Defense Department to fund lung cancer program
September 29th, 2008
Congress has approved $20 million for a new lung cancer research program at the Department of Defense.
President Bush is expected to sign the bill containing the new program, and the funding will be available in fiscal year 2009, which begins Oct. 1.
The bill requires the Army to provide a plan for how the $20 million will be spent and submit that plan to Congress within 120 days after the bill is signed.
