Supplemental Budget Conference Committee Back at Work.  Higher Education Article Finished.  The conference committee on the omnibus supplemental appropriations bill re-convened at 12:45 PM.  It was past high noon, so Gary Cooper didn't stick around.  The higher education article has been approved--both money and language--which would seem to indicate that the budget targets for each of the areas covered in the bill have been reached.  That means a lot of things coming together throughout the day.  I will provide details as they become available.  Meanwhile, speaking of High Noon, how about a listen to "Do Not Forsake Me, O My Darlin'," the Oscar-winning song from the movie.  Don't worry, more "waiting" songs throughout the day.
