P.L. 106-113 appropriated $39.6 billion for these agencies for\nFY2000. President Clinton's FY2001 budget requested $39.6 billion for these agencies. On June\n14, 2000, the House Appropriations Committee approved its version of the CJS appropriations bill\n( H.R. 4690 ) It recommended funding totaling $37.4 billion--$2.2 billion below the\nPresident's request and $2.2 billion below the FY2000 appropriation. The House-passed bill on June\n26, approved the same overall funding total recommended by the Committee. On July 18, 2000, the\nSenate Appropriations Committee approved total funding of $36.7 billion--about $700 million\nbelow the House version and $2.9 billion below both the President's request and the actual FY2000\nappropriation. On October 27, 2000, Congress approved total funding of $40.0 billion--about $400\nmillion above both President's request and the total enacted for FY2000 ( H.R. 5548 ). \nThe measure was signed into law by the President on December 21, 2000 (P.L. Law 106-553). \n The major CJS appropriations issues and concerns that received attention in both the Senate\nand the House include the following.

Department of Commerce: the progress made\nin\nstreamlining and downsizing Department programs; implementation of the decennial census\nincluding followup operations; federal financial support of industrial technology development\nprograms; monitoring foreign compliance with trade agreements and U.S. trade laws; and\nimplementing new White House environmental initiatives at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\nAdministration. Department of State: improving embassy security through a doubling\nof funding\nas well as a request for an advance appropriation to cover the period FY2002 to FY2005. The\nJudiciary : whether the salaries of judges and justices should receive a cost-of-living increase\nand\nwhether a statutory ban on judges receiving honoraria should be lifted. Other Related\nAgencies: \n adequacy of funding levels for the Legal Services Corporation, Small Business\nAdministration, and \nthe Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": false, "formats": [ { "format": "HTML", "encoding": "utf-8", "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/RL30509", "sha1": "f1bfe60c82a75343b3fed7f7cd7e482a533aef53", "filename": "files/20010126_RL30509_f1bfe60c82a75343b3fed7f7cd7e482a533aef53.html", "images": null }, { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/RL30509", "sha1": "0e041b3fdee8ecf7ad3f6a56d31c5a99d661264c", "filename": "files/20010126_RL30509_0e041b3fdee8ecf7ad3f6a56d31c5a99d661264c.pdf", "images": null } ], "topics": [] }, { "source": "University of North Texas Libraries Government Documents Department", "sourceLink": "https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs1215/", "id": "RL30509 2000-09-15", "date": "2000-09-15", "retrieved": "2005-06-11T09:17:57", "title": "Appropriations for FY2001: Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies", "summary": "Appropriations are one part of a complex federal budget process that includes budget resolutions, appropriations (regular, supplemental, and continuing) bills, rescissions, and budget reconciliation bills.
