Pelosi Statement on the President's Veto of Labor HHS Appropriations Bill
Date:11/13/2007

r 2007 and the President's request for after-school programs.

-- Children with disabilities. The bill rejects the President's $291 million cut and instead provides an increase of $509 million over 2007 for Individuals with Disabilities Act. This investment reverses a two-year decline in the federal contribution toward the rising costs of special education for 6.9 million children with disabilities. Under the Republicans, the federal contribution for special education fell from 18.6 percent in 2005 to 17.2 percent in 2007, leaving states struggling to meet these costs.

-- College. With the $125 increase in this bill, the maximum Pell Grant for college will have been raised from $4,050 in 2006 to $4,925, an $875 increase under Congressional Democrats. This would benefit more than 5.5 million students.

-- Head Start. The Conference agreement rejects the Bush proposal to cut Head Start services for 13,500 kids and provides $254 million over Bush and $154 million over FY07.

-- Vocational and Career Education. Restores the President's 49 percent cut to vocational education - providing a $25 million increase over fiscal year 2007 - for grants to high schools and community colleges for technical training.

Better Health Care

-- Expanding health care/community health centers. To help the 46.6 million Americans without health insurance, the conference agreement enables community health centers to serve an additional 1.2 million uninsured Americans by investing 11 percent more than 2007 and the President's request.

-- New investments in life-saving medical research. Medical research at NIH offers hope to millions of American families - with groundbreaking research into diseases such as cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. For FY 2008, the President proposed a cut of $480 million below 2007. Instead, this bill provides an increase of $1.1 billion over 2007 - allowing NIH to support 1,400 more research grants than the Pr
