Josh Brecheen (R-OK). Rep. Brecheen&#8217;s amendments would have <a href=\"https:\/\/americanorchestras.org\/house-amendment-would-reduce-nea-funding-by-25\/\"><strong>made significantly deeper cuts<\/strong><\/a> to the budgets of both agencies, in addition to the Subcommittee&#8217;s recommendation for an approximately $4M decrease. The full chamber passed the Interior bill with a recommendation for $203.895M for the NEA and NEH. While a recorded vote was not requested for the NEA amendment&#8217;s defeat, bipartisan support is detailed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/clerk.house.gov\/Votes\/2024386\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>recorded vote on the NEH amendment<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Action now turns to the Senate, which will consider its own Interior bill that includes an Appropriations Committee recommendation of $209M each for the NEA and NEH, a slight increase from current funding and just shy of the Administration&#8217;s proposal for FY25. With the Senate scheduled to adjourn for more than a month beginning August 3, now is a good time to weigh in to urge your Senators to support robust funding for the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you communicate via our updated <a href=\"https:\/\/americanorchestras.org\/learn\/advocate\/contact-congress-today\/?vvsrc=%2fcampaigns%2f44585%2frespond\"><strong>e-campaign in support of the NEA<\/strong><\/a> or have plans to <a href=\"https:\/\/americanorchestras.org\/2024-calendar-of-opportunities-118th-congress-2nd-session\/\"><strong>meet with your officials in person<\/strong><\/a> during the August recess, please be sure to speak up about the value of the arts in your community!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After supportive remarks by Interior Subcommittee Chair Mike Simpson (R-ID) and Ranking Member Chellie Pingree (D-ME) on behalf of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the House defeated a pair of amendments offered by Rep.
