Abstract: On December 9, 2006, President Bush signed a continuing resolution, or CR (P.L. 109-383, H.J.Res. 102) which provides spending at FY2006 levels (through February 15, 2007) for those agencies lacking enacted FY2007 appropriations bills. The House passed 10 of its 11 appropriations bills, and the Senate passed 3 of its 12 appropriations bills. The Senate Appropriations Committee passed its remaining 9 appropriation bills. Based on those current House and Senate actions, total federal R&D could reach an estimated $140 billion in FY2007. Congress has passed two appropriations bills, the Department of Defense (P.L.109-289) and the Department of Homeland Security (P.L. 109 295, H.Rept. 109-699). The Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security are the only two agencies that have enacted FY2007 appropriations bills.
