§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment tried to prevent the government from canceling funding for 'Feed the Future,' a program that works on global food security and agricultural research. Because the amendment was rejected, the planned budget cuts to this program stayed in the final bill.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
3POINT 01
Attempted to save food security funding
The 'Feed the Future' program is designed to reduce global hunger and improve farming techniques.
POINT 02
Supported U.S. research
A portion of this funding typically goes to American universities and businesses for agricultural innovation.
POINT 03
Amendment failed in a close vote
The narrow 48-51 defeat shows a significant but insufficient level of support for protecting this specific category of international aid.
