"SENATE PASSES FUNDING BILL WITH ARTS INCREASE; CONFERENCE FOLLOWS"
1999-09-23 until 0000-00-00
National Assembly of State Arts Agencies
Washington, DC, USA United States of America

Late in the evening on September 23, after approving a controversial measure to continue charging below-market royalties for oil pumped out of federal lands, the U.S. Senate voted final passage of the FY2000 Interior Appropriations Bill. The measure includes a $5 million increase for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and a $5 million increase for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), bringing NEA to a proposed funding level of $103 million and NEH to $115.7 million.

The measure goes now to a House-Senate conference committee, scheduled to begin on Monday, September 27, to reconcile the Senate's proposed increases with level funding for NEA and NEH contained in the bill passed by the House. Advocates are urging the House conferees to recede to the Senate's funding levels for NEA and NEH.
