TO: Senator Tom Coburn
You requested an update of our March 9, 2011, memo on reductions in earmarked accounts in the short-term continuing resolution (CR), P.L. 112-4 (H.J. Res 44). This update incorporates the similar reductions to earmarked accounts that are in the three-week CR, H.J. Res. 48, that will expire on April 8, 2011.
In summary, H.J. Res. 48 makes $2.6 billion of reductions to 51 earmarked accounts across 4 appropriation bills. The preceding CR (P.L. 112-4) made $2.8 billion of reductions to 49 different earmarked accounts in 5 different appropriation bills. Thus, together, these two CRs have cut $5.3 billion from 100 or 192 earmarked accounts across 9 of the 11 appropriations bills with earmarks. For others, the reduction equals or approximates the subset of Member-only earmarks (excluding what are disclosed as Administration earmarks). In yet other cases, the reduction exceeds the amount of earmarks. Only the Defense and Military Construction-Veterans Affairs appropriations bills remain untouched by the reductions in earmarked accounts.
