Anti-terrorism funding boost

By a vote of 200 for and 227 against, the House on Wednesday rejected a GOP effort to boost spending in HR 264 for the Treasury Department's Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligen­ce, which combats terrorist financing in U.S. and internatio­nal financial systems, enforces economic sanctions and polices global money laundering. Republican­s sought to increase the office's 2019 budget by $2 million to $161 million. A yes vote was to increase the bill's anti-terrorism funding by about 1 percent.

Yes: Fitzpatric­k, Meuser

No: Dean, Houlahan, Wild, Cartwright
