Defense Authorization and Appropriations Bills: A
Chronology, FY1970-2001
Summary
The passage of the Department of Defense (DOD) authorization and
appropriation 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 containing the DOD and other
appropriation bills have been passed in lieu of the traditional 13 appropriations bills
for the entire U.S. government.
This report is a research aid, which lists the DOD authorization bills (Table 1)
and appropriation bills (Table 2). This 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. Table 3 shows real growth or decline in
national defense funding for FY1940-2005. Table 4 shows the President’s DOD
appropriations budget requests for FY1950-2001 vs. final amount enacted. Table
5 gives a more detailed picture of both regular and supplemental defense
appropriations from the 104th Congress to the present (FY1995-FY2001). Finally,
key definitions are included. This report will be updated as legislative activity
warrants.

Defense Authorization and Appropriations Bills:
A Chronology, FY1970-2001
The DOD Authorization-Appropriations Process
The Congress oversees the defense budget primarily through two yearly bills: the
defense authorization and defense appropriations bills. Tables 1 and 2 present the
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 Quarterly Weekly Report and United States Code and 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 the Department of Defense and formally submitted
by the President through the White House Office of Management and Budget) to the
defense authorizing and appropriation 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
appropriation 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 resolution (CR) instead of some or all of the 13 separate bills which 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, p. 430-
31.
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. Authorization Bills
In Tables 1 and 2 the following abbreviations and symbols will be used: H indicates that the Senate passed a bill with a House resolution number, S indicates
that the House passed a bill with a Senate resolution number. Dashes (–-) mean no original Senate bill, House bill number used. VV = voice vote, UC
= unanimous consent vote, DV = a division vote.

Definitions
This section taken from CRS Report 93-317, A Defense Budget Primer, 1993.
! Appropriation—One form of budget authority provided by Congress
permitting Federal 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 Government 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.

Table by Stephen Daggett, Foreign Affairs, National Defense, and Trade Division, CRS.

CRS-22
Sources: U.S. Office of Management and Budget, Historical Tables: Budget of the
United States Government, Fiscal Year 1999
, February 1998; deflators and figures
on Desert Shield/Desert Storm costs and receipts from Under Secretary of Defense
Comptroller; CRS calculations.
Notes:
Figures for FY1990 and beyond exclude costs and receipts of Operation Desert
Shield/Desert Storm.
Figures for FY1998-2003 reflect Administration projections.
No data are available for budget authority prior to FY1945.
Figures for budget authority reflect one unavoidable statistical discontinuity.
Figures prior to FY1976 are from DOD data that have not been revised to
reflect accrual accounting for military retirement in years prior to its adoption
in FY1985. Figures from FY1976 on have been revised by the Office of
Management and Budget to reflect accrual accounting. The difference,
however, is relatively small and does not significantly affect the figures as an
indication of trends in national defense funding.

Table by Stephen Daggett, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division, CRS.
Sources: For FY1950-74, Department of Defense FAD Table 809, issued Oct. 21, 1974;
FY1975-82 and FY1989-99, annual Appropriations Committee conference reports;
FY1983-88, Department of Defense Comptroller, annual reports on congressional action on
appropriations requests (FAD-28 tables);
FY2000-01, House Appropriations Committee.
Notes: Amounts are for the basic Department of Defense appropriations bill only and exclude
military construction (including family housing), military assistance program, and
supplemental appropriations. Before the mid-1980s, supplemental appropriations were
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 FY1953-55 and FY1957
to $4.8 billion in FY1974.
