ANNUAL REPORT ON ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMITTEE ON
APPROPRIATIONS DURING THE 116TH CONGRESS
JANUARY 2, 2021.—Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State
of the Union and ordered to be printed
Mrs. LOWEY, from the Committee on Appropriations,
submitted the following
A N N U A L
R E P O R T
The Committee on Appropriations is the principal arm through
which the House of Representatives exercises its constitutional re-
sponsibility to provide funds for the operations of the various ac-
tivities of the Federal Government. Clause 1(b) of rule X of the
House provides that the committee shall have jurisdiction over the
‘‘Appropriation of the revenue for the support of the Government.’’
This responsibility has basically been vested in the committee since
1865.
The committee has been established by the House with a mem-
bership of 53 during the 116th Congress. With relatively few excep-
tions, the responsibilities of the committee are carried out through
its 12 subcommittees which in turn report to the full committee.
The subcommittees are organized essentially on a functional basis
with recognition of the existing structure of the Departments and
agencies within the executive branch. (The jurisdictional assign-
ments of subcommittees during the 116th Congress are displayed
in Appendix C).
SUMMARY OF APPROPRIATIONS ACTIONS
116TH CONGRESS
The House Committee on Appropriations implemented an ambi-
tious agenda during the 116th Congress. On January 3, the Com-
mittee immediately brought H.R. 21 to the House Floor to remedy
the lapse in government funding that began on December 22, 2018.
The House adopted the bill 241–190; however, the Senate did not

consider it. The Committee brought an additional 10 bills to the
House Floor including short-term continuing resolutions, individual
appropriations bills, and full year appropriations packages. The
House adopted all but one which failed to meet the two-thirds level
for a suspension bill. Then, on January 25, the Senate amended
H.J. Res. 28, which the House had passed 2 days prior in an effort
to provide short-term funding through February 28. The amended
bill passed the House by voice vote and was enacted into law (P.L.
116–5) that same day. This resolution restored government funding
through February 15, 2019 and provided time necessary to com-
plete the unfinished work on the seven remaining bills for fiscal
year 2019. Enactment of the short-term continuing resolution also
provided time for the Committee to formally organize on January
30, 2019, a meeting presided over by the first female Chair in the
Committee’s history, Chairwoman Nita M. Lowey. Later that day
the Committee hosted a formal meeting of the House and Senate
conferees on the Homeland Security bill (H.J. Res. 31), and 2 weeks
later, the Committee completed the fiscal year 2019 appropriations
bills. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019, (H.J. Res. 31)
was enacted as Public Law 116–6 on February 15, 2019, the day
after the House approved the measure by a vote of 300–128.
The contents of Public Law 116–6 are as follows:
• Division A—Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
Act, 2019;
• Division B—Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug
Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019;
• Division C—Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2019;
• Division D—Financial Services and General Government Ap-
propriations Act, 2019;
• Division E—Department of the Interior, Environment, and Re-
lated Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019;
• Division F—Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Re-
lated Programs Appropriations Act, 2019; and
• Division G—Transportation, Housing and Urban Development,
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019.
Enactment of Public Law 116–6 cleared the way for the Com-
mittee to initiate work on fiscal year 2020 bills. The Committee
held its first subcommittee markup on April 30, 2019 for the fiscal
year 2020 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Re-
lated Agencies bill leading to the full committee reporting that bill
to the full House on May 8, 2019. Within 5 weeks, the Committee
reported out all fiscal year 2020 appropriations bills with the last
bills approved on June 11, 2019.
The Labor, Health and Human Services, Education bill was then
combined with the Defense, State and Foreign Operations, and the
Energy & Water bills, and presented together to the House as the
first of two consolidated appropriations packages (H.R. 2740). The
House passed this package of four appropriations bills on June 19,
2019, by a vote of 226–203. A second consolidated package (H.R.
3055) containing five bills (Commerce, Justice, Science; Agriculture;
Interior; Military Construction and Veterans Affairs; Transpor-
tation, Housing, and Urban Development) passed the House on
June 25, 2019, by a vote of 227–194. The next day the House
passed the Financial Services and General Government Appropria-

tions Act, 2020, by a vote of 224–196. In total 10 fiscal year 2020
appropriations bills were considered and passed on the House
Floor.
On September 19, 2019, the House passed a continuing resolu-
tion (H.R. 4378) to maintain government funding through Novem-
ber 21, 2019. It was signed into law on September 27, 2019 (P.L.
116–59). A second continuing resolution (H.R. 3055) was adopted
by the House on November 19, 2019 and extended government
funding until December 20, 2019. It was signed into law on Novem-
ber 21, 2019 (P.L. 116–69).
Final action on the fiscal year 2020 appropriations bills occurred
in December 2019, with enactment of the Consolidated Appropria-
tions Act, 2020 (H.R. 1158) and the Further Consolidated Appro-
priations Act, 2020 (H.R. 1865). These bills contained all 12 final
appropriations bills and moved in tandem through the chambers.
The House debated and passed both bills on December 17, 2019, by
a vote of 280–138 and 297–120, respectively. The next day, the
Senate approved the packages by votes of 81–11 and 71–23, respec-
tively. The President signed both Acts into law on December 20,
2019. (P.L. 116–93 and P.L. 116–94, respectively).
The contents of Public Law 116–93 are as follows:
• Division A—Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2020;
• Division B—Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2020;
• Division C—Financial Services and General Government Ap-
propriations Act, 2020; and
• Division D—Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
Act, 2020.
The contents of Public Law 116–94 are as follows:
• Division A—Departments of Labor, Health and Human Serv-
ices, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act,
2020;
• Division B—Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug
Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020;
• Division C—Energy and Water Development and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020;
• Division D—Department of the Interior, Environment, and Re-
lated Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020;
• Division E—Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2020;
• Division F—Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Re-
lated Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020;
• Division G—Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Re-
lated Programs Appropriations Act, 2020; and
• Division H—Transportation, Housing and Urban Development,
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020.
With the passage of H.R. 1158 and H.R. 1865, the Congress com-
pleted final action on 19 regular appropriations bills, 3 continuing
resolutions and 2 supplemental appropriation bills in the first ses-
sion of the 116th Congress.
During the second session, the Committee’s work followed a simi-
larly ambitious agenda under the unprecedented circumstances and
schedule dictated by the COVID–19 pandemic. In January, the
Committee introduced a supplemental appropriations bill to ad-
dress the needs resulting from the Puerto Rico earthquake (H.R.
5687). The House adopted the bill by a vote of 237–161 on Feb-

ruary 7, 2020. That same week the Committee held its first budget
and oversight hearings for the fiscal year 2021 process. The Com-
mittee held more than 75 hearings before curtailing in-person ac-
tivity in March. The Committee adjusted to incorporate hybrid and
virtual hearing settings for the first time ever. The Subcommittee
on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs held the first hybrid
hearing on Thursday, May 28, 2020 to discuss coronavirus response
at the Department of Veterans Affairs. The first fully virtual hear-
ing was held by the full Committee on June 22, 2020 to discuss
Member priorities for the fiscal year 2021 bills.
At the same time, much of the Committee’s work was focused on
responding to the COVID–19 pandemic. Over 3 months, five
supplementals were introduced and passed the House, and four
bills have been enacted into law:
• Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appro-
priations Act, 2020. (H.R. 6074/P.L. 116–123)
• Second Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2020. (H.R. 6201/P.L. 116–127)
• Emergency Appropriations for Coronavirus Health Response
and Agency Operations. (H.R. 748/P.L. 116–136)
• Additional Emergency Appropriations for Coronavirus Re-
sponse. (H.R. 266/P.L. 116–139); and
• H.R 6800—The Heroes Act. (House passed May 15, 2020; 208–
199)
With in-person activities reduced to a minimum, the Committee
developed an aggressive schedule to hold all subcommittee and full
Committee markups and Floor activity in July 2020. For the first
time in the Committee’s history, all markups were conducted in a
hybrid setting with several Members participating remotely. With-
in a span of 2 weeks, the Committee completed work on all 12 ap-
propriations bills, beginning with the Subcommittee markup of
State and Foreign Operations bill on July 6, 2020 and ending with
reporting of the last two bills, Financial Services and Homeland Se-
curity, on July 15, 2020 by the full Committee. The Committee
brought four bills to the Floor in a first consolidated package (H.R.
7608) which was debated over 2 days and passed the House on July
24, 2020 by a vote of 224–189.
The following week, a second consolidated package containing six
bills was considered on the Floor (H.R. 7617) and debated over 2
days. H.R. 7617 passed the House on July 31, 2020 by a vote of
217–197. In doing so the House cleared a total of 10 regular appro-
priations bills matching the same total from the year before.
On September 22, 2020, the House passed a continuing resolu-
tion (H.R. 8337) to extend government funding through December
11, 2020. It was signed into law on October 1, 2020 (P.L. 116–159).
A second continuing resolution (H.R. 8900) was adopted by the
House on December 9, 2020 to extended government funding by an-
other week until December 18, 2020. It was signed into law on De-
cember 11, 2020 (P.L. 116–215). Two additional resolutions ex-
tended government funding through December 21, 2020 (H.J. Res.
107/P.L. 116–225 and H.J. Res. 110/P.L. 116–226).
To close out fiscal year 2021, the Committee consolidated the 12
appropriations bills into one final Omnibus package to be consid-
ered as an amendment between the two Houses (H.R. 133). This
package also contained additional supplemental appropriations for

COVID–19 relief in a separate division (Division M). The House
passed H.R. 133 on December 21, 2020 with two recorded votes.
The first vote adopted four divisions [div. B (CJS), div. C (Defense),
div. E (FSGG), and div. F (Homeland) by a vote of 327–85. The sec-
ond vote adopted all other divisions contained in the package by a
tally of 359–53. In addition, the House adopted a special rule which
included a 7-day continuing resolution (P.L. 116–246) to allow gov-
ernment operations to be maintained while H.R. 133 was processed
and sent to the President for signature. The President signed on
December 27, 2020.
The contents of H.R. 133 related to appropriations are as follows:
• Division A—Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug
Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021
• Division B—Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2021
• Division C—Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2021
• Division D—Energy and Water Development and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021
• Division E—Financial Services and General Government Ap-
propriations Act, 2021
• Division F—Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
Act, 2021
• Division G—Department of the Interior, Environment, and Re-
lated Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021
• Division H—Departments of Labor, Health and Human Serv-
ices, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act,
2021
• Division I—Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2021
• Division J—Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Re-
lated Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021
• Division K—Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Re-
lated Programs Appropriations Act, 2021
• Division L—Transportation, Housing and Urban Development,
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021
• Division M—Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2021
During consideration of appropriations bills during the 116th
Congress, the Committee continued to place a high priority on hav-
ing a Member-driven process through ‘‘regular order,’’ so that Mem-
bers of the House could be assured of an open, transparent, and
fair appropriations process. All Members of the House were invited
to submit their priorities to every subcommittee before bills were
drafted. Bills were considered in open subcommittee and committee
markups, with information on those bills publicly available before
markups. Every effort was made to ensure that any Member of the
House who had an amendment that complied with House Rules
would have the opportunity to have that amendment considered on
the House floor. This commitment to providing opportunities for all
Members to have input into the bills helped to ensure support for
the bills throughout the legislative process.
The Committee placed a high priority on conducting detailed re-
views of agency budgets and exercising comprehensive oversight on
the programs under its jurisdiction. Therefore, an aggressive sched-
ule of budget and oversight hearings was developed for the 116th
Congress. The Committee conducted 72 hearings, receiving testi-

mony from 1,638 witnesses during the first session, and conducted
83 hearings with 425 witnesses during the second session. These
totals include, for the first time ever, 4 hybrid hearings and 2 fully
virtual hearings. These hearings informed and guided the Com-
mittee in the development of the fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year
2021 appropriations bills.
In total, 31 regular appropriations bills were enacted in the
116th Congress (7 for fiscal year 2019; 12 for fiscal year 2020; 12
for fiscal year 2021), in addition to 7 supplementals and 8 con-
tinuing resolutions.
The charts and tables following this summary display the history
of fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021 appropriations, as well as
budget comparisons for the fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021
funding levels.

Budget Act of 2019 (Public Law 116–37), after the President’s Request was transmitted. No budget amendment for such funding was transmitted.

INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED BY THE COMMITTEE
(116TH CONGRESS)
(ANNUAL)
The Appropriations Committee is dedicated to strong and active
oversight of Departmental programs and activities and undertakes
investigations as a routine part of the appropriations process. In
addition, the Committee uses its own Survey and Investigations
(S&I) group to pursue program issues in depth, including those
specific to an agency or Department and those that are crosscutting
and have government-wide impacts. As of the end of 116th Con-
gress, S&I investigative staff have completed or have under active
review 14 separate studies or investigations.
The various subcommittees, in letters signed by the chairman
and ranking minority member (known as ‘‘directives’’), originate re-
quests for investigations; the request letters must be approved and
signed by the chairwoman and ranking minority member of the full
committee before an investigation is pursued.
When the Committee directs S&I to conduct an investigation, the
Director assembles a team of expert investigators. Competence and
objectivity are the criteria for selection of individual investigators.
Investigative teams include a mix of permanent staff, independent
contractors, and personnel on detail from Federal agencies.
Directives generally call for investigations to be completed within
3 to 6 months, although occasionally studies are of longer duration.
Some probes include interim memos and briefings to subcommittee
staff in addition to a final report. The timing, format, and fre-
quency of reports are tailored to the needs of the subcommittees.
A catalog of all the investigations conducted from January 2019
through December 2020, listed by the requesting subcommittee, fol-

With respect to the above listing, it should be noted that since
studies originate with the subcommittees, any information devel-
oped during the course of an investigation is reported to the sub-
committee which requested such study or examination as well as
the chairwoman and ranking minority member of the full com-
mittee. This information may be released for publication only when
the subcommittee so determines as provided by section 8 of the
Committee’s rules.
SUPPORT PROVIDED BY THE GAO
In addition to the information made available to the Committee
through its Surveys and Investigations Staff, the Committee also
utilizes the resources of the Government Accountability Office. The
Committee receives a copy of every GAO report addressed to the
Congress. In recent years the scope of the GAO auditing and re-
view capability has been enlarged to include management surveys.
GAO has extracted from those reports and compiled in separate
volumes a list of so-called ‘‘significant audit findings’’ for special
use by the Committee staff in the annual appropriations hearings.
These findings relate to matters which are felt to require corrective
action by the Committee’s efforts, through legislation, or through
administrative efforts. This compilation is designed to identify
problem areas in an individual agency which might have applica-
bility to other organizations.
Additionally, the Committee frequently calls upon GAO to make
special studies and investigations. A listing of some reports and
