On the recordFebruary 1, 1996

The majority leader is aware that the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 does not require the Congressional Budget Office to prepare an estimate of the impact of mandates on State and local governments for conference reports and that the Congressional Budget Office is currently preparing an estimate on this conference report. Based on discussions my staff have had with CBO, it is my understanding that this conference report does not include unfunded mandates.
