House Committee Funding Process
Pursuant to House Rule X, clause 6, the Committee on House Administration (CHA) reports an
omnibus, biennial “primary expense resolution” to cover the expenses of each standing and select
committee, except the Appropriations Committee.1 The resolution is based in part on committee
requests for funds to cover their necessary expenses for the two years of a Congress. The
budgetary requests include estimated salary needs for staff, costs of consulting services, printing
costs, office equipment and supply costs, and travel costs for committee members and staff. Some
costs, such as pension and insurance contributions for committee employees, are paid from other
appropriated funds, and are excluded from committee budgets.
Some committees discuss and approve their proposed budgets at committee organization
meetings. Committee chairs normally introduce House resolutions to provide their committees
with the requisite funds for the two years of the Congress. These individual resolutions are then
referred to the Committee on House Administration, which holds public hearings on each
committee’s request. The chair and the ranking minority Member from each committee typically
testify at these hearings.2
The chair of CHA then typically introduces an omnibus funding resolution, which, after its
referral to the CHA, typically serves as the legislative vehicle for a full committee markup. The
measure is then considered by the House.
Table 1 through Table 10 provide committee funding requests and primary expense resolution
authorizations in nominal dollars for House committees in the 104th through 113th Congresses.
Table 11 through Table 19 provide the authorization levels, calculated in constant (January 2013)
dollars, for the 104th-112th Congresses. All tables calculate the absolute and percentage difference
between the total requested and total authorized funding levels.
1 P.L. 79-601, Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, Section 202(b), 60 Stat. 834, grants the Committee on
Appropriations authorization to appropriate funds for its own activities.
