§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment tried to prevent some of the planned budget cuts to programs that support countries in Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia. Because the amendment failed by a single vote, the larger cuts to these aid programs remained in the final version of the law.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
3POINT 01
Attempted to reduce budget cuts
The goal was to keep more money in the 'Assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia' program than the President had proposed cutting.
POINT 02
Narrow failure
The amendment was rejected by just one vote, showing a significant divide in the Senate over these specific foreign aid cuts.
POINT 03
Original cuts kept intact
Because this attempt failed, the full amount of the planned funding cancellations for these regions went forward as part of the Rescissions Act.
