Dan Inouye, United States Senator for Hawaii

Congressionally Directed Spending Requests

As Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I have a direct responsibility to the American people to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely. I take this duty very seriously. One of my first actions as Chair was to build on the unprecedented reforms made to earmarks since Democrats took control of the Congress in 2007. These reforms mean that earmarks will be funded at a level half as high as they were in 2006, and face greater public scrutiny. In order to ensure that my own requests are open and transparent, I will post my own funding priorities for each Appropriations Bill here for all to see.
