FY 2017 Omnibus Appropriations Bill

Click here for a printable PDF version. 

This week, Congress will consider the Fiscal Year 2017 Omnibus Appropriations Bill negotiated laboriously over many months by House and Senate leadership and by Republicans and Democrats on both Appropriations Committees.

The bill is expected to pass easily this week with support from Members of Congress from both parties.

The measure provides funding for 11 annual Appropriations bills through the end of the fiscal year, September 30, 2017. The total funding in the bill is $1.163 trillion, including $1.07 trillion for base discretionary funding subject to budget caps and a total of $93.5 billion for the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) budget that serves to evade the budget caps.

Pentagon portion of the bill:

The total funding for the Pentagon in FY 2017 is $598.5 billion, an increase of $25.7 billion from FY 2016.

That total includes the $593 billion in this bill — $516.1 billion in base discretionary funding and $76.6 billion in Overseas Contingency Operations – plus an additional $5.8 billion in supplementary Pentagon funding approved when Congress passed a Continuing Resolution in December 2016.
