following new section 226:) 

SEC. 226. CANCELLATION AND APPROPRIATION 

(a) Of the funds appropriated in the Military Construction and 

Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010 

(Public Law 111–117, Division E), the following amounts which become available on October 1, 2010 are hereby permanently cancelled 

from the following accounts in the amounts specified: 

‘‘Medical Services’’, Department of Veterans Affairs, 

$1,600,000,000; 

‘‘Medical Support and Compliance’’, Department of Veterans 

Affairs, $250,000,000; and 

‘‘Medical Facilities’’, Department of Veterans Affairs, 

$350,000,000. 

(b) An additional amount is appropriated to the following accounts in the amounts specified, to become available on October 1, 

2010 and to remain available until September 30, 2012: 

‘‘Medical Services’’, Department of Veterans Affairs, 

$1,600,000,000; 

‘‘Medical Support and Compliance’’, Department of Veterans 

Affairs, $250,000,000; and 

‘‘Medical Facilities’’, Department of Veterans Affairs, 

$350,000,000. 

This amendment would clarify that the language transmitted 

with the FY 2011 Budget as sections 226, 227 and 228 of the general provisions for the Department of Veterans Affairs was not intended to be a reappropriation of funds. Rather than simply extending the period of availability through FY 2012, the clarification 

instead permanently cancels the funding that was appropriated for 

FY 2011 in the FY 2010 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (Public Law 111– 

117) and newly appropriates the funds with the longer period of 

availability. The proposed Budget totals would not be affected by 

this language amendment.

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION 

CROSS AGENCY SUPPORT

FY 2011 Budget Appendix Pages: 1173–1174 

FY 2011 Pending Request: $3,111,400,000 

Proposed Amendment: ·$3,592,000 

Revised Request: $3,107,808,000 

(In the appropriations language under the above heading, delete 

‘‘$3,111,400,000’’ and substitute $3,107,808,000.) 

This amendment would decrease the request by almost $4 million for the Cross Agency Support (CAS) account to reflect correctly 

the policy assumed in the Budget. Additional funding for the acquisition workforce initiative was provided in section 526 of the Department of Commerce General Provisions. However, this funding 

was erroneously double counted in the appropriations language for 

the CAS account. 

This amendment seeks to make the legislative language consistent with the Budget totals. As such, those totals would not be 

affected by the transmittal of this amendment.
