To Members of the NASULGC System:
House and Senate Appropriators have agreed upon the terms of a
Continuing Resolution for the remainder of F.Y. 2007. The
Resolution was filed yesterday by Rep. David Obey (D-MN) chair
of the House Appropriations Committee.
As you are aware from prior communications, the CR funds most
departments, agencies, and accounts of the federal government
— including USDA and CSREES
— at their F.Y. 2006 funding levels.
However, the CR contains no earmarks, and some $126.9
million in "special grants" and $58.1 million in "federal administration"
(compared to F.Y. 2006) are not included within the CR.
However, this $185 million has not been lost! Through the
hard work of the NASULGC system, Congress has retained these
funds within the CSREES budget, providing one-time increases for
Hatch, McIntire-Stennis, Evans-Allen, NRI, 1994s Research, 1890s
Capacity Building, 1994s Research, Smith-Lever 3(b) and 3(c),
EFNEP, 1994s Extension, Indian Reservation Agents, 1890
Facilities, 1890s Extension. (In addition, all of the Integrated
Activities line items were funded at 2006 levels.)
