OMB COST ESTIMATE
FOR PAY-AS-YOU-GO CALCULATIONS
- LAW NUMBER: P.L.106-280 (H.R. 4919)
- BILL TITLE: Security Assistance Act of
2000
- BILL PURPOSE: (1) authorizes
appropriations for FY's 2001 and 2002 for security
assistance programs; (2) authorizes the transfer of specified excess naval vessels to certain
foreign countries; and (3) makes a number of policy, programmatic, and technical changes
to laws affecting U.S. security assistance.
- OMB ESTIMATE: P.L. 106-280 authorizes
the Secretary of Defense to transfer obsolete or
surplus defense articles in the War Reserve Stockpile for Allies to Israel for cash or
concessions to be negotiated by the Secretary. As a result, OMB estimates that sales
receipts will increase by negligible amounts until the authority expires in FY 2004. The
law also waives Colombia's payment of certain charges
associated with the 1999 sale of
five helicopters. OMB estimates that the waived charges will total $1 million in FY
2001.

- EXPLANATION OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OMB AND CBO ESTIMATES:
CBO estimates that the obsolete or surplus defense articles would be sold to Israel under
current law. CBO now expects that the Department of Defense will barter with Israel, and
therefore, scores foregone collections of $5 million per year. OMB assumes that Israel
would not purchase these items under current law. OMB expects that the Department will
sell these items to Israel under the new authority, and estimates negligible savings from the
sale each year.

NOTE: The cumulative effect of direct
spending and revenue legislation enacted to date is
currently estimated to result in an end-of-session sequester. The Administration looks forward to
working with the Congress to ensure that an unintended sequester does not occur.
