Order Code 98-756 C CRS Report for Congress .Received through the CRS Web Defense Authorization and Appropriations Bills: A Chronology, FY1970-FY2006 Updated June 23November 8, 2005 Linwood B. Carter Information Research Specialist Knowledge Services Group Thomas Coipuram Jr. Information Research Specialist Knowledge Services Group Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Defense Authorization and Appropriations Bills: A Chronology, FY1970-FY2005FY1970-FY2006 Summary The passage of the Department of Defense (DOD) authorization and appropriations bills through Congress often does not follow the course laid out in textbooks on legislative procedure. Tracking DOD authorization or appropriation bills can often be confusing and time-consuming; this has been particularly true in recent years, when continuing resolutions (CRs) containing the DOD and other appropriation bills have been passed in lieu of the traditional 12 appropriations bills for the entire U.S. government. This report is a research aid, which lists the DOD authorization bills (Table 1) and appropriations bills (Table 2). This report includes all the pertinent information on the passage of these bills through the legislative process: bill numbers, report numbers, dates reported and passed, recorded vote numbers and vote tallies, dates of passage passage of the conference reports with their numbers and votes, vetoes, substitutions, dates dates of final passage, and public law numbers. Table 3 shows real growth or decline in in national defense funding for FY1940-FY2009. Table 4 gives a more detailed picture picture of both regular and supplemental defense appropriations from the 103rd Congress to the present (FY1993-FY2005). Table 5 shows the President’s DOD appropriations appropriations budget requests for FY1950-FY2005 vs. final amount enacted. Finally, key definitions are included. This report will be updated as legislative activity warrants.

Tables 1 and 2 present the DOD the Department of Defense (DOD) authorization and appropriations bills. The authorization bill establishes the agencies responsible for defense and sets the policies under which money will be spent: it authorizes the money to be spent. The appropriations bill actually appropriates the money. Ideally, the authorization-appropriations process should proceed in an orderly sequence with each step of the process generating a part of the paper trail. All of these steps should be documented in the Congressional Record as well as in many other official documents of the Congress, in private publications such as Congressional Congressional Quarterly Weekly Report and United States Code Congressional and Administrative Administrative News (USCCAN), and on the Internet [http://thomas.loc.gov/]. In the simplest case, the process begins with the President’s submitting his proposal (initially formulated by the Department of DefenseDOD and formally submitted by the President through the White House Office of Management and Budget) to the defense defense authorizing and appropriations committees. Then, for example, for the defense authorization bill, hearings are held by the appropriate House committees and subcommittees. The bill is marked up and an authorization bill is reported out, usually with a written, numbered report. This bill is debated in the House, amended or not as the case may be, and passed by the House with the vote noted in the Congressional Record. In the simplest situation, this bill would then be sent to the Senate, debated, and passed. However, the Senate can amend the House bill or report out its own bill, debate, amend, and pass it. If each Chamberchamber passes its own version, the stage is set for a conference committee to harmonize the two versions. This usually results in a printed conference report, which is then voted on by each Chamberchamber to complete congressional congressional action on the bill, which then is sent to the President for his consideration. Ideally, after the authorization bill is passed, the appropriations bill goes through this same process. Although conceptually a sequential process, authorization and appropriations bills can be considered at the same time or even passed in reverse order. CRS-2 Other patterns also emerge. For instance, the Senate can report out a bill, then substitute the text of the Senate bill for the text of the bill passed by the House while retaining the House bill number. The House can also use this procedure. A Senate or House bill can also have part of the other chamber’s bill inserted into it, or can be so heavily amended that it is unclear whether it is the Senate or House bill that is really being passed. Other circumstances can also occur, which make it hard to track a bill and its contents. Bills are sometimes reported out without reports. Instead of recorded votes, in which each Member is recorded as voting for or against the bill, voice votes can be taken, in which no individual Member’s vote can be identified. Bills can be approved by unanimous consent even though they may contain thousands of separate provisions, thus making it impossible to say for sure if a Member really supported a particular provision. Senate bills can be reported out before House bills. An appropriations bill can be passed before an authorization bill. Sometimes, after the September 30 fiscal year deadline has passed and work has not been completed on the regular appropriations bills, the Congress passes a continuing continuing resolution (CR) instead of some or all of the 12 separate bills whichthat fund the operations of the government. The CR can be temporary or permanent. Each year is unique, and it is rare that the “usual” pattern is followed. There are several types of votes: voice votes, teller votes, division votes, unanimous consent votes, but only when there is a recorded vote will there be a vote number and vote tally in the Congressional Record. The section below is based on “Methods of Voting in the House and Senate: Putting Member’s Positions on the Record,” from Congressional Quarterly’s Guide to Congress, 4th ed. (1991), pp. 430-31431. Methods of Voting ! Division vote — those in favor or opposed stand, and the chair takes a head count: only vote totals are announced and there is no record of how individual Members voted. ! Recorded vote — Members vote electronically, each recorded vote is given a sequential number and vote totals plus how each Member voted are recorded in the Congressional Record. ! Teller vote — an older method in which Members were counted as they passed between chair appointed tellers for the “ayes” and “noes”; only vote totals announced and no record of how individual Members voted. ! Unanimous consent vote — usually reserved for non-controversial legislation. ! Voice vote — the presiding officer calls for the “ayes” and then the “noes,” Members shout in chorus on one side or the other, and the chair decides the result. CRS-3 Table 1.

CRS-19 Definitions This section taken from CRS Report 93-317, A Defense Budget Primer. 21 Definitions1 1 ! Appropriation — One form of budget authority provided by Congress permitting Federalfederal agencies to incur obligations and to make payments out of the Treasury for specific purposes. Appropriated funds must be spent for purposes specifically designated by Congress but are not necessarily spent in the year in which they are provided. ! Authorization — Establishes or maintains a Governmentgovernment program or agency by defining its scope. May set a specific limit on how much Congress can appropriate for that program. Authorizing legislation is normally a prerequisite for appropriation. An authorization does not make money available. ! Continuing Resolution — Legislation enacted by Congress to provide budget authority for Federal agencies and programs in lieu of regular appropriations acts. CRs may be temporary (providing only stop-gap funding until passage of regular appropriations acts) or full-year (substituting for one or more regular appropriations acts). ! Supplemental Appropriation — An act appropriating funds in addition to what is provided in a regular annual appropriation act. Military and DOD civilian pay raises are often funded in supplemental appropriation acts. This section taken from CRS Report RL30002, A Defense Budget Primer, by Mary T.

NoteNotes: Amounts are for the basic Department of Defense appropriations bill only. Amounts exclude military construction (including family housing), military assistance program, and, except for FY1999, supplemental appropriations. Before the mid-1980s, supplemental appropriations were provided provided annually for pay raises and sometimes included substantial amounts for contingencies. In the FY1951 budget, Congress provided $32.8 billion in supplemental appropriations mainly for Korean War costs. Congress also provided supplemental appropriations of $12.0 billion in FY1966 and $12.2 billion in FY1967, mainly for Vietnam War costs. Supplemental amounts in other years ranged from zero in FY1953, FY1954, FY1955, and FY1957 to $4.8 billion in FY1974. Total for FY1999 includes $7,586 million in supplemental appropriations for Department of Defense programs normally provided in the regular Defense Appropriations bill. FY2005 level does not include emergency appropriations of $26,339 million.
