Summary of Amendments Made in Order Under the Rule to
H.R. 2216 – Supplemental Appropriations Act for FY 2001

PART A – AMENDMENT CONSIDERED AS ADOPTED

Young (FL) - Deletes the Employment and Training Administration Training and Employment Services rescission.

PART B – AMENDMENT MADE IN ORDER

Toomey/Flake/Tancredo - Deletes the $389 million rescission in FEMA Disaster Relief Funds. Enacts an across-the-board cut in Fiscal Year 2001 non-defense discretionary spending of 0.33%. The across-the board reduction achieves savings of approximately $1 billion, sufficient to offset the non-defense, non-Veterans portions of the supplemental not currently offset and to replace the savings achieved through the FEMA rescission. The rescission is based on the same language used to implement the 0.38% across-the-board cut in Fiscal Year 2000.
