Source: Compiled from various sources. For details, see CRS Report RL34048, Federal Research and
Development Funding: FY2008, coordinated by John F. Sargent.
Note: Agencies for which no appropriations act has been signed into law are funded under the continuing
resolution (H.J.Res. 69) at FY2007 levels.
a. This line consists of Title IV funding in the Department of Defense appropriations act and does not
include research, development, testing, and evaluation funds associated with the Defense Health
Program, the Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction Program, and the Mine Resistant Ambush
Protected Vehicle program. It also does not include R&D funds from supplemental or additional
appropriations acts.
b. This value is calculated by CRS based on the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2008 (Division
A of P.L. 110-116). Note that it does not include any funds that may be allocated to R&D from the
$5.2 billion that P.L. 110-92 appropriated for the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle program.
c. These values are calculated by CRS based on H.R. 3043, as passed by the House and Senate. This bill
was vetoed on November 13, 2007, and the veto was sustained.
d. This total does not include funds present in H.R. 3043, as passed by the House and Senate.
