The U.S. Congress has yet to act on the bill that will contain LSC's FY 2008 appropriation.

The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies is expected to mark up the bill sometime after June 4, when the House reconvenes after the Memorial Day recess. The bill will then move to the full Appropriations Committee for approval and then to the full House, which will send its version of the bill to the Senate.

LSC has requested $430.7 million dollars for FY 2008, an $82.1 million increase over LSC's FY 2007 appropriation.
