      "summary": "On February 7, 2000, the President submitted his FY2001 budget request which included nearly\n$7\nbillion for the Department of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors. This represented an\nincrease of $661.5 million (or 10.5%) from the FY2000 enacted level which Congress had passed\nin an omnibus bill on November 19, 1999; the President had signed it into law ( P.L. 106-113 ) on\nNovember 29, 1999.\n Earlier, the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1999 ( P.L. 105-277 , section 1001)\nhad required the foreign policy agencies to be reorganized before FY2000. Subsequently, the Arms\nControl and Disarmament Agency (ACDA) merged its functions into the Department of State, and\nthe U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) reorganized and came directly under the\nauthority of the Secretary of State as of April 1, 1999. The U.S. Information Agency (USIA)\nconsolidated its information and exchange functions into the Department of State, while as of\nOctober 1, 1999 the broadcasting functions became an independent agency referred to as the\nBroadcasting Board of Governors (BBG).\n The Administration's FY2001 request would have: 1) provided more than $1 billion for\nworldwide security upgrades at U.S. facilities, 2) continued increasing the capital investment fund,\nand 3) increased U.S. Contributions to the U.N.'s International Organizations (CIO) and its U.N.\nContributions to International Peacekeeping (CIPA) funds. In addition, the international\nbroadcasting budget request of $6.96 billion represented a 6.3% increase over the FY2000 level.\n The House Commerce, Justice, State (CJS) Appropriations Subcommittee reported out its\nversion of the CJS FY2001funding legislation on June 6, 2000. The full House Appropriations\nCommittee reported out its version on June 15th. The bill ( H.R. 4690 ) was formally\nintroduced on June 19, 2000. House floor action occurred on June 22nd and 23rd; the House passed\nthe bill (214-195-1) on June 26, 2000 after agreeing to transfer $10 million out of State and into the\nLegal Services Corp. The House funding level for the State Department and international\nbroadcasting totaled $6.55 billion.\n The Senate Appropriations Committee reported their version of  H.R. 4690  on July\n18, 2000. The Senate Committee recommended no significant increase in worldwide security\nupgrade funding, but a 30% increase in the Capital Investment Fund and 10% increase in exchange\nprograms. The Senate Committee recommended a total FY2001 funding level of $6.56 billion for\nState and international broadcasting.\n On October 27, 2000, Congress approved the CJS conference report ( H.R. 4942 ;\n H.Rept. 106-1005 ). The President signed the measure into law on December 21, 2000\n( H.R. 5548  as contained in the conference report on  H.R. 4942 ;  P.L.\n106-553 ).\n This is the final update of this report.",
