Base funding levels are equal to the amounts enacted in the 2007 Department of Defense and Homeland Security Acts with other Government operations equal to the estimated full-year funding levels provided by P.L. 109-289, Division B, as amended. These levels are adjusted to reflect the current congressional discretionary topline of $872.8 billion, with the funding difference allocated among the categories.

This category is comprised of funding for the Department of Defense, homeland security activities Government-wide (see Table S-4), and funding for international affairs (Function 150).

Department of Defense levels are consistent with the Future Years Defense Plan, and the homeland security levels are consistent with the Future Years Homeland Security Plan.

These amounts exclude the budgetary effects of the Administration's reauthorization proposal of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).  That proposal would transform the current tax-financing system for FAA to a cost-based user-fee system. For more information, see the Transportation chapter in this volume and related sections in the Appendix and Analytical Perspectives volumes of the Budget.  If this proposal were enacted, the Administration would adjust its discretionary cap proposal downward in these years to reflect the offsetting collections that would result from this user-based fee system.

Funding levels are equal to the amounts enacted in the 2007 Department of Defense and Homeland Security Acts with other Government operations equal to the estimated full-year funding levels provided by P.L. 109-289, Division B, as amended.

Inlcudes $1.7 billion in fuding enacted in the 2007 Homeland Security and Defense Acts. 2007 and 2008 also include an additional $0.2 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively, in the Administration's pending supplemental requests for the Global War on Terror.

For more detail on homeland security funding, consult the Homeland Security Funding Analysis chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget. Dollar amounts in this table are rounded to the nearest million at the account level, which accounts for any discrepancies with the Analytical Perspectives chapter.

Mandatory homeland security programs include $1 billion from anticipated spectrum auction receipts provided in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 for the Department of Commerce to make grants to public safety agencies for communications interoperability purposes.

A decrease in the Treasury operating cash balance (which is an asset) is a means of financing a deficit and therefore has a positive sign. An increase in checks outstanding (which is a liability) is also a means of financing a deficit and therefore also has a positive sign.

Besides checks outstanding, includes accrued interest payable on Treasury debt, uninvested deposit fund balances, allocations of special drawing rights, and other liability accounts; and, as an offset, cash and monetary assets (other than the Treasury operating cash balance), other asset accounts, and profit on sale of gold.

Consists mainly of Federal Financing Bank debt (which is not subject to limit), the unamortized discount (less premium) on public issues of Treasury notes and bonds (other than zero-coupon bonds), and the unrealized discount on Government account series securities.

The statutory debt limit is $8,965 billion, enacted on March 20, 2006.

Treasury securities held by the public and zero-coupon bonds held by Government accounts are almost all measured at sales price plus amortized discount or less amortized premium. Agency debt securities are almost all measured at face value. Treasury securities in the Government account series are otherwise measured at face value less unrealized discount (if any).

At the end of 2006, the Federal Reserve Banks held $768.9 billion of Federal securities and the rest of the public held $4,060.0 billion. Debt held by the Federal Reserve Banks is not estimated for future years.
