The reason was rather banal - and important to know
Still doesn't explain why the CDC didn't step up and oppose the budget cut or try to explain the program to the committee.
I assume if they had then the committee member would have at least known what CFS was.Are you sure that they didn't?
I don't know how it works. I would think the agency would keep a sharp eye on it - I would think....Me either. It just seems crazy that the committee can completely zero out a budget line item with no input from the agency.
