Appropriations and Authorization for FY2002: Defense
Abstract
On June 27, the Administration submitted an amended fiscal year 2002 defense budget request to Congress. The request totals $343.5 billion in funding for the national defense budget function, $18.4 billion more than in the initial White House budget plan, submitted on April 9, and $32.9 billion above the amount originally enacted for FY2001. The total includes funding for the Department of Defense and for defense-related activities of the Department of Energy and other agencies. Administration officials have characterized the amended request as a get well budget that focuses on military personnel and readiness, with decisions on major weapons programs deferred until the Administration completes its ongoing review of military strategy.
