Doesn’t mean jack. Senate will NOT pass it. If they truly had any cojones at all they would have put it in the CR.

I believe you are correct. As far as I know the only way the House alone can cut off NPR is to remove the appropriation from the budget, the Senate cannot put it back in.

.............with all due respect sir, I think you and several others above you are wrong on this and that is notwithstanding the fact that I could be wrong.

But, what this vote means to me is that U.S. House of Representatives, from which ALL spending authorization has to pass through, according to the Constitution we use to have and observe, has just voted to not authorize anymore money for you.

So, unless some future negotiation in a CR or elsewhere changes(restores NPR funding) that fact..........”you ain’t gonna get no more money!”

Bottom line is that a favorable House vote to authorize NPR money has to occur for NPR to continue to get money. As of this day and time, they have been told “NO!”......and dat’s good!!
