1Opinion of the Court

(Slip Opinion) Committee Resolutions Under 40 U.S.C. § 3307(a) and the Availability of Enacted Appropriations Under 40 U.SC. § 3307(a), committee approval resolutions do not establish binding limits on how the General Services Administration may expend appropriated funds. If Con- gress appropriates funds for a project that has not received committee approval, sec- tion 3307(a) does not constrain what the Executive Branch may do with the funds. Committee resolutions adopted under section 3307(a) have no effect on the availability of appropriated funds for purposes of the Anti-Deficiency Act.…
