President Bush Proposes $64 Billion Federal IT Budget
Government solution providers will have a few more dollars to compete for in 2007 if President Bush’s proposed budget for $64.3 billion is approved by Congress. The slight increase would mostly benefit civil agencies, with the Defense Department’s budget remaining flat. No big shock here!
President Bush proposed an IT budget of $30.5 billion for the Department of Defense, compared to the $30.4 enacted in fiscal year 2006; for civil agencies, he proposed $33.7, compared to $32 billion last year. Not surprisingly, most of the additional dollars were allocated to the Department of Homeland Security, with a proposed budget increase of $772 million compared to last year. Among the agencies that saw a decrease in proposed budget allocation compared to last year were the Department of Treasury and NASA.
