Subject: RE: BS: You and the stimulus plan
The closest I've been able to find for a "final" bill is the bill sent back to both houses by the Conference Committee. That should be close to what at least the first round of votes was on. There generally aren't amendments to the committe haggle. It's either accepted or rejected. That it passed probably means very few changes, if any were made.

The Committee version is at Huffington now -- dated 12 FEb, not the same thing linked up above.

To get the full "Committee version" you have to download 4 pdf files, total about 52 MB, so it might be as well to wait until the gpo gets the whole-and-really-final-version online. The Committee version is a markup, with a few "graphics" showing where the red-pencil marks were embedded, so a plain text version could be a little smaller but probably not much.

Reports are that Obama will arrive in Denver on Tuesday, and will sign it "in Denver;" but the reports I've seen don't indicate just how long he'll be in Denver, so it's not necessarily a done deal on Tuesday, but that would be a good place to put your money in the pool at the office.
