FY 2009 Congressional Budget Hearings

The President’s FY 2009 Budget was released to Congress on Monday, February 4th. Whether discussing recapitalization, roles and missions debates, or personnel initiatives, there are a number of Air Force-related issues that will be debated on Capitol Hill in the coming months as part of this budgetary process. The Air Force Association encourages you to learn more about these topics by following the congressional hearings that will take place throughout the next several months.
