## NOAA Strategy

- Until guidance is formalized, continue to stress impact of House Mark to NOAA for full year CR

## House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittee Realigned

- The incoming Appropriations Chairman realigned the House and Senate appropriations subcommittees as one of their first acts.
- For the first time in two sessions, the House and Senate now have 12 parallel subcommittees, which will hopefully smooth the reconciliation process for the FY 2008 appropriations bill.
