Thank you for contacting me regarding the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (Labor-HHS) appropriations bill. It is good to hear from you.
I understand your concerns about the funding for the Labor-HHS appropriations bill. Congress has consistently increased funding for the Labor-HHS appropriations bill over the last several years from $412 bi llion in fiscal year 2002 to $5 4 6 billion in fiscal year 2007, which is nearly a 33 percent increase in overall spending.
The Labor-HHS Conference report included $608.9 billion in total budget authority for fiscal year 2008. On November 8, 2007, the Conference report passed Congress, but was subsequently vetoed by the President on November 13, 2007. I will keep your thoughts in mind as the Senate continues through the appropriations process.
