In fact, the White House statement also criticizes the bill approved by the House Appropriations Committee because it would only partial fund NBAF.

"The partial funding provided in the bill will delay construction of NBAF, increase project costs, and leave a significant vulnerability unaddressed. Long-standing procurement policy prohibits incremental funding because it undermines program stability and runs counter to sound budgeting principles and fiscal discipline," the statement says.

can we get BSAC on it?

The politicians are not getting the backing of some of the groups that they want. If there is an accident, they want to be able to say, "<Insert the group here> said this was safe. I voted for it based upon all of the information that I had and their ringing endorsement." Those same politicians are feigning disgust over a potential delay because the majority of their base is for NBAF. Secretly, those politicians are glad that there is a snag. They are all a bunch of pussies.

Should this be called the PowerCatPlant, or just CatPlant?

Sorry if luked, but, wow.  Plum Island is uninhabitable, what would that do to Manhattan?

Did not know this

The Long Island daily newspaper Newsday earlier documented this biological warfare mission of Plum Island. In a lead story on November 21, 1993, Newsday investigative reporter John McDonald wrote: “A 1950s military plan to cripple the Soviet economy by killing horses, cattle and swine called for making biological warfare weapons out of exotic animal diseases at a Plum Island laboratory, now-declassified Army records reveal.” A facsimile of one of the records, dated 1951, covered the front page of that issue of Newsday.

The article went on: “Documents and interviews disclose for the first time what officials have denied for years: that the mysterious and closely guarded animal lab off the East End of Long Island was originally designed to conduct top-secret research into replicating dangerous viruses that could be used to destroy enemy livestock.”

The Joint Chiefs of Staff “found that a war with the U.S.S.R. would best be fought with conventional and nuclear means, and biological warfare against humans­not against food animals,” says “Lab 257.” “Destroying the food supply meant having to feed millions of starving Russians after winning a war”

Will they write these things about MHK in 50 years?

Containment and safety is a little different now than it was in the '50's.

i'm a bit worried about the hundreds of millionaire researchers driving lexus hybrids rather than SL500s. we need the streets of MHK to reflect our wealth, not concern for the environment.

Pat Roberts' opposition to the most recent spending bill is outrageous, yet also unsurprising.  rough ridin' politics.  In non-election years, he pimps the crap out of this project despite being a "small government," fiscally responsible republican.  Repeatedly criticizing Obama for cutting funding in past.  And now, in the 2014 election cycle, with the project on the verge of approval, this eff hole votes against the thing to "send a signal."     

“It gives me no pleasure to vote against a bill that includes an important project into which I have put my heart and soul and many hours of work,” Roberts said.

“But that vote was necessary to send a signal we can no longer afford unchecked spending as usual.”
