"SENATE BEGINS NEA MONEY DEBATE -- DEFEATS MOTION TO ELIMINATE ARTS DOLLARS"
1999-08-05 until 1999-08-05
National Assembly of State Arts Agencies
Washington, DC, USA United States of America

On Thursday, August 5, the Senate considered the FY00 Interior Appropriations Bill, and soundly defeated a motion by Sen. Robert Smith (R-NH) to eliminate funds for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). The Smith proposal was tabled by a vote of 80-16.

Following the action endorsing federal spending on the arts, the Senate put aside the Interior money bill and turned its attention to the final House-Senate agreement on tax cut legislation. It is uncertain whether the Senate will get back to the Interior bill before breaking for the August recess on Friday, August 6. A bipartisan group of senators, including Sens. Thad Cochran (R-MS), Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) and Jack Reed (D-RI) are planning to propose an amendment to increase funds for the NEA. >
