On July 11, 2007, the House Appropriations Committee cleared its Labor, Health and Human Services and Education fiscal year (FY) 2008 budget bill.

The Committee approved $119.79 million for the Teaching American History grants program at the U.S. Department of Education, the same amount as in FY ’07. This amount is $210,000 less than approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee, but is $69.79 million more than the President’s request.
