Summary

H.R. 1473 would provide appropriated funding for government operations funded by all 12 annual appropriations bills through the remainder of FY 2011.

The net effect of the bill—including the increase for DoD and the reductions for other spending—would be to reduce spending by $39.88 billion from FY 2010 levels. Compared to the President’s request, the bill would reduce net spending by $78.5 billion.
