The Senate Appropriations Committee released the remaining nine appropriations bills for FY 22 yesterday afternoon.
Included in the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies bill was $182.5 million for the National Endowment for the Humanities. This is an increase of $15 million over FY 21 but falls short of the $201 million included in the House’s version of the bill.
The Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies bill includes $74.4 million for Title VI and $10.8 million for Fulbright-Hays. This represents an increase of $5 million for Title VI and $2 million for Fulbright-Hays over FY 21 but falls short of the $79.4 million for Title VI and $13.8 million for Fulbright-Hays included in the House bill. Additionally, the Labor-H bill included $282 million for the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This is an increase of $25 million over FY 21 and matches the House version of the bill.
The Financial Services and General Government bill includes $403.6 million for the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), $7.5 million of which has been allocated to the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). This represents an increase of $26 million for NARA and $1 million for NHPRC over FY 21. The funding increase for NARA matches the House version of the bill but falls short of the $9.5 million the House allocated to NHPRC.
We will be advocating for the House’s numbers where they are higher and will let you know when your advocacy is needed.
