Abstract
This thesis examines the performance of four major
appropriations categories within the Department of Defense
budget for the period FY55-FY84. By performing descriptive
data analysis on budgeted outlays for the period under
study, it was determined that the availability of funds in
DOD affect different kinds of appropriations differently.
Analysis of the data was based on each category's budget
shares, growth rates, and percentages of the annual DOD
increment. Executive budget outcomes appeared to include
non-incremental adjustments and that these adjustments
are primarily in procurement and research, development,
test and evaluation categories. The category with the
most consistent success in competing for funds has been
research, development, test, and evaluation and a strong
trade-off relationship appeared between this category and
procurement.
