House Appropriators Provide Full DOE Office of Science Request
The House Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee met today to mark-up their FY 2007 funding bill. A subcommittee press release states:
“The bill fully funds the American Competitiveness Initiative which would strengthen basic research by increasing funding for the DOE Office of Science, for a total of $4.132 billion. In addition, the bill supports the Advanced Energy Initiative by increasing funding for a variety of clean energy technologies, including biomass, hydrogen, solar, wind, and clean coal.”
The full House Appropriations Committee is due to vote on this bill next week (tentatively May 16), after which the committee report language will be released. A forthcoming FYI will excerpt this report language.
The Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee (http://appropriations.house.gov/ ) is chaired by Rep. David Hobson (R-OH); the Ranking Minority Member is Rep. Peter Visclosky (D-IN).
