	The Impact of Sept. 11 on U.S. Military Spending "In the immediate aftermath of the bombings, the White House sent to Congress a $20 billion emergency funding request for fiscal year 2001 (FY 01). Viewed widely by both administration officials and congressional leaders as merely a down payment, the amount of the supplemental was quickly doubled.
