House Passes $2 billion for MCC

Posted by Sheila Herrling at 09:56 AM

On June 9, by a vote of 373 to 34, the House passed a $21.3 billion FY07 foreign operations bill, $2 billion of which is funding for the MCC. The overall bill is about 10% less than the President requested and 3% more than approved in FY06. The MCC approval is $1 billion less than the President requested, but not an entirely bad outcome for the MCC (see my earlier posting).
