Info about the riders in the House Republican Budget Resolutions

[CreekDog]

Read the actual House Resolution for the actual text because it explains what they are refusing to fund, for example:

"Sec. 4038. None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to implement, establish, or create a NOAA Climate Service (NCS) as described in the ‘Draft NOAA Climate Service Strategic Vision and Framework’ published at 75 Fed. Reg. 57739 (September 22, 2010) and updated on December 20, 2010."

To see the "riders" begin on page 155 of the PDF (below):

http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=112_cong_bills&docid=f:h1pcs.txt.pdf (there are 200+ pages of "riders")

Or you can view the text at the following link (but only the PDF has page numbers --so search the text for "Sec. 1101" and it should lead you to that section.)
