In most respects House and Senate appropriations subcommittee jurisdictions are parallel.

Omnibus or Consolidated: all (or most) regular appropriations bills packaged together.
Minibus:
several regular appropriations bills packaged together.
CR:
continues agency funding at a particular level–often the previous year–without detailed appropriations.
Cromnibus:
a CR for some agencies and detailed appropriations for others.

Note on Joint Statements:
In many cases, (House-Senate) joint explanatory statements on omnibus appropriations bills are printed only in the Congressional Record–which is impossible to read on mobile devices. In those cases, we have uploaded House Rules Committee PDFs.
NOTE ON SUBCOMMITTEES: At the beginning of the 110th Congress (2007), jurisdiction over the State Department was transferred from the House Science, State, Justice and Commerce, and Related Agencies subcommittee to the Foreign Operations subcommittee.
