2007 Supplemental Spending Bills in Government

January 10, 2007 Special Request (From the Official White House Request letter)

• Seeks legislative authority to liquidate $195 million in prior-year obligations for contracts and grants made by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
• Includes a Department of Homeland Security request to transfer $195 million in unobligated balances from TSA’s Aviation Security account ($175 million) and Transportation Security Support account ($20 million) to its Expenses account. These transfers will be used to liquidate obligations incurred against funds appropriated in fiscal years 2002 and 2003. The request is fully offset through transfers of existing unobligated balances.

March 9, 2007 Cancellation (From the Official House Request letter)
Includes a request to cancel $3.1 billion of funding from "lower-priority Federal programs" and excess funds, to offset funds needed to address a $3.1 billion FY 2007 funding shortfall, specifically cited by the White House as a shortfall for the Department of Defense plan to implement the recommendations of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The proposed cancellations affect the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, the Interior, and Transportation, as well as the Corps of Engineers.

March 9, 2007 Amendment Request for Spending Reassignment(From the Official House Request letter)
Includes an appropriations request for the Department of Defense, rechanneled into the FY2008 Budget. The proposals would reallocate $3.2 billion within the pending FY 2007 request; therefore, total discretionary budget authority for the FY 2007 supplemental would not be increased by these amendments.
