The Senate is scheduled to vote on the FY’08 Labor-HHS bill on Monday 22 October (approved by the HR and the full Senate Appropriations Committee) that includes a provision to change the current voluntary NIH Public Access Policy to mandatory. On Friday 19 October, Senator Inhofe (R-OK) filed two amendments (3416 and 3417) which call for the removal of this provision in the LHHS bill which would limit the intent of the NIH Public Access Policy.
