Summary:
On November 17, 2006, President Bush signed a continuing resolution, or CR (P.L. 109-369, H.J.Res. 100) which provides spending at FY2006 levels (through December 8, 2006), for those agencies lacking enacted FY2007 appropriations bills. The House has passed 10 of its 11 appropriations bills, and the Senate has passed 3 of its 12 appropriations bills (the Senate Appropriations Committee has passed its remaining 9 appropriation bills). Congress has passed two appropriations bills, the Department of Defense (P.L. 109-289, H.Rept. 109-676) and the Department of Homeland Security (P.L. 109-295, H.Rept. 109-699). Based on these current House and Senate actions, total federal R&D [research and development] could reach an estimated $140 billion for FY2007. The centerpiece of the President's proposed FY2007 R&D budget is the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI). The President proposed this initiative in response to growing concerns about America's ability to compete in the technological global marketplace.
