Over the holidays, incoming Senate Budget Committee chair Kent Conrad (D-ND), the incoming House Budget Committee chair John Spratt (D-SC), and the Senate Budget Committee chair Judd Gregg (R-NH) sent a letter to President Bush reminding him to include the full costs of the Iraq and Afghanistan military operations in his regular budget submission for FY 2008, expected on or about February 7, 2007. The letter opens: In the Defense Authorization Act of 2007, for fiscal year 2007 (PL 109-364), Congress directed that your budget for fiscal year 2008 include full funding of the costs of ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. As the bipartisan, bicameral leadership of the Congressional Budget Committees, we write to underscore the importance of this directive. An open and legitimate question, as we await the President's submission of another emergency supplemental war funding request (this time, in the all-time record amount of $110 billion, at last OMB Watch report): will President Bush comply with or ignore this law, one he himself signed just a few months ago?
