WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congress approved on Tuesday a compromise spending bill that sets the 2010 fiscal-year budgets for the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities at $167.5 million each, a $25-million total increase over 2009's allotments. For the NEA, this means a 3.8 percent increase over the $161.3 million President Obama approved in the budget; the NEH amount falls slightly short of the requested $171.3 million.
