A Budget Bouillabaisse.

This article reports that several U.S. science agencies will have new congressional budget bosses this year after the U.S. House of Representatives last week rearranged its spending panels in hopes of streamlining operations. If the Senate doesn't follow suit, however, the misalignment could result in a more chaotic 2006 budget cycle. The Environmental Protection Agency joins a panel that includes the Interior Department's U.S. Geological Survey. The National Institutes of Health is unaffected by the reshuffling. Senator Christopher Bond could lose his gavel if the Senate follows suit.
