FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Nov 06, 2007

Dear Colleagues:

Last night House and Senate conferees filed the conference report on H.R. 3043, the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations bill for Fiscal 2008. The conference bill recommends $873.9 million for the Corporation and its programs. The House is scheduled to take up the bill today, and the Senate will follow quickly after.

The budget section of our website has been updated to include the conference report statutory language and explanatory statement, and you can find an updated budget chart that shows a breakdown of the amounts in the bill. We’ll keep you informed of further developments.

In Service,

David Eisner
