    P.L. 106-50 mandates the SBA to defer principal and interest payments due on smallbusiness loans if a military reservist is called to active duty and the reservist is anessential employee of the small business. This deferral would increase direct spending,because it would increase the subsidy cost of existing loans to small businesses, whichwould be recorded as an outlay in the year in which the legislation is enacted.

    The Act also establishes the Advisory Committee on Veterans Business Affairs andauthorizes the committee to accept and use gifts and donations, which wouldinsignificantly affect direct spending and governmental receipts.
