Across-the-Board Rescissions in Appropriations Acts: Overview and Recent Practices (open access)

Across-the-Board Rescissions in Appropriations Acts: Overview and Recent Practices

This report provides information on the main components of across-the-board rescissions and recent practices since FY2008. The annual appropriations process reqires an agreement on the level of funding for individual items or accounts but also with regard to the total amount of discretionary budget authority that will be provided for that fiscal year. If that agreed-upon amount requires a reduction in budget authority and sufficient reductions are not associated with individual programs, an alternative method to reduce that amount is an "across-the-board rescission."

Department of State and Foreign Operations Appropriations: A Fact Sheet on Legislation, FY1995-FY2015 (open access)

Department of State and Foreign Operations Appropriations: A Fact Sheet on Legislation, FY1995-FY2015

This report discusses the foreign affairs appropriations passed within the last 21 years; nearly all of them were passed within omnibus, consolidated, or full-year continuing resolutions, and usually after the start of the new fiscal year. Many foreign policy experts contend that stand-alone appropriation legislation would allow for a more rigorous debate on specific foreign policy activities. They also believe that the practice of delayed appropriations has constrained ongoing program operating levels and the ability to introduce or fund new programs that did not exist in the previous year's budget.
