Senate Subcommittee Acts on
Agriculture Appropriations Bill
|
|
To Members of the NASULGC System:
The Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee marked up its
F.Y. 2005 bill today. The markup occurred with little advance notice
and no fanfare. No paper was distributed... not even to
subcommittee members. Details are still sketchy and there is no
information about when the full Appropriations Committee or the
full Senate may act on this bill.
Here are the only numbers that we have been able to obtain
so far:
| National Research Initiative |
$183,000,000 |
| Hatch |
180,148,000 |
| McIntire-Stennis |
23,000,000 |
| Evans-Allen |
36,000,000 |
| Smith-Lever 3(b) and 3(c) |
277,742,000 |
| EFNEP |
58,000,000 |
| 1890s Extension |
32,117,000 |
| 1890s Facilities (Sec. 1447) |
14,912,000 |
| RREA |
4,093,000 |
We will provide further details as soon as we have them. We do
not know when we may be able to obtain a full list of line
items and amounts. However, we will be certain to send them to you
once they are in our hands.
