How Long Can the Defense Department Finance FY2008 Operations in Advance of Supplemental Appropriations?

Abstract

The Department of Defense is currently financing both day-to-day peacetime activities and overseas military operations in Iraq and elsewhere with funds appropriated in the regular FY2008 Defense Appropriations Act, P.L. 110-116. That measure provides $460 billion for the Defense Department to cover the costs of baseline, non-war-related programs in FY2008. The Administration has also requested $189.3 billion in FY2008 supplemental appropriations for the Department of Defense to cover war-related costs. Congress has approved $16.8 billion of that amount, all for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. The remainder has been held up pending debate over Iraq policy.
