Re: CBO's Current Plan for Its Major Periodic Reports This Year

Dear Mr. Chairman:

The Congressional Budget Office is working to inform the Congress about the rapidly
evolving economic and budgetary consequences of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic and to
support the legislative process as the Congress confronts those challenges. To provide the
most accurate and useful analysis possible, we plan to adjust our usual report schedule.
I am writing to keep you abreast of those anticipated adjustments.

In April, we released preliminary budget and economic projections for fiscal years 2020
and 2021. Those projections incorporated dramatic changes in the budgetary and
economic situation that were expected to result from the pandemic.' We will follow that
up with a report-to be released on May 19-that will provide more detail about CBO's
assessment of key aspects of the economic outlook for those two years. Supplemental
material will include historical data and preliminary projections of a broader set of
economic variables for the 2020-2030 period.

CBO usually releases a summer update to its 10-year budget and economic projections in
late August. We expect to issue that report in early September, shortly before Labor Day.

CBO usually releases its long-term budget projections (which span 30 years) in the
summer, building on the 10-year budget and economic projections released in the spring.
