Science Supplemental Spending Passes Congress

by steve|Published June 27, 2008|3 comments

It was a long road, but the Congress has now approved the Iraq war spending bill. Both houses have now approved the final version of the spending bill, which presumably goes to the President for either a veto or a signature. News sources [1] [2] report that the bill contains a total of $400 million for science programs, including $62.5 for the Department of Energy’s Office of Science.

If anyone can find the breakdown of the remaining $337.5 million, I’d be curious.

Thanks, ChemMan, for posting the link to the bill text. I tried finding anything about science, ITER, Fermilab, etc. in the bill. I can up empty. Anybody else find anything? I was looking at the version as approved by both the Senate and House (version 6 of the document).

I see the problem. You posted the 2007 supplemental. Here is the 2008 one:
