I agree with Edie. You could find thousands of $100 mm examples of items in that budget that would make you scratch your head. This whole thing just further emphasizes how ridiculous it is for them to not come up with the funds for us - especially when we all know the true cost is going to be zero if the proposed research is successful. I don't think we should pick on other people's successes in our fight with Congress - bound to step on some toes. B.
