An Alternative to the One Year O&M Budget and Appropriation.

Abstract

This research report provides some background information on what items are included in the Operations and Maintenance Appropriation of the Air Force budget. A description of the current procedures for budgeting and appropriating the funds for O&M within the Air Force follows, which also identifies problems with the current procedures for this 12-month appropriation. As an alternative, a two-year budget and appropriation is described followed by a discussion of the potential advantages and disadvantages. Program stability is seen as the major advantage while the perceived loss of control by Congress is viewed as the major disadvantage. A two-year test of the alternative is proposed.
