Lessons Learned
• Budgets are volatile and shrinking• DHS isn’t kidding when they say money is scarce
–and it will continue to shrink• DHS needs to compete for resources in a very
austere environment –they are competing against every other federal discretionary program that exists
• Know your customer! Their pressure points include not just limited resources but continued pressures to perform. Oversight, oversight, oversight
• Join us for an upcoming Hill day where you can meet the people who write these bills…
Analysis
• Congress passed 21 continuing resolutions for FY 2001, the most for a fiscal year since 2000, but more than half lasted only a day
• Due to budget gridlock in Congress, continuing resolutions are becoming a routine way of funding government
Continuing Resolutions Are Routine
Shutdowns Not Routine
Recommended
