House Expected to Approve Budget Enforcement Resolution Today
The House is expected to approve a budget enforcement resolution today to set limits for FY2011 discretionary spending in lieu of the 5-year budget resolution that is normally passed.
The budget enforcement resolution will cut $7 billion from the President’s request of $1.121 trillion for discretionary spending according to Congress Daily (subscription required). No word yet on where the $7 billion in reductions will be taken. About 63 percent of discretionary spending is for security (Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security). DOD’s request for unclassified space programs is $9.9 billion. NASA’s FY2011 budget request is $19 billion, and NOAA’s request for the National Environmental Satellite, Data, & Information Service (NESDIS) is $2.2 billion.
