Because the Constitution gives Congress the power over spending of federal tax dollars, nearly every federal agency is influenced by the House and Senate appropriations committees. The congressional budget process is a complex series of legislative activities that includes budget resolutions, reconciliation to set tax levels and mandatory spending, and the annual approval of the 12 appropriations bills. In addition to these annual bills, appropriations committees regularly consider supplemental and emergency spending packages, as well as continuing resolutions (CRs) when final approval of appropriations is delayed. Reflecting the importance of the appropriations process, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) has developed a large team of subject matter experts in these processes and in the policy areas included in the 12 individual appropriations bills in particular.
The tables in this report provide the names and contact information for CRS experts on appropriations, and policy concerns related to the following 12 regular appropriations bills: Agriculture appropriations, Commerce, Justice, Science appropriations, Department of Defense appropriations, Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies appropriations, Financial Services and General Government appropriations, Department of Homeland Security appropriations, Interior appropriations, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education appropriations, Legislative Branch appropriations, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations, Department of State, Foreign Operations appropriations, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations.
Appropriations are one part of a complex federal budget process that includes budget resolutions, appropriations (regular, supplemental, and continuing) bills, rescissions, and budget reconciliation bills. This report is a guide to the CRS experts who have subject matter expertise in these processes, and in the 12 individual appropriations bills in particular.
The following tables provide the names and contact information for CRS experts on appropriations, and policy concerns related to appropriations. Table 1 is a summary table that provides the names and contact information for experts on general appropriations, appropriations jurisdictions and processes, and identifies the coordinators of the CRS appropriations products on each of the 12 regular appropriations bills. Tables 2-13 provide detailed lists of appropriation and policy experts associated with each individual regular appropriation bill.
