FY2008 Emergency Request. With the FY2008 regular budget, the
Administration also presented Congress with an FY2008 GWOT emergency request.
The FY2008 GWOT request is not described as a supplemental by the
Administration, but designates the spending as emergency. It is unclear whether
Congress will consider this request as part of the FY2008 regular budget, or
separately as an emergency supplemental measure. The package includes a total of
$3.301 billion: $1.367 billion for foreign operations and $1.935 billion for State
Department operations. Foreign aid programs would receive $1.11 billion for Iraq
($772 million) and Afghanistan ($339 million) in ESF funds for reconstruction and
stability programs. Iraq would also receive $159 million in International Narcotics
Control and Law Enforcement funds for human rights, anti-corruption and rule of law
programs.
The total also includes a $35 million request to assist Iraqi refugees in
neighboring countries and conflict-affected populations in Iraq. Operating expenses
for USAID would total $61.8 million for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Iraq and Afghanistan Share of Total Aid Budget. Including both base
budgets and supplemental appropriations, the share of U.S. bilateral foreign
assistance going to Iraq and Afghanistan has increased sharply since FY2002.
Foreign aid to Afghanistan mushroomed from $590 million in FY2003 to $1.799
billion the next year. Assistance to Iraq consisted of small sums to support Iraqi
opposition groups in the early 2000s, but picked up precipitously in FY2004, and
then fell to $1.6 billion in FY2006 and roughly $4 billion in FY2007. Table 9 tracks
