Live House Debate on $1.45 Billion for 2007
Share
The $1.45 billion increase for extreme poverty funding in 2007 (as part of the continuing resolution) is currently being debated on the House floor. You can watch it live online on C-Span here.
The vote will follow.
(NOTE: After further scrubbing of the numbers we found $1.45 billion in extreme poverty funding in this bill, instead of the $1.3 billion we posted on the blog yesterday. The figure, which includes increases for AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and refugee programs in 2007, went beyond both our expectations and initial assessment.)
