SEC. 311. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING BASELINE 
REVENUE PROJECTIONS. 
For purposes of constructing its baseline revenue pro-
jections, the Congressional Budget Office should assume 
that any tax provision which is scheduled to expire under 
current law will be extended through the duration of any 
budget forecast by Congressional Budget Office so as to 
ensure that expiring tax provisions and expiring spending 
programs (other than direct appropriations) are treated 
in like fashion. 
SEC. 312. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING LONG-TERM 
BUDGET PROJECTIONS. 
For purposes of constructing its ten-year and long- 
term budget projection reports, the Congressional Budget 
Office should include an alternative scenario that assumes 
that mandatory spending programs grow at the same rate 
as average, projected nominal gross domestic product 
(GDP).
