“I bring to your attention, my concern about a provision in the House version of the Concurrent Budget Resolution, H. Con. Res. 83, concerning restrictions on advance appropriations. The Senate provision more properly addresses this issue. The House provision (Section 13) is extremely vague and restricts both the Congress and the Administration concerning the funding of capital projects using advance appropriations. As you prepare to conference the Fiscal Year 2002 Concurrent Budget Resolution, I urge you to sustain the Senate provision (Section 201) in the final conference report.”
