The proposal included $41.86 billion for the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs (SFOPS). Of that amount, $13.26 billion was for State Department operations, international broadcasting, and related agencies, and $28.60 billion for foreign operations. With the enactment of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (BBA; P.L. 115-123, February 9, 2018), which raised discretionary spending limits set by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA; P.L. 112-25), the Administration\u2019s FY2019 foreign affairs funding request was entirely within enduring (base) funds; no Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funding was included the SFOPS request for the first time since FY2012. \nThe FY2019 request would have represented a 23.3% decrease in SFOPS funding compared with FY2018 actual funding levels. The proposed State and related agency funding would have been 18.7% below FY2018 funding and the foreign operations funding would have been reduced by 25.2%. In the State and related programs budget, cuts were proposed for several accounts, including the diplomatic security accounts, contributions to international organizations, and contributions for international peacekeeping activities. In the foreign operations budget, cuts would have been applied across all accounts, with disproportionately large cuts proposed for humanitarian assistance, multilateral assistance, and funding for bilateral development programs focused on agriculture, education, and democracy promotion.\nBoth the House and Senate appropriations committees approved FY2019 SFOPS bills that included funding at higher levels than the Administration requested and closer to FY2018 funding. H.R. 6385, approved by the House appropriations committee on June 20, 2018, would have funded SFOPS accounts at $54.177 billion. S. 3108, approved by the Senate appropriations committee on June 21, 2018, would have provided $54.602 billion for SFOPS accounts. \nFY2019 began with seven appropriations bills, including SFOPS, unfinished. Congress and the President approved continuing resolutions to fund the affected federal agencies through December 21, 2018 at the FY2018 level (P.L. 115-245, Division C and P.L. 115-298). After December 21, a partial shutdown of the government, including SFOPS funded agencies, occurred. On January 25, 2019, an agreement was reached to continue funding for SFOPS and other appropriations that had lapsed through February 15, at the FY2018 level (P.L. 116-5). On February 14, Congress passed, and the President later signed into law, a full year omnibus appropriation that included SFOPS funding (P.L. 116-6, Division F). \nP.L. 116-6 included a total of $54.377 billion for SFOPS accounts in FY2019, a 0.3% decrease from the FY2018 funding level and about 30% more than the Administration\u2019s request. Of that enacted total, $8.0 billion, or 14.7%, was designated as OCO.\nThis report provides an account-by-account comparison of the FY2019 SFOPS request, House and Senate SFOPS legislation and the final FY2019 SFOPS appropriation to FY2018 funding in Appendix A. The International Affairs (function 150) budget in Appendix B provides a similar comparison. \nThis report will not be further updated unless there is further congressional activity on FY2019 appropriations.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": true, "formats": [ { "format": "HTML", "encoding": "utf-8", "url": "https://www.crs.gov/Reports/R45168", "sha1": "3b0e5af2e84001ff2e44452d1ddd9a0ef62f2117", "filename": "files/20190325_R45168_3b0e5af2e84001ff2e44452d1ddd9a0ef62f2117.html", "images": { "/products/Getimages/?directory=R/html/R45168_files&id=/0.png": "files/20190325_R45168_images_d89f71d50660f5add908b8502eeaa35226cb3e32.png", "/products/Getimages/?directory=R/html/R45168_files&id=/1.png": "files/20190325_R45168_images_2b871a6de03235082dadcc6a5b3c640925b589a5.png", "/products/Getimages/?directory=R/html/R45168_files&id=/2.png": "files/20190325_R45168_images_cc41e5047a87b24f9916ccbd8f7e2360eb7d98d8.png" } }, { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "https://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/R45168", "sha1": "663419dc8529cd48cccfbf582869155ac154a046", "filename": "files/20190325_R45168_663419dc8529cd48cccfbf582869155ac154a046.pdf", "images": {} } ], "topics": [ { "source": "IBCList", "id": 4787, "name": "State Department & International Organizations" }, { "source": "IBCList", "id": 4896, "name": "State & Foreign Operations Appropriations" } ] }, { "source_dir": "crsreports.congress.gov", "title": "Department of State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs: FY2019 Budget and Appropriations", "retrieved": "2020-09-05T09:15:11.467681", "id": "R45168_10_2019-03-12", "formats": [ { "filename": "files/2019-03-12_R45168_6148079752d9c69bb17be6d40387381ea99b8090.pdf", "format": "PDF", "url": "https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R45168/10", "sha1": "6148079752d9c69bb17be6d40387381ea99b8090" }, { "format": "HTML", "filename": "files/2019-03-12_R45168_6148079752d9c69bb17be6d40387381ea99b8090.html" } ], "date": "2019-03-12", "summary": null, "source": "CRSReports.Congress.gov", "typeId": "R", "active": true, "sourceLink": "https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/details?prodcode=R45168", "type": "CRS Report" }, { "source": "EveryCRSReport.com", "id": 585908, "date": "2018-10-01", "retrieved": "2018-10-04T13:52:42.332583", "title": "Department of State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs: FY2019 Budget and Appropriations", "summary": "The Trump Administration submitted to Congress its FY2019 budget request on February 12, 2018.
