We received a call from Rep. Cliff Stearns office this morning that they were planning to offer an amendment to the DOD bill that is being debated on the House floor today (and probably tomorrow and maybe Friday). His amendment proposed adding $16m to the PCRP to bring the total back to $80m (level funding with last year). The amendment passed by voice vote.
I will let you all know once the House completes its business with the Defense bill and then we will watch to see what they do on the Senate side.
