In the DoT appropriations bill passed last week and passed to the President,
Congress cut the $17 million DoT/FAA said they needed to start work on adding
the new civil signals on the next batch of satellites.
Congress also cut the FAA WAAS budget next year to $80 million from about
$110 million.
The full text of the bill is available from Thomas -- the Congressional Web
server at <http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/R?cp106:FLD010@1(hr355):>
