  REPORT ON ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS DURING THE 
                             110TH CONGRESS

                                _______
                                

January 2, 2009.--Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the 
              State of the Union and ordered to be printed

                                _______
                                

Mr. Obey, from the Committee on Appropriations, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

    The Committee on Appropriations is the principal arm 
through which the House of Representatives exercises its 
constitutional responsibility to provide funds for the 
operations of the various activities of the Federal Government. 
Clause 1(b) of rule X of the House provides that the Committee 
shall have jurisdiction over the ``Appropriation of the revenue 
for the support of the Government.'' This responsibility has 
basically been vested in the Committee since 1865.
    The Committee has been established by the House with a 
membership of 66 during the 110th Congress. With relatively few 
exceptions, the responsibilities of the Committee are carried 
out through its 12 Subcommittees which in turn report to the 
full Committee. The Subcommittees are organized essentially on 
a functional basis with recognition of the existing structure 
of the Departments and agencies within the Executive Branch. 
(The jurisdictional assignments of Subcommittees during the 
110th Congress are displayed in Appendix D.)

                                  (1)

      

                   SUMMARY OF APPROPRIATIONS ACTIONS


                      Subcommittee Reorganizations

    The committee started the 110th Congress by reorganizing 
subcommittees. In the 109th Congress, the House Appropriations 
Committee had 10 subcommittees and the Senate Appropriations 
Committee had 12, many with different jurisdictions.
    In order to better organize and reduce differences in 
structure and jurisdiction with the Senate, the committee 
established 12 subcommittees. Among other changes, the 
Legislative Branch subcommittee--eliminated in the 109th 
Congress--was restored, and a new Financial Services and 
General Government panel with jurisdiction over the Treasury 
Department, the Federal Judiciary, the District of Columbia, 
and other agencies, was created.
    This new alignment resulted in more effective oversight and 
increased efficiency in negotiating and completing action on 
final bills. Additional details on the reorganization can be 
found in Appendix C of this report.

                            Fiscal Year 2007

    One of the first items of business facing the 110th 
Congress was completing action on nine of the eleven fiscal 
year 2007 appropriations bills not enacted by the last 
congress. In the interest of getting appropriations in place as 
quickly as possible for the fiscal year already underway, the 
Congress enacted a year-long continuing resolution, which was 
designed to address the Nation's most pressing needs as well as 
could be done under the constraints imposed by the budget 
resolution adopted by the previous Congress. While the results 
were not ideal, this path provided the best way to dispose of 
the unfinished business quickly and allowed governors, state 
and local officials, and families to plan for the coming year 
with knowledge of what the Federal Government was funding.
    The House then turned to the President's request for war 
funding. The initial bill approved by Congress was vetoed by 
the President due to the inclusion of a timeline for withdrawal 
from Iraq. The second package, which was signed into law in 
June of 2007, provided roughly $200 billion in funding for the 
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and included significant increases 
over the President's request for military and veterans' 
healthcare to ensure that our troops received the care they 
deserve. Appreciating that the wars were not the only 
emergencies facing our country, the bill included funding for 
homeland security, Gulf Coast recovery, agricultural disasters, 
and wildfires.

               Reform of Congressional Earmarking Process

    At the beginning of the 110th Congress, the Chairmen of the 
House and Senate Appropriations Committees called for 
suspending earmarking until a reformed process that would 
restore confidence in the system was put into place. In 
accordance with this policy, there were no congressional 
earmarks in the full-year continuing resolution used to 
complete action on the unfinished fiscal year 2007 
appropriations bills.
    The earmark reform process began with the inclusion of 
unprecedented earmark disclosure requirements as part of the 
House Rules package for the new congress. The rules require 
lists of every earmark in each bill that identify the sponsors 
of the earmarks. For the first time ever, no taxpayer dollars 
will be spent on earmarks without full disclosure. Members are 
now required to send a letter to the committee chairman 
identifying: 1) the name of the earmark they are requesting, 2) 
the recipient of the funds and their address, and 3) the 
purpose of the project. In this letter Members must certify 
that neither they nor their spouse has any financial interest 
in the earmark. Copies of these letters are made available to 
the public, and in the second session of the 110th Congress 
these letters were posted on the committee website.
    Also, the total dollar amount earmarked in non-project 
based accounts was reduced by 50 percent in the House passed 
bills and a compromise with the Senate produced a 43 percent 
reduction in the enacted bills.

                            Fiscal Year 2008

    While developing the bills for fiscal year 2008, the 
committee placed a high priority on reinvigorated oversight 
over the agencies and programs being funded.
    The 12 subcommittees held a total of 221 hearings to ensure 
that taxpayer dollars were being well spent and that needs were 
being met. Despite having to finish the fiscal year 2007 bills 
and complete action on a war funding bill at the beginning of 
the first session, the committee was able to mark up each of 
the fiscal year 2008 bills and pass all of them in the House 
before the August recess. Despite the President's issuing veto 
threats on nearly every bill, these measures passed the House 
with bipartisan support. After the President vetoed the Labor, 
Health, and Education bill and expressed no willingness to 
compromise on the rest of the domestic appropriations bills, 
Congress was forced to reduce its investment in critical areas 
such as education, healthcare, water infrastructure, energy 
research, and biomedical research, in order to get bills signed 
into law. Despite these obstacles, every regular appropriations 
bill was enacted before the end of the first session.

                            Fiscal Year 2009

    In the second session of the 110th Congress the first 
appropriations bill to be enacted was a $184 billion 
supplemental bill, enacted in June of 2008, that continued 
funding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, provided disaster 
assistance, extended unemployment insurance, and provided an 
expanded GI bill to improve veterans' education benefits.
    As the committee worked on the FY09 regular appropriations 
bills, the White House once again threatened to veto non-
security appropriations because Congress refused to agree to 
harmful cuts to important priorities. For that reason, the only 
regular fiscal year 2009 bills enacted during the 110th 
Congress were the Homeland Security, Military Construction and 
Veterans Affairs, and Defense Appropriations bills. Funding for 
programs in the remaining regular bills was included in a 
continuing resolution extending into the 111th Congress.
    The House also confronted the worsening economic crisis by 
passing an aggressive economic stimulus package to boost our 
economy, create jobs, and help provide additional relief to 
struggling families. Unfortunately, due to opposition in the 
Senate, the bill never made it to the President's desk.
    The committee continued its commitment to vigorous 
oversight in the second session. Altogether, the 12 
subcommittees held a total of 181 hearings. Additionally, the 
committee directed its Surveys and Investigations Staff to 
conduct 36 studies and requested an additional 360 reports from 
the Government Accountability Office.
    The following is a tabular display of the appropriations 
actions of the committee during the 110th Congress indicating 
the various bill numbers, dates, report numbers, amounts, and 
public law
numbers:

                                                  Footnotes to 110th Congress, 1st session Table

\1\Two regular fiscal year 2007 appropriations bills (Defense and Homeland Security) were enacted by the end of
  the 109th Congress. Programs within all other bills were ultimately funded under a full-year continuing
  resolution (P.L. 110-5) enacted early in the 110th Congress. Amounts shown for those bills represent CBO
  estimates of funding under P.L. 110-5 (including amounts provided by section 111 of P.L. 110-5 to partially
  cover certain pay costs).

\2\All regular fiscal year 2008 appropriations bills other than the Defense Appropriations bill were enacted in
  the Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 110-161).

\3\The Consolidated Appropriations Act included the following emergency appropriations (excluding division L,
  which is shown separately): $1,022 million for Agriculture; $286 million for Commerce, Justice, Science; $250
  million for Financial Services and General Government; $2,710 million for Homeland Security; $300 million for
  Interior, Environment; $307 million for Labor, HHS, Education; $2,385 million for State, Foreign Operations;
  and $173 million for Transportation, HUD. In addition, FY 2008 emergency appropriations enacted in P.L. 110-28
  totaling $468 million for Agriculture and $137 million for Labor, HHS, Education were scored against the FY
  2008 enacted bills.

\4\The enacted Defense Appropriations Act included $11,630 million in emergency appropriations.

\5\The Military Construction and Veterans Affairs division of the Consolidated Appropriations Act contained
  $3,692 million in contingent emergency appropriations for veterans programs. The President requested this
  amount, with an emergency designation, on January 17, 2008, thereby releasing the funds.

\6\Only amounts not superseded by enactment of regular appropriations bills are shown on these lines. These
  amounts include $5,200 million in emergency supplemental appropriations for Defense needs in the first
  continuing resolution, and emergency supplemental appropriations of $2,900 million for FEMA disaster relief,
  $500 million for wildfire suppression, and $3,000 million for the Road Home program in Louisiana in the second
  continuing resolution.

\7\Emergency supplemental appropriations.

\8\The President requested a total of $190,181 million in emergency supplemental appropriations for Defense,
  Foreign Operations, and related needs for FY 2008, which is shown on the ``Defense Supplemental'' line in this
  table. Consideration of the majority of this amount was deferred until the second session of the 110th
  Congress.

                    SUMMARY OF OVERSIGHT ACTIVITIES


                             Oversight Plan

    Pursuant to clause 2(d)(1) of rule X, the committee 
submitted the following Oversight Plan on January 16, 2007.
    ``The Committee on Appropriations believes that rigorous 
oversight is essential for ensuring that Government agencies 
and programs effectively and efficiently serve the American 
people. The oversight function will be carried out by the 
committee throughout the year and at many levels of examination 
and investigation. For the 110th Congress the committee intends 
to proceed in the following manner:
    Subcommittee hearings. The Appropriations Committee holds 
itself to the highest standards for analysis of the President's 
budget and supplemental funding requests. During the 109th 
Congress, the committee held 304 hearings, took testimony from 
2,463 witnesses, and published 165 volumes of hearings totaling 
155,056 pages. Requests for emergency supplemental funding for 
Iraq will be closely scrutinized, as will earmarks proposed by 
the Administration within the President's budget.
    The committee will also augment oversight of the U.S. 
intelligence community with the creation of a Select 
Intelligence Oversight Panel of the Committee on 
Appropriations. Comprised of members of the committee and of 
the intelligence authorizing committee, the panel will review 
budget requests and make recommendations for the preparation of 
the classified annex to the bill making appropriations for the 
Department of Defense.
    Investigations. In addition to formal oversight, the 
committee utilizes various investigative agencies to conduct 
in-depth analysis as it deems necessary. Many of these 
investigations are conducted by the committee's Survey and 
Investigations Staff, an important resource whose performance 
is critical to effective oversight. In the previous Congress, 
the committee received 43 Surveys and Investigations studies 
and 265 investigative reports from the GAO.
    Appropriations bills. The `power of the purse' is the 
committee's primary responsibility and greatest power. The 
manner in which the committee chooses to provide or withhold 
Federal funding is undertaken with the greatest care and in 
compliance with all budgetary concepts and strictures. The 
committee will follow the requirements of the congressional 
budget with regard to the subdivision of the budget authority 
and outlays to its subcommittees. Appropriations bills will be 
developed in accordance with the results of all the oversight 
activities in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, and brought to the 
floor for consideration within all relevant budgetary 
constraints.''

                           Oversight Actions

    For the 110th Congress, the committee made a commitment to 
prioritize its oversight responsibilities, and consequently 
succeeded in accomplishing its goals as laid out in the above 
plan. The subcommittees convened multiple theme hearings in 
addition to the standard budget oversight hearings to bring 
additional opinions and a diversity of views into the oversight 
process. Altogether, the 12 subcommittees conducted a total of 
402 hearings over the course of both sessions, a 32 percent 
increase over the prior Congress. Further, the creation of the 
Select Intelligence Oversight Panel, comprised of members of 
both the Appropriations Committee and the Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence, proved to be a critical asset in 
strengthening the committee's ability to effectively monitor 
and provide funding for U.S. intelligence activities.
    The committee also succeeded in implementing its oversight 
plan by utilizing the invaluable analytical resources at its 
disposal. In addition to having 36 studies and investigations 
conducted by the Surveys and Investigations Staff, a total of 
360 reports by the Government Accountability Office were either 
completed or in progress by end of the Congress. Details of 
these investigations are provided in the following section.

               INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED BY THE COMMITTEE


                            (110th Congress)

    During the 110th Congress, the Committee conducted 36 
studies and investigations covering a wide range of Federal 
agency activities. The Committee's Surveys and Investigations 
Staff (S&I) performed these studies to assist the Committee in 
fulfilling its oversight responsibilities and gathering the 
information it needs to make budget decisions.
    The various Subcommittees, in letters signed by the 
Chairman and Ranking Minority Member, originate requests for 
investigations; the request letters must be approved and signed 
by the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Full 
Committee before an investigation is pursued. Most 
investigations are conducted pursuant to these letters, known 
as directives; however, a few narrowly focused studies, known 
as special taskings, are conducted using existing resources 
without formal directives, but still requiring bipartisan sign-
off at the Subcommittee and Full Committee levels. Examples of 
special taskings during the 110th Congress include a concise 
review of the Department of Justice budget request, an 
examination of the Small Business Administration's Loan 
Management and Accounting System, and a brief review of foreign 
assistance reform proposals.
    When the Committee directs S&I to conduct an investigation, 
the Director assembles a team of expert investigators. 
Competence and objectivity are the criteria for selection of 
individual investigators. During the 110th Congress, a total of 
81 professionals--consisting of a small number of permanent 
staff, personnel on detail from 11 Federal agencies, and 
independent contractors--carried out studies and prepared 
reports.
    During this Congress, the Committee issued 28 directives to 
S&I and 6 special taskings; in addition, S&I completed 2 other 
investigations directed during the previous Congress. 
Directives generally call for investigations to be completed 
within 3 to 6 months. Some studies include briefings to 
Subcommittee staff or result in several memos in addition to, 
or in lieu of, a final report. The format and frequency of 
reports are tailored to the needs of the Subcommittee.
    A catalog of all the investigations conducted during the 
110th Congress, listed by the requesting Subcommittee, follows.

    With respect to the above listing, it should be noted that 
since studies originate with the Subcommittees, any information 
developed during the course of an investigation is reported to 
the Subcommittee which requested such study or examination as 
well as the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Full 
Committee. This information may be released for publication 
only when the Subcommittee so determines as provided by Section 
8 of the Committee's rules.

                      SUPPORT PROVIDED BY THE GAO

    In addition to the information made available to the 
Committee through its Surveys and Investigation Staff, the 
Committee also utilizes the resources of the Government 
Accountability Office. The Committee receives a copy of every 
GAO report addressed to the Congress. In recent years the scope 
of the GAO auditing and review capability has been enlarged to 
include management surveys. For over 22 years the GAO has 
extracted from those reports and compiled in separate volumes a 
list of so-called ``significant audit findings'' for special 
use by the Committee staff in the annual appropriations 
hearings. These findings relate to matters which are felt to 
require corrective action by the Committee's efforts, through 
legislation, or through administrative efforts. This 
compilation is designed to identify problem areas in an 
individual agency which might have applicability to other 
organizations.
    Additionally, the Committee frequently calls upon GAO to 
make special studies and investigations.

Committee which were underway during the 110th Congress

                            COMMITTEE RULES


          (Adopted for the 110th Congress on January 16, 2007)

    RESOLVED, That the rules and practices of the Committee on

Committee on Appropriations in the One Hundred Tenth Congress.
    The foregoing resolution adopts the following rules:

Sec. 1: Power to Sit and Act

    (a) For the purpose of carrying out any of its functions 
and duties under Rules X and XI of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives, the Committee and each of its subcommittees is 
authorized:
          (1) To sit and act at such times and places within 
        the United States whether the House is in session, has 
        recessed, or has adjourned, and to hold such hearings 
        as it deems necessary; and
          (2) To require, by subpoena or otherwise, the 
        attendance and testimony of such witnesses and the 
        production of such books, reports, correspondence, 
        memorandums, papers, and documents as it deems 
        necessary.
    (b) The Chairman, or any Member designated by the Chairman, 
may administer oaths to any witness.
    (c) A subpoena may be authorized and issued by the 
Committee or its subcommittees under subsection (a)(2) in the

investigations or activities, only when authorized by a 
majority of the Members of the Committee voting, a majority 
being present. The power to authorize and issue subpoenas under 
subsection (a)(2) may be delegated to the Chairman pursuant to 
such rules and under such limitations as the Committee may 
prescribe. Authorized subpoenas shall be signed by the Chairman

Majority Members of the full Committee, consideration is to be 
by the full Committee.
    (d) The Majority Caucus of the Committee shall determine an 
appropriate ratio of Majority to Minority Members for each 
subcommittee. The Chairman is authorized to negotiate that

    (e) The Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the full 
Committee are each authorized to sit as a member of all 
subcommittees and to participate, including voting, in all of 
the work of the subcommittees.

training. The Chairman is also authorized to employ additional 
personnel as necessary.
    (b) Assistants to Members:
          (1) Each of the top twenty-one senior majority and 
        minority Members of the full Committee may select and

        Member, not to exceed 75 per centum of the maximum

        the House of Representatives. Effective as of such date 
        as the Chairman may determine, the limit on

        conduct of other Committee business. The Committee 
        shall meet for such purpose pursuant to that call of

        Offices a written request to the Chairman for that 
        special meeting. Such request shall specify the measure 
        or matter to be considered. Upon the filing of the 
        request, the Committee Clerk shall notify the Chairman.
          (3) If within three calendar days after the filing of 
        the request, the Chairman does not call the requested

        Committee Members may file in the Committee Offices 
        their written notice that a special meeting will be 
        held, specifying the date and hour of such meeting, and

        concerned, in open session and with a majority present, 
        determines by roll call vote that all or part of the 
        remainder of the meeting on that day shall be closed.
          (2) No person other than Committee Members and such 
        congressional staff and departmental representatives as

          (1) The Committee shall keep a complete record of all 
        Committee action, including a record of the votes on 
        any question on which a roll call is demanded. The 
        result of each roll call vote shall be available for 
        inspection by the public during regular business hours 
        in the Committee Offices. The information made 
        available for public inspection shall include a 
        description of the amendment, motion, or other 
        proposition, and the name of each Member voting for and 
        each Member voting against, and the names of those 
        Members present but not voting.
          (2) All hearings, records, data, charts, and files of 
        the Committee shall be kept separate and distinct from 
        the congressional office records of the Chairman of the

        House, and all Members of the House shall have access 
        thereto.
          (3) The records of the Committee at the National 
        Archives and Records Administration shall be made 
        available in accordance with Rule VII of the Rules of 
        the House, except that the Committee authorizes use of 
        any record to which Clause 3 (b)(4) of Rule VII of the 
        Rules of the House would otherwise apply after such 
        record has been in existence for 20 years. The Chairman 
        shall notify the Ranking Minority Member of any 
        decision, pursuant to Clause 3 (b)(3) or Clause 4 (b) 
        of Rule VII of the Rules of the House, to withhold a 
        record otherwise available, and the matter shall be

        written request of any Member of the Committee.

Sec. 5: Committee and Subcommittee Hearings

    (a) Overall Budget Hearings--Overall budget hearings by the 
Committee, including the hearing required by Section 242 (c) of 
the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 and Clause 4 (a)(1) 
of Rule X of the Rules of the House of Representatives shall be 
conducted in open session except when the Committee in open 
session and with a majority present, determines by roll call 
vote that the testimony to be taken at that hearing on that day 
may be related to a matter of national security; except that 
the Committee may by the same procedure close one subsequent 
day of hearing. A transcript of all such hearings shall be 
printed and a copy furnished to each Member, Delegate, and the 
Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico.
    (b) Other Hearings:
          (1) All other hearings conducted by the Committee or 
        its subcommittees shall be open to the public except 
        when the Committee or subcommittee in open session and 
        with a majority present determines by roll call vote 
        that all or part of the remainder of that hearing on 
        that day shall be closed to the public because 
        disclosure of testimony, evidence, or other matters to 
        be considered would endanger the national security or 
        would violate any law or Rule of the House of 
        Representatives. Notwithstanding the requirements of 
        the preceding sentence, a majority of those present at 
        a hearing conducted by the Committee or any of its

        required under Section 5 (c) of these Rules to be 
        present for the purpose of taking testimony, (1) may 
        vote to close the hearing for the sole purpose of

        development of schedules for meetings or hearings after

        hearings.

        Committee or any of its subcommittees as the case may 
        be, insofar as is practicable, shall file in advance of 
        such appearance, a written statement of the proposed 
        testimony and shall limit the oral presentation at such

        respect to the matter under consideration during at 
        least one day of hearings thereon.
          (2) The Committee and its subcommittees shall observe

    At the beginning of the 110th Congress, the Committee 
undertook a reorganization of its subcommittee structure and 
jurisdictions, in consultation with the leadership of the 
Senate Committee on Appropriations.

    The reorganization eliminated almost all of the differences 
in subcommittee structure and jurisdictions between the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations, in order to facilitate 
conferences and other House-Senate negotiations. It also--

          Created a new Subcommittee on Financial 
        Services and General Government, with jurisdiction over 
        financial regulatory agencies, the Treasury Department, 
        and various ``general government'' functions;

          Consolidated jurisdiction over the Department 
        of State and international assistance programs in a 
        single subcommittee; and

          Restored the Subcommittee on the Legislative 
        Branch (which had been eliminated in the 109th 
        Congress, with its functions handled by the full 
        committee during that time).

    As a result of this reorganization, the number of 
subcommittees of the House Committee on Appropriations 
increased from 10 to 12.

    The following tables summarize the changes made:
