Fiscal Year 2001 Budget Estimate
In fiscal year 2001 the budget request for the Architect of the Capitol is presented again as an Operating Budget and a Capital
Budget. The Operating Budget for this appropriation is comprised of all costs associated with the daily care, maintenance and operation
of the facilities and activities under the jurisdiction of the Architect of the Capitol. The budget justification for the Operating Budget
includes a summary schedule explanatory statement and the associated schedule, followed by the Operating Allotment narratives. The
narratives describe the purpose of all operating allotments funded in this appropriation. When changes have been requested for fiscal year
2001, the amount and justification for those changes appear in italics.
For the fiscal year 2001 budget justifications, detailed narrative descriptions and other information are provided for all annual
operating budget allotments. This narrative is supported by a table that includes the following data: the allotment code number (Object
Code), allotment title (Item), and the last funding level before that allotment was increased or decreased to the fiscal year 1999 level
(Allotment before FY 99). A two-column designation follows that indicates in the first column a letter code whether that amount was
initiated (I), the year changed to the fiscal year 1999 level (C), or has been continued at that base amount (B) since 1991. The second
column will indicate for those allotments that have changed before fiscal year 1999 the year of that change. The next several columns will
indicate funding levels for fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001, as well as the obligations for fiscal year 1999. In accordance with sound
financial management practice, these allotments are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changing needs. Increases that cannot be absorbed
from other operating areas are requested through the budget process.
