As reported by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on June 13, 2023.
Summary:
S. 1074 would require the Departments of State and Defense to identify and report to the Congress on U.S. goods and services that China relies on and Chinese goods and services that the federal government procures and relies on. The bill also would require those departments to report on policies to reduce the federal government’s reliance on Chinese imports and respond to potential coercive action by the Chinese government. On the basis of information about the costs of similar reports, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000 over the 2023-2028 period. Any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
Note:
Established in 1974, The Congressional Budget Office is a federal agency within the legislative branch of the United States government. It is charged with providing members of Congress non partisan, objective analysis of budgeting and economic issues to support the congressional budget process. Each year, CBO economists and budget analysts produce dozens of reports and hundreds of cost estimates for proposed legislation.
For the past several months I have been receiving directly from CBO links to which I now plan to begin posting selectively on this blog in the interest of information sharing. If there appears to be sufficient interest among readers of this blog over a period of time, I plan to continue posting selections I receive from CBO.
