HOUSE PASSES H.R. 4818, FY05 OMNIBUS APPROPRIATIONS BILL
April 9, 2009
Press Release
Today, the House voted in favor of H.R. 4818, the FY2005 Omnibus Appropriations Bill. The amalgamated bill included nine appropriations bills for a total of $388.4 billion in discretionary spending. When added to the other four discretionary appropriations bills, the total FY05 discretionary spending is $821.9 billion.
"I am very pleased that the House completed their work on appropriations for the fiscal year," said Rep. Ken Calvert. "I am pleased that many worthwhile local projects were included in the omnibus. California consistently receives less in federal appropriations than it pays in federal taxes. Our local communities need to see a return on their tax dollars in order to provide vital services for residents such as funding to improve transportation, to prevent gang violence and improve education."
The FY05 appropriations bills included in the omnibus were:
1. Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration
2. Commerce, Justice, State, and the Judiciary
3. Energy and Water Development
4. Foreign Operations and Exporting Financing
5. Interior
6. Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education
7. Legislative Branch
8. Transportation, Treasury, and Independent Agencies
9. Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies
A more detailed analysis of projects will be available on Monday.
