The Senate and House have chosen their individual conferees to work out the differences between the two versions of the Stimulus package.
As I mentioned earlier the Senate passed their $838 billion bill this afternoon. Included in the package is $10 billion in funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Conference is expected to move fast. House and Senate leaders would like to have a compromised bill worked out by tomorrow.
Conferees:
House
Dave Obey (D-WI)
Charlie Rangel (D-NY)
Henry Waxman (D-CA)
Jerry Lewis (R-CA)
Dave Camp (R-MI)
Senate
Max Baucus (D-MT)
