SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment proposed to completely cut federal funding for the United States African Development Foundation, an agency that gives grants to small businesses and farmers in Africa. The Senate voted to 'table' the proposal, which effectively rejected the cut and kept the agency's funding in the budget.
§ 04
