Historical and Planned Future Budgets for the Missile Defense Agencys Ground-Based Midcourse Defense Program 1 (July 21, 2014)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo1769 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE Douglas W. Elmendorf, Director U.S. Congress Washington, DC 20515 July 21, 2014 Honorable Jeff Sessions Ranking Member Subcommittee on Strategic Forces Committee on Armed Services United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Re: Historical and Planned Future Budgets for the Missile Defense Agency's Ground-Based Midcourse Defense Program Dear Senator: This letter responds to your request that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analyze the historical and planned future budgets for the Missile Defense Agency's Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) program. As shown in the attached table, CBO has compiled the amounts of funding that were provided for fiscal years 2008 through 2014 and the Defense Department's planned budgets for fiscal years 2015 through 2019. All of the budget numbers are based on Department of Defense budget justification documents and are given in nominal dollars (that is, they have not been adjusted for inflation). To illustrate how budgets for specific activities within the GMD program have changed, CBO has broken out the GMD budget by appropriation title and by project. The relevant appropriation titles are: Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E); Operation and Maintenance (O&M); and Procurement. Initially, the full GMD program was funded entirely with RDT&E funds; at Congressional direction, starting in 2014, some GMD activities have been moved to the O&M and Procurement accounts. The individual projects within the RDT&E category have changed in both name and project content over the years. To better display trends in budgets for specific activities over time, CBO used the list of projects in the Fiscal Year 2015 budget for the attached table and presented the budget for projects in earlier years using those categories. If you would like further details, we would be pleased to provide them. The staff contact in CBO's National Security Division is Michael Bennett, who can be reached at (202) 226-2900. Sincerely, Douglas W. Elmendorf www.cbo.gov
