Any Week Now

Today marks the beginning of the third week of April -- a week the Obama administration had once targeted for transmitting the fiscal year 2010 budget request to Congress.

Today, an official at the White House Office of Management told Defense:Next that the current plan for sending details of the Pentagon's $534 billion spending to lawmakers is “sometime at the end of April or early May.”

In other words: Maybe next week, maybe the week after.

In March, InsideDefense.com first reported that the schedule could slip into next month.
