Typically part of a two-step defense authorization and appropriation process, the bill primarily funds DOD activities except for military construction and family housing programs. It also funds certain activities of the intelligence community. Of the $886.3 billion in defense (function 050) discretionary funding in the fiscal year (FY) 2024 President's budget submission to Congress, $826.2 billion was requested for programs and activities under the purview of the FY2024 DOD appropriations bill. Nearly all funding in the bill is subject to the defense discretionary spending cap Congress established in the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA; P.L. 118-5), unless exempted (e.g., designated as being for emergency requirements). The House Appropriations Committee (HAC)-reported version of the bill (H.R. 4365; H.Rept. 118-121) would provide $0.3 billion (0.04%) more funding than requested, with no funds emergency-designated. The Senate Appropriations Committee (SAC)-reported version (S. 2587; S.Rept. 118-81) would provide $5.1 billion (0.6%) more funding than requested, including emergency-designated funding for DOD unfunded priorities (i.e., military programs, activities, or mission requirements that were not included in the President's annual budget request, but that the department would fund with additional appropriations if provided), among other items and activities. See Table 1. H.R. 4365 On June 15, 2023, the HAC adopted draft FY2024 subcommittee allocations, including for the Subcommittee on Defense (HAC-D). According to the committee, the total defense funding across the subcommittees was equal to the amount allowed under the FRA defense cap. (According to CBO, defense funding in reported versions of the FY2024 appropriations bills was less than the cap, as of July 27, because the committee had not reported the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024, which provides funding for FBI counterintelligence activities.) H.R. 4365 would provide $816.38 billion-$0.3 billion (0.04%) more than requested. In terms of major appropriation titles, the bill would provide more funding than requested for the Defense Health Program and other DOD programs (+3.0%); research, development, test, and evaluation (+1.4%); and operation Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN12234 CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
