COMPARISON OF SFC AND HAC BUDGETS

A WORD ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT: This is an internal Obenshain office working paper we have chosen to share for informational purposes. It is by nomeans official, is based on early available data from subcommittee reports, and is subject to change. In all cases, questions should be resolved by meansof actual documentation from the Senate Finance Committee and the House Appropriations Committee respectively. As the two chambers frequently fund identical priorities in slightly different manners, an attempt has been made to "conform" the line items to facilitate direct comparison, though this is aninexact science at best. Sometimes, moreover, funding falls under different subcommittees in the two chambers; generally speaking, the Senate model has been employed here.
