S 1298 Status – 06-18-09

Sen. Byrd introduced the FY2010 DHS budget bill, S 1298, yesterday. The Senate Appropriations Committee also has filed their report, S 111-31, on the legislation. Both are available on the GPO web site (accessed via www.Thomas.LOC.gov). I am not going to bother trying to do a line-by-line comparison of the two budgets. It just takes too long with documents of this size and complexity. Besides we still have amendments to be made on the floor, at least, and perhaps yet in committee.
