Extractions: HOUSE PREVAILS IN CUTTING EDUCATION BELOW SENATE BILL AND THE PRESIDENT'S REQUEST: Final FY2005 Education Budget Fails to Make Promised Investments in Education Improvement On November 20, as part of a $388 billion omnibus bill that includes almost the entire domestic budget for fiscal year 2005, Congress approved $56.58 billion in funding for the U.S. Department of Education. The total for education programs is $920 million more than that allocated last year. However, it is $760 million less than the amount requested by President Bush earlier this year, and $2.27 billion less than the total approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee just two months ago. The final bill, which includes funding for thirteen government departments and dozens of domestic agencies, passed the House of Representatives by a 344 to 51 margin and a 65 to 30 vote in the Senate. President Bush is expected to sign the bill. In total, funding for domestic programs grew only 1 percent over last year, giving a victory both to fiscal conservatives, who sought to control domestic spending in order to reduce the deficit, and to the president, who had threatened to veto the bill if spending grew by more than that percentage. But while a number of programs were cut or eliminated, the omnibus bill included significant funding for the pet projects of individual members. For example, the bill provided up to $2 million to buy a former presidential yacht for a navy museum, according to the Washington Post.
