Approved in Committee along party lines March 21, 2001, the budget resolution caps discretionary budget authority at $661 billion, a four percent increase over FY2001. The measure would pay $2.3 trillion over 10 years for debt reduction and would reserve $517 billion as a contingency fund for spending or additional debt reduction. In addition, the resolution contains instructions for four tax reconciliation bills and sets aside $153 billion from the Medicare surplus for prescription drug benefits. The budget resolution does not have the force of law but is a spending blueprint adopted by Congress and used to allocate funding authority to the 13 appropriations committees. The Senate is expected to begin deliberations on its budget resolution in April. Appropriations Committee CURRENT MEMBERSHIP LISTING House Appropriations Committee C.W. Young (R-FL) (Chair), David R.
