following

A N N U A L

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 51 during the 113th 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
113th Congress are displayed in Appendix C.)

SUMMARY OF APPROPRIATIONS ACTIONS

First Session--113th Congress

When the 113th Congress convened on January 3, 2013, the
Federal Government was operating under a continuing resolution
(CR). This CR provided FY 2013 funding through March 27, 2013
for all agencies and programs included in the Committee's
twelve appropriations bills. The first order of business for
the Committee in the 113th Congress was completion of the FY
2013 appropriations.
The Committee negotiated with the Senate Appropriations
Committee to develop H.R. 933, the ``Consolidated and Further
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013.'' This measure included
five regular appropriations bills, as well as continuing
appropriations through September 30, 2013, for the remaining
seven appropriations bills. The contents of H.R. 933 were as
follows:

Division A--Agriculture, Rural Development,
Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2013
Division B--Commerce, Justice, Science, and
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2013
Division C--Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2013
Division D--Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act, 2013
Division E--Military Construction and Veterans
Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2013
Division F--Further Continuing Appropriations
Act, 2013

Title I--General Provisions
Title II--Energy and Water
Development
Title III--Financial Services and
General Government
Title IV--Interior, Environment, and
Related Agencies
Title V--Labor, Health and Human
Services, and
Education, and Related Agencies
Title VI--Legislative Branch
Title VII--Department of State,
Foreign Operations, and Related Programs
Title VIII--Transportation and
Housing and Urban
Development, and Related Agencies

Division G--Other Matters (provisions relating
to across-the-board reductions and reports on agency-held
conferences)

The House passed H.R. 933 on March 6, 2013 and agreed to
Senate amendments to the bill on March 21, 2013. The President
signed the bill into law on March 26, 2013 (P.L. 113-6),
completing the Committee's actions on regular fiscal year 2013
appropriations.
The Committee also worked early in the first session to
finish FY 2013 supplemental appropriations (to provide for the
Federal response to Hurricane Sandy) that were not completed in
the 112th Congress. H.R. 152 was introduced on January 4, 2013
and was considered in the House on January 15, 2013. The final
House-passed bill, which was approved by a vote of 241 to 180,
provided $50.5 billion in aid for Hurricane Sandy victims and
their commu-

nities. The measure was passed by the Senate on January 28,
2013, and signed by the President on January 29, 2013 (P.L.
113-2).
With the completion of FY 2013 appropriations in March and
the submission of the President's budget request on April 10,
2013, the Committee intensified its efforts to develop the FY
2014 appropriations bills. The Committee continued to place a
high priority on ``regular order'' in the consideration of
appropriations bills, where Members of the House are assured of
an open, transparent, and fair process. Bills were considered
in open subcommittee and committee markups, with information on
those bills publicly available before markups. Bills were
brought to the House floor under open rules that protect the
right of every Member of the House to offer amendments. This
commitment to ``regular order'' enhances the Committee's
ability to get its work done.
The Committee also places a high priority on conducting
detailed reviews of agency budgets and exercising comprehensive
oversight on the programs under its jurisdiction. Therefore, an
aggressive schedule of budget and oversight hearings was
developed for the first session. Between February 14 and June
3, 2013, the Committee conducted 115 hearings, receiving
testimony from over 1,000 witnesses. These hearings informed
and guided the Committee in the development of the FY 2014
appropriations bills.
The first subcommittee markup of the FY 2014 appropriations
season occurred on May 15, 2013, with the Military
Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies
subcommittee approving its bill for full Committee
consideration. By July 24, 2013, the Committee ordered reported
ten of its twelve regular bills, and the House passed four of
those bills: Defense, Energy and Water Development, Homeland
Security, and Military Construction/Veterans Affairs.
Since the regular FY 2014 appropriations bills were not
enacted by the beginning of the fiscal year on October 1, 2013,
a temporary continuing resolution was required. Following a 16-
day period during which a lapse of appropriations partially
closed the Federal Government, a continuing resolution
providing funds through January 15, 2014, was passed by the
House and the Senate and signed by the President (P.L. 113-46).
At the time this Activities Report was submitted, the Committee
was working to complete FY 2014 appropriations and provide
full-year funding for programs under its jurisdiction.
The charts and tables following this summary display the
history of FY 2013 and FY 2014 appropriations, as well as
budget comparisons for the enacted FY 2013 funding levels and
for the Committee- or House-approved FY 2014 funding levels for
those bills that have been considered to date.

Appropriations Act, 2013 (P.L. 113-2); and H.R. 933, Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 (P.L. 113-6). Amounts include funds
for Overseas Contingency Operations, disasters, emergencies and program integrity. Such funding is designated pursuant to section 251(b)(2) of the
Balanced Budget and Deficit Control Act of 1985. Amounts do not include sequestration reductions made pursuant to section 251A of the Balanced Budget
and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 or the OMB across-the-board reductions made pursuant to section 3004 of P.L. 113-6.

\2\The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is funded in alternate years in the Agriculture bill and the Financial Services bill. For fiscal year
2013, funding for the CFTC was enacted in the Financial Services bill.

\3\The Committee did not accept the President's FY 2013 Budget proposal to shift portions of surface transportation spending to the mandatory budget.
Therefore, the figures here have been adjusted to reflect this funding.

\4\$423 million in full-year funding for firefighting provided in P.L. 112-175 is included in the Interior subcommittee total.

\5\H.R. 152 included $3,459 million in regular spending (net). Also included were $5,379 million in disaster relief funds and $41,669 million in
emergency funding. Such amounts were designated pursuant to section 251(b)(2) of the Balanced Budget and Deficit Control Act of 1985.

OVERSIGHT PLAN

Pursuant to clause 2(d)(1) of rule X, the committee
submitted the following Oversight Plan on January 23, 2013:

OVERSIGHT PLANS OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS

Clause 2(d)(1) of Rule X of the Rules of the House requires
each standing committee of the House to adopt oversight plans
at the beginning of each Congress. Specifically, the Rule
states in part:
``Rule X, clause (2)(d)(1). Not later than February
15 of the first session of a Congress, each standing
committee shall, in a meeting that is open to the
public and with a quorum present, adopt its oversight
plan for that Congress. Such plan shall be submitted
simultaneously to the Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform and to the Committee on House
Administration.''

JURISDICTION OF THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS

Rule X of the Rules of the House vests in the Committee on
Appropriations broad responsibility over the Federal budget.
Specifically the Rule defines the Committee's jurisdiction, as
follows:
``Rule X clause 1(b). Committee on Appropriations.
(1) Appropriation of the revenue for the support of
the Government.
(2) Rescissions of appropriations contained in
appropriations Acts.
(3) Transfers of unexpended balances.
(4) Bills and joint resolutions reported by other
committees that provide new entitlement authority as
defined in section 3(9) of the Congressional Budget Act
of 1974 and referred to the committee under clause
4(a)(2).''

General Oversight Responsibilities

``2. (a) The various standing committees shall have general
oversight responsibilities as provided in paragraph (b) in
order to assist the House in--
(1) its analysis, appraisal, and evaluation of (A)
the application, administration, execution, and
effectiveness of Federal laws; and (B) conditions and
circumstances that may indicate the necessity or
desirability of enacting new or additional legislation;
and
(2) its formulation, consideration, and enactment of
such changes in Federal laws, and of such additional
legislation, as may be necessary or appropriate.
(b)(1) In order to determine whether laws and programs
addressing subjects within the jurisdiction of a committee are
being implemented and carried out in accordance with the intent
of Congress and whether they should be continued, curtailed, or
eliminated, each standing committee (other than the Committee
on Appropriations) shall review and study on a continuing
basis--
(A) the application, administration, execution, and
effectiveness of laws and programs addressing subjects
within its jurisdiction;
(B) the organization and operation of Federal
agencies and entities having responsibilities for the
administration and execution of laws and programs
addressing subjects within its jurisdiction;
(C) any conditions or circumstances that may indicate
the necessity or desirability of enacting new or
additional legislation addressing subjects within its
jurisdiction (whether or not a bill or resolution has
been introduced with respect thereto); and
(D) future research and forecasting on subjects
within its jurisdiction.''

Special Oversight Functions

``3. (a) The Committee on Appropriations shall conduct such
studies and examinations of the organization and operation of
executive departments and other executive agencies (including
any agency the majority of the stock of which is owned by the
United States) as it considers necessary to assist it in the
determination of matters within its jurisdiction.''

Additional Functions of Committees

``4. (a)(1)(A) The Committee on Appropriations shall,
within 30 days after the transmittal of the budget to Congress
each year, hold hearings on the budget as a whole with
particular reference to--
(i) the basic recommendations and budgetary policies
of the President in the presentation of the budget; and
(ii) the fiscal, financial, and economic assumptions
used as bases in arriving at total estimated
expenditures and receipts.
(B) In holding hearings under subdivision (A), the
Committee shall receive testimony from the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget,
the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, and such
other persons as the Committee may desire.
(C) A hearing under subdivision (A), or any part thereof,
shall be held in open session, except when the committee, in
open session and with a quorum present, determines by record
vote that the testimony to be taken at that hearing on that day
may be related to a matter of national security. 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
thereof furnished to each Member, Delegate, and the Resident
Commissioner.
(D) A hearing under subdivision (A), or any part thereof,
may be held before a joint meeting of the Committee and the
Committee on Appropriations of the Senate in accordance with
such procedures as the two committees jointly may determine.
(2) Pursuant to section 401(b)(2) of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974, when a committee reports a bill or joint
resolution that provides new entitlement authority as defined
in section 3(9) of that Act, and enactment of the bill or joint
resolution, as reported, would cause a breach of the
committee's pertinent allocation of new budget authority under
section 302(a) of that Act, the bill or joint resolution may be
referred to the Committee on Appropriations with instruction to
report it with recommendations (which may include an amendment
limiting the total amount of new entitlement authority provided
in the bill or joint resolution). If the Committee on
Appropriations fails to report a bill or joint resolution so
referred within 15 calendar days (not counting any day on which
the House is not in session), the committee automatically shall
be discharged from consideration of the bill or joint
resolution, and the bill or joint resolution shall be placed on
the appropriate calendar.
(3) In addition, the Committee on Appropriations shall
study on a continuing basis those provisions of law that (on
the first day of the first fiscal year for which the
congressional budget process is effective) provide spending
authority or permanent budget authority and shall report to the
House from time to time its recommendations for terminating or
modifying such provisions.
(4) In the manner provided by section 302 of the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee on
Appropriations (after consulting with the Committee on
Appropriations of the Senate) shall subdivide any allocations
made to it in the joint explanatory statement accompanying the
conference report on such concurrent resolution, and promptly
report the subdivisions to the House as soon as practicable
after a concurrent resolution on the budget for a fiscal year
is agreed to.''
Rule XIII of the Rules of the House prescribes special
reporting requirements of the Committee on Appropriations.
Specifically Rule XIII, clause 3(f) states:

Content of Reports

``(f)(1) A report of the Committee on Appropriations on a
general appropriation bill shall include--
(A) a concise statement describing the effect of any
provision of the accompanying bill that directly or
indirectly changes the application of existing law; and
(B) a list of all appropriations contained in the
bill for expenditures not currently authorized by law
for the period concerned (except classified
intelligence or national security programs, projects,
or activities) along with a statement of the last year
for which such expenditures were authorized, the level
of expenditures authorized for that year, the actual
level of expenditures for that year, and the level of
appropriations in the bill for such expenditures.
(2) Whenever the Committee on Appropriations reports a bill
or joint resolution including matter specified in clause
1(b)(2) or (3) of rule X, it shall include--
(A) in the bill or joint resolution, separate
headings for ``Rescissions'' and ``Transfers of
Unexpended Balances''; and
(B) in the report of the committee, a separate
section listing such rescissions and transfers.''

Oversight Activity

The Committee on Appropriations is strongly committed to
stringent and comprehensive oversight of Federal discretionary
spending to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being invested
wisely and prudently on behalf of the American people.
Oversight should not be a partisan exercise, but a serious
evaluation and accounting of how taxpayer dollars are being
utilized by Government agencies and programs.
Because of the historic nature of the Nation's fiscal
situation, Congress must go further in exercising oversight
than ever before. This Congress must get into the weeds, root
out waste, abuse and duplicative spending in Federal programs,
and reject ``more money'' solutions to our budgetary
challenges.
As part of this focus, the Appropriations Committee must
maintain continual pressure on Federal agency officials and
department heads in order to promote accountability and
responsibility by the agencies regarding the investment of
American tax dollars. In addition, the Committee will utilize,
where appropriate, information and testimony from non-
Government entities to further scrutinize Federal spending and
the effectiveness and necessity of Government programs.
To accomplish these goals in the 113th Congress, the
Committee on Appropriations intends to engage in the following
oversight actions:
(1) Subcommittee Hearings. The Appropriations
Committee holds itself to the highest standards for
analyses of the President's budget and supplemental
funding requests. During the first session of the 113th
Congress, the Appropriations Committee held 115
hearings, heard testimony from 1,003 witnesses and
published 76 volumes of hearings totaling 65,237 pages.
These subcommittee hearings will include testimony
from Federal agency officials with responsibility over
the spending of taxpayer dollars, as well as non-
Government individuals and entities with relevant
budgetary information and analysis.
(2) Investigations. In addition to open oversight
hearings, the Committee will also engage in in-depth,
comprehensive studies and investigations into agency
activities when it is deemed necessary. Specifically,
these investigations may include examination of
potential duplication in Government programs, budget
practices in Federal agencies, as well as others. Many
of these investigations will be conducted by the
Committee's Surveys and Investigations staff, who are
highly qualified and experienced in the detailed
examination of Federal budgets. In addition, the
Committee will continue to utilize the investigative
expertise of the Government Accountability Office and
the Inspectors General of the various Federal agencies.
In the 113th Congress, the Committee initiated 51
studies for the Surveys and Investigations staff and
received 324 investigative reports from the Government
Accountability Office.
(3) Appropriations Bills. The ``Power of the Purse''
is the Committee's primary responsibility, as outlined
in Article I, Section 9, and Clause 7 of the U.S.
Constitution which states that ``no money shall be
drawn from the Treasury but in Consequence of
Appropriations made by Law.'' The manner in which the
Committee chooses to provide or withhold Federal
funding will be undertaken with the utmost level of
care and concern over the prudent and responsible use
of taxpayer funds, based on its in-depth review of each
agencies programs and budget through its informed
analyses. The Committee will strictly adhere to its
responsibilities under the Congressional Budget Act by
ensuring its strict conformance with the total
discretionary spending levels established in the Budget
Resolution. The Committee will fulfill its
responsibility to allocate those funds among the
subcommittees based on the prioritization of limited
spending based on its analyses and
reviews.
INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED BY THE COMMITTEE

(113th Congress--1st Session)

(Annual)

During the first session of the 113th Congress, the
Committee initiated 51 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 (known as directives)
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.
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. Investigators include a small number
of permanent staff, personnel on detail from Federal agencies,
and independent contractors.
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 from January
of 2013 through December of 2013, 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 Investigations 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. 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.
A listing of some reports and staff studies by the
Committee which were underway during the 113th Congress

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

the work of the subcommittees.

Sec. 3: Staffing

voting for and each Member voting against, and the
names of those Members present but not voting.
(2) Committee records (including hearings, data,

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

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

its subcommittees shall be open to the public except

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
subcommittees, there being in attendance the number
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
discussing whether testimony or evidence to be received
would endanger the national security or violate Clause
2 (k)(5) of Rule XI of the Rules of the House of
Representatives or (2) may vote to close the hearing,
as provided in Clause 2 (k)(5) of such Rule. No Member
of the House of Representatives may be excluded from
nonparticipatory attendance at any hearing of the
Committee or its subcommittees unless the House of
Representatives shall by majority vote authorize the
Committee or any of its subcommittees, for purposes of
a particular series of hearings on a particular article
of legislation or on a particular subject of
investigation, to close its hearings to Members by the
same procedures designated in this subsection for
closing hearings to the public; Provided, however, That
the Committee or its subcommittees may by the same
procedure vote to close five subsequent days of
hearings.

development of schedules for meetings or hearings after
consultation with the Chairman and other subcommittee
chairmen with a view toward avoiding simultaneous
scheduling of Committee and subcommittee meetings or
hearings.
(3) Each witness who is to appear before the
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
appearance to a brief summary, except that this
provision shall not apply to any witness appearing
before the Committee in the overall budget hearings.
(4) Each witness appearing in a nongovernmental
capacity before the Committee, or any of its
subcommittees as the case may be, shall to the greatest
extent practicable, submit a written statement
including a curriculum vitae and a disclosure of the
amount and source (by agency and program) of any
Federal grant (or subgrant thereof) or contract (or
subcontract thereof) received during the current fiscal
year or either of the two previous fiscal years by the
witness or by an entity represented by the witness.
Such statements, with appropriate redactions to protect
the privacy of witnesses, shall be made publicly
available in electronic form not later than one day
after the witness appears.

respect to the matter under consideration during at
least one day of hearings thereon.
(2) The Committee and its subcommittees shall observe
the five-minute rule during the interrogation of
witnesses until such time as each Member of the
Committee or subcommittee who so desires has had an
opportunity to question the witness.
(e) Broadcasting and Photographing of Committee Meetings
and Hearings--Whenever a hearing or meeting conducted by the
full Committee or any of its subcommittees is open to the
public, those proceedings shall be open to coverage by
television, radio, and still photography, as provided in Clause
(4)(f) of Rule XI of the Rules of the House of Representatives.
Neither the full Committee Chairman or subcommittee chairman
shall limit the number of television or still cameras to fewer
than two representatives from each medium (except for
legitimate space or safety, in which case pool coverage shall
be authorized). To the maximum practicable, the Committee shall
provide audio and video coverage of each hearing or meeting for
the transaction of business in a manner that allows the public
to easily listen to and view the proceedings and shall maintain
the recordings of such coverage in a manner that is easily
accessible to the public.
(f) Subcommittee Meetings--No subcommittee shall sit while
the House is reading an appropriation measure for amendment
under the five-minute rule or while the Committee is in
session.
(g) Public Notice of Committee Hearings--The Chairman of
the Committee shall make public announcement of the date,
place, and subject matter of any Committee or subcommittee
hearing at least one week before the commencement of the
hearing. If the Chairman of the Committee or subcommittee, with

or respective subcommittee, determines there is good cause to
