Omnibus Appropriations Analysis Updated -- California Capitol Hill Bulletin -- Volume 10, Bulletin 4 -- February 27, 2003

The Institute has updated its initial analysis (See, Bulletin, Vol. 10, No. 3 (2/14/03) of the FY03 Omnibus Appropriations bill passed by Congress two weeks ago. It is important for readers to note that the appropriation figures cited in the updated analysis are not reduced by the 0.65 percent across-the-board cut enacted in the bill. It will be up to the individual agencies to determine how and where to impose those cuts.

Please note that this appropriations analysis special report is a large document -- approximately 30 pages. The new version, with its greater detail on programs and projects of importance to California, can be found on the Institute's website in text form at: http://www.calinst.org/pubs/omn03c.htm and in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format at http://www.calinst.org/pubs/omn03c.pdf .
