Title: Supplemental Appropriations for FY2002: Combating Terrorism and Other Issues
Authors: Amy Belasco and Larry Nowels, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: Submitted on March 21, 2002 as an emergency supplemental request to combat terrorism, the Administration's $27.1 billion request is not subject to the budget ceilings that apply to FY2002. The Administration's request is split almost evenly between the Department of Defense ($14 billion) and other agencies ($13 billion). Like the Emergency Terrorism Response supplemental, the first supplemental to combat terrorism, the FY2002 request would provide additional funding for the war in Afghanistan, to New York City, and enhancing airport security. Other policy priorities, such as bioterrorism and investigative activities, receive less emphasis in this request. The Administration also includes new funding proposals and policy provisions in foreign assistance.
