H.Amdt.1206 to H.R.5293. The OCO budget is a Pentagon slush fund that allows the Pentagon to surpass budget caps that other government programs are bound to, and allows the Pentagon to be less transparent in how it spends taxpayer money. Rep. Mick Mulvaney’s (R-SC) amendment would have prevented OCO funding from being used for normal Pentagon operations in an attempt to reduce the OCO’s utility as a slush fund. Failed, 112-306.
