Apparently National Guard issues are a real sticking point right now -- though I am not familiar with exactly what the flap is.

Per the Fox News story that I cited above in this thread, the original bill included langauge that would have expanded the government's power to put National Guard troops under federal command in times of disaster like Hurricane Katrina. State governors are unhappy about this and it seems like the conferees are having a tough time deciding what to do about it.
Anyway, thanks for the update as always.
