    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 59 during the 117th 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 
117th Congress are displayed in Appendix C).

                   SUMMARY OF APPROPRIATIONS ACTIONS


                             117th Congress

    The House Committee on Appropriations implemented an 
ambitious agenda during the 117th Congress focused on 
responding to emergent needs, delivering results for 
communities, and strong oversight. The Committee's first action 
of the 117th Congress was to hold a bi-partisan briefing on 
January 26, 2021, to review the Capitol Complex Security 
Failures on January 6. The Committee then formally organized on 
February 4, 2021, in a meeting presided over by Chair Rosa L. 
DeLauro.
    On February 26, 2021, Chair DeLauro announced that the 
Committee would accept Member requests for Community Project 
Funding [otherwise known as ``earmarks'' in House rules] in 
appropriations bills during the fiscal year 2022 process. This 
was one of several efforts the Committee employed to restore 
the power of the purse and demonstrate that Congress can 
deliver for communities. Congress last considered earmarks in 
appropriations bills in 2010, and the new process included a 
number of a key reforms for transparency and accountability.
    On May 14, 2021, the Committee introduced the Emergency 
Security Supplemental to Respond to January 6th Appropriations 
Act, 2021 (H.R. 3237), which included $1.9 billion to respond 
to the January 6th attack on the Capitol Complex. The House 
considered and passed H.R. 3237 on May 20, 2021, by a vote of 
213-212. The text was amended in the Senate, returned to the 
House, and passed under suspension on July 29, 2021.
    In the intervening days, the Committee initiated its markup 
process on June 24, 2021, starting with subcommittee markup of 
the Financial Services and General Government bill. The 
following week the full committee reported both the Legislative 
Branch bill and the Financial Services and General Government 
bill to the full House on July 1, 2021. Within four weeks, the 
Committee reported out all twelve appropriations bills with the 
last bills filed in the House on July 20, 2021.
    Seven bills were packaged together for Floor consideration 
as H.R. 4502. Those were: Labor, Health and Human Services, 
Education, and Related Agencies; Agriculture, Rural 
Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related 
Agencies; Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies; 
Financial Services and General Government; Interior, 
Environment, and Related Agencies; Military Construction, 
Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies; and Transportation, and 
Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies. The 
package was debated on the Floor on July 27, 2021 and passed on 
July 29th by a vote of 219-209. The House considered the State 
and Foreign Operations bill on July 28th, which passed the 
House 217-212. The House also considered the Legislative Branch 
appropriations bill on July 28th, which cleared the House by a 
vote of 215-207.
    On September 21, 2021, the Committee introduced a 
continuing appropriations Act, H.R. 5305, to maintain 
government funding through December 3, 2021, along with 
emergency funding for disaster assistance and supplemental 
appropriations for Afghanistan-related needs. H.R. 5305 passed 
the House 220-211, was amended in the Senate, and on September 
30, 2021, the House passed the revised version of H.R. 5305. It 
was signed into law on the same day (P.L. 117-43). In the 
interim, the Committee also introduced the Iron Dome 
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 (H.R. 5323), which the 
House passed 420-9 on September 23rd but received no further 
action in the Senate.
    On November 5, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs 
Appropriations Act was considered on the Floor as part of the 
larger Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684), one 
of the largest investments in infrastructure in history. H.R. 
3684 was signed into law on November 15, 2021 (P.L. 117-58).
    A second continuing appropriations Act along with 
supplemental appropriations for Afghanistan (H.R. 6119) was 
passed by the House on December 2, 2021, and extended 
government funding until February 18, 2022. It was signed into 
law on December 3, 2021 (P.L. 117-70). This completed action on 
the committee's activity during the first session.
    During the second session, the Committee's work followed a 
similarly ambitious agenda. A third continuing resolution (H.R. 
6617) passed the House on February 8, 2022 and was signed into 
law on February 18, 2022 (P.L. 117-86), to extend funding 
through March 11, 2022, as well as provide assistance to 
Ukraine and respond to the Joint Base Pearl Harbor Drinking 
Water Emergency. A fourth continuing resolution (H.J. Res. 75) 
passed the House on March 9, 2022, by a voice vote and was 
enacted into law on March 11, 2022, (P.L. 117-95) extending 
funding through March 15, 2022.
    Final action on the fiscal year 2022 appropriations bills 
occurred in March 2022, with enactment of the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2022 (H.R. 2471). The House passed H.R. 
2471 on March 9, 2022; the vote was considered as a divided 
question with Commerce, Justice, Science; Defense; Homeland 
Security; and certain other supplemental appropriations passing 
by a vote of 361 Yeas to 69 Nays. The second vote, on the 
contents of the rest of the package was 260-171. The next day, 
the Senate approved the bill 68-31. The President signed the 
bill into law on March 15, 2021, (P.L. 117-103) and the 
appropriations-related contents of Public Law 117-103 are as 
follows:

      Division A--Agriculture, Rural Development, Food 
and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2022
      Division B--Commerce, Justice, Science, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2022

Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2022
      Division E--Financial Services and General 
Government Appropriations Act, 2022
      Division F--Department of Homeland Security 
Appropriations Act, 2022
      Division G--Department of the Interior, 
Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2022
      Division H--Departments of Labor, Health and

      Division I--Legislative Branch Appropriations

      Division L--Transportation, Housing and Urban 
Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2022
      Division N--Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations 
Act, 2022.

    The Committee held a number of Defense-related oversight 
hearings in the month of March, and with the release of the 
President's budget on March 28, 2022, the Committee turned its 
attention to fiscal year 2023 appropriations process, and 
associated budget hearings.
    On May 17, 2022, the Committee introduced the Infant 
Formula Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 (H.R. 7790), to 
provide emergency supplemental appropriations in response to 
the infant formula crisis. The House passed H.R. 7790 the next 
day by a vote of 231-192.
    The Committee developed an aggressive schedule to hold all 
subcommittee and Full Committee markups during June 2022. All 
markups were conducted in a hybrid setting with several Members 
participating remotely. Within a span of sixteen days, the 
Committee completed work on all 12 appropriations bills, 
beginning with the Subcommittee markup of the Defense 
appropriations bill on June 15, 2022, and ending with the Full 
Committee reporting the last two bills (Transportation, Housing 
and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 
2022, and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2022) on June 30, 2022.
    The Committee brought six bills to the Floor in a 
consolidated package (H.R. 8294) on July 19, 2022, which was 
debated over two days and passed the House on July 20, 2022, by 
a vote of 220-207. The six bills in the package were: 
Transportation-HUD, Agriculture, Energy and Water, Financial 
Services, Interior, and Military Construction-Veterans Affairs.
    On July 28, 2022, the Supreme Court Security Funding Act of 
2022 to provide emergency supplemental appropriations to 
support protection for members of the Judiciary was considered 
alongside the CHIPS Act of 2022 and Research and Development, 
Competition, and Innovation Act (H.R. 4346). That bill was 
signed into law on August 9, 2022 (P.L. 117-167).
    On September 30, 2022, the House passed H.R. 6833 which 
provided continuing appropriations through December 16, 2022, 
and supplemental appropriations for assistance to Ukraine and 
for other matters. It was signed into law later that day (P.L. 
117-180).
    On December 13, 2022, the Committee released a second 
continuing appropriations bill to extend appropriations by one 
week through December 23, 2022. The bill passed the House on 
December 14, by a vote of 204-201.
    To close out fiscal year 2023, the Committee consolidated 
the 12 appropriations bills into one final Omnibus package to 
be considered as an amendment between the House and Senate 
(H.R. 2617). This package also contained additional 
supplemental appropriations for Ukraine assistance in a 
separate division (division M) and disaster relief (division 
N). The Senate cleared the package with amendments on December 
22, 2022 by a vote of 68-29. The House passed H.R. 2617 on 
December 23, 2022 by a tally of 225-201-1 (present). It was 
signed into law on December 29, 2022 (P.L. 117-XXX). In 
addition, the House adopted a special rule which included a 7-
day continuing resolution (H.R. 4373) to allow government 
operations to be maintained while H.R. 2617 was processed and 
sent to the President for signature.
    The contents of H.R. 2617 related to appropriations are as 
follows:

      Division A--Agriculture, Rural Development, Food 
and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2023
      Division B--Commerce, Justice, Science, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023
      Division C--Department of Defense Appropriations

Appropriations Act, 2023
      Division N--Disaster Relief Supplemental 
Appropriations Act, 2023.

    During consideration of appropriations bills during the 
117th 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 participate in 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 contribute to the legislative process helped to 
ensure support for the bills throughout each appropriations 
cycle.
    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 117th Congress. The Committee conducted 116 
hearings, receiving testimony from 894 witnesses during the 
first session, and conducted 89 hearings with 221 witnesses 
during the second session. These hearings informed and guided 
the Committee in the development of the fiscal year 2022 and 
fiscal year 2023 appropriations bills.
    In total, 24 regular appropriations bills were enacted in 
the 117th Congress (12 for FY2022 and 12 for FY2023), in 
addition to 11 supplementals and 7 continuing resolutions.
    The charts and tables following this summary display the 
history of fiscal year 2022 and fiscal year 2023 
appropriations, as well as budget comparisons for the fiscal 
year 2022 and fiscal year 2023 funding levels.

  to the Committee's website on October 18, 2021, but did not formally consider those bills in Committee. The respective chairs of each of eight of those nine subcommittees that did not
  formally consider the fiscal year 2022 appropriations legislation introduced the text of those bills that were posted on the Committee's website. This table shows those bill numbers. (https:/
  /www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/majority/chairman-leahy-releases-remaining-nine-senate-appropriations-bills)

Amounts reflects estimates from the Congressional Budget Office at the time the legislation was considered.
 
\1\ Amounts include funding for disasters, emergencies, program integrity, and wildfire suppression that was designated as such pursuant to a concurrent
  resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2023 or prior fiscal years.
\2\ Unless otherwise noted, advance appropriations first becoming available for fiscal year 2022 that were enacted within a subcommittee's jurisdiction
  in a previous fiscal year are shown in the totals for the corresponding annual appropriations Act for fiscal year 2023 in this table. In addition,
  division J of P.L. 117-58 and division B of P.L. 117-159 provided supplemental advance appropriations for each of fiscal years 2022 through 2026 that
  were designated as being for an emergency requirement.
\3\ Amounts do not include $50 million for Agriculture and $1,085 million for Labor, HHS, Education, provided for the purposes authorized by the 21st
  Century Cures Act (P.L. 114-255). Such amounts do not count for the purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Balanced Budget and
  Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA), or the concurrent resolution on the budget.
\4\ Amounts do not include certain funding requested or provided from activities related to the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund or section 2106(c) of the
  Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-121). Pursuant to section 14003 of the CARES Act (P.L. 116-136), such amounts do not
  count for the purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, BBEDCA, or the concurrent resolution on the budget.
\5\ Includes funding for fiscal year 2023 for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
\6\ Section 145 of the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2023, provided $62 million in regular appropriations to the Department of Health and Human
  Services (HHS), both amounts for the full-year. That amount is reflected in the totals for division G of H.R. 2617.
\7\ Sections 121, 125, 131, and 146 of the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2023 provided $4,923 million in full year appropriations that were designated
  as emergency requirements pursuant to the concurrent resolution on the budget.
\8\ In fiscal year 2023, the Committee provided $3,052 million for program integrity initiatives at the Departments of Labor and Health and Human
  Services. Without a concurrent resolution on the budget in place, budget enforcement differed between the House and the Senate with respect to which
  amounts for program integrity initiatives counted as regular amounts, and which counted as program integrity amounts. This table reflects the final
  bill agreement to provide $707 million in regular amounts and $2,345 million in additional program integrity amounts, even though for the purposes of
  budget enforcement in the House, $728 million was charged as regular amounts and $2,324 million as program integrity amounts.

               INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED BY THE COMMITTEE


                            (117th Congress)

    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 117th Congress, S&I investigative 
staff have completed or have under active review four 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 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. 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 three to six 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 
2021 through December 2022, listed by the requesting 
subcommittee, follows.
   STUDIES COMPLETED, STARTED OR REMAINING ACTIVE BY THE SURVEYS AND 
  INVESTIGATIONS STAFF, COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS, SECOND SESSION,

--DoT Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD)

--Federal Aviation Administration Facilities Construction Management

    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 GAO 
which were underway during the 117th Congress follows:

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

        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.

        section 5 (c) of these rules to be present for the 
        purpose of taking testimony, (1) may vote to close the

        development of schedules for meetings or hearings after

        scheduling of Committee and subcommittee meetings or 
        hearings.

        Committee or any of its subcommittees as the case may

        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; a disclosure of the 
        amount and source (by agency and program) of any 
        Federal grant (or subgrant thereof) or contract (or 
        subcontract thereof), or contracts, grants, or payments 
        originating from a foreign government, received during 
        the past 36 months by the witness or by an entity 
        represented by the witness and related to the subject 
        matter of the hearing; and a disclosure of whether the 
        witness is a fiduciary (including but not limited to a 
        director, officer, advisor, or resident agent) of any 
        organization or entity that has an interest in the 
        subject matter of the hearing. Such statements, with 
        appropriate redactions to protect the privacy of 
        witnesses, shall be made publicly available in 
        electronic form, 24 hours before the witness appears to 
        the extent practicable, but 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)

                execution, and effectiveness of Federal laws;

        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--

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

    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

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.

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.
