Pub. L. 109-234, tit. I, ch. 2, sec. 1213

Sec. 1213. (a) Findings.—The Senate makes the following findings: (1) Title IX of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006 (division A of Public Law 109–148) appropriated $50,000,000,000 for the cost of ongoing military operations overseas in fiscal year 2006, although those funds were not requested by the President. (2) The President on February 16, 2006, submitted to Congress a request for supplemental appropriations in the amount of $67,600,000,000 for ongoing military operations in fiscal year 2006, none of which supplemental appropriations was included in the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2006, as agreed to in the Senate on April 28, 2005. (3) The President on February 6, 2006, included a $50,000,000,000 allowance for ongoing military operations in fiscal year 2007, but did not formally request the funds or provide any detail on how the allowance may be used. (4) The concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2007, as agreed to in the Senate on March 16, 2007, anticipates as much as $86,300,000,000 in emergency spending in fiscal year 2007, indicating that the Senate expects to take up another supplemental appropriations bill to fund ongoing military operations during fiscal year 2007. (b) Sense of Senate.—It is the sense of the Senate that—(1) any request for funds for a fiscal year after fiscal year 2007 for ongoing military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq should be included in the annual budget of the President for such fiscal year as submitted to Congress under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code; (2) any request for funds for such a fiscal year for ongoing military operations should provide an estimate of all funds required in that fiscal year for such operations; (3) any request for funds for ongoing military operations should include a detailed justification of the anticipated use of such funds for such operations; and (4) any funds provided for ongoing military operations overseas should be provided in appropriations Acts for such fiscal 120 STAT. 432 year through appropriations to specific accounts set forth in such appropriations Acts.
