The sum is halfway between the $396 million set aside for the Legal Services Corp. in spending legislation the Democratic-controlled Senate passed Nov. 1 and the $300 million for the agency in the appropriations bill the Republican-controlled House Appropriations Committee approved July 13. The House is slated to vote on the compromise this week.

The agency is currently running under a $398 million budget Congress approved in a temporary appropriations measure for fiscal 2012. That amount is $6 million less than it got in fiscal 2011 and about $22 million less than it collected in fiscal 2010.
