This supplemental request would provide supplemental funding for
Pell grants to support a $4,000 maximum award in 2002. The 2002
appropriations act created a serious fiscal problem by under-funding the
Pell grant program. While the act mandated a Pell grant maximum award of
$4,000, it failed to provide resources for the Pell grant program
commensurate with the maximum award. The act provided only enough
funding to pay for a maximum award of $3,600, creating a shortfall of
nearly $1.3 billion. This supplemental request would fully fund the
mandated maximum award for 2002.
GENERAL PROVISION
(Supplemental now requested, existing legislation)
Of the amounts made available in the Departments of Labor, Health
and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations
Act, 2002, $1,276,000,000 is hereby canceled: Provided, That such
amounts shall be derived from amounts appropriated for projects or
activities that were not included in the President's Budget transmitted
to Congress on April 9, 2001.
This provision would cancel funding for amounts appropriated for
unrequested earmarks and low-priority programs in the 2002
appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services,
and Education. The 2002 appropriations act provided over $2 billion for
programs and projects that were not requested by the Administration in
the President's Budget, while under-funding the Pell grant program. The
Administration will provide Congress with a listing of such programs and
projects and expects that Congress will select from this list in
enacting a cancellation of $1,276 million to offset the Pell grant
shortfall.
