What is the difference between an authorization and an appropriation?
What will be an ideal response?
Authorizations allow (or “authorize”) programs to be created and funded and recommend a specific funding level for those programs. Appropriations give agencies the legal right to actually spend funds, sometimes at the level set in the authorization but sometimes at a lower level. The essential difference is between what government should do (authorizations) and what it can afford to do (appropriations).
