H RES 375 TO CONTROL NON-DISCRETIONARY SPENDING

663 28-Jul H RES 375 On Agreeing to the Resolution P Providing for consideration of S. 627, to establish the Commission on Freedom of Information Act Processing Delays, and for other purposes


FIRST-YEAR CUTS. The bill would provide
caps on non-emergency discretionary spending for FY 2012-2021. The cap for FY
2012 would be $1.043 trillion, which is a $7 billion reduction
compared to FY 2011.  The House’s appropriations process has been on
course to reduce such spending by $31 billion, a number which many RSC
Members felt was insufficient (The RSC budget would have reduced this
spending by $71 billion).   Per the bill, the discretionary cap for
FY 2012 is $24 billion above the current FY 2012 House appropriations.

Passed. Republicans 238 yes Nd zero no.
Democrats. Zero yes and 178 no.
