Like the earlier iteration of this bill, *H.R. 2028 of 4/24/16, this version would provide funding for Army Corps of Engineers’ civil works projects, the Dept. of the Interior, the Dept. of Energy, and several independent agencies, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Of the 6 relevant amendments submitted during the House’s consideration of this bill in 5/2016, 2 were approved: the first, offered by Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and approved in a 251–168 vote, would prohibit any funds appropriated in the bill from being used to purchase heavy water from Iran; the second, offered by Brian Babin (R-TX) and agreed to by voice vote, would prohibit any funds appropriated in the bill from being used to provide any contracts or federal assistance to Iran.
