Subject: CEF Update: 9.6.2017 - Labor-HHS-Education mark-up today
<
· What to expect at today’s Senate Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittee markup – This morning at 11:00am the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee is marking up its fiscal year 2018 education funding bill (the audio cast will be here), but we don’t expect that the bill text will be made available or any amendments offered today. We hear that tomorrow, when the full Appropriations Committee marks up the bill, we’ll get the first look at the legislative text and the amendments that will be offered. Keep in mind that the bill text includes funding levels at the account level, not the program level. That means we likely may not know what the bill provides for each program until the Committee publishes its report. Of course, we’ll share any information as soon as we have it.
