It's all in the Timing

CAPITOL HILL Senate leaders expect 50 (b) billion dollars in cuts in transit security funds, which came just three weeks before London's bus and subway bombings, will be restored.
A top top budget aide to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist says that -- at a minimum -- that money will be restored as Congress returns this week from its July fourth break.

Indeed, there's pressure for a lot more money. New York Senator Charles Schumer promises to try to double the level of rail and subway security funds -- to 200 million (m) dollars --when the full Senate takes up bill.
