It was regarding the National Security issue, and it was not Brit Hume specifically. A reporter covering the issue of vaccines, the Lilly Company and exemptions from lawsuits, etc. said that a new Bioterror Department would be included, probably at Texas A&M because of Phil Graham. However, there are at least a dozen sites which would be able to bid on it.
Nothing to do with security, but interesting.
Reminds me of when they decided to establish the National Earthquake Hazard Research Project (NEHRP) a few years ago. In part it was going to be funded by the National Science Foundation, and so the NSF wanted an increase in funding from Congress.
One of the Senators from New York State--which has pretty much ZERO earthquake threat--decided to go after the center somehow, and was able to bargain his vote for it, such that this was written into the funding.
So now instead of being located in, say, California where all the earthquake research is actually done, it's located in New York state!
