Introduction
March 6, 2005, marked the 138th anniversary of the creation of the
Committee on Appropriations of the United States Senate. In that time,
the 287 members of the Committee, led by 25 different chairmen, have
helped guide the financial operations of the United States Government
through times of war and peace, depression and prosperity,
constitutional crisis and political tranquility. The Committee's work
has affected the lives and well-being of every American and the welfare
of countless millions around the world.
The information in this publication will be useful to the members of
the Committee, the Congress generally, and students of Government
interested in the development and functioning of the Congressional
appropriations process.

A History of the Senate Committee on Appropriations and the Appropriations
Process in the Senate
I. THE FIRST CENTURY AND A HALF: 1789-1946
``THE POWER OVER THE PURSE''
The appropriating power of Congress rests upon the authority conferred by
Article I, section 9, of the U.S. Constitution:
No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of
Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of
the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published
from time to time.
The experiences of the Continental Congress left no doubt in the minds of
the Founding Fathers about the importance of placing the ultimate control
over funds in the hands of those who were directly responsible to the
people. James Madison Federalist Paper No. 58 cited this point succinctly:
This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most
complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm
the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress
of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and
salutary measure.
Since adoption of the Constitution, no one has seriously questioned the
exclusive right of Congress to appropriate funds or the corollary authority
to specify the objects of appropriations and the amounts of specific
appropriations. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, however, less
agreement existed regarding the degree of control that Congress should
exercise over appropriations and over expenditures once appropriations had
been made. In 1789 the First Congress made the Secretary of the Treasury
responsible for compiling and reporting estimates of the public revenues
and expenditures, but failed to give him the authority to review
expenditure estimates and to oversee the use of appropriations. During the
Presidency of George Washington, Secretary of the Treasury Alexander
Hamilton favored wide executive discretion, based on lump-sum congressional
appropriations, with the Treasury Secretary having broad authority in his
role as a minister of finance and an agent of and adviser to Congress. The
administration of Thomas Jefferson, however, took a different approach.
Jefferson named Albert Gallatin as Secretary of the Treasury, who as a
Member of the House of Representatives had advocated legislative control
over spending through use of specific appropriations. Jefferson's first
message to Congress in 1801 spelled out this philosophy:
In our care, too, of the public contributions intrusted to our
direction it would be prudent to multiply barriers against their
dissipation by appropriating specific sums to every specific purpose
susceptible of definition; by disallowing all applications of money
varying from the appropriation in object or transcending it in
amount; by reducing the undefined field of contingencies and thereby
circumscribing discretionary powers over money; and by bringing back
to a single department all accountabilities for money, where the
examinations may be prompt, efficacious, and uniform.
Acceptance of congressional control in theory, however, did not dissuade
the executive departments from seeking loopholes in the law as they spent
the funds appropriated. Departments even made expenditures on a deficiency
basis, forcing Congress to appropriate new funds for the remainder of a
year. They also transferred appropriations without specific authority, let
contracts in anticipation of appropriations, and carried forward unexpended
balances, despite the enactment in 1795 of a law directing that any
unexpended balances should be transferred to the surplus fund. Mingling of
appropriations was not uncommon, and the loosest of control was exercised
over the use of appropriations once they were made. As early as 1806, John
Randolph, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, deplored the
decline of congressional fiscal control, stating that appropriations were
``a matter of form, or less than a shadow of a shade, a mere cobweb against
expenditures.''
Congress made periodic attempts to regain authority over the purse strings
of the Nation. In 1802, it instituted a postaudit expenditure review, which
it strengthened in 1816. An 1809 act required public officials to account
for appropriations solely on the basis of the purpose of the appropriation.
An 1820 law required the Secretaries of War and Navy to submit annually
their estimated financial requirements, together with a statement of the
unexpended balances still available from previous appropriations. As time
went on, other departments of the Government were required to submit
similar information. An 1823 act prohibited the advance of public funds
prior to appropriations.
Despite these efforts, an almost constant tug of war between the executive
and legislative branches of Government continued throughout the 19th
century. While Congress recognized its responsibility to provide
legislative oversight of the way funds were used, it was reluctant to
impose rigid controls in the event of an emergency. Furthermore, individual
members frequently favored Government activities that would have been
restricted by limitations on appropriations.
EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF APPROPRIATIONS PROCESS
In the first two congresses, the general appropriations were made in single
bills. The first appropriations bill of record, in 1789, appropriated
$639,000 and read as follows:
An act making appropriations for the service of the present
year.
Section 1. Be it enacted, etc., That there be appropriated for
the service of the present year, to be paid out of the moneys which
arise either from the requisitions heretofore made upon the several
States or from the duties on impost and tonnage, the following sums,
viz:
A sum not exceeding $216,000 for defraying the expenses of the
civil list under the late and present Government; a sum not
exceeding $137,000 for defraying the expenses of the Department of
War; a sum not exceeding $190,000 for discharging the warrants
issued by the late board of treasury, and the remaining unsatisfied;
and a sum not exceeding $96,000 for paying the pensions to invalids.
Beginning in 1791, Congress--always alert to protect its constitutional
powers to appropriate funds--frequently made appropriations for a
particular purpose, using funds derived from a specific source. One
instance illustrates these points: in February, 1791, President George
Washington sent to the Senate a message indicating that he intended to
ransom U.S. citizens held captive in Algiers and seeking an appropriation
``on your earliest attention'' for the recognition of the treaty with the
new emperor of Morocco. In response, the Senate advised the President by
resolution to suspend any effort to ransom the captives until funds were
appropriated, and it adopted an appropriation of $20,000 for the purpose of
recognizing the emperor, with the funds to be derived from duties on
distilled spirits. Continuing the trend towards specific funding measures,
Congress in 1794 enacted a separate appropriation for the army, and 5 years
later, in 1799, passed an appropriation for the navy.
THE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
In the early years of the Republic, the Senate did much of its legislative
work through temporary ad hoc committees specially appointed to handle
bills, including appropriations requests. By 1815, the Senate had
authorized between 90 and 100 such special committees, while creating only
4 standing committees, which were administrative rather than legislative in
function.
Then, in 1816, the Senate adopted a new system. On a motion by Senator
James Barbour of Virginia, the Senate added 11 standing committees to the 4
already established. One of these was the Committee on Finance, which for
the next 50 years handled appropriations bills. While this arrangement
provided some of the needed legislative coordination, the executive branch
still had no unified budgetary procedure. No single office was responsible
for preparing and coordinating the estimates for appropriations. Instead,
each department of the Government requested the amount it believed
necessary to fund its programs.
During the ensuing decades, Congress enacted many laws to wrestle with what
was termed ``the usurpation of control by the departments of the
Government.'' With little success, legislators adopted procurement and
contracting regulations, transportation and salary restrictions, and even
expenditure limitations. In the years from 1846 to 1848, Government
operation costs skyrocketed, as the war with Mexico engaged the Nation's
attention. Total expenditures rose from $22 million in 1845 to $57 million
in 1847, and deficits in 3 years aggregated a higher total than any since
the War of 1812. Probably as a result, the Senate on December 19, 1850,
adopted the first legislative limitation on appropriations, embodied in
Rule 30 of the Senate \1\, which read as follows:
\1\ Rule 30 was framed in terms of amendments to general appropriations
bills because the custom (based on the House's insistence) was for the
Senate Finance Committee (and later the Appropriations Committee) to amend
the House bill rather than originate a Senate bill.
No amendment proposing additional appropriations shall be received to
any general appropriation bill, unless it be made to carry out the
provisions of some existing law, or some act or resolution previously
passed by the Senate during that session, or moved by a standing
committee of the Senate, or in pursuance of an estimate from the head of
some of the departments; and no amendment shall be received whose object
is to provide for a private claim, unless it be made to carry out the
provisions of an existing law or a treaty stipulation.
A decade later, the increased Federal Government expenditures incurred
during the Civil War dwarfed those from the war with Mexico. For 8 years,
between 1858 and 1865, the Treasury Department showed a deficit in Federal
balances that reached $963 million in 1865. That year, for the first time,
expenditures passed the billion-dollar mark, and, in the following year,
the interest on the public debt rose about $100 million. During the Civil
War period, the Federal Government spent millions of dollars without
Congress making appropriations, in what is generally regarded as the high-
water mark of the exercise of executive power in the United States. The
exigencies of the moment frustrated congressional attempts to control the
purse, as the President wrote, ``I feel that measures, otherwise
unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the
preservation of the Nation.'' Once the national danger subsided, however,
Congress reasserted its constitutional rights and directed its attention to
control of appropriations.
CREATION OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
At the beginning of the Fortieth Congress in March 1867, Senator Henry B.
Anthony of Rhode Island offered a Senate resolution providing for the
creation of ``a Committee on Appropriations, to consist of seven members.''
His purpose was ``to divide the onerous labors of the Finance Committee
with another committee'' by separating the tax-writing and appropriating
processes. The House had already established an Appropriations Committee 2
years earlier. Without further discussion, Anthony's resolution was
considered by unanimous consent and agreed to, giving birth to the Senate
Committee on Appropriations on March 6, 1867. The lack of Senate debate
over the proposed resolution indicates that Members recognized the need to
control the appropriations process, as well as to ensure better management
of Government spending by giving one committee the sole responsibility to
examine executive agency budget estimates. When the Senate approved the
membership of its standing committees the next day, it named the following
members to the new Committee on Appropriations:
Lot M. Morrill of Maine, chairman
James W. Grimes of Iowa
Timothy O. Howe of Wisconsin
Henry Wilson of Massachusetts
Cornelius Cole of California
Roscoe Conkling of New York
James Guthrie of Kentucky
Senator Anthony then offered a resolution to amend Rule 30 of the Senate,
to which relatively minor changes had been made in 1852 and 1854. The new
resolution was far-reaching:
Resolved, That the 30th rule of the Senate be amended by adding thereto
the following words, namely: ``And all amendments to general
appropriation bills reported from the committees of the Senate,
proposing new items of appropriation, shall, 1 day before they are
offered, be referred to the Committee on Appropriations; and all general
appropriation bills shall be referred to the said committee.''
This resolution, which the Senate agreed to without debate, gave the
committee an opportunity to examine all proposed amendments, thus
precluding spontaneous floor amendments. On the first appropriation bill
reported by the committee, Senator Lot Morrill raised a point of order--
which the Senate sustained--against a floor amendment about which the
Committee on Appropriations had not received prior notice.\2\
\2\ This measure, the first appropriation bill ever considered by the
Senate Committee on Appropriations, was S. 83, Fortieth Congress,
originating in the Senate. It was amended in both houses and in the
conference. Only one of the three conferees, Senator Morrill, was a regular
Appropriations member. Along with other items for the Senate, House, and
executive branch, the bill contained $2,898 for the salary (covering
approximately 16 months) for the clerk of the Senate Committee on
Appropriations. President Andrew Johnson signed the bill into law on March
29, 1867.
The operations of the newly formed committee were in many ways similar to
those in practice today. To handle the various appropriation bills, the
committee soon established 13 subcommittees, with three members assigned to
each, responsible for the following topics:
Agriculture
Army
Deficiencies
Diplomatic and consular
District of Columbia
Fortification
Indian
Legislative
Military Academy
Navy
Pensions
Post Office
Sundry Civil
In the Senate, as in the House, the Committee on Commerce continued to
handle the rivers and harbors appropriation bill, which had been provided
for as a separate bill since 1826 and was not considered a ``general''
appropriation bill.
FISCAL REFORM POLICIES
Once created, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees moved promptly
to correct loopholes in the way appropriated money was used. They first
attacked the problem of commingling and transferring funds. As the power of
the Presidency had waxed or waned between 1817 and 1868, Congress had
passed at least 11 measures either limiting, regulating, or extending the
power of the President to transfer funds from one object of appropriation
to another. At the instance of the Senate Appropriations Committee in 1868,
an amendment to a deficiency appropriation bill repealed all acts
authorizing the transfers of appropriations. On the floor, the bill was
further amended to forbid using money for any purpose other than that for
which it was appropriated, although unexpended balances could still be
employed for purposes similar to those for which Congress had appropriated
the funds.
A further problem not addressed by the 1868 act continued, however, because
executive agencies often tapped unexpended balances in years subsequent to
those for which Congress had appropriated the money. Because this practice
made it virtually impossible for the Treasury Department and Congress to
ascertain the exact amounts of these unexpended funds, the Appropriations
Committees were unable to judge accurately the actual needs of the various
agencies. The legislative appropriations bill in 1870 became the vehicle to
rectify the problem. As finally enacted, the law provided that all
unexpended balances from appropriations made specifically for a given
fiscal year would be placed in the surplus fund of the Treasury, although
such funds could be used to fulfill contracts made within that year.
Another section in the same act later became section 3679 of the Revised
Statutes, subsequently known as the Anti-Deficiency Act. This section
stated that no department could make greater expenditures during a fiscal
year than the amount provided by Congress. Nor could a department involve
the Federal Government in any contract for the future payment of money in
excess of appropriations.
In addition, the act provided that the Treasury Department should report
all balances of appropriations that had remained on the books without being
drawn against for 2 years after the date of the last appropriation. If
these amounts were not required in order to settle accounts, they might be
transferred to the surplus fund. An interpretation by the Attorney General,
however, virtually nullified the intent of this provision. His ruling
stated that any agency's authority to expend would be automatically
extended for another 2 years if any part of the unexpended balance was
drawn on within the first 2-year period. Congress hastened to correct this
assumption by passing a law in 1874 that stipulated:
. . . the Secretary of the Treasury shall cause all unexpended balances
of appropriations which shall have remained upon the books of the
Treasury for 2 fiscal years to be carried to the surplus fund and
covered into the Treasury.
The measure excepted permanent specific appropriations and those for rivers
and harbors, lighthouses, fortifications, public buildings, and the pay of
the navy and marine corps.
No significant changes occurred in the committee's structure during the
next three decades. Although its membership was enlarged from 7 to 9 in
1873, temporarily to 10 in 1885, and then to 13 in 1895, no revisions in
the subcommittee makeup are recorded during this period. General revisions
of the Senate rules in 1877 and 1884 had little impact on the committee,
except that in the latter year the Senate adopted Rule XVI, regarding
amendments to appropriation bills, incorporating much of what had
previously been contained in Rule 30. Passage of the Dockery Act in 1894
improved the fiscal management of the Government but continued to vest
control of spending in the executive branch, so that Congress still lacked
the authority to conduct an independent review of agency expenditures.
RESTRICTIONS ON COMMITTEE IN 1899
On January 28, 1899, the Senate adopted a rules change that profoundly
affected the operation of the Committee on Appropriations by removing most
of the appropriation bills from its jurisdiction. The House of
Representatives had already taken a similar step in 1885 when it removed
all but 6 of the 14 general bills from the control of its Appropriations
Committee, referring them instead to the related legislative committees.
Students of Government assert that the sentiment to restrict the power of
the Committee on Appropriations developed in reaction to the practices that
had helped Congress maintain some control over the national purse strings.
Executive agencies and others concerned about establishing and operating
individual programs chafed under restrictions that hampered their previous
freedom of operation. They objected to requirements initiated by the
Appropriations Committee, such as the detailed itemization of
appropriations, restrictions on their power to transfer funds, the
provision returning unexpended balances to the treasury, and the
prohibition on contract obligations in excess of appropriations.
In December 1895, Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho introduced a resolution
to curb the committee's power by amending Rule XVI to strip the Committee
on Appropriations of most of its control over appropriations. The
resolution directed that the appropriate legislative committees would
handle appropriations dealing with agriculture, consular and diplomatic
activities, the military establishment (including the military academy),
the naval establishment, post offices, Indians and Indian tribes, rivers
and harbors, fortifications, the District of Columbia, and pensions. The
Appropriations Committee would retain control only over appropriations for
the legislative, executive, and judicial expenses; sundry civil expenses;
and all deficiencies. Two months later, Senator Dubois, objecting to
consideration of an urgent deficiency appropriation bill, insisted that his
resolution be made the pending business. The Appropriations Committee
chairman, Senator William B. Allison, defended the committee, asserting
that it ``has with fidelity represented the interests of the Senate as
manifested by votes here upon this subject,'' and another committee member,
Senator Eugene Hale of Maine, denounced the motion as a proposal ``to
dismantle the committee.'' After extended debate, punctuated by
considerable parliamentary maneuvering, the Senate referred the resolution
to the Committee on Rules with instructions to report back to the Senate by
the beginning of the next session. Three days after the second session
began, on December 10, 1896, Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, for the Committee
on Rules, requested and received an extension of time to consider the
resolution.
The committee took no further action in that Congress. Two years later, on
December 21, 1898, Senator William E. Chandler of New Hampshire, on behalf
of Senator Thomas H. Carter of Montana, offered the same resolution to
amend Rule XVI. The stated purpose was ``to facilitate and expedite the
business of the Senate.'' Senator Chandler resubmitted the resolution 3
weeks later on January 10, 1899, and asked that it be placed on the
calendar. He indicated that either he or Senator Carter would move to
proceed to its consideration at the earliest appropriate moment. When
Senator Aldrich of the Committee on Rules called up the resolution on
January 28, it was considered by unanimous consent and agreed to without
comment. That no debate took place seems to indicate that opinion in the
Senate had come to support the resolution, which established a procedure
similar to one adopted by the House 14 years earlier. Under the resolution
as passed by the Senate, the rivers and harbors bill continued to be
referred to the Committee on Commerce, and the bills on agriculture, the
army, the military academy, Indians, the navy, pensions, and the Post
Office went to the appropriate legislative committees. These changes left
the Appropriations Committee with a diminished, but still substantial,
jurisdiction, divided among six subcommittees. Among the remaining
subcommittees, for example, the Legislative Subcommittee was responsible
for funding for the salaries and contingent expenses of most of the
executive branch departments (including the civilian administration of the
Navy and War Departments, but not the Agriculture Department) in the
Legislative, Executive, and Judicial bill. The Sundry Civil Subcommittee
provided funding for the activities of a wide variety of agencies (such as
the Bureau of Mines, the Customs Service, the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and the Veterans' Bureau). The Sundry Civil bill was frequently
the largest of the general appropriations bills. The Appropriations
Committee also retained subcommittees to consider the Diplomatic and
Consular, District of Columbia, and Fortifications bills, as well as a
subcommittee devoted to deficiencies.
For the next 20 years, little significant change occurred in the
appropriations process. In 1911, the committee's membership rose to 17 and
in 1915 to 20, but no revisions of consequence took place in the referral
of bills and the authority of the committee.
DECENTRALIZED APPROPRIATIONS PROCEDURES, 1900-1920
Even under the decentralized approach to Federal financing, the
Appropriations Committee continued its efforts to place some restraints on
Government spending. During the period between 1897 and 1909, the
expenditures occasioned by the Spanish-American War, together with enlarged
Federal functions, practically doubled annual appropriations. Because the
customs duties and tariff revenues that had provided the major source of
Government funds from the early days of the Republic no longer sufficed to
finance the increased outlays, this extensive spending resulted in an
unbalanced budget, with deficits existing in 10 of the 16 years between
1894 and 1909.
A further problem from a congressional standpoint was the growing use by
executive branch agencies of a device that has been termed ``coercive
deficiencies.'' An agency would spend at a rapid rate money that had been
appropriated for an entire year. When the funds neared exhaustion, the
agency informed Congress that, if additional appropriations were not
provided, the required services would have to be stopped, in order to
comply with the Anti-Deficiency Act of 1870. Although Congress complained
about this practice, it felt obliged to grant the funds, in order to avoid
curtailing or shutting down some executive function deemed vital to the
Nation. Compounding the problem, the loss of jurisdiction by the
Appropriations Committee meant that two different committees might have
handled the original appropriation and the deficiency request. The Senate
and House Appropriations Committees, led by their chairmen, Senator Eugene
Hale and Representative (later Senator) James A. Hemenway, resolved to end
this practice of the ``understrappers,'' as Senator Hale termed them, who
flaunted their power in the face of congressional edict. In 1905 and 1907,
Congress twice amended the antideficiency language in section 3679 of the
Revised Statutes. In addition to the provision of 1870 requiring that
expenditures be limited to money appropriated for a given fiscal year, the
new law stipulated that the appropriations should be apportioned by monthly
or other allotments, in order to prevent excessive expenditures in one
portion of the year that would necessitate a deficiency appropriation later
on. This law could only be waived by informing Congress in the event of
``some extraordinary emergency or unusual circumstance'' that could not be
anticipated at the time the apportionment was made.
In another action, the Appropriations Committee in 1906 sought to stop the
practice of permitting the heads of departments to submit their estimates
``piecemeal,'' as Senator Hale termed it. Instead, Congress directed each
agency to include in its initial request the full amount that would be
needed to carry out its responsibilities. If additional funds were later
required to implement new laws or to provide a necessary public service,
the request should include a full statement explaining the urgency of the
need and the reasons for omitting the amount from the annual estimates.
Further, a provision of the Sundry Civil Appropriation Act in 1909 made the
President responsible for recommending to Congress the methods by which
annual expenditure estimates might be brought within the estimated
revenues.
THE BUDGET AND ACCOUNTING ACT OF 1921
Although the decentralized approach to appropriations was slow to die, a
new concept of budgeting gradually developed in the first two decades of
the 20th century. In 1910, shortly after the revision of antideficiency
legislation, President William Howard Taft appointed a Commission on
Economy and Efficiency. Its report 2 years later urged the adoption of a
Federal budget system. Shortly before leaving office in 1913, President
William Howard Taft attempted to implement a key recommendation of the
Commission by submitting a consolidated executive budget, but Congress
refused to consider it, and the Commission quietly went out of business the
following year. The outbreak of the First World War delayed further
congressional consideration of the question of a new budget system, but by
the time the Budget and Accounting Act was signed into law by President
Warren G. Harding in 1921 the idea of an executive budget had been accepted
as a necessity for achieving economy and efficiency.
During World War I, as in previous wars, the executive branch was granted
great flexibility in its use of appropriated funds. A Congress eager to
support the war effort and avoid having fiscal procedures hinder military
operations permitted such tactics as lump-sum appropriations, the use of
revolving funds, and a generally worded permission to employ contract
authority and incur obligations in excess of appropriations. Once the war
was over, however, Congress moved to reassert its control over the use of
funds, particularly in light of a general concern that retrenchment was
needed. The average annual appropriation for the 10 years prior to World
War I had hovered at the billion-dollar mark but, by the war's end, the
amount had soared to $27 billion. For fiscal year 1920, the first peacetime
year, appropriations stood at approximately $6.5 billion, over six times
the prewar average. The answer appeared to be a major budgetary overhaul.
Congress took the first steps soon after the war, when it discontinued as
no longer necessary the practice of making large lump-sum appropriations.
Congress also rescinded some appropriations and curtailed the use of
revolving funds, while liquidating many of the war-spawned Government
corporations. Such changes controlled practices brought about by wartime
exigencies, but they did not strike at the root of the problem. For
example, coercive deficiencies continued to flourish, despite the
requirement of section 3679 of the Revised Statutes that appropriations be
allocated over the course of a full year. Although Appropriations Committee
Chairman Senator Francis E. Warren of Wyoming fought against this practice,
he faced the old problem that, if Congress denied these requests for
deficiencies, it would be penalizing public servants and others who had
earned their salaries or furnished commodities for which they should be
paid. The fact also remained that no one had been punished under the
provisions of the Anti-Deficiency Act.
Other major problems were all too evident. Each agency of the Government
had generally dealt directly with Congress in its requests for funds.
Neither the President nor the Treasury Department exercised any coordinated
control over budgetary policies and requests. Although after 1909 the
Treasury Department had the responsibility to inform the President if a
budget deficit was anticipated, little or no overall budgetary control
existed. The Treasury Department collected the estimates submitted by the
departments and agencies and transmitted them to Congress without changes.
From a legislative standpoint, the system that the Senate had employed
since the turn of the century had obvious drawbacks. With no centralized
responsibility for budgetary consideration, eight different committees
pursued their own courses, and appropriations for a single department might
be handled by several different committees. As an extreme example,
appropriations for the War Department were contained in four different
bills before three separate committees. Over the years, many legislators
contended that such fragmentation of appropriations among numerous
committees was in the end extravagant, with some describing the prevailing
system as ``illogical, unscientific, and universally condemned by
disinterested students of our Government.'' The platforms of both major
parties in 1916 had also stressed the need for reform.
To address these problems, Congress in 1919 passed a budget and accounting
bill, which President Woodrow Wilson vetoed on constitutional grounds
involving his power to remove the comptroller general from office. Two
years later, however, the attempt succeeded, and President Warren G.
Harding signed the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921. Passage of the law
brought major changes in the entire appropriating procedure, designed to
give Congress greater control over the budgetary process and to establish a
more centralized approach to financial policy in both the executive and
legislative branches.
The most far-reaching single fiscal reform measure promulgated since the
establishment of the Republic, the Budget and Accounting Act provided for
unified executive control over budget submission and created a legislative
agency whose duties included a centralized oversight of all executive
spending. Implementation of the act also led to a consolidation of the
congressional appropriations process.
Thus, after 130 years, the financial operation of the Government was to be
brought within a centralized system. Specifically, the law required the
President to transmit to Congress the proposed annual budget of the United
States. To oversee this process, it established a Bureau of the Budget,
located in the Treasury Department but under the immediate direction of the
President, which was empowered to assemble, correlate, revise, and reduce
or increase the estimates of the several departments and establishments.
In addition, the act established the General Accounting Office, headed by a
comptroller general of the United States, which was to be entirely
independent of the executive branch and responsible only to Congress as its
fiscal representative and auditor. The agency's powers, which have since
been enlarged, were sweeping, giving Congress an independent agent to audit
executive accounts and investigate all receipts, disbursements, and
applications of public funds. The new General Accounting Office also
absorbed powers previously delegated to the Treasury Department under the
1894 Dockery Act. In regard to deficiencies, the act specified that the
comptroller general should report to Congress expenditures or contracts
made by any department or agency in violation of the law.
COMMITTEE JURISDICTION RESTORED
In 1922, after the new act took effect, the Senate confronted the need to
adjust to the altered arrangement of appropriations measures. With the
approval of the President, the Bureau of the Budget proposed a new
structure for considering the regular annual appropriations bills, and the
House Committee on Appropriations--which had assumed control over all
general appropriations again in 1920--adopted the procedure. According to
the Senate procedure followed since 1899, a large number of appropriations
bills were referred to legislative committees, while the remainder went to
the Committee on Appropriations. The new arrangement wiped out most of the
old categories of appropriations bills and substituted new ones, grouped
according to the various units of governmental organization. Although the
law required, and the Bureau of the Budget provided, alternative lists of
estimates (one under the old method of procedure and one under the new) the
Senate needed to offer some direction regarding the proper course to
pursue. As Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Francis Warren pointed
out:
. . . if the so-called budget law is put into effect as it was intended,
it will require us to pursue very much the same procedure as the other
House is now pursuing and under which they are working so harmoniously
and expeditiously in the present Congress. On the other hand, if it be
sought to divide over the various appropriation bills as heretofore,
then, I think, it will be better that the rule shall distinctly refer to
the bills under this new designation and cause their reference to
whatever committee may be provided. My purpose will be to state the
facts and to introduce a resolution which may go to the Committee on
Rules in order that they may consider the entire subject.
The new procedure, envisaging a changed structure cutting across the lines
of the previous appropriations process, affected the bills referred to the
various legislative committees as well as those sent to the Appropriations
Committee. Not one bill previously handled by the legislative committees
remained as it was; only one bill, the deficiency measure, remained
unchanged; and only two bills under the old titles would be referred to the
Senate Committee on Appropriations. Concerned about the need to take some
action, Senator Warren proposed the following resolution--while indicating
that he had no desire to infringe on the rights and privileges of any
individual Senator or committee:
Resolved, That clause 1 of rule 16 of the Standing Rules of the
Senate be amended so as to read as follows, to wit:
``1. All general appropriation bills shall be referred to the
Committee on Appropriations, and no amendments shall be received to
any general appropriation bill the effect of which will be to
increase an appropriation already contained in the bill, or to add a
new item of appropriation, unless it be made to carry out the
provisions of some existing law, or treaty stipulation, or act, or
resolution previously passed by the Senate during that session; or
unless the same be moved by direction of a standing or select
committee of the Senate, or proposed in pursuance of an estimate of
the head of some one of the departments.''
The effect of the proposed resolution would be to bring all general
appropriations back under the control of the Committee on Appropriations,
which, in turn, could set up subcommittees compatible with the new budget
structure and the operations of the House committee.
The subject was broached by Senator Warren on January 16 and 18, 1922, and
the actual debate on the resolution began on March 1 and continued until
March 6. The Rules Committee recommended that Senate Rule XVI be amended so
that all general appropriation bills would be referred to the Senate
Committee on Appropriations and that the chairman and two other members of
the Committees on Agriculture and Forestry, Military Affairs, Naval
Affairs, Post Office and Post Roads, Commerce, and Foreign Relations would
sit with the members of the Committee on Appropriations on those matters
over which the legislative committees maintained jurisdiction. It was
further proposed that an appropriation bill would be subject to a point of
order if the bill contained amendments proposing new or general
legislation.
Although some opposition existed to the entire concept of the Committee on
Appropriations assuming control over all appropriations, most of the debate
centered on the idea of having ex officio members from the legislative
committees sitting with the Committee on Appropriations when agencies
within their legislative jurisdiction were requesting funds, and,
similarly, having them represented on the conference committees. Senator
Pat Harrison of Mississippi moved that the Senate reverse the proposal and
provide that three members of the Committee on Appropriations sit in
conference with the members of the legislative committees. Senator George
Norris of Nebraska, on the other hand, favored eliminating the ex officio
legislative committee members from appropriations consideration. The final
arrangement authorized three members of the legislative committees to sit
with the Committee on Appropriations during consideration of appropriations
for the designated departments, and authorized one to sit on the
conferences. The District of Columbia legislative committee received the
same rights as the other legislative committees.
Some Senators also worried about making the Committee on Appropriations all
powerful, but the amendment to Rule XVI, as perfected on the floor, stilled
much of the opposition by forbidding the committee to report an
appropriation bill containing amendments proposing new or general
legislation. A point of order could be lodged against any bill including
such an amendment that, if sustained, would send the measure back to
committee. The Senate adopted the amendment to Rule XVI by a vote of 63 to
14.
To implement the revised structure of appropriations bills, the committee
established a new set of subcommittees, including: Agriculture; Commerce
and Labor; Deficiencies; District of Columbia; Independent Offices;
Interior; Legislative; Navy; Post Office; State and Justice; Treasury; and
War Department, which was responsible for both military and civilian
functions (such as river and harbor improvements done by the Corps of
Engineers). During the next 25 years only minor changes took place in the
subcommittee structure, such as the combination of the Treasury Department
and the Post Office subcommittees, and the combination of the State and
Justice Departments with the Commerce and Labor Departments subcommittees
(and later, establishing a separate Labor Department subcommittee).
The committee procedure remained generally stable from the time of the 1922
amendment to Rule XVI to the passage of the Legislative Reorganization Act
in 1946. The size of the committee, however, did fluctuate somewhat. By
1915, the committee had increased to 20 members, but the amendment to Rule
XVI decreased it again to 16, because of the fear of either a too unwieldy
or a too powerful committee, as well as because of the addition of ex
officio members to the committee (a practice that lasted until the 94th
Congress). In 1927 it was increased to 19 members, in 1931 to 23 members,
in 1935 to 24 members, and in 1943 to 25 members.
II. THE MODERN ERA
LEGISLATIVE REORGANIZATION ACT OF 1946
As World War II was drawing to a close, many Members of Congress recognized
the growing need for a major overhaul of the Federal structure. The
depression of the 1930s and the war in the 1940s had spawned a vast number
of new agencies to meet these national crises. At the same time, the close
scrutiny over appropriations and their use that Congress had so
painstakingly evolved was again loosened to permit executive flexibility in
the administration of emergency measures. Once more, Congress had resorted
to lump-sum appropriations, had legalized transfers of appropriations, and
had created a multiplicity of corporations, first to combat the depression
and later to aid the conduct of the war. In the closing days of 1945,
Congress passed the Government Corporation Control Act and an act to
provide for the reorganization of Government agencies. These laws were
designed to make possible financial control of Government corporations and
promote economy in Government by eliminating, coordinating, and
consolidating agencies. Congress also again ended lump-sum appropriations
and prohibited transfers of appropriations.
Recognizing that it must also set its own house in better order, Congress
in 1945 created a joint committee, chaired by Wisconsin Senator Robert M.
La Follette, Jr., with Representative A.S. Mike Monroney of Oklahoma as
vice chair, to make a full study of the organization and operation of
Congress. As a result of that study, joint committee members introduced a
bill in 1946 proposing changes in the institutional operations of Congress.
The Senate passed the legislation in June; the House acted the next month;
and President Harry Truman signed it into law on August 2, 1946. The
measure as enacted stipulated that there should be a total of 16 standing
committees in the Senate, a marked reduction from the previous 33. It
further required--for the first time in history--that the rules of the
Senate define the jurisdiction of the reorganized committees. The act
described the jurisdiction of the Committee on Appropriations as follows:
``to which committee shall be referred all proposed legislation,
messages, petitions, memorials, and other matters relating to the
following subjects:
1. Appropriation of the revenue for the support of the
Government. . . .''
The original bill had proposed that the membership of the committee be
reduced to 13, but a floor amendment raised the number to 21, still a
decrease of 4 from the previous 25.
The act also provided that Senators could serve on no more than two
standing committees, with the exception of members of the Committees on
Expenditures and the District of Columbia. This change eliminated the
multiplicity of assignments, which had risen to as many as 10 standing
committee memberships for a single Senator.
To provide more adequate staffing of congressional committees, the bill
authorized employing four staff experts for each committee, and each
subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations was also to be assigned
four qualified staff assistants. A subsequent amendment left the size of
the staff to the discretion of the committee, while making clear that an
expanded staff was favored. Left to each committee's discretion were the
qualifications of the staff, which had been a focus of discussion during
the Senate debate. In 1947 the number of committee staff members was
increased considerably.
JOINT COMMITTEE ON THE LEGISLATIVE BUDGET
The Legislative Reorganization Act also revived and expanded an idea that
had been suggested by Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington in 1921. He
had urged creation of a joint committee ``to meet promptly at the convening
of each session of Congress,'' in order to examine Government revenues and
prepare to allocate the funds that would be available for appropriation
during the ensuing fiscal year. The new act established a Joint Committee
on the Legislative Budget to be composed of members of the Senate and House
Appropriations Committees, the Senate Finance Committee, and the House Ways
and Means Committee. The joint committee was to meet at the beginning of
each regular session and, after study and consultation, report to the
respective houses a legislative budget for the ensuing fiscal year,
including the estimated Federal receipts and expenditures for that year.
The report would recommend the total amount to be reserved for
deficiencies, as well as a reduction in the public debt if estimated
expenditures were expected to exceed receipts. A concurrent resolution was
to accompany the report, fixing the maximum amount to be appropriated for
expenditure during that year. If expenditures were estimated to exceed
receipts, the report would include a statement of the sense of Congress
that the public debt would be increased by the amount of the excess. After
considerable discussion, the date of the report was fixed at February 15 of
each year, although the original recommendation had been April 15. At the
time, Senator Alben Barkley of Kentucky expressed reservations about the
timing of the report, and subsequent experience demonstrated that his
misgivings were well founded.\3\
\3\ The original bill also included a deficit reduction provision that was
eventually dropped. If, midway through the fiscal year, total Federal
expenditures appeared likely to exceed receipts by more than the
congressionally approved deficit, the provision required the President
uniformly to reduce all appropriations to bring the deficit within the
limit previously set, unless there was a national emergency.
Attempts were made in 1947 and 1948 to carry out the intent of the
legislative budget provision, with little success. In 1947 the conferees
between the two Houses were unable to reach a final agreement on the
differing versions of two budget resolutions passed after joint meetings.
In 1948, both Houses adopted a joint resolution, but a strongly worded
minority report noted basic defects in the procedure. In 1949, a joint
resolution that would have suspended the legislative budget provision
pending further study was introduced but blocked by an objection. The joint
committee held no further meetings after that time.
OTHER EFFORTS TO CONTROL SPENDING
In 1950 Congress attempted another experiment, in the form of a
consolidated appropriations bill, in which all appropriations were to be
considered in a single measure. The proponents believed that the plan would
promote economy, speed up the appropriations process, and provide Congress
with the total funding picture before any appropriations were made. The
complexity and magnitude of the operation, however, made the committee's
work difficult and floor consideration cumbersome. The experiment was
therefore not repeated.
Congress did enact other laws designed to improve and strengthen controls
over the budgetary process that were more successful. The National Security
Act Amendments of 1949, for example, reorganized the fiscal management in
the Department of Defense to promote efficiency and economy. In 1950 the
Budget and Accounting Procedures Act improved the process for budgeting,
accounting, and auditing, as well as permitting the President to prepare a
performance budget focusing on the functions of the Government. That act
also strengthened the Office of the Comptroller General and placed a
variety of statistical and informational requirements on the executive
branch, in order to provide both branches of Government with better tools
for legislative and management controls. The Supplemental Appropriations
Act for 1955 tightened the basis for reporting obligations. In addition,
the Appropriations Committees took steps to strengthen antideficiency
legislation during the 1950s by adopting more effective controls,
simplifying the allotment system, and limiting the nature of deficiency
requests. In 1958 Congress amended the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 to
authorize an accrued expenditure limitation system, although opponents of
the plan believed that the legislation would not provide the desired
controls.
Fiscal controls have been enhanced since the 1950s by more frequent use of
the annual authorization process initiated by the legislative committees.
Originally, appropriations were based on the legal authority contained in
basic statutes creating Government departments and agencies and by
revisions of those laws. The change to require annual authorizations for
many programs enables Congress to review twice--through the authorization
process and through the appropriations process--the financial requirements
of many Government agencies, particularly in those areas where requirements
change markedly from year to year. Since the upper limits of many
appropriations are defined through the authorization process, the
appropriation procedure is closely tied to authorization action.
THE 1974 BUDGET ACT AND SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENTS
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, the budget deficit grew as a result
of increased spending for both the Vietnam war and domestic programs,
leading Congress on several occasions to adopt spending limits. Then,
during the Presidency of Richard Nixon, as the executive branch became
increasingly concerned about controlling spending, the President began
impounding certain program funds appropriated by Congress that exceeded the
amount included in his original budget. This action raised the question
whether the executive branch or Congress had final control over spending.
In response to this executive-legislative branch conflict, Congress passed
the 1974 Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act, creating a
comprehensive new Federal budget process. Since the goal was to enable the
Senate and House to examine the entire budget for a fiscal year including
appropriations, direct spending, and revenues, and set priorities among
programs, Congress needed access to independent fiscal estimates and
technical expertise, rather than relying on executive branch agencies that
reported to the President. The legislation therefore established a
Congressional Budget Office as a legislative branch agency reporting to
Congress. While retaining the Senate and House Appropriations Committees in
their traditional roles, the law created Budget Committees in each body to
oversee the new process. In order to combat the impoundment problem, the
act established a system permitting the President, with congressional
approval, to defer or rescind spending of appropriated funds. Under the new
process, Congress would use a concurrent resolution to establish a plan
setting forth the levels for taxation, spending, and the deficit. The plan
would then be implemented through enactment of budgetary legislation in the
traditional manner. The act also changed the Government's fiscal year to
begin on October 1 rather than July 1 as it had previously.
In spite of the new budget process, the national budget deficit climbed
steeply in the early 1980s, leading Congress in 1985 to adopt the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act (known popularly as Gramm-Rudman-
Hollings after its Senate sponsors, Senators Phil Gramm of Texas, Warren B.
Rudman of New Hampshire, and Ernest F. Hollings of South Carolina). Aimed
at achieving a balanced budget within 5 years, this law provided that, when
the Federal deficit exceeded certain levels, automatic across-the-board
cuts in spending (known as ``sequestration'') would take place.
When budget deficits again began to rise a few years later, congressional
leaders tried the so-called budget summit approach, in which they met with
representatives of the administration to seek agreement on ways to reduce
the deficit. While they achieved some temporary success, by 1990 the
deficit soared once more, far exceeding the targets set under Gramm-Rudman-
Hollings. As part of a budget summit plan negotiated with President George
Bush to cut the deficit, Congress enacted the Budget Enforcement Act of
1990. This act shifted the focus of budgetary control away from the deficit
and instead defined limits for the contents of budgetary legislation. It
established two new control mechanisms, both enforced by sequestration:
spending caps designed to limit the level of discretionary spending
provided in appropriations acts; and the pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) process
designed to limit changes in the overall level of revenues and direct
spending due to new legislation (but not due to external factors, such as
economic conditions). Initially these restrictions were designed to last
through 1995, but in 1993 they were extended through 1997, and in 1997 they
were extended through 2002.
As a result of spending conflicts between Congress and the President, and
within Congress as well, during the 1980's it became increasingly difficult
to enact all of the appropriations bills before the beginning of the fiscal
year. In response, Congress began to use continuing resolutions--originally
designed to provide temporary funding at the start of a fiscal year if
action on one or more of the regular appropriations bills were stalled--as
a substitute. Congress also began using such continuing resolutions as
omnibus appropriations measures, using them to supplant final action on all
13 regular appropriations bills in 1986 and 1987. The use of omnibus
appropriations measures, combining the contents of two or more regular
appropriations bills, continued through the 1990's, although continuing
resolutions were less likely to be the vehicle for such action.
PRESENT COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
Throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, the Senate Committee on
Appropriations has continued its work on individual appropriations bills,
while operating within the framework of the budget process established in
1974, as modified in 1985 and 1990. A number of members of the Senate
Appropriations Committee also serve on the Budget Committee, providing an
informal liaison between the two committees.
Over the decades, the subcommittee structure has also changed to reflect
developments in the executive branch. With passage of the National Security
Act of 1947, as amended in 1949, for example, the subcommittees dealing
with the military establishment were combined, first into the Armed
Services Subcommittee and later, in 1955, into the Department of Defense
Subcommittee. In 1967 a Transportation Subcommittee was established to
handle appropriation requests for the newly formed Department of
Transportation.
In 1969 (91st Congress), the Full Committee relinquished consideration of
bills for funding foreign aid to a Subcommittee on Foreign Operations. In
1971 (92nd Congress), the Committee reserved consideration of general
supplemental bills to the Full Committee and eliminated the Subcommittee on
Deficiencies and Supplementals, leaving the Committee with 13
subcommittees.
In 2003 (108th Congress), in response to the enactment by Congress of
legislation in 2002 creating a new Department of Homeland Security, the
Committee created a Subcommittee on Homeland Security whose jurisdiction
mirrored that of the new department. Portions of departments, agencies,
bureaus and accounts that had been previously funded in eight subcommittees
were moved to the jurisdiction of the new subcommittee. Activities
previously funded in the Transportation and Related Agencies subcommittee
and the Treasury, General Government subcommittee but not moved to the
Homeland Security subcommittee, were considered by in a new Transportation,
Treasury and General Government subcommittee. After restructuring, the
Committee continued to have 13 subcommittees.
In 2005 (109th Congress), the Senate Appropriations Committee adopted a
major reorganization, eliminating the Subcommittee on Veterans Affairs,
Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies and making the
following major changes:
--jurisdiction of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), the National Science Foundation, and the
Office of Science and Technology Policy transferred to the former
Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, State, and the Judiciary;
--jurisdiction of Veterans Affairs transferred to the former
Subcommittee on Military Construction;
--jurisdiction of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development transferred to the former Subcommittee on
Transportation, Treasury and General Government;
--jurisdiction of the Judicial Branch transferred from the
former Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, State, and the Judiciary
to the former Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury and General
Government;
--jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Agency
transferred to the Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies;
--jurisdiction of energy-related accounts formerly exercised
by the Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies transferred
to the Subcommittee on Energy and Water; and
--jurisdiction of the State Department and related agencies
transferred to the former Subcommittee on Foreign Operations.
The present subcommittee structure is as follows:
Agriculture, Rural Development, and Related Agencies
Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies
Defense
District of Columbia
Energy and Water, and Related Agencies
Homeland Security
Interior and Related Agencies
Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies
Legislative Branch
Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies
State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs
Transportation, Treasury, the Judiciary, Housing and Urban Development, and
Related Agencies
CONCLUSION
Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution of the United Sates reads: ``No
money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of
Appropriations made by law.'' In this 16-word clause, the Constitution
explicitly vests Congress with the power of the purse, the national power
over the raising and expenditures of Government funds.
In Federalist 58, James Madison, the Father of our Constitution, wrote that
the ``power over the purse may be regarded as the most complete and
effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate
representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance,
and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.''
In Federalist 78, Alexander Hamilton, the foremost proponent of executive
power at the Constitutional Convention, wrote: ``The legislature not only
commands the purse but prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights
of every citizen are to be regulated.''
After winning the Revolution, our Founding Fathers built a system of
Government to inhibit tyranny. They did so by devising a form of Government
that separated the three branches of Government, the executive,
legislative, and the judicial, because, as Madison pointed out in
Federalist 47, tyranny results whenever the three branches of Government
are concentrated in the same hands. Then, in Federalist 51, he noted that
the key to avoiding a concentration of power in a single branch was ``in
giving to those who administer each department the necessary constitutional
means and personal motives to resist encroachments of the others.''
In giving the legislature the power of the purse, our Founding Fathers were
fully aware of the long struggles over money between Parliament and Crown
in England. In Federalist 58, Madison wrote that the power of the purse was
``the powerful instrument by which we behold, in the history of the British
constitution, an infant and humble representation of the people gradually
enlarging the sphere of its activity and importance.''
Through appropriations of Federal money, Congress not merely sets aside
particular amounts of money; it defines the character, extent, and scope of
authorized activities. With the power to appropriate funds, Congress can
define and limit Presidential power. In domestic as well as in foreign
affairs, it can withhold all or part of an appropriation and may attach
riders to appropriations measures to proscribe certain actions. The
Founders knew that by making the President the Commander in Chief, they
were giving him awesome powers that could be abused. For this reason,
George Mason warned the Philadelphia Convention in 1787, that ``the purse
and the sword ought never to get into the same hands.'' For this reason,
the sword was placed in the hands of the executive, while the purse was
placed in the hands of Congress, the representative of the people.
Congress is the people's branch of Government, and it is Congress that will
best preserve the American republic. If Congress is to ensure that we will
never have a strong, unchecked executive with the capacity to abuse power
and endanger individual freedoms, and if Congress is to continue as a
coequal branch of Government, a healthy, vigorous system of checks and
balances is essential. If Congress is to remain a strong, independent,
vigorous and aggressive branch, ready, willing, and capable of retaining
close control over executive agencies and the President, it must retain
control of the purse strings.
The Budget Cycle
From the time of the conception of the budgets of the individual
departments and agencies to the signing of the appropriation bills into law
requires about 18 months. The process involves a large number of
individuals and organizations, a great many decisions, and numerous
procedures.
The first steps are taken in the executive branch by the various
departments and agencies. In the spring, program offices in executive
agencies begin compiling material necessary for the budget submission that
will culminate in the President's budget request to Congress the following
February. [So, for example, for the fiscal year 2006 budget request that
was submitted in February 2005, agencies began the process in the spring of
2004.] Budget formulation officially begins in March or April when the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), as the overseer of budget
development for the President, issues its spring guidance outlining the
administration's program priorities and overall funding levels. Departments
in turn issue guidelines to subordinate agencies; these guidelines are
consistent with the administration's policy positions and provide
instructions on the departmental budget decision-making process. Typically
a department's budget is built from the bottom up. At each stage, agency
and department budget staff review requests and make recommendations to
senior managers who are responsible for policy and funding decisions.
The Government Performance and Results Act requires that OMB have agencies
prepare annual performance plans along with their budget requests. These
annual performance plans set out performance goals for the fiscal year, a
description of operational processes, and the measures used to show
progress towards meeting planned objectives. Like agency budget requests,
agency performance plans are submitted to OMB for review in early fall.
As agencies engage in their internal decision making process during the
late spring and summer, OMB prepares for the next stage of budget
formulation with the submission of department budgets for OMB's review.
Although the specifics vary, this typically consists of three principal
activities: (1) development of position papers by OMB staff on issues that
are likely to be raised in OMB's fall reviews, such as administration
program priorities, initiatives, or agency management, (2) preparation of
the Mid-Session Review, which provides an update to the budget request
pending before Congress and informs OMB's review of the departments'
submissions in September, and (3) issuance of further guidance on the
content, format, and deadlines for department budget submissions. From
September through most of November, OMB conducts budget reviews--which can
include department or agency hearings and requests for further
information--that culminate in Director's Reviews. Director's Reviews are
internal OMB sessions in which final decisions are usually made on what the
President will request for departments and agencies. Departments are
informed in late November of the outcome of these sessions and have a brief
period to appeal. Once decisions are final, the departments and agencies
conform their budget submissions accordingly. From December on, OMB and the
agencies prepare the President's budget, which by law must be submitted to
Congress between the first Monday in January and the first Monday in
February. In recent years, the President's budget has been submitted on the
first Monday in February. This marks the end of the executive branch budget
formulation process in the budget cycle.
Meanwhile, the congressional budget process begins in January with the
Congressional Budget Office's [CBO] report on The Budget and Economic
Outlook. Currently this outlook covers 10 years. Shortly after the
submission of the President's budget, the House and Senate Budget
Committees begin the process of preparing a congressional budget
resolution. This is a concurrent resolution containing the Congress' views
on the appropriate level of spending and revenues--i.e. the appropriate
fiscal position of the Government--and of broad funding priorities. The
resolution allocates budgetary resources by budget function--such as
national defense or transportation or education and training, et cetera.
The reports accompanying the resolution (including the conference report)
also identify allocations by committee, including the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees. The Appropriations Committees then subdivide
these resources among their 12 subcommittees to fund Federal Government
operations and other activities under the Committees' jurisdiction.
Agencies are required to submit to the relevant Appropriations
subcommittees budget justifications consistent with the Presidents budget,
but at a level of detail that meets the Appropriation subcommittee's needs.
The Senate and House Appropriations subcommittees set up schedules for the
hearing of departmental and agency officials, usually starting with the
secretary of the department, with the subordinate heads of the agency
following. All administration statements are submitted to OMB for clearance
before being sent to the subcommittees; these statements, and the
justifications of estimates, are examined by members and staff. The
testimony, which is transcribed by an official reporter, is subsequently
released by the committee. The House and Senate Appropriations hearings
often occur during the same time frame.
Hearings before the Senate Appropriations subcommittees are usually held in
open session with the public invited. Under the normal practice, only
matters involving national security are heard in executive session and,
even then, an attempt is made to keep the public informed by releasing at
the time of the hearing unclassified versions of the classified statements
made by officials, and publishing at a later date ``cleared'' versions of
the testimony. Because much of the committee's work involves information
available only to the executive agencies, the preponderance of testimony is
provided by officials of these agencies. However, representatives of other
groups and informed individuals may appear before the committee, and their
testimony is given due weight.
In the 109th Congress, each of the 28 members of the Senate Committee on
Appropriations is assigned to from five to up to seven subcommittees,
although, in the past, members have sometimes been assigned to as many as
eight subcommittees. Membership on the subcommittees currently ranges from
5 to 19 regular members. Hearings on appropriations bills ranges from a
minimum of a few days to a normal maximum of several weeks, although they
may extend over a period of months, depending on the magnitude of the
submission and the importance attached to the presentation. For many years
the committee has usually made it a practice to review the budget requests
in their entirety, as distinguished from considering only appeals from
previous House action.
The members of the subcommittees are experts in the areas over which they
exercise authority. Their long tenure on the subcommittees, the interests
of their States, their own national interests, and frequently their
membership on related legislative committees provide them with a rich
background of knowledge and experience, thus enabling them to deal
skillfully with a wide variety of unique and recurring problems of
National, State, or local import. This exacting and time-consuming work
carried on by the members is in addition to their work on other committees,
the necessity for their frequent floor appearances on other legislative
matters, and the work they must accomplish in their own offices in
connection with the requests and interests of their constituents.
After the hearings, an appropriation bill is ``marked up'' by the
subcommittee. That is, the subcommittee members make decisions about the
levels of budget authority to be given to the entities under the
subcommittee's jurisdiction. They also make any decisions about any
restrictions or flexibilities they wish to provide regarding the use of
appropriated funds. It is at this session that the members of the
subcommittee decide the amounts to be provided in the bill for each segment
of the particular executive agency under consideration. Subcommittee
meetings, including mark-up sessions, are open to the general public,
except when the subcommittee, in open session by majority vote, decides to
close a meeting because discussions will involve national security, law
enforcement agents or information, or other confidential or sensitive
information.
``Committee prints'' of the bill and report are developed by the staff
under the supervision of the subcommittee. These are then submitted to the
full committee. At these executive sessions, the burden of proof no longer
rests on the witnesses but upon the chairman of the subcommittee, the
ranking minority member, and the other Senators on the subcommittee, who
work together in the formulation of the policy of the subcommittee. This is
normally accomplished in 1 day, although on occasion more time is required.
Once the full committee has agreed to the items and amounts to be contained
in the bill and report, the bill and report are transmitted to the parent
body, House or Senate, as the case may be. The bill and report then are
made available to all interested parties.
Historically, it has been the custom for appropriation bills to be
considered first in the House of Representatives, although there is no
statutory or constitutional requirement for this procedure. Debate on the
bills may be limited to a few hours or may last several days. If the House
acts first, its bill is messaged over to the Senate, where it is referred
to the Senate Committee on Appropriations. There it is studied by the
subcommittee charged with the responsibility for the bill, and there, as
previously described, the subcommittee takes such action and makes such
changes as are deemed advisable. Action by the subcommittee, the full
committee, and the full Senate is roughly comparable to consideration in
the House with one major procedural exception. It has become the custom in
the House for the Rules Committee to provide a special rule for the
consideration of appropriations bills which may place limits on amendments
to be considered on the House floor.
Once both the House and the Senate have passed an appropriations bill, the
two Houses must work out their differences. This is accomplished in a
conference committee. Only such items as are in disagreement between the
two Houses are considered to be in the scope of the conference. In recent
years, the chairmanship of the conference has alternated between the two
Houses.
Conferees are appointed from the membership of the committee. The
conference may be concluded in one session, but frequently several meetings
are required before full agreement on all differences is reached. There is
no rule as to the number of conferees. There have been generally between
seven and nine conferees representing the Senate on appropriations bills,
although in earlier years the number was typically smaller. Since action in
conferences is decided on a unit basis, with one vote for each House, the
number of conferees has no weight in the determination.
After full agreement has been reached in conference, the results are
presented to the House of Representatives. Once agreed upon there, the
measure is sent to the Senate. Approval by both Houses on the conference
agreements concludes congressional action on the bill.
The bill is then messaged to the President for his approval. Once the
President signs the bill, it becomes a public law.
The third phase of the budget cycle, known as budget execution, begins once
an appropriation act becomes law. Before funds provided in statutes are
available to agencies for obligation, they must be apportioned by OMB. The
apportionment process is a way of ensuring that agencies do not obligate
funds in excess of levels provided in law. Apportionments control the rate
at which budget authority is made available either by time period, by
program or by activity. Typically, agency funding is appropriated by
quarter--although not necessarily evenly divided--so that an agency can
obligate only up to the amount available in the first quarter. At the
beginning of the second quarter, additional budget authority becomes
available as well as any amounts in the first quarter that were not
obligated, and so on for the third and fourth quarters. OMB is responsible
for reviewing and approving apportionment requests and making funds
available to departments and agencies. Agencies are required to set up
internal control systems that establish accountability for funds as they
are allocated to subordinate entities and to periodically monitor
obligations to ensure that they are made for authorized purposes and
recorded properly.
Occasionally, spending adjustments may be needed during the year; however
they often require additional reporting and approval by OMB or the
Congress. Spending adjustments after enactment of an appropriation may be
made in several ways: First, while an agency may not transfer funds between
two accounts unless specifically authorized by law (31 U.S.C. Sec. 1532),
heads of departments or agencies are sometimes given authority in the
appropriations act to transfer amounts at their discretion, usually up to a
certain percentage, or subject to other limitations or restrictions.
Second, agencies have inherent authority to reprogram funds from one
purpose to another within the same appropriation account; however,
reprogrammings above an established threshold usually require 15 days
notification to the cognizant appropriations subcommittees. Third,
departments may impound funds, that is, withhold funds from obligation.
Impoundments include both deferrals--the temporary withdrawal of budget
authority within a fiscal year--and rescissions--a permanent cancellation
of budget authority. The Impoundment Control Act requires that all
executive branch impoundments be reported to Congress in a special message
from the President. Deferrals are effective when proposed and, generally
speaking, the President may continue to withhold funds throughout the
fiscal year unless Congress passes legislation disapproving the deferral. A
deferral may not extend beyond the end of the fiscal year of fund
availability. If the funds are multi-year, the deferral can be reproposed
in the next fiscal year. Funds proposed for rescission may be withheld for
45 days of continuous congressional session. If Congress has not approved
the rescission during this 45-day period, the President must release the
funds. The General Accounting Office is responsible for overseeing the
President's compliance with the Impoundment Control Act and is also
responsible for monitoring the status of impounded funds.
Finally, a department may request supplemental funding, which must be
approved by OMB before submitting the request to Congress for its
consideration. For the most part, departments and agencies are expected to
manage their funds within available resources with only limited monitoring
by OMB and Congress during this phase of the budget process.

LOT M. MORRILL
of Maine
Biographies of Committee Chairmen
LOT M. MORRILL
The first chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Lot M.
Morrill, was the first of only two chairmen to serve three times in that
position and the only one who, after retiring from the Senate, returned
to fill the post.
Born in Belgrade, ME in 1813, Morrill attended Waterville (now Colby)
College, studied law, and moved to Augusta in 1841. He became Governor
in 1858 after serving in the State senate and was elected as a
Republican to the U.S. Senate in 1860 to fill a vacancy. On March 7,
1867, he was appointed chairman of the Appropriations Committee and
served until March 3, 1869, when he left the Senate to resume his law
practice. That fall, after the death of William Pitt Fessenden of Maine,
the second chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Morrill was
appointed to the Senate to fill the vacancy. Once again, he was
appointed to the committee and again was made chairman--contrary to the
present practice under which seniority on the committee determines the
chairmanship. He held the post from December 8, 1869, to March 4, 1871,
when he left the committee but not the Senate. Morrill returned to the
committee on December 6, 1872, and once more became chairman on March
12, 1873, after Cornelius Cole, the third chairman, retired. He remained
in the position until July 7, 1876, when he resigned to become Secretary
of the Treasury. From 1877 until his death in 1883, Morrill served as
collector of customs in Portland, ME.
His brother, Abson P. Morrill, also from Maine, was a member of the
U.S. House of Representatives.

WILLIAM PITT FESSENDEN
of Maine
WILLIAM PITT FESSENDEN
William Pitt Fessenden, a Republican of Maine, succeeded Lot Morrill
as chairman, although he had not previously served on the committee. He
occupied that position only from March 16, 1869, until he died on
September 9, 1869.
Born in Boscawen, NH, in 1806, Fessenden graduated from Bowdoin
College in 1827, then studied law and practiced in various cities in
Maine. After serving in the State house of representatives, he was
elected to Congress as a Whig in 1841. Declining to become a candidate
for reelection, he returned to the State house of representatives for
several years before being elected as a Whig to the U.S. Senate, where
he served from 1854 to 1864. He then resigned to become Secretary of the
Treasury in the Cabinet of President Lincoln. In 1865 he was again
elected to the Senate, this time as a Republican, and remained there
until his death. He had the unusual distinction of serving in the Senate
at the same time that his two brothers, also from Maine, were Members of
the House of Representatives.

CORNELIUS COLE
of California
CORNELIUS COLE
Cornelius Cole, a Republican from California who had served on the
committee for 4 years, became chairman on March 10, 1871, holding the
position until his retirement from the Senate 2 years later.
Born at Lodi, NY, in 1822, Cole attended Hobart College, and graduated
from Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT, in 1847. After studying and
practicing law in Cayuga County, he went to California in 1849. There he
worked a year in the gold mines, practiced law in San Francisco, and
later moved to Sacramento and Santa Cruz. During the Civil War, he rose
to the rank of captain in the Union Army. He was elected as a Union
Republican to Congress in 1863 and to the Senate as a Republican 4 years
later, serving from 1867 to 1873, when he retired and returned to
California to practice law. He died in Hollywood in 1924.

WILLIAM WINDOM
of Minnesota
WILLIAM WINDOM
William Windom, a Republican of Minnesota, who served on the committee
for the decade from 1871 to 1881, became chairman on December 6, 1876,
and occupied the position until March 4, 1879.
Born in Belmont County, OH, in 1827, Windom was educated there. As a
young lawyer, he moved to Winona, MN, in 1855. Four years later, he was
elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served until
1869, when he was appointed to fill a Senate vacancy. Elected to the
Senate in 1871, he served until March 4, 1881, then resigned to become
Secretary of the Treasury under President James A. Garfield. After
Garfield's death later that year, he again ran successfully for the
Senate to fill the vacancy caused by his own resignation and served out
his term until 1883, when he failed to be reelected. He then moved to
New York City. In 1889, President Benjamin Harrison appointed Windom
Secretary of the Treasury, and he remained in that post until his death
in 1891.

HENRY GASSAWAY DAVIS
Henry Gassaway Davis, a Democrat of West Virginia, became chairman on
March 19, 1879, and served in that position until March 4, 1881. The
first Democratic chairman of Appropriations, he remained on the
committee from 1873 until his retirement in 1883.
Born in Woodstock, MD, in 1823, Davis worked successively as a farmer,
railroader, and businessman, then became a banker, railroad builder, and
mining executive in West Virginia. After terms in the West Virginia
Legislature as delegate and senator, he was elected to the U.S. Senate
in 1871, serving until 1883, when he declined to be a candidate for
reelection. He then resumed his banking and railroad career. In 1904 he
ran for Vice President on the unsuccessful Democratic ticket headed by
Alton B. Parker. He died in 1916. Davis was the father-in-law of Stephen
B. Elkins, a Senator from West Virginia; the grandfather of Davis
Elkins, also a Senator from West Virginia; and the brother of Thomas
Davis, a Representative from West Virginia.

WILLIAM B. ALLISON
William B. Allison, a Republican of Iowa, was chairman of the
committee twice, from March 18, 1881, until March 4, 1893, and again
from January 1, 1896, until his death on August 4, 1908. This combined
record of more than 24 years exceeds that of any other Senate committee
chairman. Allison served on the committee for all of his 35 years in the
Senate.
Born in Perry Township, Wayne (now Ashland) County, OH, in 1829,
Allison attended Allegheny College, Meadville, PA, and graduated from
Western Reserve College at Hudson (now Cleveland), OH. Admitted to the
bar in 1852, he practiced law in Iowa until 1861, when he accepted a
commission as lieutenant colonel in the Union Army. In 1863 he was
elected to the House of Representatives, declining to run again after
serving four terms. After practicing law in Dubuque for a short period,
he was elected to the Senate in 1872, serving from March 4, 1873, until
his death in 1908.

ROBERT C. BYRD
of West Virginia
ROBERT C. BYRD
Robert C. Byrd, a Democrat from West Virginia, has served on the
Appropriations Committee longer than any other Senator in history. He
joined the committee in 1959, the year he began his Senate career, and
has remained on the committee for all of his years in the Senate. In
1989, he became the 29th chairman of the Appropriations Committee,
serving until 1995. On January 3, 2001, he became the 32d chairman of
the committee, serving until January 20, 2001,\1\ and on June 6, 2001,
he became the 34th chairman of the committee. He is the second Senator
from West Virginia to serve as chairman of the Senate Appropriations
Committee.\2\
Born in North Wilkesboro, NC, on November 20, 1917, Byrd attended West
Virginia public schools and Beckley College, Concord College, Morris
Harvey College, and Marshall College, all in West Virginia, and George
Washington University Law School. He graduated from American University
Law School, cum laude, in 1963. After serving in the West Virginia House
of Delegates from 1946 to 1950 and in the West Virginia Senate from 1950
to 1952, Byrd, in 1952, won election to the U.S. House of
Representatives, where he remained until his election to the U.S. Senate
in 1958. In the Senate, he has held a series of leadership positions,
including secretary of the Democratic Conference from 1967 to 1971 and
majority whip from 1971 to 1977. In 1977 Byrd became Senate Democratic
leader, a post he held for 12 years, as majority leader from 1977 to
1981 and again from 1987 to 1989, and as minority leader from 1981 to
1987. He has served as President pro tempore of the Senate from 1989 to
1995, January 3 to January 20, 2001, and from June 2001 to January
2003.\3\ Since January 2003, Senator Byrd has served as President pro
tempore emeritus of the Senate. He served in more leadership positions
in the U.S. Senate than any other Senator of any party in Senate
history. And in May 2001, Senator Byrd received what he considers his
greatest honor when Governor Bob Wise and the West Virginia Legislature
presented him with the ``West Virginian of the 20th Century'' award.
\1\ At the beginning of the 107th Congress, in January 2001, the
Senate was evenly divided. With a Democratic President and Vice
President still serving until January 20, the Democratic Vice President
was available to break a tie, and the Democrats thus controlled the
Senate for 17 days, from January 3 to January 20. On January 3, the
Senate adopted S. Res. 7 designating Democratic Senators as committee
chairmen to serve during this period and Republican chairmen to serve
effective at noon on January 20, 2001.
\2\ The first was Henry Gassaway Davis, who served as chairman from
1879 to 1881.
\3\ Democrats controlled the Senate from January 3 to January 20,
2001, due to the potential tie-breaking vote of Vice President Gore;
Senator Byrd served during that period. Republicans regained controlled
of the Senate starting January 20, 2001, due to the potential tie-
breaking vote of Vice President Cheney; at that point, Senator Thurmond
again became President pro tempore. Both were elected with a single
resolution on January 3, 2001.

Note.--From January 3 to January 20, 2001 the Democrats held the
majority, thanks to the deciding vote of outgoing Democratic Vice
President Al Gore. Senator Thomas A. Daschle became majority leader
at that time. Starting January 20, 2001, the incoming Republican
Vice President Richard Cheney held the deciding vote, giving the
majority to the Republicans. Senator Trent Lott resumed his position
as majority leader. On May 24, 2001, Senator James Jeffords of
Vermont announced his switch from Republican to Independent status,
effective June 6, 2001. Jeffords announced that he would caucus with
the Democrats, changing control of the evenly divided Senate from
the Republicans to the Democrats. Senator Thomas A. Daschle became
majority leader once again on June 6, 2001.
There were no subcommittee chairmen designated from June 6, 2001
to July 10, 2001.

NOTE.--From 1789 until 1933, the terms of the President and Vice President
and the term of the Congress coincided, beginning on March 4 and ending on
March 3. This changed when the 20th amendment to the Constitution was
adopted in 1933. Beginning in 1934 the convening date for Congress became
January 3, and beginning in 1937 the starting date for the Presidential
term became January 20.
The Committee Rooms
The Senate Committee on Appropriations originally occupied rooms on the
second floor of the Capitol, Rooms S-219 and S- 219A. In 1911, the
Committee moved downstairs into what are now rooms S-127, S-128, and S-129.
The move downstairs coincided with Francis E. Warren's shift from chairing
the Military Affairs Committee, which had previously occupied S-128 and S-
129, to chairing Appropriations. Thus, on that occasion, the chairman
retained the same office space, while the committees moved. Appropriations
has utilized these quarters ever since, with the addition of adjacent rooms
S-125, S-126, S-130, and S-131.
Outside, over the entrance to the reception room, S-128, is a fresco
entitled Bellona, the Roman Goddess of War, chosen because at the time it
was being painted for the Committee on Military Affairs which occupied the
room. Captain Montgomery C. Meigs of the Army Corps of Engineers, who
oversaw construction of the new Senate and House wings of the Capitol in
the 1850s, hired artist Constantino Brumidi to decorate the rooms. Brumidi,
who arrived in the United States from Italy in 1852, had experience
painting frescoes in Rome. He prepared designs and supervised the
decoration of many parts of the Capitol from the 1850s until his death in
1880. Other notable examples of his work in the Capitol appear in the
Rotunda and in the ornately decorated corridors on the first floor of the
Senate wing known as the Brumidi Corridors. Brumidi was working on the
frieze in the Capitol dome at the time he died.
Today, one can still enjoy the full beauty of the reception room's
decorations, all in a military motif. Five frescoed lunettes by Brumidi,
depicting scenes from the Revolutionary War, dominate the upper walls. The
scenes are entitled Storming Of Stony Point, 1779; Washington at Valley
Forge, 1778; The Battle of Lexington, 1775; Boston Massacre, 1770; and
Death of General Wooster, 1777. These frescoes are attractively set off
above plain painted panels of dark green. Between the panels are six
pilasters painted by artist James Leslie in 1857 that show trophy weapons
and military equipment of various historical periods, including swords,
belts, shields, pistols, pikes, trumpets, powder horns, helmets, flags,
battle-axes, muskets, and picks. The ceiling is ornately and symmetrically
decorated with small scenes related to the Revolutionary War, such as the
death of General Montgomery. Around these images are cherubs, wreaths,
flowers, arabesques, garlands, shields, and bundles of fasces. A large
goldleaf mirror, designed for the room in 1859, occupies the center of one
end of the room. It is decorated at the top with a shield with the Stars
and Stripes and models of an artillery piece, drums, muskets, and pikes.
From the ceiling is suspended a large crystal chandelier that replaces the
original bronze gaslighted fixture.
The main Committee room in the Capitol, S-127, located to the north of the
reception room, was formerly occupied by the Committee on Naval Affairs.
The decoration is in a style derived from the remains of ancient Roman wall
paintings in the Baths of Titus and the excavations of Pompeii. As
originally designed by Brumidi, the walls were to be filled with depictions
of U.S. naval battles, and later with illusionistic porticoes. Because of
dissatisfaction with the artists who were to have carried out the work,
only one was ever completed. The ceiling is painted in fresco and tempera
and is highly ornate, dominated by seven Roman gods and goddesses of the
sea, together with ``America'' in the form of a Native American.
Interspersed throughout are scenes of mermaids and centaurs, eagles,
Indians, and settlers. The walls are painted in oil and are divided into
nine panels of maidens in flowing robes with various naval instruments--a
compass, a map, a telescope, and other nautical objects. Three crystal
chandeliers installed in the twentieth century complete the arrangement. Of
particular interest to visitors is the 30-foot conference table that
dominates the room, at which each member has a designated place. The room
is carpeted in a rich red pattern studded with gold stars. A prize-winning
restoration of the room, carried out between 1978 and 1982, included
repainting some damaged areas of the walls and removing bookcases and other
objects that detracted from its appearance. Brumidi's watercolor sketch for
the room and cleaning tests showed that the backgrounds of the panels with
the maidens were a vivid blue under layers of dark green overpaint.
Conservation of the panels began with a study and then a pilot phase on one
panel to verify that it would be possible to remove the overpaint and
recover the original background. The conservators found that the most
effective method was to remove the overpaint and yellowed varnish with
scalpels. The conservation of all of the maiden panels was undertaken in
the summer of 2004. Fortunately, the beautiful maidens painted by Brumidi
were essentially intact, and the conservators were able to skillfully match
the blue color in areas that had been replastered. The conservators also
uncovered the original flowers below the maidens and recreated those that
were lost. A glass panel in the outer door enables members of the public to
view this beautiful room when it is not in use.
The smaller room adjoining the Committee's reception room, S-129, was
assigned to the Committee on the Library at the time Brumidi painted the
ceiling frescoes in 1875. The design therefore represents allegorical
figures of science, architecture, sculpture, and painting. ``Of special
note is the depiction of a bust of author Washingon Irving in the scene
representing `sculpture,' and the drawing of the Capitol dome in the scene
of `architecture.' The other frescoes show `painting' and `science.'' Not
until 1910 did Carl Rakemann, whose father had worked with Brumidi,
complete the decoration of the room. Rakemann, born in Washington, D.C., in
1878, had studied in Europe and had exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art. Since the room was used by the Military Affairs Committee at the time
he worked, he chose a motif in keeping with the adjoining reception room,
painting four lunettes containing portraits of outstanding Revolutionary
generals with historic flags.
The oval portrait in the east lunette shows General George Washington,
flanked by helmets and military weapons of the time and flags of the
colonial period--the Grand Union flag and a flag of the Revolutionary
period of 1777. In the lunette to the south is a portrait of General Joseph
Warren, a physician who, at the age of 34, was killed at Bunker Hill. On
either side of the portrait are the Bunker Hill flag of 1775-1777 and the
Pine Tree flag of the same period. On the west side of the room, the
lunette contains a portrait of General ``Mad'' Anthony Wayne, hero of the
victory at Stony Point. His portrait is flanked by the Massachusetts flag
of the period between 1775 and 1777 and the Rattle Snake flag of the same
period, with the famous inscribed warning: ``Don't tread on me.'' The north
lunette contains a portrait of General Horatio Gates. On the right is the
Liberty flag of 1775-1777, and on the left an American flag of 1818.
Four less elaborately decorated rooms complete the Committee's suite. These
include S-125, used for more than 40 years by the Committee on the
Judiciary before being transferred to Appropriations in 1947, and S-126,
assigned to Judiciary for 90 years until 1947. The original murals and
frescoes in this latter room have disappeared; the present ceiling design
was painted in the twentieth century, and the room underwent extensive
renovation in 1992 and 1995. Room S-130, used during several periods by the
Committee on the Library and from 1933 to 1941 by the majority leader, was
assigned to Appropriations in 1943, as was Room S-131, also previously used
by the majority leader. A lunette in the corridor over the door to S-131
contains an 1875 fresco by Brumidi titled Authority Consults the Written
Law, designed for the Committee on Revision of the Laws, which occupied the
room at the time. In September 1996 the Senate designated S-131 as the
``Mark Hatfield Room,'' in honor of the former Committee Chairman.

Standing Rules of the Senate Relating to Appropriations
RULE XVI--APPROPRIATIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS BILLS
1. On a point of order made by any Senator, no amendments shall be received
to any general appropriation bill the effect of which will be to increase
an appropriation already contained in the bill, or to add a new item of
appropriation, unless it be made to carry out the provisions of some
existing law, or treaty stipulation, or act or resolution previously passed
by the Senate during that session; or unless the same be moved by direction
of the Committee on Appropriations or of a committee of the Senate having
legislative jurisdiction of the subject matter, or proposed in pursuance of
an estimate submitted in accordance with law.
2. The Committee on Appropriations shall not report an appropriation bill
containing amendments to such bill proposing new or general legislation or
any restriction on the expenditure of the funds appropriated which proposes
a limitation not authorized by law if such restriction is to take effect or
cease to be effective upon the happening of a contingency, and if an
appropriation bill is reported to the Senate containing amendments to such
bill proposing new or general legislation or any such restriction, a point
of order may be made against the bill, and if the point is sustained, the
bill shall be recommitted to the Committee on Appropriations.
3. All amendments to general appropriation bills moved by direction of a
committee having legislative jurisdiction of the subject matter proposing
to increase an appropriation already contained in the bill, or to add new
items of appropriation, shall, at least one day before they are considered,
be referred to the Committee on Appropriations, and when actually proposed
to the bill no amendment proposing to increase the amount stated in such
amendment shall be received on a point of order made by any Senator.
4. On a point of order made by any Senator, no amendment offered by any
other Senator which proposes general legislation shall be received to any
general appropriation bill, nor shall any amendment not germane or relevant
to the subject matter contained in the bill be received; nor shall any
amendment to any item or clause of such bill be received which does not
directly relate thereto; nor shall any restriction on the expenditure of
the funds appropriated which proposes a limitation not authorized by law be
received if such restriction is to take effect or cease to be effective
upon the happening of a contingency; and all questions of relevancy of
amendments under this rule, when raised, shall be submitted to the Senate
and be decided without debate; and any such amendment or restriction to a
general appropriation bill may be laid on the table without prejudice to
the bill.
5. On a point of order made by any Senator, no amendment, the object of
which is to provide for a private claim, shall be received to any general
appropriation bill, unless it be to carry out the provisions of an existing
law or a treaty stipulation, which shall be cited on the face of the
amendment.
6. When a point of order is made against any restriction on the expenditure
of funds appropriated in a general appropriation bill on the ground that
the restriction violates this rule, the rule shall be construed strictly
and, in case of doubt, in favor of the point of order.
7. Every report on general appropriation bills filed by the Committee on
Appropriations shall identify with particularity each recommended amendment
which proposes an item of appropriation which is not made to carry out the
provisions of an existing law, a treaty stipulation, or an act or
resolution previously passed by the Senate during that session.
8. On a point of order made by any Senator, no general appropriation bill
or amendment thereto shall be received or considered if it contains a
provision reappropriating unexpended balances of appropriations; except
that this provision shall not apply to appropriations in continuation of
appropriations for public works on which work has commenced.
