Number: 98-823 Title: MILITARY CONTINGENCY FUNDING FOR BOSNIA, SOUTHWEST ASIA, AND OTHER OPERATIONS: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Authors: Nina M. Serafino, Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division Abstract: Congress' unprecedented funding in the annual budget of two large scale on-going operations--the NATO operation in Bosnia and the coalition operation in Southwest Asia--beginning in FY1996 has not resolved the problem because changes in the plans for those operations have required the Administration to draw on funds planned for other activities. Supplemental appropriations, which require recission of previously-approved funding if they are not to increase the budget, continue to play a large part in funding these operations.
