Identifying appropriations and budgetary things

[mustyoshi]

I'd like to start putting together a way to identify how much money a bill uses. Then likely move into counting up how much certain representatives are responsible for.
There are many different ways budget items can be worded.

• Transfer Funding
  • HR-5968 - This example seems to be taking money allocated to one program and repurposing it for another program.
• Idk what to call this one yet
  • HR-6018 - This one makes money available in the Treasury available for specific military projects

Some of what I'll want to do is find dollar amounts, and then be able to tie the money to a program or a specific section in the USCode, which could then be traversed to find a project/department name.

Eventually I'll probably need to be able to identify when dates are changed to make money available longer or reoccurring. When I find examples of those I will put them here.

Are you still working on this? Priority? I'd like to help.

Do you want to define types of budget items to search for? Like, for the second one you mentioned:

Idk what to call this one yet

[HR-6018](https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/6018/text) - This one makes money available in the Treasury available for specific military projects

I can go through a sample of bills to map section headers to budget items. For example, HR-6018 would be "Remittance Transfer Fee"
