On March 9, Congress approved $3,087,500 in funding specifically for the Bethesda BRAC intersections improvement project. Thanks go to Senators Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin and Congressman Chris Van Hollen.
This funding was part of an omnibus funding bill passed by the U.S. Senate (the House of Representatives approved the bill two weeks ago) that appropriates funds for most federal agencies through September 30, 2009 — the remainder of Fiscal Year 2009. This is funding that Congress should have completed at the beginning of FY2009 (October 1, 2008); having failed to do so until now, most federal agencies have been operating at FY2008 levels.
