This morning, President Bush vetoed H.R. 3043, a spending bill that would have provided funding for NIH's National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) and the Department of Education's Mathematics and Science Partnership Program for the fiscal year that started in October. The bill would have provided nearly $10 billion more across all funded programs than the president requested. "It will be difficult to secure enough votes in the House to override the President's veto," writes Richard Jones in "FYI" from the American Institute of Physics. "These and other programs for which funding bills have not been passed are being funded through a continuing resolution which runs until December 14."
