Each year the Committee must give general guidance to every federal agency or department in the Program about how to prepare their funding requests. Agencies doing global change research must include with the annual funding request they send to the President under section 1108 of title 31 a report that lists each proposed research activity, says whether it helps the Program directly or indirectly, and shows how much money is requested for each. They must send that report to the Committee at the same time. The President must let the Committee review and comment on each agency’s budget estimates in light of the Plan. The President must also mark in the annual budget sent to Congress under section 1105 of title 31 which items in each agency’s budget are part of the Program.
