to Title II of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year
             2018, As Ordered  Reported by the Senate Committee on  the Budget
             on November  28, 2017

       Dear Mr. Chairman:

       The Congressional Budget Office has prepared the attached cost estimate
       for legislation to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of the
       concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018, as ordered
       reported by the Senate Committee on the Budget on November 28, 2017.
       Title I of the legislation contains the Reconciliation Recommendations of
       the Senate Committee on Finance, which CBO  and the staff of the Joint
       Committee  on Taxation have estimated would increase federal deficits by
       $1,414.2 billion over the period from 2018 to 2027.' Title II of the
       legislation contains the Reconciliation Recommendations of the Senate
       Committee  on Energy and Natural Resources, which CBO  has estimated
       would reduce federal deficits by $1.1 billion over the period from 2018 to
       2027.2

       Summary   of the Legislation

       Title I would amend numerous provisions of U.S. tax law. Among other
       changes, the bill would reduce most income tax rates for individuals and
       modify the tax brackets for those taxpayers; increase the standard deduction
