H.R. 2673Consolidated Appropriations
On December 8, 2003, the House passed the conference report for H.R. 2673, the Agriculture
Appropriations, FY 2004 (now known as the Omnibus Appropriations bill for FY 2004) by a vote of
242 to 176. The Appropriations Conference Committee filed the conference report for H.R. 2673 on
November 25. This bill contains Government-wide funding provisions for seven separate
appropriations bills including Labor, Health and Human Services (H.R. 2660), which funds NIH;
Transportation and Treasury (H.R. 2989); Foreign Operations (H.R. 2800); Commerce-Justice-State
(H.R. 2799); District of Columbia (H.R. 2765); Veterans, Housing and Urban Development (H.R.
2861); and Agriculture (H.R. 2673). If the bill is enacted, NIH would receive $27.982 billion, $1
billion more than FY 2003. Also included is a 0.59 percent across the board cut that applies to non-
defense programs. The bill includes a 2.2 percent program evaluation tap as proposed by the Senate.
Until the Senate takes up this measure, Federal agencies that would be funded through this Omnibus
measure will operate at FY 2003 levels as provided for in P.L. 108-135, through January 31, 2004.
