SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment proposed to cut $350 million in funding for a government energy research agency (ARPA-E) and move that money into an account for reducing the national debt. The proposal failed in a House vote, so the funding for the energy agency remains in the bill for now.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
