SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE VOTES ON ARTS AND EDUCATION FUNDING -
On July 20, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved an FY 2007 spending bill that offered a $1.2 million increase for the Department of Education's Arts in Education programs.
The Committee also provided level funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). As you may recall, the House version of the bill threatens to totally eliminate funding for the Arts Education programs and cut CPB funding by 21 percent. We encourage you to write your Members of Congress and urge them to support the Senate Committee-offered funding levels for Arts Education and CPB.
