Funding looking up for science?

I don't know where the money is earmarked for...
I have a feeling it is not for basic science research though :(

A proposed 10-year doubling of the research budgets at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) got off on the right foot today as a House spending panel adopted the president's 2007 request for both agencies. Even more striking, however, was the panel's decision to curb its appetite for pork--special appropriations from individual legislators for projects in their home districts.
