                the transfer) all of its assets at fair market value 
                and distributed the proceeds of such sale (reduced by 
                the liabilities of the partnership) to its partners in

    (a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States, in

    (b) Contents of Report.--Such reports shall contain the following:

        expenditure.
            (3) An analysis of the overall success of the tax

        such analysis.
            (4) An analysis of the extent to which further extending 
        the tax expenditure, or making it permanent, would contribute 
        to achieving such purpose.
            (5) A description of the direct and indirect beneficiaries 
        of the tax expenditure, including identifying any unintended 
        beneficiaries.
            (6) An analysis of whether the tax expenditure is the most 
        cost-effective method for achieving the purpose for which it 
        was intended, and a description of any more cost-effective 
        methods through which such purpose could be accomplished.
            (7) A description of any unintended effects of the tax 
        expenditure that are useful in understanding the tax 
        expenditure's overall value.
            (8) An analysis of how the tax expenditure could be 
        modified to better achieve its original purpose or if such tax 
        expenditure should be eliminated.
