The Senate Appropriations Committee approved fiscal year (FY) 2017 funding allocations for its 12 subcommittees this week.  The House approved just one subcommittee allocation for the Military Construction-Veterans Affairs Subcommittee.  302(b) allocations provide the top-line spending level for each of the appropriations subcommittees.  Since no congressional budget resolution has been adopted, allocations are based on the $1.07 trillion discretionary spending limit agreed to in the Bipartisan Budget Act passed in 2015.
