for them. that's not public yet. >> jonathan, where do you think this is going to actually, you know, hit the floor? how quickly are they going to move on this? >> well, right now there is a billion dollars tucked into a homeland security appropriations bill but no indication that will move anytime fast. i think what you're seeing right now is congress wants the president to make a request, not only for a dollar amount, but for some amount of time in which it is needed to get that money out the door. and there may be some tug of war there. i don't expect to see any money moving in the next couple of weeks, certainly the senate is out next week. so it will take a little bit of time. >> jonathan alan, thanks so very much. >> take care. where is gadhafi hiding out? live on the ground in libya with nbc's richard engel. and main street clashing with wall street. and what does finland know that we don't? this is "andrea mitchell reports," only on msnbc.
