[liberationtech] US global internet freedom funding - FY 15 President's budget request

[Steve Schultze]

For context, $50.5m was the FY14 omnibus appropriations bill amount.

The President's budget is only one of many inputs into the actual
appropriations that result. Not sure what the brackets signal.

At State, much of our IF funding comes from funds that are not necessarily
explicitly called out in the President's budget, the appropriations bill,
or even our own Congressional Budget Justification.

Don't Panic.
