Summary:
The standing and select committees of the House and Senate (except for the Appropriations Committees) receive their operational budget funding through omnibus funding resolutions considered early in the first session of each Congress. Controversies about committee budgets tend to focus on the relative growth rate of committee operating costs and the relative proportion of staff and operating funds made available for the minority party on each committee. This report describes the procedures under which committee funding resolutions are considered in the two chambers. A table at the end of the report shows funds approved for the 105th Congress, and the funds requested, recommended, and approved for the 106th Congress for each House committee. The Senate agreed to temporary funding extensions for its committees pending a decision to shift to a fiscal year-based funding process.
