Swagel, Director U.S. Congress Washington, DC 20515 July 8, 2020 Honorable Adam Smith Chairman Committee on Armed Services U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Re: Direct Spending and Revenue Effects of H.R. 6395, the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has completed an estimate of the direct spending and revenue effects of H.R. 6395, the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, as ordered reported by the House Committee on Armed Services on July 1, 2020. This estimate is based on the Committee Print 116-57 that was posted to the website of the House Committee on Rules on July 7, 2020. Enacting the bill would have an insignificant effect on net direct spending and revenues, CBO estimates. Our complete cost estimate of H.R. 6395, including a discussion of discretionary authorizations, will be provided shortly. Section 1101 would provide 12 weeks of paid leave to employees of several federally funded agencies following the birth, adoption, or foster placement of a child. Those changes would increase costs by allowing employees to use paid leave in situations where they are currently using unpaid leave, or by allowing employees who currently use paid annual and sick leave in those situations to instead defer that leave for use at a later date. Employees who accrue more unused sick leave would receive higher federal pensions if they retire. However, because relatively few employees who would use that leave will be eligible to retire before 2031, those additional payments would increase direct spending by less than $500,000 over the 2021-2030 period, CBO estimates.
