NASA appropriations news

According to a report by Congressional Quarterly (hidden far behind a subscription wall) conferees have finished up work reconciling the House and Senate versions of the Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bill, which includes NASA; it could be voted on in the House as early as Wednesday. No details yet about what the bill contains for NASA, other than it does specifically fund a shuttle repair mission to Hubble.

Update 11/9 7:30 am: The Huntsville Times has a few more details, but primarily focuses on local programs and earmarks, including $25 million for an office building at MSFC. The top-level budget figure, $16.5 billion, is what most everyone expected given what the House and Senate approved earlier this year.
