handle is hein.congrec/cbo0650 and id is 1 raw text is: EMERGENCY SPENDING UNDER THE BUDGET ENFORCEMENT ACT: AN UPDATE June 8, 1999 The attached tables and figures update data that were originally provided in the December 1998 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) memorandum, Emergency Spending Under the Budget Enforcement Act. That memorandum analyzed trends in emergency spending since the enactment of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990. It included data for fiscal years 1991 through 1999 and in some cases provided comparative data for earlier years. On May 21, 1999, the 1999 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act (Public Law 106-31) was signed into law. The attached tables and figures update those in the 1998 CBO memorandum to include the effects of that act. They also reflect the release of emergency appropriations that were contingent on an emergency designation by the President when the CBO memorandum was published but that have since been designated as emergencies and made available for obligation. The following tables and figures have been updated: Table 1. Overview of Emergency Spending, 1991-2000 Table 2. Emergency Spending, 1991-2000 Figure 1. Emergency Spending, 1991-2000 Figure 2. Discretionary Supplementals Net of Rescissions, 1985-2000 Figure 3. Supplemental Spending for Disasters (1976-1990) and Domestic Emergency Spending (1991-2000) Table A- 1. Emergency Spending in Supplemental Appropriations, 1991-2000 Table A-2. Emergency Spending in Regular Appropriations, 1991-2000 Table A-3. Number of Accounts That Contain Emergency Funding Provided in Supplemental Appropriations, 1991-2000 Table A-4. Number of Accounts That Contain Emergency Funding Provided in Regular Appropriations, 1991- 2000 Table A-5. Supplemental and Regular Appropriation Acts That Include Emergency Spending CBO estimates that the 1999 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act provides about $12.9 billion in emergency appropriations for fiscal year 1999 and nearly $2 billion in emergency funds for fiscal year 2000. Of the amount provided for 1999, about $9.3 billion is for defense programs and about $3.6 billion for nondefense programs.(D Most of the amount available for 2000 is for military pay and retirement. The act includes emergency appropriations for a variety of purposes. It provides funds for military operations in Kosovo and Southwest Asia, refugee relief in those and other regions, assistance to Jordan and Central America, domestic and international relief for natural disasters (principally the tornadoes in Oklahoma and Kansas and Hurricane Mitch in Central America), and for other purposes. Except for emergency spending for Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm (which was offset by foreign contributions), the 1999 act is the largest emergency supplemental enacted since the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 went into
