House appropriators unveiled their funding plan for climate science, weather forecasting and fisheries Wednesday morning, proposing fresh cuts to a number of environmental and research programs.
The House’s fiscal 2027 Commerce-Justice-Science bill has a top line of $77.34 billion, a cut of about $670 million, or 1 percent, relative to the current level. NOAA and the National Science Foundation are among the agencies that the Republican majority is proposing to slash.
Appropriators also released their fiscal 2027 Legislative Branch bill, which funds the Government Accountability Office, the Congressional Budget Office and other needs on Capitol Hill.
House Appropriations subcommittees will likely vote to advance each of the bills Thursday morning. The full committee will do a more comprehensive markup with debate and amendment votes on May 13.
