      "summary": "The Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations bill includes funding for agencies and programs\nin five separate federal departments as well as numerous smaller agencies and diverse programs. \n  On February 2, 1998, the President submitted his FY1999 budget to Congress. The request for\nInterior and Related Agencies totals $14.26 billion compared to the $13.79 billion enacted for\nFY1998 ( P.L. 105-83 ), an increase of $470 million. The actual increase for Title I and Title II\nagencies in the FY1999 request is $1.17 billion, offset by a nonrecurring appropriation of $699\nmillion for priority land acquisitions and exchanges in Title V of the FY1998 Interior Appropriations\nAct. However, the Emergency Supplemental ( P.L. 105-174 ) increased the FY1998 enacted level to\na total of $14.1 billion.\n  On June 25, 1998, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees reported versions of the\nFY1999 Interior Appropriations bill. On July 23, the House passed  H.R. 4193  by a vote\nof 245-181, and increased funding by $60 million to $13.49 billion. The House-passed bill is $800\nmillion below the President's request and $700 million below FY1998. During the debate on\n H.R. 4193 , the House voted 253-173 to restore $98 million for the National Endowment\nfor the Arts (NEA) following a point of order deleting the funds since NEA had no program\nauthorization.\n  The House and Senate totals reflect scorekeeping adjustments (see  Table 3 ). \n Before these\nadjustments, the Senate bill ( S. 2237 ) is $168 million more than the House bill. Changes\nfrom the House bill include: $1.2 billion for the Bureau of Land Management (+ $20 million), $797.3\nmillion for the Fish and Wildlife Service (+ $52.5 million), $1.66 billion for the National Park Service\n(+ $55.5 million), $1.71 billion for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (- $11.5 million), $2.62 billion for the\nForest Service (+ $99.7 million), $1.25 billion for the Department of Energy (+ $18.4 million), and\n$2.25 billion for the Indian Health Service (- $94 million). \n  On September 8, the Senate began debate on  S. 2237 . On September 17, further\naction on the bill was suspended in favor of other legislative business. The Office of Management\nand Budget, in a Statement of Administration Policy, suggested the President might veto the bill in\nits then-current form.\n  On October 19, following a series of temporary continuing resolutions, a conference report\n( H.Rept. 105-825 ) was submitted on  H.R. 4328 , the Omnibus Consolidated and\nEmergency Supplemental Appropriations for FY1999. The total for Interior and Related Agencies\nwas $14.1 billion, matching FY1998 (including the Emergency Supplemental) and higher than passed\nthe House or reported to the Senate. The conference report and the bill passed the House on October\n20 and the Senate on October 21, and was signed as  P.L. 105-277  by the President on October 21.",
