                                                U.S. Congress,

                                 Washington, DC, October 27, 2022.
     Hon. Bennie G. Thompson,
     Chairman, Committee on Homeland Security,
     House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
     prepared the enclosed table summarizing estimated budgetary 
     effects and mandates information for some of the legislation 
     that has been ordered reported by the House Committee on 
     Homeland Security during the 117th Congress.
       If you wish further details, we will be pleased to provide 
     them. The CBO staff contact for each estimate is listed on 
     the enclosed table.
           Sincerely,
                                                Phillip L. Swagel,
                                                         Director.
       Enclosure.

       The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires the 
     Congressional Budget Office, to the extent practicable, to 
     prepare estimates of the budgetary effects of legislation 
     ordered reported by Congressional authorizing committees. In 
     order to provide the Congress with as much information as 
     possible, the attached table summarizes information about the 
     estimated direct spending and revenue effects of some of the 
     legislation that has been ordered reported by the House 
     Committee on Homeland Security during the 117th Congress. The 
     legislation listed in this table generally would have small 
     effects, if any, on direct spending or revenues, CBO 
     estimates. Where possible, the table also provides 
     information about the legislation's estimated effects on 
     spending subject to appropriation and on intergovernmental 
     and private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded 
     Mandates Reform Act.

H.R. 3756.........  Department of Homeland    Ordered reported........   09/14/22         750           0           0     Between zero               No          No          No     Jeremy Crimm

                     Research Act.
                    H.R. 3756 would authorize the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct research on mitigating the effects of climate change on homeland security. For the first four
                     years after enactment, the bill also would require DHS to report on those activities annually to the Congress. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3756 would not affect
                     direct spending or revenues. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have an insignificant effect on spending subject to appropriation. The bill contains no
                     intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
H.R. 7779.........  DHS Restrictions on       Reported................   08/19/22         750           0           0    Not estimated               No          No          No    Madeleine Fox

                     Concern Act.
                    H.R. 7779 would bar higher education institutions that have relationships with the Confucius Institutes or Chinese entities of concerns from receiving funds from the
                     Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The bill would require DHS to report to the Congress 10 months after implementation of the bill. CBO estimate that enacting H.R.
                     7779 would not affect direct spending or revenues. CBO has not estimated the discretionary costs of implementing the bill. The bill contains no intergovernmental or
                     private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
