From the article:

The measure covers the Agriculture Department, Food and Drug Administration and related agencies for the fiscal year that began Oct.

USDA’s 2004 discretionary program outlays are about $20.2 billion, a decrease of $311 million from the 2003 level.

The 2004 FDA budget was 1.7 billion $$.
