DOD and USDA

The Post this morning has an article on the completion of the reconstruction of the Pentagon. Took 17 years because they redid the structure without closing it down.  I mention this only because USDA's South Building is about 10 years older than the Pentagon and is also being renovated.  I don't know where they are with the project, but I did see the House ag appropriations process raided the USDA building fund for various favorite programs.

Wing 3 and 4 are remodeled and open. Wing 5 was recently completed and will be refilled soon. Nothing on wings 1, 2, 6 and 7.

If the House appropriations bill goes through unchanged, which it won't, the four wings won't get worked on anytime soon. Building maintenance and renovation is not sexy.
