Tucked into an emergency-appropriations bill for homeland security is $2 million to ensure the safe storage of the Smithsonian's National Worm Collection and other specimens preserved in alcohol.

The little-noticed provision was added to the pending Senate bill, which President Bush requested for the war on terrorism. Smithsonian officials said they need a safe place to store their collections.
