Important Senate Hearing of the Labor, HHS Subcommittee chaired by
Tom Harkin. Also present were Sens. Spector, Byrd, and Stevens. Hearing on smallpox.
I was able to communicate to Specter that NIAID was not allowed to put in a request in the $1.6 billion supplement of DHHS for bioterrorism. In other words we needed $153.7 million additional to the PB, but we were not allowed to submit for the supplement by OMB. I “busted” the budget by telling Specter after the Hearing what we needed. He promised to put it into our appropriation.
