The Senate's substitute amendment to the House-passed continuing resolution (HR 933) kept total pre-sequester discretionary appropriations nearly level while making $1.15 billion worth of changes to the amounts for individual bills. The Interior-Environment bill took the biggest hit in the Senate amendment, while transportation and housing programs saw the greatest increase in appropriations.
