1. Includes $5.5 billion of $7.1
billion appropriated in DOD's FY2003 Appropriations Act (P.L. 107-48) for
the global war on terror that CRS cannot allocate and DOD cannot
track. 2. Of the $25 billion provided in
Title IX of the FY2005 DOD appropriation bill, CRS includes $2 billion in
FY2004 when it was obligated and the remaining $23 billion in FY2005.
Because Congress made the funds available in FY2004, CBO and OMB score all
$25 billion in FY2004. 3. Includes funds
in the FY2007 Supplemental (H.R. 2206/P.L. 110-28), Title IX, P.L. 109-289,
FY2007 DOD Appropriations Act (H.R. 5631) designated for war and funds for
other agencies in H.J. Res 20, P.L. 110-50, the year-long Continuing
Resolution. VA Medical estimates reflect VA FY2008 budget materials and CRS
estimates. Amounts for foreign and diplomatic operations reflects State
Department figures. Source: “The Cost of
