0:30Now PlayingA half century of US federal funding for public television and radio came crashing to an end as the House approved a $9 billion package of spending cuts inspired by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency task force.
The legislation passed by a vote of 216-213.
The Senate earlier Thursday cleared the measure on a 51 to 48 vote and it now heads to President Donald Trump for his signature. In addition to cutting $1.1 billion in public broadcasting funds, the bill ends a swath of foreign aid projects and closes the US Institute of Peace.
White House Budget Director Russell Vought said he planned to send more such fast-track measures to Congress, taking advantage of a rescissions procedure requiring just 50 votes to pass the Senate rather than the usual 60 for annual spending bills.
