正文语种：	eng
摘要：	President Joe Biden released his FY2022 comprehensive $6 trillion budget proposal, which combines his key priorities, including the $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan and the $1.8 trillion American Families Plan. A budget is a president's wish list. It's up to Congress to consider it, and whether to pass all or part of it, either as a package or in separate bills. That said, what would waterways infrastructure get in the Biden budget? The Corps of Engineers Civil Works program would get $6.79 billion under the proposed budget. In FY2021, the Corps ended up receiving close to $7.8 billion, thanks to Congress, but this is the biggest presidential budget "ask" ever for the Corps, as the administration pointed out. Of that amount, $2.45 billion is dedicated to commercial navigation, $1.72 billion for flood and storm damage reduction and $501 million for aquatic ecosystem restoration. In the Construction account, the budget provides $1.89 billion ($1.79 billion from Construction, $62.7 million from Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund [HMTF] and $32.6 million from the Mississippi River and Tributaries account) and four new starts, including the Three Rivers project on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System.
