$35.5B

The Administration's request — down 29.1%

The President's budget asks $35.51 billion net for FY2027 — $14.6 billion below FY2026's $50.07 billion. It zeroes UN peacekeeping, NED, USIP, GEF, and the broadcasting successor, replaces the $6.8B development account with a $5B flexible fund, and books $2.29 billion in new rescissions.

$47.4B

The House answer — $11.9B above the request

The House bill, H.R. 8595 (passed 217–209 on July 15), provides $49.21 billion gross, $47.37 billion net of its own $1.84 billion in rescissions — a 5.4% cut from FY2026 rather than the requested 29%. It restores most of what the request eliminates, and grows security assistance.

The Senate — no bill yet

The Senate Appropriations Committee's State-Foreign Operations subcommittee has taken no action as of August 2. The Senate columns below are structured and waiting; historically SFOPS Senate marks land above the House on assistance accounts.

Funding allocations

Each tile is an account, sized by dollars; regions are the bill's titles. Switch versions and watch the map reshape — accounts the request eliminates vanish, and the America First fund appears from nothing. Hover for the four-column card; click a tile to jump to its table row. Fee-net and offset accounts with negative values don't map spatially and are omitted here.

Comparison between FY25, FY26, and proposed FY27 levels

Toggle between the title-level view and the largest accounts. Hollow bars are the request; gold bars are the House; the two grays behind them are FY2025 and FY2026 enacted. All figures use CRS's consistent accounting with rescissions subtracted, in millions.

Where the proposals differ

The gap between the request and the House bill, account by account. Gold means the House added money back (or declined a cut); iron means the House funded below the request — which happened too: the flexible America First fund, the IDA pledge, and emergency refugee funds all came in under the ask.

The account table

CRS's consistent account table: FY2025 and FY2026 enacted (after subtracting rescissions), the FY2027 request, and the FY2027 House level, with the Senate column awaiting markup. Negative values are net-offset conventions (consular fees, Ex-Im receipts, Treasury debt). Indented rows are components of the account above them.

How accounts changed in FY2026

The reason the FY2025 column reads so differently: the FY2026 act rebuilt the account architecture. Ribbons are sized by each predecessor's FY2025 dollars; the gold-stroked nodes on the right are the consolidated accounts at their FY2026 levels. Dashed means ended with no successor. This is the map between the Department's old account structure and the one in use since FY2026.

Policy riders and spending rules

Funding is half the bill. The other half is who controls the machine: the request asks Congress to ratify the USAID reorganization and hand the Secretary broad flexibility; the House keeps the money fenced with consent requirements, certifications, and binding tables — while adopting much of the effectiveness agenda.

SENATE: NO BILL YET. The Senate committee has produced no bill or report as of August 2, 2026. A third column activates here when Senate text posts.
Account architectureA1OF · NSIP · §7066
AdministrationReplace the $6.8B National Security Investment Programs account and the Democracy Fund with a $5B America First Opportunity Fund holding essentially the same authorities — maximum flexibility, minimum earmarking.
HouseKeeps NSIP at $6.89B and the Democracy Fund at $205M; allows A1OF only as a ≤$1.5B carve-out from four existing accounts (§7066), with the report directing $750M of NSIP toward it.
USAID & reorganizationreq §7045 · House §7063
AdministrationProposed §7045 would ratify USAID's abolition and authorize the Secretary to reorganize by plan transmitted to Congress — transferring any USAID authority to State. The request already books the FY2025 reorganization: 1,680 positions out via deferred resignation and RIF.
House§7063 runs the other way: no funds from any act to reorganize bureaus, change overseas presence, or move Civil Service, Foreign Service, or LE staffing off justified levels without prior consultation and notification. §7005 makes RIF costs come out of existing Title I money.
Effectiveness & evidence§7011 · §7064(b)
AdministrationThe proposed text retains FA.gov reporting and an evaluations provision, but drops most of the House's effectiveness scaffolding — no strategy-implementation report, no beneficiary-feedback mandate, no bureau certification regime.
HouseFull §7011 regime: strategy-implementation report, beneficiary feedback requirement, ≥$15M for impact evaluations, FA.gov for every agency — plus §7064(b) bureau-level financial and grants-management certification within 45 days of obligation. MFAN counts several of its proposals in the text.
Congressional control of funds§7019 · §7015 · §7062
AdministrationRequests flexibility: fewer designated amounts, transfer authorities, and the A1OF as an unearmarked pool. Proposed general provisions run to §7060 — omitting the House's tightest control sections.
HouseBinding allocation tables with a 10% deviation cap (§7019), program-level operating plans in 45 days (§7062), quarterly idle-balance accounting (§7002), and government-to-government guardrails with mandatory suspension on misuse (§7031).
UN & multilateral fundingCIO · CIPA · IO&P
AdministrationZeroes assessed UN peacekeeping and voluntary UN programs; cuts assessed international-organization dues 79% to $292M; zeroes GEF; cuts the IDA pledge to $867M.
HousePartially restores: $489.5M peacekeeping and $310M assessed dues (still deep cuts from FY26); keeps GEF at $139.6M; cuts IDA further than the request, to $504M.
Democracy infrastructureNED · USIP · exchanges
AdministrationEliminates NED, USIP, the Asia Foundation, East-West Center, and cuts exchanges 68% to $216M; no broadcasting request beyond a $238M communications successor.
HouseFunds NED at $296M, exchanges at $647M, Asia Foundation and East-West Center at reduced levels, and the new International Communications Activities account at $575M. USIP stays ended.
Security assistanceTitle IV
AdministrationCuts Title IV 18%: FMF to $5.25B, narcotics/law enforcement to $1.2B, peacekeeping operations to $27M, IMET to $95M.
HouseThe one block the House grows: $9.64B total — FMF $6.75B, INCLE $1.66B — up 8.5% over FY2026 while everything else shrinks. Worldwide Security Protection rises in both versions.
Rescissions§7068 · §7008
Administration$2.29B in proposed rescissions and cancellations, including $500M of consular fee balances. The request carries few standalone policy provisions; the reorganization it would ratify is already administrative fact.
House$1.84B in rescissions (§7068), plus coup restrictions (§7008) and the special-envoy ban (§7064(c)) among its governance provisions.

Notes on the numbers

Accounting basis CRS R48956

All four columns use CRS's net-of-rescissions accounting so they compare cleanly. Consular fees, Ex-Im receipts, and Treasury debt lines carry net-offset conventions and can run negative. The House gross figure is $49.21B before its §7068 rescissions.

FY25 is post-rescission P.L. 119-28

The FY2025 column reflects the full-year CR as later reduced by the 2025 rescissions package and executed through USAID's dissolution — a materially different number from the CR as appropriated.

DFC lending ceiling $22.0B

The House bill caps DFC loan and guaranteed principal at $22 billion — exposure authority, not appropriated cash. Excluded from every total.

WSP in every version $4.1B+

Worldwide Security Protection grows in the request ($4.14B) and the House bill ($4.16B) alike, with another $1.1B in worldwide security upgrades under embassy security. The security build-out is protected in all scenarios.

Ex-Im nets near zero est. −$175M req

Export-Import Bank receipts offset its appropriations; the request's negative figure reflects receipts exceeding gross lines. Gross House lines total $163.9M, offset dollar-for-dollar.

Senate placeholder TBD

Senate columns and the third policy column activate when the Senate committee reports. Watch for the Senate to restore assistance accounts above House marks, as in prior cycles.
