Education discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Education's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Funds the Department of Education Office of Inspector General, an independent unit that conducts audits, investigations, and inspections to combat waste, fraud, and abuse and promote the efficiency and integrity of Department programs.
Extracted from Office of Inspector General, p. 8. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
