time of this writing, only two of the appropriations bills for 2007 had been
enacted; therefore, the programs provided for in the remaining 2007
appropriations bills were operating under a continuing resolution (P.L.
109–289, Division B, as amended). For these programs, references to 2007
spending in the text and tables reflect the levels provided by the continuing
resolution.
