Authors: David Randall Peterman, Resources, Science, and Industry Division 
Abstract: The conference version of H.R. 3058 was passed by Congress on November 18, 2005; the President signed the bill into law on November 30, 2005 (P.L. 109-115). The conference bill provided $60.7 billion for the Department of Transportation, less than either the House or Senate version, but $1.0 billion over FY2005 funding and $2.4 billion more than requested. On December 30, 2005, the President signed the FY2006 Department of Defense appropriations bill (P.L. 109-148), which included a one percent across-the-board rescission of non-emergency federal discretionary funding for FY2006 and $2.8 billion in supplemental funding to DOT for response to the consequences of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma.
