How can something that doesn’t exist be irreversible.

And then came political agenda....

Solomon, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo.,is attempting to justify her budget to the new President and the Democrat controlled Congress.

Right now is a critical time in the normal budget cycle ~ this is when they submit their capital requests for the next fiscal year ~ Feb/March. If Solomon wants her office redecorated at a cost of more than $10,000 (or whatever the current amount is) she needs this special approval. If she wants a new building, or an extra satellite, she has to submit the request now, and get it approved for inclusion in the appropriations NEXT YEAR.

Operating budget items follow a different time-track.
