      "title": "Appropriations for FY2000: District of Columbia",
      "summary": "On November 29, 1999, President Clinton signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act for\nFY2000,\nformerly  H.R. 3194 , into law as  P.L. 106-113 . The Act appropriates funds for the\nDistrict of Columbia, Division A of the act, and four other appropriation measures, Division B of the\nact, including: Commerce, Justice, State, Judiciary; Foreign Operation Appropriations; Interior\nAppropriations; and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations for FY2000.\nDivision B of  P.L. 106-113 , also includes a section governing Miscellaneous Appropriations, and\nprovisions amending the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, State Department authorization, milk\nsupports, and intellectual properties. As originally forwarded to the conference committee,\n H.R. 3194  provided appropriations for FY2000 solely for the District of Columbia. The\nHouse approved the conference measure on November 18, 1999, and the Senate approved the\nmeasure on November 19, 1999.\n  Division A of  P.L. 106-113  is the third District of Columbia Appropriations Act for FY2000\nconsidered by Congress. The Act includes $436 million in special federal payments to the District\nof Columbia. This is slightly higher than the amount included in the vetoed version of\n H.R. 3064  ($429 million) and  H.R. 2587  ($430 million). The difference\nis $6.7 million in federal funds for the environmental cleanup of the Lorton Correctional Facility.\n  On November 3, 1999, President Clinton vetoed  H.R. 3064 , which included funds\nfor the District of Columbia and the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and\nEducation for FY2000. On September 28, 1999, the President vetoed  H.R. 2587 ,\nCongress' first attempt to appropriate funds for the District of Columbia for FY2000. District\nofficials urged the President to veto  H.R. 2587 , because of the inclusion of several so\ncalled \"social rider\" provisions. They characterized the provisions as assaults on the city's limited\nhome rule.  P.L. 106-113  includes many of the social riders contained in  H.R. 2587  and\n H.R. 3064 . The Act includes provisions that prohibit:\n   the use of federal or local funds to establish and maintain a needle exchange\nprogram, but would allow the private financing of needle exchange programs;   \n   the District from decriminalizing the use of marijuana and implementing\nInitiative 59 governing medical marijuana;  \n   the use of federal or District funds to finance a court challenge aimed at\nsecuring congressional voting representation in the House and Senate for District residents, but \nwould allow the city's corporation counsel to review and comment on private lawsuits filed on behalf\nof citizens of the District of Columbia;  \n   the use of federal or District funds for abortions except in cases or rape, incest,\nor the mother's health is endangered; and  \n   the implementation of a domestic partners act passed in 1992 that would extend health,\nemployment, and other benefits and protections to unmarried, cohabiting, heterosexual or\nhomosexual couples.",
