    Declan,
    
    What follows may be a more entertaining and easier to read listing. It is 
    also available at
    http://www.heritage.org/Research/Budget/loader.cfm?url=/commonspot/security/getfile.cfm&PageID=53126
    
    Also see my own research into two of these projects at:
    Profiles in Pork: A Rainforest on the Prairie - 
    http://www.townhall.com/columnists/GuestColumns/Grossman20031223.shtml
    
    Profiles in Pork: Johnny Appleseed Meets Uncle Sam - 
    http://www.townhall.com/columnists/GuestColumns/Grossman20031213.shtml
    
    And a heads-up to those interested in such things: the next big pork 
    vehicle to watch for is the highways bill, which, in different versions, is 
    in the House and the Senate now. The President also has his own target for 
    highway spending, which, though too high, is still much lower than the 
    bills in either chamber. We have more on this at the Heritage.org website.
    
    Best,
