Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies: FY2009 Appropriations
Abstract
Soon after it convened, the 111th Congress initiated H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), otherwise known as the economic stimulus. Passed by both chambers and enacted by President Barak Obama on February 17, 2009, the Act adds approximately $4.3 billion to the $119.6 billion regular FY2009 appropriations for military construction and veterans affairs accounts contained in Division E of the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act for FY2009. The President?s request for those funds and Congress? disposition of the request are discussed in this report on pp. 2 through 9, below. The balance of the report discusses those parts of the President?s regular FY2009 budget request covered by the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies appropriations bill.
