Earmarks in Authorization Bills
On this page you can find information on earmarks for which there were expenditures
in 2005 from selected authorization bills.
This database is not designed, and cannot accurately be used, to identify the congressional sponsors
of earmarks. In addition, the recipient listed in the database may not in all cases represent the
ultimate beneficiary of the earmark.

*NOTE: The amount represents the multi-year
funding commitment, not the expenditure in 2005 alone. In the status column, a status of "certified"
indicates that the agency head or his or her designee has certified that the data the agency has
submitted is the fullest possible disclosure of earmarks according to guidance.
