Proposed discretionary budget authority would fall 10%\nfrom FY2006 levels to $19.7 billion ($21.5 billion outlays). Mandatory outlays would remain nearly\nsteady at $71 billion, and be affected by program changes in farm commodity subsidies and food\nstamps. Some foreign food assistance funds could be used to make purchases in foreign markets.\nMany congressionally earmarked research projects would be eliminated, and competitive peer-review\nfunded research would replace some formula funding. This report will not be updated, but will be\nfollowed by a CRS report on FY2007 agriculture appropriations. (1) \n \n \n \n 1. Also contributing to this report: CRS analysts\nGeoffrey S.
