FY08 House Markups

Yesterday, the House Energy and Water Subcommittee reported its FY08 markups which contain $245.5 million for the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), a 20% increase above the Administration-reduced 2007 program.

We are very grateful to Chairman Visclosky (D-IN) and Ranking Member Hobson (R-OH) for their recognition of the WAP through these critical funds for FY08.

We will now turn our attention to the Senate and keep you apprised as further developments come to light.
