The Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies met briefly today to markup their FY 2010 spending bill. The bill includes a total of $161.3 million for both the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts, an increase of $6.3 million above the 2009 enacted level for each agency.
Last week, the full House Appropriations Committee included $170 million for the NEH and NEA in their spending bill. The full Senate Appropriations Committee is scheduled to markup on Thursday, June 25.
