The White House budget office is recalculating how to apply automatic spending
cuts for a handful of agencies, freeing up almost $4 billion for
the Pentagon and another $1 billion or so for Homeland Security Department
and NASA.Capitol Hill aides familiar with the White House changes say the
administration has identified almost $5 billion in cuts that can be restored
under its reading of the arcane budget rules governing the across-the-board
cuts, known as sequestration. The calculations would restore $5 billion
of the scheduled $85 billion in automatic sequestration cuts.An administration
official confirmed the calculations Friday but declined to comment further
because the process is ongoing. The official and congressional aides spoke
on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the
changes publicly.The move comes amid increasing public pressure to find
ways to lessen the impact of sequestration. Federal agencies are warning
that the mandatory cuts could mean cutbacks in services. Last week, Congress
passed and President Obama signed legislation giving the Federal Aviation
Administration the ability to avoid furloughs that were causing flight delays
by tapping money in other accounts.The cuts officially began in March after
Congress and Obama could not reach an agreement on a broader budget
deal. The automatic cuts had been imposed under a hard-fought 2011 debt
and budget pact.The cuts have so far failed to live
up to
the dire warnings issued by agencies, in part because agency budget officers
working with Congress have been permitted to transfer money between accounts.
That allowed the Justice Department, for instance, to avoid temporary layoffs
called furloughs. But budget experts warn that the grip of sequestration
will grow tighter as weeks and months pass, leading to teacher layoffs,
reduced funding for infrastructure and economic development projects, and
a host of other cuts across the budget.Many liberal activists were infuriated
when Congress last week swiftly moved to address problems with air traffic
control that led to widespread flight delays while leaving other problems
like cuts to preschool for the poor and Meals on Wheels for
the elderly unaddressed. Most lawmakers are frequent fliers.At issue in
the latest recalculation are accounts that were cut more deeply under a
full-year funding bill enacted in March than they would have been under
the across-the-board cuts. They get funds restored. It's up to the White
House Office of Management and Budget to calculate the across-the-board
cuts.The State Department said Friday that cuts to its budget would be
only $400 million, less than half of $850 million that was originally
estimated. That means it was able to avoid furloughing workers.
