Description: Mollohan (D-WV) amendment to increase by $109 million the $141 million provided in the bill for the Legal Services Corporation (LSC). The amendment would offset this increase by reducing funding for several programs, including the assets forfeiture fund, the federal prison system, the Patent and Trademark Office, judicial services, diplomatic and consular programs, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. This breaks the budget agreement reached just last year, which called for a two-year phaseout of the LSC.
