*House
Bill Surfaces that Would* Eliminate *the NHPRC *

Recently a draft bill surfaced in the House which included a provision to
eliminate the National Historical Publications and Records Commission
(NHPRC).

On July 21, the House Oversight and Government Reform (OGR) Committee had
been expected to consider legislation to address the massive employee
records data breach at the Office of Personnel Management. The costs
associated with implementing the bill require an offset elsewhere in the
federal budget.

It is expected the Oversight Committee will consider the bill after Labor
Day when it returns from its August recess. NCH is closely monitoring the
situation and will post developments via our social media, newsletter and
website. NCH will obviously mount a vigorous campaign to oppose the bill
and when appropriate you will be sent a legislative alert concerning on how
to contact your Members of Congress. Read more...

*2016 Fiscal Year Federal Funding Update*

The fiscal year 2016 appropriations process in Congress has broken down
despite a burst of momentum over the past six weeks. For the first time in
six years, both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees completed
action on the twelve funding bills before the August recess. In fact, the
House was able to pass six appropriations bills.

The chart below shows the current status level of funding of programs of
interest to our community. The number shown reflects the furthest that
agency’s budget has gotten through the process. For example, some bills
have passed the House, while none of the Senate bills have been considered
on the floor. As you can see most programs are level funded. So while these
are not the final budget numbers one should not expect these to change
much. Read more...
