The full President’s Budget Proposal for FY 2018 is expected to be released on Tuesday, May 23. Earlier this year, the Administration released the America First “skinny” budget proposal as well as supplemental appropriations request for FY 2017.
Earlier this month, Congress passed the FY 2017 omnibus appropriations measure, which completed the FY 2017 appropriations cycle. The omnibus appropriations bill which provides fresh spending instructions for nearly every corner of the federal government. It formally appropriates more than $1 trillion in discretionary spending for FY 2017, in keeping with the spending limits agreed to last year. Additionally, appropriators absolutely rejected the Trump Administration’s supplemental FY 2017 request for $18 billion in cuts to domestic discretionary programs.
Office of Federal Relations will continue to monitor and report on developments on the budget front.
