Happy Election Day!

Congress on Saturday sent a Continuing Resolution (CR) to the President for his signature. This bill will keep the Government running until March 2009. The total cost of the bill, which was approved by a 78 – 12 vote in the Senate, has a price tag of $634 billion.
The Senate Appropriations Committee has released initial details on the second, domestic supplemental they are currently crafting. It appears the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will be provided with an additional $500 million under the legislation, the same amount C3 has been advocating for.
