Senators call for increased funding in FY 2016 budget

摘要

Twenty-six senators, led by Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.) and Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.), on August 13 sent a letter to the director of the Office of Management and Budget, Shaun Donovan, asking the Obama administration to seek increased funding for non-proliferation efforts in its next (fiscal year 2016) budget proposal. The letter, according to its authors, was prompted by concern over the administration's budget proposals of recent years, which have requested decreased funding levels for such efforts.
