CBO's Analysis of Scenarios for Funding the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq

CBO’s Analysis of Scenarios for Funding the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Letter to John M. Spratt Jr., January 21, 2010

  • “As you requested, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has analyzed both the funding needed to support an additional 30,000 troops in Afghanistan and the reduction in costs resulting from the ongoing withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-118) provides $130 billion for war-related operations in 2010. Based on recent trends in spending on overseas operations, the Department of Defense (DoD) would probably require further appropriations in 2010 to support an additional 30,000 troops in Afghanistan as well as other war-related operations.”
