Congress allocates more for e-gov fund than ever before

The House and Senate appropriations committees allocated more funding for the e-government fund in fiscal 2010 than in the previous seven years combined. In the Financial Services bill, the House's version includes $33 million for the General Services Administration, which manages the fund for the Office of Management and Budget. The Senate's version includes $35 million. Both houses of Congress want to approve GSA's spending plan for the fund.
