Found on CBS this morning:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/04/12/earlyshow/main20053039.shtml

Among the cuts:

* $700 million from clean and safe drinking water programs;
* $390 million from heating subsidies;
* $276 million from pandemic flu prevention programs; and
* $1.5 billion from the president's new $8 billion initiative to spur high-speed rail development.

Somehow, I think that if there is $6.5B in the wild for HSR, that's going to be it.

That would likely mean that of the $2.4 billion that FL returned, there will still be $900 million to redistribute.
