Labor 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 Labor's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Pays lump-sum compensation and medical benefits to Department of Energy nuclear weapons workers seriously ill from radiation, beryllium, or silica exposure, and their survivors.
Extracted from Energy Employees Occupational Illness, p. 10. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
