New Appropriations Subcommittee Structure

In early 2005, the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations reorganized their subcommittee structures. As a result, the area of coverage of the House and Senate subcommittees with jurisdiction over this appropriations bill are almost, but not quite, identical; the major difference being that in the Senate the appropriations for the District of Columbia originate in a separate bill.

The Bush Administration requested $126.1 billion for these agencies for FY2006, a slight decrease from the comparable figure of $127.7 billion for FY2005 (after a 0.83% across-the-board rescission that was included in the FY2005 Omnibus Appropriations Act, P.L. 108-447).

The Senate Committee also did not support most of the Administration's requested changes, while also providing significant increases for several programs.
