S. 1850 would permit the National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces, a private member organization, to periodically make changes to the memorial to chaplains who died while serving on active duty. The memorial is located in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Authorizing the organization to make changes to the chaplains' memorial would not affect the federal budget, CBO estimates.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Logan Smith. The estimate was reviewed by Leo Lex, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
