Title: The Tax Reform Act of 1985 (H.R. 3838): Interpreting the revenue estimates
Date: 1986
Summary: Estimates show that over its first five years, the Tax Reform Act of 1985 (HR 3838) would be revenue neutral, with a reduction in revenue from the individual income tax just offset by an increase in revenue from the corporate income tax. This report describes the major changes in the individual and corporate income tax systems that would produce these revenue patterns. Notwithstanding the five-year revenue estimates, the report concludes that the bill would not significantly increase the tax burden on corporate-sector income. Further, in the long-run, the bill may lose tax revenue compared to revenue that would be generated under the current tax system.

Title: The subsidization of natural resources in the United States
Date: 1986
Summary: The objective of this report is to review the various ways or forms in which the Federal Government affects the costs of mining and natural resource-based products of the United States. The report describes how current Federal laws and polices affect the market costs of livestock, timber, food and fiber, fisheries, water, hardrock mining, fuel minerals, oil and gas, hydroelectric power, and petroleum substitutes. The analysis is not restricted to any particular definition of subsidy, but rather attempts to identify any domestic circumstances where it would be possible to suggest that natural resource-based products marketed by the United States are not paying the full, immediate cost of producing or consuming that resource. The report also identifies some of the broader forms of assistance provided to U.S. industry that affect all industry, not just natural resources, or are applicable to more than one resource industry category.
