CERP UPDATE: Maj. Sean Bannion emails:

I sat in a CPA hosted conference here in Baghdad today and the budget guy, an OMB type, stated that there was 180M for CERP for FY 2004 as part of the supplemental. Heard it with my own ears.

Only catch, it’s for both Iraq and Afghanistan — exact split to be determined.

I still say it’s a win.

Sounds good to me.
