If the Open Access News blog is so full of news these days that
you can't read every item, then let me draw special attention to
this one from yesterday:

Victory for the NIH plan in the House 

By an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 388-13 the House of
Representatives tonight adopted the appropriations  bill for the
Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education,
and related agencies (H.R. 5006).  The bill includes the
directive to the NIH to develop an open-access plan by December
1, 2004.  On to the  Senate!
