Five of the 13 bills spending bills still to be dealt with by Congress when it returns to work this week include provisions for funding various federal agencies efforts to participate in building the Next-Generation Internet. Government efforts will parallel the university-sponsored Internet 2 activities. The agencies will work directly with the Internet 2 project to help tie its high-performance campus backbones into the larger national infrastructure. Under President Clinton's proposed spending plan, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency would receive $40 million; the Energy Department $35 million; the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration $10 million each; and the National Institute of Standards and Technology $5 million. The National Library of Medicine has said it will also try to commit $5 million to the project. (Chronicle of Higher Education 5 Sep 97)
