FY2006 and FY2007 Appropriations
and FY2008 Request
Summary
State Department funding, formerly in the House Science, State, Justice,
Commerce (SSJC) Appropriations Subcommittee, is now aligned in both the House
and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on State-Foreign Operations. In addition
to passing annual appropriations, foreign relations authorization legislation is^th
required authorizing the Department of State to spend its appropriations. The 110
Congress is expected also to work on foreign authorization legislation this year.
The President sent his FY2008 budget to Congress on February 5, 2007.
Included was the Department of State FY2008 budget request for $10,013.8 million
— 4.3% below the FY2006 level of $10,467.9 million, including rescissions and
supplementals, but 10.5% above the FY2007 estimate of $8,964.1 million. The
international broadcasting FY2008 budget request totals $668.2 million — a 1.7%
decline from the FY2006 level, including rescissions and supplementals, but a 3.8%
increase over the FY2007 estimate of $644 million.
Along with the regular budget request, the Administration is requesting two
emergency supplementals: an FY2007 supplemental request including $1,168
million for State and $10 million for international broadcasting and an FY2008
emergency funding request of $1,934.6 million for the Department of State. Both
supplementals are largely for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In March, 2007, both the House and the Senate passed separate versions of the
FY2007 supplemental funding (H.R. 1591, H. Rept 110-60 and S. Rept 110-37)
including more than $1,168.0 million dollars for the Department of State operations^th^th
and $10 million for international broadcasting. On April 25 and 26, Congress
passed H.R. 1591, including $1,265.2 million for State Dept operations in Iraq and
$10.0 million for international broadcasting. The President vetoed the supplemental
on May 1^st. Congress was unable to override the veto.
For FY2007, the President sent his budget request to Congress on February 6,
2006, seeking $9,502.4 million for the Department of State and $671.9 million for
international broadcasting. The House passed its bill (H.R. 5672) on June 29, 2006.
The Senate did not pass its bill (H.R. 5522). After several continuing resolutions, the
110^th Congress enacted appropriations by passing the Revised Continuing
Appropriations Resolution, FY2007 (H.J.Res. 20). It was signed into law (P.L. 110-

5) on February 15, 2007.

In January 2006, Secretary of State Rice presented her “Transformational
Diplomacy” vision of the way the State Department will conduct foreign policy.
Among other things, decisions have been made to reposition more than 200 jobs
primarily from Europe and Washington, DC, to more challenging locations
worldwide.

State Department and Related Agencies:
FY2006 and FY2007 Appropriations and
FY2008 Request
Background
Budgets for the Department of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors
(BBG), as well as U.S. contributions to United Nations (U.N.) International
Organizations, and U.N. Peacekeeping, are in the State, Foreign Operations
Appropriations in both the House and Senate.¹ Intertwined with the annual
appropriations process is the biannual Foreign Relations Authorization that, by law,
Congress must pass prior to the State Department’s expenditure of its appropriations.
The Administration sent its FY2008 budget request to Congress on February 5,

2007. The requested funding level for the Department of State is $10,013.8 million,

representing a 10.5% increase over the FY2007 estimate, but a decline of 4.3% as
compared with the FY2006 actual appropriation (the most recent enacted
appropriation for the Department of State), including rescissions and supplementals.
For international broadcasting, the FY2008 request of $668.2 million represents a

3.8% increase over the FY2007 estimate, but a 1.7% decline from the FY2006 level,

including rescissions and supplementals.
Along with the FY2008 budget request, the White House sent to Congress two
supplemental funding requests — one for FY2007 amounting to $1,168 million for
State and $10 million for international broadcasting; another for FY2008 amounting
to $1,934.6 million for the Department of State. Both requests are primarily for U.S.
operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The House passed its supplemental emergency funding bill (H.R. 1591, H.Rept.
110-60) on March 23, 2007. It contains $1.3 billion for the Department of State’s
Iraq operations, security, exchanges and international peacekeeping and $10 million
for international broadcasting. The Senate passed its version of H.R. 1591 (S.Rept.
110-37) on March 29, 2007. The Senate bill includes $1.1 billion for State
Department operations in Iraq, security, exchanges, international organizations and
peacekeeping. Like the House bill, the Senate also provides $10 million for
international broadcasting. The House and Senate passed the conference report
(H.Rept. 110-107) on April 25^th and 26^th, respectively. The President vetoed the
supplemental on May 1^st. Congress was unable to override the veto.

¹ In the 109^th Congress, the Department of State appropriations were within the Science,
State, Justice, Commerce (SSJC) Appropriations.

In February 2006, the President sent to Congress his FY2007 budget request
totaling $9,502.4 million for State and $671.9 million for international broadcasting.
A week after, he sent two FY2006 supplemental requests to Congress with more than
$1,702 million for the Department of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors.
The 109^th Congress passed $1,737.7 million in supplemental funding for the
Department of State and international broadcasting, but did not enact regular
appropriations for State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors. The President
signed the supplemental measure into law (P.L. 109-234) on June 15, 2006.
Rather than enact regular appropriations, the 109^th Congress passed a series of
continuing resolutions (CR) with funding based on the lesser of either the FY2006
amount or the House-passed or Senate-passed FY2007 levels. The last CR extended
funding through February 15, 2007. The 110^th Congress passed the FY2007
appropriation (H.J.Res. 20) and it was signed into law (P.L. 110-5) February 15,

2007.

Table 1 provides regular and supplemental State Department and related
agencies’ appropriations for FY2005, FY2006 (including the FY2006 Emergency
Supplemental), FY2007 estimates, and the FY2008 request. Both the FY2007 and
FY2008 supplemental requests are included, as well.
Transformational Diplomacy
On January 18, 2006, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced her vision
for U.S. diplomacy in the 21^st Century. She said that, to match President Bush’s bold
mission of “supporting democracy around the world with the ultimate goal of ending
tyranny in our world,” the United States needs “an equally bold diplomacy that not
only reports about the world as it is, but seeks to change the world itself.”² The
Secretary referred to this as “transformational diplomacy.” Specific aspects of
Secretary Rice’s Transformational Diplomacy include:
^!Global repositioning — Beginning in FY2006 and continuing
through FY2007, the Department of State has decided on more than

200 positions to be moved largely from Europe and Washington,

DC, to critical areas in Africa, South Asia, East Asia, the Middle
East and elsewhere in FY2007. Additional jobs will be targeted by
the summer.
^!Regional focus — The Department is creating regional public
diplomacy centers in Europe and the Middle East, as well as regional
centers for information technology to perform management support
activities such as human resources or financial management.
^!Localization — American Presence Posts (APP) will be operated by
one diplomat working away from the embassy in key population

centers of a country; Virtual Presence Posts (VPP) will provide an
Internet site enabling millions of local citizens, particularly young
people, to interact with embassy personnel. IT Centralization will
provide the State Department workforce with real-time and cutting-
edge information whether at their desks or traveling. Creative use
of the Internet will enhance America’s presence through the Internet
interactive online discussions such as Café USA/Seoul.
^!Plans for new skills challenges include enhanced training for
technology and languages; multi-region expertise requiring
diplomats to be experts in at least two regions and fluent in two
languages; post assignments criteria that diplomats must serve in at
least one of the more challenging posts; hands on practice for
diplomats to be more involved in helping foreign citizens, promoting
democracy, running programs, starting businesses, improving
healthcare, and reforming education, and public diplomacy to be
recognized as an important part of every diplomat’s job.
^!Empowerment of diplomats to work with other federal agencies —
especially with the military.
Within the Department of State’s FY2008 budget, the Administration is
requesting $124.8 million for Transformational Diplomacy. Included is $39.9
million for repositioning of jobs, $20.8 million for language, public diplomacy, and
technology training, $34.5 million for Foreign Service modernization, and $15
million for public diplomacy. The FY2007 budget request included $102.8 million
for Transformational Diplomacy.
The FY2007 and FY2008 Supplemental Requests
Currently, the U.S. Embassy in Iraq has over 1,000 American and locally
engaged staff representing about 12 agencies. 156 U.S. direct hires and 155 locally
engaged staff represent the Department of State (DOS) in the U.S. Mission. The bulk
of the FY2007 and FY2008 supplemental requests would fund State Department
operations in Iraq. Of a total FY2007 State Department appropriation supplemental
request of $1,168 million, $823.9 million would fund U.S. operations, security, and
mission in Iraq. Other supplemental funding would include $21.9 million for public
diplomacy to combat violent extremism in Muslim populations and diplomacy efforts
in the Sudan; $67.2 million for security upgrades in Afghanistan and Sudan; $35
million for the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction; $20 million for
educational and cultural exchange programs to combat violent extremism; and $200
million for unforeseen U.N. international peacekeeping activities. Additionally,
$71.5 million for migration and refugee assistance, and $30 million for emergency
migration and refugee assistance are in the request. Also, the Administration is
requesting $10 million for the Broadcasting Board of Governors to expand Arabic
language broadcasting in 22 countries on Alhurra Television.

The House passed its supplemental emergency funding bill (H.R. 1591, H.Rept.
110-60) on March 23, 2007. It contains $1.3 billion for the Department of States Iraq
operations, security, exchanges and international peacekeeping and $10 million for
international broadcasting. The Senate passed its version of H.R. 1591 (S.Rept. 110-
37) on March 29, 2007. The Senate bill includes $1.1 billion for State Department
operations in Iraq, security, exchanges, international organizations and international
peacekeeping. Like the House bill, the Senate bill also provides $10 million for
international broadcasting. The House and Senate passed the conference report
(H.Rept. 110-107) on April 25^th and 26^th, respectively. The President vetoed the
supplemental on May 1^st. Congress was unable to override the veto. (For more
details on the FY2007 emergency supplemental, see CRS Report RL33900, FY2007
Supplemental Appropriations for Defense, Foreign Affairs, and Other Purposes by
Stephen Daggett, Amy Belasco, Pat Towell, Susan B. Epstein, Connie Veillette, Curt
Tarnoff, Rhoda Margesson, and Bart Elias.)
Of the $1,934.6 million FY2008 emergency funding request, $1,881.6 million
is for ongoing U.S. Mission operations in Iraq and $53 million would fund U.N.
Assistance Missions in Afghanistan and in Iraq. In addition, $35 million is in the
request for Migration and Refugee Assistance.
Last year the Bush Administration requested an FY2006 Emergency
Supplemental of $1,497 million within State’s Diplomatic and Consular Programs
budget account to cover Iraq operations and security. The House and Senate passed
the emergency supplemental conference report (H.R. 4939. H.Rept. 109-494) in June
2006. The final measure included $1,529.4 million for D&CP in Iraq, $25.3 million
for State’s Inspector General, $5.0 million for exchanges in Iran, $178 million for
U.N. peacekeeping, and $36.1 million for international broadcasting in Iran. The
President signed the measure into law (P.L. 109-234) on June 15, 2006.
State Department FY2008 Regular Request
The State Department’s mission is to advance and protect the worldwide
interests of the United States and its citizens through the staffing of overseas
missions, the conduct of U.S. foreign policy, the issuance of passports and visas, and
other responsibilities. Currently, the State Department coordinates with the activities
of 50 U.S. government agencies and organizations in operating more than 260 posts
in over 180 countries around the world. Currently, the State Department employs
approximately 30,000 people, about 60% of whom work overseas. Highlights
follow.
Administration of Foreign Affairs
Diplomatic and Consular Programs (D&CP) — The D&CP account funds
overseas operations (e.g., motor vehicles, local guards, telecommunications,
medical), activities associated with conducting foreign policy, passport and visa
applications, regional bureaus, under secretaries, and post assignment travel.
Beginning in FY2000, the State Department’s Diplomatic and Consular Program

account included State’s salaries and expenses, as well as the technology and
information functions of the former USIA and the functions of the former ACDA.
For D&CP’s FY2008 budget, the Administration is requesting $4,942.7 million,
14.5% above the estimated FY2007 level, but a 13.2% decline from the FY2006
funding level of $5,692.3 million, reflecting rescissions and supplementals. Within
the FY2008 request, $964.8 million is designated for worldwide security upgrades.
The estimated FY2007 funding level is $4,314.0 million, of which more than $700
million is for supporting worldwide security upgrades.
Embassy Security, Construction and Maintenance (ESCM) — This account
supports the maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement of overseas facilities to
provide appropriate, safe, secure and functional facilities for U.S. diplomatic
missions abroad. Early in 1998, Congress had enacted $640 million for this account
for FY1999. However, following the embassy bombings in Africa in August 1998,
Congress agreed to more than $1 billion (within a supplemental funding bill) for the
Security and Maintenance account by establishing a new subaccount referred to as
Worldwide Security Upgrades.
The Administration request for FY2008 seeks $792.5 million for regular ESCM
and $806.9 million for worldwide security upgrades, for a total account level of
$1,599.4 million, a 7.4% increase over both the FY2007 and FY2006 ESCM total
appropriations level of $1,489.7 million, reflecting rescissions.
Educational and Cultural Exchanges — This account funds programs
authorized by the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, such as
the Fulbright Academic Exchange Program, as well as leadership programs for
foreign leaders and professionals. Government exchange programs came under close
scrutiny in past years for being excessive in number and duplicative. After the
September 11^th attacks, the Department of State began to emphasize public
diplomacy activities in Arab and Muslim populations.
The Bush Administration is requesting $486.4 million for exchanges in FY2008.
This represents a 9.1% increase over the FY2007 estimate and a 12.8% increase over
the FY2006 enacted level of $431.3 million. In addition, Congress, in the FY2006
appropriation, designated $329.7 million in the D&CP funds go for public
diplomacy. The estimated FY2007 funding level for public diplomacy within D&CP
is unclear at this time.
The Capital Investment Fund (CIF) — CIF was established by the Foreign
Relations Authorization Act of FY1994/95 (P.L. 103-236) to provide for purchasing
information technology and capital equipment which would ensure the efficient
management, coordination, operation, and utilization of State’s resources.
The FY2008 budget request includes $70.7 million for CIF, which is 21.7%
higher than both the enacted FY2006 and estimated FY2007 levels of $58.1 million.
The request seeks no funding for the Centralized Information Technology
Modernization Program which was funded in FY2006 at $68.5 million. In addition,
the FY2006 conference report (H. Rept 109-272) stated that the conferees expect
$116 million from expedited passport fee collections would be used for Technology

Investments in FY2006. The Revised Continuing Appropriation Resolution, FY2007
(P.L. 110-5) explicitly stated no funding would be provided for the Centralized
Information Technology Modernization Program in FY2007.
International Organizations and Conferences
In recent years, U.S. contributions to the United Nations and its affiliated
agencies (CIO) and peacekeeping operations (CIPA) have been affected by a number
of issues. These have included the withholding of funds related to international
family planning policies; issues related to implementation of the Iraq Oil for Food
Program and the findings and recommendations of the Volcker Committee Inquiry
into that program; alleged and actual findings of sexual exploitation and abuse by
personnel in U.N. peacekeeping operations in the field and other misconduct by U.N.
officials at U.N. headquarters in New York and at other U.N. headquarters venues;
and efforts to develop, agree to, and bring about meaningful and comprehensive
reform of the United Nations organization, in most of its aspects.
Since 2004, congressional attention has often been directed to ways to ensure
comprehensive U.N. reform, through legislative proposals fashioned after extensive
hearings. Current legislative issues remaining include followup and oversight of
reforms initiated by the United Nations membership in September 2005 and
throughout its fall General Assembly session and the possibility of increasing the
25% legislative cap on U.S. contributions to U.N. peacekeeping assessments to
27.1%. (For more detail, see CRS Report RL33611, United Nations System
Funding: Congressional Issues, by Marjorie Ann Browne.)
Contributions to International Organizations (CIO) — CIO provides funds for
U.S. membership in numerous international organizations and for multilateral foreign
policy activities that transcend bilateral issues, such as human rights. Maintaining
a membership in international organizations, the Administration argues, benefits the
United States by advancing U.S. interests and principles while sharing the costs with
other countries. Payments to the U.N. and its affiliated agencies, the Inter-American
Organizations, as well as other regional and international organizations, are included
in this account.
The President’s FY2008 request totaling $1,354.4 million for this account
represents a 17.6% increase over the estimated FY2007 level and the FY2006
enacted appropriation of $1,151.3 million.
Contributions to International Peacekeeping Activities (CIPA) — The United
States supports multilateral peacekeeping efforts around the world through payment
of its share of the U.N. assessed peacekeeping budget. The President’s FY2008
request totals $1,107.0 million. This represents nearly a 4% decline from the
FY2006 actual funding level of $1,152.1 million and a smaller decline of 2.5%
below the estimated FY2007 CIPA funding level of $1,135.3 million.

International Commissions
The International Commissions account (although not in the 150 account but
is in the State Department budget) includes the U.S.-Mexico Boundary and Water
Commission, the International Fisheries Commissions, the International Boundary
Commission, the International Joint Commission, and the Border Environment
Cooperation Commission. The FY2008 request of $113.5 million represents a
100.8% increase over the FY2006 level of $66.5 million and a 99% increase over the
estimated FY2007 level of $67 million. The increase is largely due to a water
treatment project near San Diego, California.
Related State Department Appropriations
The Asia Foundation — The Asia Foundation is a private, nonprofit
organization that supports efforts to strengthen democratic processes and institutions
in Asia, open markets, and improve U.S.-Asian cooperation. The Foundation
receives both government and private sector contributions. Government funds for
the Asia Foundation are appropriated to, and pass through, the State Department.
The Administration request for FY2008 is $10 million, the same as requested a year
earlier, but 27.5% below the enacted FY2006 level of $13.8 million (with
rescissions). The estimated funding level for FY2007 is $13.8 million for the Asia
Foundation.
The International Center for Middle Eastern-Western Dialogue Trust Fund —
The conferees added language in the FY2004 conference agreement for the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, FY2004 to establish a permanent trust fund for the
International Center for Middle Eastern-Western Dialogue. The act provided $6.9
million for perpetual operations of the Center which is to be located in Istanbul,
Turkey. Despite the fact that the Administration did not request any FY2005 funding
for this Center, Congress provided $7.3 million for it in FY2005. The
Administration requested spending $850,000 of interest and earnings from the Trust
Fund for program funding in FY2006, but Congress set the appropriated level at $5
million. For FY2007, the Administration requested appropriation authority to spend
$750,000 of interest and earnings from the Trust Fund to be used for programming
activities and conferences at the Center. The FY2008 budget contains no request for
the Trust and $875,000 for the program account.
National Endowment for Democracy (NED) — The National Endowment for
Democracy, a private nonprofit organization established during the Reagan
Administration, supports programs to strengthen democratic institutions in more than
90 countries around the world. NED proponents assert that many of its
accomplishments are possible because it is not a government agency. NED’s critics
claim that it duplicates U.S. government democracy programs and either could be
eliminated or could operate entirely with private funding.
The Administration’s FY2008 budget request of $80 million for NED is the
same as its FY2005, FY2006, and FY2007 requests. The FY2008 request represents
an 8.1% increase over the enacted $74.0 million (after rescissions) for FY2006. In
addition, however, the 109^th Congress created a Democracy Fund in the FY2006

Foreign Operations Appropriations (P.L. 108-102) which provided an additional
$15.25 million for NED that year. The estimated FY2007 funding level is estimated
to be $74 million.
East-West and North-South Centers — The Center for Cultural and Technical
Interchange between East and West (East-West Center), located in Honolulu, Hawaii,
was established in 1960 by Congress to promote understanding and cooperation
among the governments and peoples of the Asia/Pacific region and the United States.
The Center for Cultural and Technical interchange between North and South (North-
South Center) is a national educational institution in Miami, FL, closely affiliated
with the University of Miami. It promotes better relations, commerce, and
understanding among the nations of North America, South America and the
Caribbean. The North-South Center began receiving a direct subsidy from the
federal government in 1991.
The Administration’s FY2008 request is for $10 million for the East-West
Center, a decrease of 47.4% from the FY2006 funding level of $19.0 million
(including rescissions), and no funds for the North-South Center. The FY2007
funding level is currently set at $19 million.
Broadcasting Board of Governors
The United States International Broadcasting Act of 1994³ reorganized within
USIA all U.S. government international broadcasting, including Voice of America
(VOA), Broadcasting to Cuba, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Radio
Free Asia (RFA), and the Middle East Broadcasting Network. The 1994 Act
established the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to oversee all U.S.
government broadcasting; abolished the Board for International Broadcasting (BIB),
the administering body of RFE/RL; and recommended that RFE/RL be privatized by
December 31, 1999. This recommendation was repealed by P.L. 106-113.
During the reorganization debate in 1999, the 105^th Congress agreed that
credibility of U.S. international broadcasting was crucial to its effectiveness as a
public diplomacy tool. Therefore, Congress agreed not to merge broadcasting
functions into the State Department, but to maintain the Broadcasting Board of
Governors (BBG) as an independent agency as of October 1, 1999.
For FY2008 international broadcasting activities the President is requesting
$668.2 million, an increase of 3.8% over the FY2007 estimate of $644 million, but
a decrease of 1.7% from the FY2006 enacted level of $679.6 million, including
rescissions and supplementals. Of the $668.2 million request, $618.8 million would
be for broadcasting operations, such as VOA, $10.7 million for Capital
Improvements, and $38.7 million for Broadcasting to Cuba.

³ Title III of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995, P.L. 103-

236.

The BBG is planning to eliminate several VOA services including Uzbek,
Greek, and Cantonese as well as the RFE/RL Macedonia service. BBG also plans
to reduce several others, such as VOA and RFE/RL service in Ukrainian, Tibetan,
and Romanian. Reportedly, eleven former VOA directors are appealing to Congress
to reverse the proposed Administration cuts. At the same time, BBG’s FY2008
request would increase Middle East Broadcasting network funds by some $20
million.
Visa Issuance and Homeland Security
The State Department traditionally has had sole authority to issue visas
overseas. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (H.R. 5005/P.L. 107-296, signed into
law on November 25, 2002) now provides the Secretary of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) with exclusive authority to: 1) issue regulations regarding
administering and enforcing visa issuance, 2) impose upon any U.S. government
employee, with consent of the head of his/her agency, any functions involved in visa
issuance, 3) assign DHS employees to each overseas post where visas are issued, and
4) use the National Foreign Affairs Training Center to train DHS employees who will
be involved in visa issuance. The act states that these authorities will be exercised
through the Secretary of State. The Homeland Security Act of 2002 further provides
the Secretary of State and consular officers with the authority to refuse visa
applications. The act stipulates that within one year after the act is signed, the
Secretary of DHS and the Secretary of State must report to Congress on
implementation of visa issuance authorities and any proposals that are necessary to
improve the activities surrounding visa issuance. Specifically regarding visa issuance
in Saudi Arabia, the act stipulates that upon enactment of the act, the third party
screening program in Saudi Arabia will terminate, but on-site personnel of the DHS
shall review all visa applications prior to adjudication there.
The Department of State has authority to use machine readable visa fees in its
expenditures. In recent years funds amounted to $602.9 million for FY2004; for
FY2005 it was $668.1 million; for FY2006 it was $772.8 million; for FY2007 the
estimate is $747.6 million; and the request for FY2008 is $862 million. The fees are
typically used for State Department border security programs, technology, and
personnel.
