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 be confusing and time-consuming. This has been
particularly true in recent years, when continuing resolutions (CRs) and consolidated
appropriations bills containing the DOD and other appropriations bills have been enacted in lieu
of the 12 regular appropriations bills for the entire U.S. government.
This report is a research aid that lists the DOD authorization bills (Table 1 and Table 2) and
appropriations bills (Table 3 and Table 4) for FY1961-FY2021. This report includes 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. Significant definitions are also included. This report will be updated as
legislative activity warrants.
For information on current defense authorization and appropriations, see the CRS Appropriations
Status Table: FY2021.

The DOD Authorization-Appropriations Process
Before 1961, no prior authorization was required for defense appropriations, except for construction funds. In 1959, the Armed Services
Committees attached a rider to the construction authorization (P.L. 86-149) to require prior authorization of appropriations to procure planes,
missiles, and ships, beginning in 1961. The committees hoped thereby to recapture a share of the control over defense programs exercised by the
Appropriations Committees alone.1
Congress oversees the defense budget primarily through two yearly bills: the defense authorization and defense appropriations bills. Table 2 and
Table 4 present the Department of Defense (DOD) authorization and appropriations bills from 1970 to 2021.2 The authorization bill establishes
and organizes the agencies responsible for national defense, sets policies for the department, and authorizes the appropriations of funds in
accordance with 10 U.S.C. §114. The appropriations bill provides budget authority for military departments and defense agencies to draw funds
from the Treasury.
Authorizations and Appropriations
The congressional budget process distinguishes between “authorizations,” which establish or define the activities of the federal government, and “appropriations,” which
finance those activities. In itself an authorization does not provide funding for government activities. An authorization generally provides legal authority for the government
to act, usually by establishing, continuing, or restricting a federal agency, program, policy, project, or activity. It may also, explicitly or implicitly, authorize subsequent
congressional action to provide appropriations for those purposes. An appropriation generally provides both the legal authority to obligate future payments from the
Treasury, and the ability to make subsequent payments to satisfy those obligations.
In most instances, the authorization-appropriations process would proceed in an orderly sequence with each step of the process generating a part
of the information trail. All of these steps would 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 Congress.gov. Data in Table 1 and Table 3 are mostly from the Congressional Quarterly Almanac. These tables
reflect an earlier authorization-appropriations process from 1961 to 1969.

2 Appropriations for military construction (MILCON) are authorized in the defense authorization act but are enacted through a separate Military Construction, Veterans Affairs,
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. Other defense-related activities are funded through other appropriations bills. For more information on MILCON, see CRS Report
R44710, Military Construction: Authorities, Process, and Frequently Asked Questions, by G. James Herrera and CRS In Focus IF11775, FY2021 Military Construction
Appropriations: An Overview of Division J of P.L. 116-260, by Brendan W. McGarry and G. James Herrera.
CRS-4

In the simplest case, the process begins with the President submitting his budget proposal (initially formulated by DOD and formally submitted
by the President through the 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. 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 the House and Senate versions differ, the stage is set for reconciling differences. This may be accomplished by a conference committee
appointed by the leadership of each chamber. This committee then negotiates a compromise bill that is reported to both houses. Votes on the
conference agreement are then taken in both chambers. If passed, it is sent to the President for his consideration and signature.
In most instances, 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.
Legislative text―and the associated bill number―come together for consideration on the floor in a variety of ways. For instance, the Senate can
report out a bill, and then substitute the text of the Senate bill for the text of the bill passed by the House while retaining the House bill number.3
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 the underlying text originated in the Senate or House bill.
Other events can occur to render the tracking of a bill and its contents difficult. Bills are sometimes reported out without an accompanying
committee report to provide context for the legislative language. Voice votes or unanimous consent agreements may be granted instead of
recorded votes, rendering it impossible to determine which Member voted for or against the bill or amendments offered during floor
consideration. In addition, there may be times when a fiscal year ends without the enactment of some appropriations bills. Under those
circumstances, Congress usually passes a continuing resolution (CR), which grants a temporary extension of budget authority for a specified
period of time and purpose. CRs also typically specify that the funds provided may be used only for activities funded in the previous fiscal year.
For more information on the components of a CR and the defense budget, see CRS Report R42647, Continuing Resolutions: Overview of
Components and Practices, coordinated by Kate P. McClanahan.

3 Article I, Section 7, of the Constitution requires that “all Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives, but the Senate may propose or concur with
Amendments as on other Bills.”

Methods of Voting
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 the Congressional Quarterly’s Guide to Congress, 6th ed. (2008), pp. 582-583.
 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 are announced and there is no record of how individual Members voted.
 Unanimous consent vote—usually reserved for noncontroversial 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.

McGarry; CRS Report RS20371, Overview of the Authorization-Appropriations Process, by Bill Heniff Jr.; and CRS Report R42388, The
Congressional Appropriations Process: An Introduction, coordinated by James V. Saturno.
