Summary:

On September 30, 2004 President Bush signed a continuing resolution, or CR (P.L. 108-309, H.J.Res. 107) which essentially maintains spending at FY2004 levels for those agencies lacking enacted FY2005 appropriations bills, through November 20, 2004. The House has passed 12 of its 13 appropriations bills while the Senate has passed six appropriations bills. Four of these bills have been signed into law. The FY2005 CR (H.J.Res. 107) includes the 9 appropriation bills that have not been passed by Congress. Based on the bills as passed or reported by the House, CRS estimates that the House has approved a record high of $131.5 billion for federal R&D for FY2005.
