Abstract
This thesis examines the factors affecting the final outcome of the DON budget, both monetary and political. Trends for the four major appropriations areas are analyzed to compare how their distribution changes with regard to availability of funds and Congressional influence. The data collected for the thirty year period FY55 through FY84 indicated that while DON budgeting is primarily incremental, some appropriation areas fare better than others with changing availability of funds. The Procurement (PROC) appropriation has been the most sensitive to the availability of funds, while Research, Development, Test and Evaluations (RDT&E) also receives its largest shares of the budget during the years of abundant funding. Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and Military Personnel (MP) fare better than RDT&E and PROC during lean years, but worse than those during abundant years.
