Senate Panel to Mark Up HHS
Spending Bill
July 12, 2002 - The Senate Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations
Subcommittee is tentatively scheduled to mark up its FY 2003
spending bill on July 16 amid speculation that this bill may
be tied to the defense appropriations bill. The bill will
reportedly go to the full Appropriations Committee on July
18.
There are reports that the Labor-HHS bill will be tied somehow
to the defense spending bill to force the White House to either
veto the package or accept more funding for programs under
the Labor-HHS subcommittee's jurisdiction than had been requested.
The President's FY 2003 budget called for $129.9 billion for
the Labor-HHS subcommittee. The Senate allocation for the
subcommittee is $134.0 billion.
No date has been set for House consideration of the Labor-HHS
bill.
