CRS Report for Congress
Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
Defense Authorization and Appropriations Bills:
FY1970-FY2008
FY2010
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
other appropriation bills have been passed in lieu of the 12 regular appropriations bills for
the the
entire U.S. government.
This report is a research aid, which lists the DOD authorization bills (Table 1)
and appropriations
bills (Table 2) for FY1970-FY2008FY2010. 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 of the conference reports
with their numbers and votes,
vetoes, substitutions, dates of final passage, and public law
numbers. Key definitions
are also included. This report will be updated as legislative activity warrants.

Defense Authorization and Appropriations Bills: FY1970-FY2010
The DOD Authorization-Appropriations Process
Congress oversees the defense budget primarily through two yearly bills: the
defense defense
authorization and defense appropriations bills. TablesTable 1 and Table 2 present 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 Congress, in private
publications such as Congressional
Quarterly Weekly Report and United States Code
Congressional and 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 DOD and formally submitted by the President
through the White House Office of
Management and Budget) to the 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 chamber 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 chamber to complete 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, Congress passes a continuing
resolution (CR)

instead of some or all of the 12 separate bills that 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, and
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 Members’ Positions on the
Record,” from Congressional Quarterly’s Guide to
Congress, 4th ed. (1991), pp. 430431430-431.
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.
