Avian Flu legislation . . . whatever happened?

Remember back a few months ago when the political hot button was Avian flu and how the US is unprepared for a pandemic? Back then President Bush called for $7 billion dollars to make us ready . . . . wonder what ever happened to that legislation? Isn't interesting that something that has been lableled by most administration topsiders as more threatening than terrorism has lost it's place in the media spotlight?
