Folks:

Here are the confirmed figures regarding the
Bee-Labs.  Confirmation was provided by
directors of Bee Labs themselves.

Location         Proposed            Proposed Funds
             Reduction           Transferred
             in Budget           to Weslaco, TX

Baton Rouge $1.14 million           $300,000
Beltsville  $1.63 million           $369,222
Tucson      $  354,384              $722,199
                --------------        -----------------
Totals      $3.12 million         $1.391421 million


To explain:

a) "Proposed Reduction in budget" is
   what is NOT funded in the proposed
   USDA budget.

b) "Funds Transferred" are in the
   in the proposed USDA budget, but
   these funds are currently allocated
   to Weslaco, and need to be transferred
   BACK to whence they came to avoid the
   additonal expenses of moving scientists
   and projects needlessly.

So, all that is really needed is a mere $3.12 million.

Sorry for being a million dollars high in my guess.
