The Knesset continued to debate the 2001 Budget Bill and its accompanying Arrangements Bill today. The final vote was postponed from last night when MK Nachum Langental suddenly discovered that 20 million shekels that had been earmarked for religious-Zionist educational institutions had been erased from the budget. Last-minute problems arose for the coalition this afternoon in amassing the necessary votes for the budget\'s approval and in preventing private bills from being attached to the budget bill.
