The attached tables and figures update data that were originally provided in the December 1998 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) memorandum, Emergency Spending Under the Budget Enforcement Act. That memorandum analyzed trends in emergency spending since the enactment of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990. It included data for fiscal years 1991 through 1999 and in some cases provided comparative data for earlier years.
On May 21, 1999, the 1999 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act
(Public Law 106-31) was signed into law. The attached tables and figures
update those in the 1998 CBO memorandum to include the effects of that
act. They also reflect the release of emergency appropriations that were
contingent on an emergency designation by the President when the CBO memorandum
was published but that have since been designated as emergencies and made
available for obligation. The following tables and figures have been updated:

Table A-4. | Number of Accounts That Contain Emergency Funding Provided in Regular Appropriations, 1991-2000 | |
Table A-5. | Supplemental and Regular Appropriation Acts That Include Emergency Spending |
CBO estimates that the 1999 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act provides about $12.9 billion in emergency appropriations for fiscal year 1999 and nearly $2 billion in emergency funds for fiscal year 2000. Of the amount provided for 1999, about $9.3 billion is for defense programs and about $3.6 billion for nondefense programs.(1) Most of the amount available for 2000 is for military pay and retirement.
The act includes emergency appropriations for a variety of purposes. It provides funds for military operations in Kosovo and Southwest Asia, refugee relief in those and other regions, assistance to Jordan and Central America, domestic and international relief for natural disasters (principally the tornadoes in Oklahoma and Kansas and Hurricane Mitch in Central America), and for other purposes.
Except for emergency spending for Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm
(which was offset by foreign contributions), the 1999 act is the largest
emergency supplemental enacted since the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990
went into effect.(2) When
combined with the $21.4 billion in emergency appropriations that was provided
in the Omnibus Appropriations Act for 1999 (Public Law 105-277), the 1999
emergency supplemental brings total emergency appropriations for the year
to just over $34 billion. That amount is more than three times the annual
average of non-Desert Storm/Desert Shield emergency appropriations for
the 1991-1999 period.
