I went back to the site I mentioned earlier - and found some additional information. This text was from the Conference Report as printed in the Congressional Record of 10/19/98. According to my husband, there could still be changes in the final version of the Public Law. THOMAS (http://thomas.loc.gov) now shows the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1999 will be P.L. 105-277. (I prefer to call it the Ominous Appropriations Act). We tried to view the text, but at this time it wasn't available - hopefully by tomorrow it will be. If anyone does want to look at the Congressional Record text, the NIH section is under pages H11350-11400. The NINDS section is from H11394 and the Office of the Director is H11395. You can also get to this from the THOMAS home page. Also the House Appropriations Committee News site provides an Excel Spreadsheet of the appropriations - but funding for PD research was not indicated.
