This Act, which consists of the nine regular annual appropria- tions bills for fiscal year 2009 that were outstanding from the prior congress, as well as further provisions related to Homeland Security and other matters, is the product of negotiations between the House and Senate Appropriations Committees that took place before its in- troduction. The compromise measure was introduced as an original bill by Chairman Obey on February 23, 2009 and was passed by the House without amendment two days later.1 The Senate began con- sideration on March 2, and passed the bill without amendment by voice vote on March 10.2 The President signed the legislation on March 11, 2009 and it became Public Law 111–8. Because the measure was pre-negotiated and the final product in- troduced as an original bill, there is no conference report and no ‘‘joint explanatory statement of the managers’’ for H.R. 1105. In- stead, as directed by the House of Representatives,3 Chairman Obey submitted an Explanatory Statement in the Congressional Record of February 23, 2009.4 Section 4 of the Act provides that this Explana- tory Statement ‘‘shall have the same effect with respect to the alloca- tion of funds and implementation of this Act as if it were a joint explanatory statement of a committee of conference.’’ The text of the Explanatory Statement is reproduced in full in this committee print. For the convenience of users, this print is organized according to the ten divisions of the Act, with the legislative text of each division paired with the applicable portion of the Explanatory Statement. 1 Vote on passage: 245 yeas–178 nays (Roll No. 86), February 25, 2009. 2 Senate vote to invoke cloture on the bill: 62 yeas–35 nays (Record vote no. 96). 3 H. Res. 92, section 2 (as amended by section 2 of H. Res. 108). 4 The Statement appears on pages H1653–H2599 in the February 23 Congressional Record.
