      "summary": "On May 5, 2017, President Trump signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, into law (P.L. 115-31). The law sets funding for the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs (SFOPS) at $57.53 billion for the FY2017 full-year. This level represents an increase of 8.8% above the estimated FY2016 funding level, all due to a 40% increase in Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funds.\nMore than a year ago, on February 9, 2016, the Obama Administration submitted to Congress its original FY2017 budget request for SFOPS totaling $52.78 billion (-0.1% compared with the FY2016 estimate), including $37.89 billion for enduring (ongoing, regular or base) funds and $14.89 billion designated as OCO. Of the total request, $17.05 billion was for State Department Operations and related agencies (a 3.6% increase over FY2016 estimates); $35.74 billion was for Foreign Operations (-1.8% compared with the FY2016 estimates). \nOn June 29, 2016, the Senate Appropriations Committee introduced and reported Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2017 (S. 3117/S.Rept. 114-290). It would have provided a total of $52.24 billion, after rescissions and including OCO. This was $542.04 million (or 1%) below President Obama\u2019s request. For State Operations and related agencies, it would have provided $16.88 billion and for Foreign Operations, $35.52 billion. \nOn July 15, 2016, the House Appropriations Committee reported its Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2017 (H.R. 5912/H.Rept. 114-693). The measure would have provided $52.24 billion, including OCO. It was $546 million (or 1%) below President Obama\u2019s request, and about $4 million less than the Senate bill. Funding for State Operations and related agencies would have been $16.29 billion, nearly $600 million below the Senate funding level. The bill\u2019s Foreign Operations funding level of $35.95 billion was $432 million above the Senate-recommended level.\nOn September 29, 2016, President Obama signed into law (P.L. 114-223) a continuing resolution (CR, H.R. 5325) to extend funding the federal government, including the SFOPS appropriations, until December 9, 2016. \nOn November 10, 2016, the Obama Administration made a supplemental appropriations request for FY2017 activities and to address humanitarian needs related to ISIS, bringing the total FY2017 request to $58.71 billion.\nOn December 10, 2016, Congress passed and President Obama signed into law a second continuing resolution, the Further Continuing and Security Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017, P.L. 114-254 (H.R. 2028), Division A, to fund the federal government through April 28, 2017. Division B of that Act, the Security Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017, provided $4.3 billion in supplemental FY2017 funds for SFOPS counterterrorism activities. Together with the $53.23 billion provided in P.L. 115-31 (see above), the supplemental funding in P.L. 114-254 brings total enacted SFOPS funding for FY2017 to $57.53 billion, an 8.8% increase over the FY2016 SFOPS funding level. The increase is entirely due to a 40% total increase in OCO funding.\nThis is the final update of a report that provides an overview of FY2017 SFOPS enacted funding levels and compares them to the Obama Administration\u2019s request, House and Senate SFOPS proposals, and FY2016 estimated appropriations.",

Within Division B, Security Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017, Title II, Congress provided an additional $4.3 billion for SFOPS counterterrorism/counter, which included an additional $5.78 billion in SFOPS OCO accounts, primarily for counter-ISIS -ISIS and humanitarian aid activities, spread across more than a dozen OCO accounts. According to the Congressional Budget Office, SFOPS funding under P.L. 114-254 totals $57.026 million.\nThis report provides an overview of the FY2017 SFOPS request and compares it to FY2017 House and Senate SFOPS proposals and FY2016 estimated appropriations.
