But many last minute deals were made at higher levels, and I just read from AP via Yahoo.com: "Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who heads the Appropriations subcommittee in charge of labor, health and education programs, spoke of being excluded from final negotiations and said it was an ``oligarchy'' when such big decisions were made by so few." There were differences to be resolved between the House and Senate bills, and it will be a few days before we see what all came out of this. Phil Tompkins
