AAAS, based on historical data and Budget of the U.S. Government FY 2008.
Figures adjusted from annual federal inventory of homeland security mission funding
by AAAS to include conduct of R&D and R&D facilities, and revised estimates of DHS R&D.
Figures do not include non-R&D homeland security activities.
Note: DOD expanded its reporting of homeland security spending beginning in 2005.
Funding includes regular appropriations and emergency supplementals. * - 2007 continuing resolution or enacted.
