      "title": "Appropriations for FY2004: Military Construction",
      "summary": "The military construction (MilCon) appropriations bill provides funding for (1) military\nconstruction\nprojects in the United States and overseas; (2) military family housing operations and construction;\n(3) U.S. contributions to the NATO Security Investment Program; and (4) the bulk of base\nrealignment and closure (BRAC)costs.\n \n The President forwarded his fiscal year 2004 budget request to the Congress on February 3,\n2003. The original military construction request of $9.0 billion was later increased to $9.2 billion\ndue to reprogramming from the defense appropriations bill ( H.R. 2658 ) and an\nAdministration request related to foreign currency fluctuations as calculated by the Congressional\nBudget Office.\n \n On June 17, 2003, the House Appropriations Committee reported a bill ( H.R. 2559 ) that recommends $9.2 billion in military construction appropriations. This is $41 million\nbelow the President\u2019s revised request and $1.5 billion below the FY2003 appropriation. The\nHouse\npassed the bill on June 26. The Senate Appropriations Committee marked up an original version of\nthe bill ( S. 1357 ) and reported it to the Senate on June 26. On July 10, the Senate began\nconsideration of  H.R. 2559 , substituting the text of  S. 1357 , and passed\nthe amended bill on July 11. The conference committee reported its bill on November 4, 2003.\n \n Authorization of military construction is included within the defense authorization bill. The\nHouse passed its version of the bill ( H.R. 1588 ) on May 22. The Senate substituted the\ntext of  S. 1050  for that of  H.R. 1588  and passed the amended bill on June\n4, 2003. The conference committee began meeting on July 22 and had not reported its bill as of this\nwriting. For a comprehensive report on defense authorization legislation, see  CRS Report RL31805 ,\n Authorization and Appropriations for FY2004: Defense , by Amy Belasco and Stephen\nDaggett.\n \n In late September, the President submitted to Congress an emergency supplemental\nappropriations request for Fiscal Year 2004 ( H.R. 3289 ) that included $412 million in\nfunding specific to military construction and unlimited authority to transfer unspecified additional\nfunds from the Iraqi Freedom Fund ($1.99 billion) to military construction and up to $500 million\nfrom other Department of Defense funds into a contingency construction account. The bill was\npassed by both chambers and was presented to the President on November 5. For more information\non the supplemental, see  CRS Report RL32090 ,  FY2004 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq,\nAfghanistan, and the Global War on Terrorism: Military Operations & Reconstruction\nAssistance ,\nby Stephen Daggett, Larry Nowels, Curt Tarnoff, and Rhoda Margesson.",
