2. All Federal Departments and Agencies have been put on notice that the President has called for a three year freeze in spending on many domestic and discretionary programs, an initiative intended to signal his seriousness about cutting the budget deficit.

3. What this means—When an Agency such as APHIS proposes any funding increases to a program, e.g. the ALB eradication program, it must also propose an offsetting decrease in another program. Because of this policy, each Agency must truly prioritize its budget requests over the next three years.

4. One very positive development for FY 2011 is the continuation of the funding for the Farm Bill Sections 10201 and 10202. There is $50M for 10201 i.e., an increase of $5M above the FY 2010 level and a continued $5M for 10202. We should support this to ensure Congress appropriates the full funding as proposed.

5. The President’s budget for APHIS proposes an appropriation of about $875 million. The total is a net decrease of about $37 million compared to FY 2010. In general, the budget proposes a reallocation of resources from programs that have achieved success and those for which progress in eradication is not deemed feasible at this time The budget also proposes the elimination of all Congressional earmarks.

6. On July 15, the Senate Full Appropriations Committee Marked-Up the FY 2011 Agriculture Appropriations bill. The total net increase is $21.6 million more than the FY 2010 budget and $58.6 million above the President’s budget. This budget included $20.2 million in Congressionally designated projects. The House Full Appropriations Committee Mark-Up of FY 2011 Agriculture Appropriations Bill is scheduled for Tuesday, July 27 th.
