Statement of Administration Policy: Senate Amendment to H.R. 1 - One Big Beautiful Bill Act

STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY

(Senate)

The Administration strongly supports passage of the Senate Amendment to H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This bill implements critical aspects of President Trump's budgetary agenda by delivering bigger paychecks for Americans, driving massive economic growth, unleashing American energy, strengthening border security and national defense, modernizing America's air traffic control system, preserving key safety net programs for Americans who need them, while ending waste, fraud, and abuse in Federal spending, and much more.

President Trump is ushering in the Golden Age of America. H.R. 1 will build upon the unprecedented economic progress already made under his leadership. This bill will deliver the largest tax cut in American history for middle-and working-class families and small businesses. Not only will the bill make President Trump's highly successful 2017 tax cuts permanent, but it will advance his key campaign promises—no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, a Made in America Auto tax break, and additional tax cuts for our seniors on Social Security. It will also bring back jobs and bolster American manufacturing by making bonus depreciation permanent and providing full expensing for new factories and factory improvements. In addition, the bill makes permanent and enhances Opportunity Zones to continue the private sector driven revitalization of distressed communities across America.

With its passage, Americans will keep more of their hard-earned money while taking home much bigger paychecks that will unleash economic growth nationwide. The White House Council of Economic Advisers estimates that within the first four years of the bill's implementation, take-home pay for a family of four will increase by $7,600-$10,900 per year and that 6.9 to 7.2 million jobs will be protected and created. Additionally, the bill will lower costs by unleashing American energy through incentivizing expedited permitting, opening up federal lands for production, and eliminating spending on wasteful environmental policies.

This bill provides funding to protect American sovereignty and advance President Trump's "Peace Through Strength" agenda. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act delivers the single largest investment in border security in American history, ensuring that President Trump's widely supported and effective border security measures are made permanent. With this investment, we will stop the deadly flow of fentanyl from flooding into our communities, fully fund the border wall and physical infrastructure, provide hiring and retention bonuses for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and Border Patrol agents, detain and deport illegal aliens, and enable the Coast Guard to protect our shores. In the face of continued and growing threats from adversaries and competitors across multiple theaters, H.R. 1 is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rebuild our military with the first ever $1 trillion defense investment. H.R. 1 makes historic investments in the Golden Dome for America, shipbuilding, the defense industrial base, and new technologies to modernize our military and ensure it remains the world's most lethal fighting force.

Further, H.R. 1 significantly improves our fiscal trajectory by including the largest mandatory spending reduction in history—with substantially more savings than the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Acts of 1993 and 1990 on an inflation-adjusted basis. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act achieves these savings by ending waste, fraud, and abuse, and preserving critical programs, like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), for Americans truly in need. By putting into place commonsense work requirements for able-bodied adults, strengthening program integrity rules, and focusing program benefits on U.S. citizens, this bill will protect Medicaid and SNAP for the Americans that depend on them. The bill also achieves significant savings by cutting unnecessary spending, undoing radical policies implemented by the previous Administration, getting illegal immigrants out of the country and off taxpayer funded programs, and much more.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act reflects the shared priorities of both the Congress and the Administration. Therefore, the Congress should immediately pass this bill and send it to the President's desk by July 4, 2025, to show the American people that they are serious about "promises made, promises kept." President Trump is committed to keeping his promises, and failure to pass this bill would be the ultimate betrayal.

If the Senate Amendment to H.R. 1 were presented to the President, he would sign it into law.
