FY 2009 Budget UpdateWhat’s Next?

House Appropriations Crafting FY 2009 Omnibus package

Senate Appropriations Unclear – “Still weighing options” Including Full Year CR

FY 2009 Budget UpdateOmnibus v. Full Year CR

Omnibus Allows Congress to direct funding increases Allows Congress to add in policy directives Could approve funds requested for fixed costs & pay

raise Would likely restore some decreases

Downside: If decreases funded under the CR are not increased, other programs must be reduced to cover. Like: Road Maintenance, JOM, UTTC/NTC

FY 2009 Budget UpdateOmnibus v. Full Year CR

Full Year CR Would fund at FY 2008 enacted level (+$100M) Language would determine if earmarks are coninued. Pay Raise/Fixed Costs would be in question. Tribal pay raise was not funded by Congress in FY

2007 full-yr CR. (covered from IA)

Downside: Increases and new starts requested in the FY 2009 President’s Budget would not be funded.

Stimulus Package
