Reading the FY2027 State Department Budget
InteractiveWhen I was at State, one of my favorite jobs was translating the budget for colleagues and senior leaders. Given the big changes to the structure of the Department, I wanted to do the same for the FY2027 budget.
This page compares the President's FY2027 request with the House bill. It also compares both proposals with the previous two years and shows how accounts were combined, renamed, or ended. I will add the Senate bill when it becomes available.
The Senate subcommittee has not yet debated and amended its bill. This chart will add a third proposal column when it does.
