This annual bill appropriates funding to the Dept. of Defense for the fiscal year ending 9/30/13. It was introduced 3 weeks before the continuing resolution (CR) extending the previous year’s budget was set to expire (*H. J. Res. 117 of 9/10/12). Rather than focus on department-specific appropriations acts like this one in the remaining 3 weeks, Congress focused on a new omnibus continuing resolution (CR) that would fund the whole government, passing a bill on 3/26 (*H.R. 933 of 3/6/13).
Appropriations levels for relevant programs listed in this bill are identical to those in the CR, so see *H.R. 933 for details.
1 cosponsor (1I).
