FY 2009 Budget Update Omnibus v. Full Year CR Omnibus Allows Congress to direct funding increases Allows Congress to add in policy directives Could approve funds requested for fixed costs & pay raise Would likely restore some decreases Downside: If decreases funded under the CR are not increased, other programs must be reduced to cover.  Like: Road Maintenance, JOM, UTTC/NTC

FY 2009 Budget Update Omnibus v. Full Year CR Full Year CR Would fund at FY 2008 enacted level (+$100M) Language would determine if earmarks are coninued. Pay Raise/Fixed Costs would be in question. Tribal pay raise was not funded by Congress in FY 2007 full-yr CR. (covered from IA) Downside: Increases and new starts requested in the FY 2009 President’s Budget would not be funded.
