"The amount of sequester relief provided was modest, and so I think it will be challenging to add back funds and meet all the needs that are out there," said Joel Friedman, vice president for federal fiscal policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

It will definitely be a challenge, and some programs will continue to be short funded at the end of the process."
