           Mrs. Lowey, 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 53 during the 116th 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 
116th Congress are displayed in Appendix C).

                   SUMMARY OF APPROPRIATIONS ACTIONS


                             116th Congress

    The House Committee on Appropriations implemented an 
ambitious agenda during the 116th Congress. On January 3, the 
Committee immediately brought H.R. 21 to the House Floor to 
remedy the lapse in government funding that began on December 
22, 2018. The House adopted the bill 241-190; however, the 
Senate did not consider it. The Committee brought an additional 
10 bills to the House Floor including short-term continuing 
resolutions, individual appropriations bills, and full year 
appropriations packages. The House adopted all but one which 
failed to meet the two-thirds level for a suspension bill. 
Then, on January 25, the Senate amended H.J. Res. 28, which the 
House had passed 2 days prior in an effort to provide short-
term funding through February 28. The amended bill passed the 
House by voice vote and was enacted into law (P.L. 116-5) that 
same day. This resolution restored government funding through 
February 15, 2019 and provided time necessary to complete the 
unfinished work on the seven remaining bills for fiscal year 
2019. Enactment of the short-term continuing resolution also 
provided time for the Committee to formally organize on January 
30, 2019, a meeting presided over by the first female Chair in 
the Committee's history, Chairwoman Nita M. Lowey. Later that 
day the Committee hosted a formal meeting of the House and 
Senate conferees on the Homeland Security bill (H.J. Res. 31), 
and 2 weeks later, the Committee completed the fiscal year 2019 
appropriations bills. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2019, (H.J. Res. 31) was enacted as Public Law 116-6 on 
February 15, 2019, the day after the House approved the measure 
by a vote of 300-128.
    The contents of Public Law 116-6 are as follows:
     Division A--Department of Homeland Security 
Appropriations Act, 2019;
     Division B--Agriculture, Rural Development, Food 
and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2019;
     Division C--Commerce, Justice, Science, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019;
     Division D--Financial Services and General 
Government Appropriations Act, 2019;
     Division E--Department of the Interior, 
Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019;
     Division F--Department of State, Foreign 
Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2019; and
     Division G--Transportation, Housing and Urban 
Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019.
    Enactment of Public Law 116-6 cleared the way for the 
Committee to initiate work on fiscal year 2020 bills. The 
Committee held its first subcommittee markup on April 30, 2019 
for the fiscal year 2020 Labor, Health and Human Services, 
Education and Related Agencies bill leading to the full 
committee reporting that bill to the full House on May 8, 2019. 
Within 5 weeks, the Committee reported out all fiscal year 2020 
appropriations bills with the last bills approved on June 11, 
2019.
    The Labor, Health and Human Services, Education bill was 
then combined with the Defense, State and Foreign Operations, 
and the Energy & Water bills, and presented together to the 
House as the first of two consolidated appropriations packages 
(H.R. 2740). The House passed this package of four 
appropriations bills on June 19, 2019, by a vote of 226-203. A 
second consolidated package (H.R. 3055) containing five bills 
(Commerce, Justice, Science; Agriculture; Interior; Military 
Construction and Veterans Affairs; Transportation, Housing, and 
Urban Development) passed the House on June 25, 2019, by a vote 
of 227-194. The next day the House passed the Financial 
Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2020, by a 
vote of 224-196. In total 10 fiscal year 2020 appropriations 
bills were considered and passed on the House Floor.
    On September 19, 2019, the House passed a continuing 
resolution (H.R. 4378) to maintain government funding through 
November 21, 2019. It was signed into law on September 27, 2019 
(P.L. 116-59). A second continuing resolution (H.R. 3055) was 
adopted by the House on November 19, 2019 and extended 
government funding until December 20, 2019. It was signed into 
law on November 21, 2019 (P.L. 116-69).
    Final action on the fiscal year 2020 appropriations bills 
occurred in December 2019, with enactment of the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2020 (H.R. 1158) and the Further 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (H.R. 1865). These bills 
contained all 12 final appropriations bills and moved in tandem 
through the chambers. The House debated and passed both bills 
on December 17, 2019, by a vote of 280-138 and 297-120, 
respectively. The next day, the Senate approved the packages by 
votes of 81-11 and 71-23, respectively. The President signed 
both Acts into law on December 20, 2019. (P.L. 116-93 and P.L. 
116-94, respectively).
    The contents of Public Law 116-93 are as follows:
     Division A--Department of Defense Appropriations 
Act, 2020;
     Division B--Commerce, Justice, Science, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020;
     Division C--Financial Services and General 
Government Appropriations Act, 2020; and
     Division D--Department of Homeland Security 
Appropriations Act, 2020.
    The contents of Public Law 116-94 are as follows:
     Division A--Departments of Labor, Health and Human 
Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2020;
     Division B--Agriculture, Rural Development, Food 
and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2020;
     Division C--Energy and Water Development and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020;
     Division D--Department of the Interior, 
Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020;
     Division E--Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 
2020;
     Division F--Military Construction, Veterans 
Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020;
     Division G--Department of State, Foreign 
Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2020; and
     Division H--Transportation, Housing and Urban 
Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020.
    With the passage of H.R. 1158 and H.R. 1865, the Congress 
com- pleted final action on 19 regular appropriations bills, 3 
continuing resolutions and 2 supplemental appropriation bills 
in the first ses- sion of the 116th Congress.
    During the second session, the Committee's work followed a 
similarly ambitious agenda under the unprecedented 
circumstances and schedule dictated by the COVID-19 pandemic. 
In January, the Committee introduced a supplemental 
appropriations bill to address the needs resulting from the 
Puerto Rico earthquake (H.R. 5687). The House adopted the bill 
by a vote of 237-161 on February 7, 2020. That same week the 
Committee held its first budget and oversight hearings for the 
fiscal year 2021 process. The Committee held more than 75 
hearings before curtailing in-person activity in March. The 
Committee adjusted to incorporate hybrid and virtual hearing 
settings for the first time ever. The Subcommittee on Military 
Construction and Veterans Affairs held the first hybrid hearing 
on Thursday, May 28, 2020 to discuss coronavirus response at 
the Department of Veterans Affairs. The first fully virtual 
hearing was held by the full Committee on June 22, 2020 to 
discuss Member priorities for the fiscal year 2021 bills.
    At the same time, much of the Committee's work was focused 
on responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 3 months, five 
supplementals were introduced and passed the House, and four 
bills have been enacted into law:
     Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental 
Appropriations Act, 2020. (H.R. 6074/P.L. 116-123)
     Second Coronavirus Preparedness and Response 
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2020. (H.R. 6201/P.L. 116-127)
     Emergency Appropriations for Coronavirus Health 
Response and Agency Operations. (H.R. 748/P.L. 116-136)
     Additional Emergency Appropriations for 
Coronavirus Response. (H.R. 266/P.L. 116-139); and
     H.R 6800--The Heroes Act. (House passed May 15, 
2020; 208-199)
    With in-person activities reduced to a minimum, the 
Committee developed an aggressive schedule to hold all 
subcommittee and full Committee markups and Floor activity in 
July 2020. For the first time in the Committee's history, all 
markups were conducted in a hybrid setting with several Members 
participating remotely. Within a span of 2 weeks, the Committee 
completed work on all 12 appropriations bills, beginning with 
the Subcommittee markup of State and Foreign Operations bill on 
July 6, 2020 and ending with reporting of the last two bills, 
Financial Services and Homeland Security, on July 15, 2020 by 
the full Committee. The Committee brought four bills to the 
Floor in a first consolidated package (H.R. 7608) which was 
debated over 2 days and passed the House on July 24, 2020 by a 
vote of 224-189.
    The following week, a second consolidated package 
containing six bills was considered on the Floor (H.R. 7617) 
and debated over 2 days. H.R. 7617 passed the House on July 31, 
2020 by a vote of 217-197. In doing so the House cleared a 
total of 10 regular appropriations bills matching the same 
total from the year before.
    On September 22, 2020, the House passed a continuing 
resolution (H.R. 8337) to extend government funding through 
December 11, 2020. It was signed into law on October 1, 2020 
(P.L. 116-159). A second continuing resolution (H.R. 8900) was 
adopted by the House on December 9, 2020 to extended government 
funding by another week until December 18, 2020. It was signed 
into law on December 11, 2020 (P.L. 116-215). Two additional 
resolutions extended government funding through December 21, 
2020 (H.J. Res. 107/P.L. 116-225 and H.J. Res. 110/P.L. 116-
226).
    To close out fiscal year 2021, the Committee consolidated 
the 12 appropriations bills into one final Omnibus package to 
be considered as an amendment between the two Houses (H.R. 
133). This package also contained additional supplemental 
appropriations for COVID-19 relief in a separate division 
(Division M). The House passed H.R. 133 on December 21, 2020 
with two recorded votes. The first vote adopted four divisions 
[div. B (CJS), div. C (Defense), div. E (FSGG), and div. F 
(Homeland) by a vote of 327-85. The second vote adopted all 
other divisions contained in the package by a tally of 359-53. 
In addition, the House adopted a special rule which included a 
7-day continuing resolution (P.L. 116-246) to allow government 
operations to be maintained while H.R. 133 was processed and 
sent to the President for signature. The President signed on 
December 27, 2020.
    The contents of H.R. 133 related to appropriations are as 
follows:
     Division A--Agriculture, Rural Development, Food 
and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2021
     Division B--Commerce, Justice, Science, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021
     Division C--Department of Defense Appropriations 
Act, 2021
     Division D--Energy and Water Development and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021
     Division E--Financial Services and General 
Government Appropriations Act, 2021
     Division F--Department of Homeland Security 
Appropriations Act, 2021
     Division G--Department of the Interior, 
Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021
     Division H--Departments of Labor, Health and Human 
Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2021
     Division I--Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 
2021
     Division J--Military Construction, Veterans 
Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021
     Division K--Department of State, Foreign 
Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2021
     Division L--Transportation, Housing and Urban 
Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021
     Division M--Coronavirus Response and Relief 
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021
    During consideration of appropriations bills during the 
116th Congress, the Committee continued to place a high 
priority on having a Member-driven process through ``regular 
order,'' so that Members of the House could be assured of an 
open, transparent, and fair appropriations process. All Members 
of the House were invited to submit their priorities to every 
subcommittee before bills were drafted. Bills were considered 
in open subcommittee and committee markups, with information on 
those bills publicly available before markups. Every effort was 
made to ensure that any Member of the House who had an 
amendment that complied with House Rules would have the 
opportunity to have that amendment considered on the House 
floor. This commitment to providing opportunities for all 
Members to have input into the bills helped to ensure support 
for the bills throughout the legislative process.
    The Committee placed 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 116th Congress. The Committee conducted 72 
hearings, receiving testimony from 1,638 witnesses during the 
first session, and conducted 83 hearings with 425 witnesses 
during the second session. These totals include, for the first 
time ever, 4 hybrid hearings and 2 fully virtual hearings. 
These hearings informed and guided the Committee in the 
development of the fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021 
appropriations bills.
    In total, 31 regular appropriations bills were enacted in 
the 116th Congress (7 for fiscal year 2019; 12 for fiscal year 
2020; 12 for fiscal year 2021), in addition to 7 supplementals 
and 8 continuing resolutions.
    The charts and tables following this summary display the 
history of fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021 
appropriations, as well as budget comparisons for the fiscal 
year 2020 and fiscal year 2021 funding levels.

               INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED BY THE COMMITTEE


                            (116th Congress)


                                (Annual)

    The Appropriations Committee is dedicated to strong and 
active oversight of Departmental programs and activities and 
undertakes investigations as a routine part of the 
appropriations process. In addition, the Committee uses its own 
Survey and Investigations (S&I) group to pursue program issues 
in depth, including those specific to an agency or Department 
and those that are crosscutting and have government-wide 
impacts. As of the end of 116th Congress, S&I investigative 
staff have completed or have under active review 14 separate 
studies or investigations.
    The various subcommittees, in letters signed by the 
chairman and ranking minority member (known as ``directives''), 
originate requests for investigations; the request letters must 
be approved and signed by the chairwoman 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. Investigative teams include a mix of 
permanent staff, independent contractors, and personnel on 
detail from Federal agencies.
    Directives generally call for investigations to be 
completed within 3 to 6 months, although occasionally studies 
are of longer duration. Some probes include interim memos and 
briefings to subcommittee staff in addition to a final report. 
The timing, format, and frequency of reports are tailored to 
the needs of the subcommittees. A catalog of all the 
investigations conducted from January 2019 through December 
2020, 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 chairwoman 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 GAO which were underway during 
the 116th Congress follows:

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

        with a majority present determines by roll call vote 
        that all or part of the remainder of that hearing on

        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.

        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

        subcontract thereof), or contracts or payments 
        originating from a foreign government, 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 and related to the subject matter of the 
        hearing. Such statements, with appropriate redactions 
        to protect the privacy of witnesses, shall be made 
        publicly avail- able in electronic form not later than 
        1 day after the witness appears. The disclosure 
        referred to in this paragraph shall include the amount 
        and source of each Federal grant (or subgrant thereof) 
        or contract (or subcontract thereof) related to the 
        subject matter of the hearing, and the amount and

        the subject matter of the hearing originating with a 
        foreign government.

        selected by the Minority to testify with respect to the 
        matter under consideration during at least 1 day of 
        hearings thereon.
          (2) The Committee and its subcommittees shall observe 
        the 5-minute rule during the interrogation of witnesses

        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, and shall be 
conducted in accordance with the requirements set forth in 
clause (4)(f) of rule XI of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives. Neither the full Committee Chair or 
subcommittee chair 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

determines by majority vote, a quorum being present for the

                   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 which may 
                indicate the necessity or desirability of 
                enacting new or additional legislation; and
            (2) its formulation, consideration, and enactment 
        of 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--

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *


                      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 
an 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 the 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 pursuant to 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 instructions 
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 of 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.
