Demystify: 

The funding of the CSB is definitely not a "done deal".  At this point, its funding has been included in the House Budget Committee's proposed appropriations.  If one appreciates that the House Budget Committee Chair is Rodney Freylinghuysen of New Jersey, and that a bipartisan majority of the New Jersey House of Representatives members supported CSB funding, this outcome is not surprising.  However, so far I have not seen any "champion" for the CSB in the Senate.  So at best continued funding of the CSB is still a work in progress.

Mr. Trump may still have the final word on the CSB.  Its five Board members must be proposed by the President, and then confirmed by the Senate for five year terms.  Currently the CSB Board only has four members, and all of their terms will expire in the first half of 2020.  So - even if funded now - without new appointments & confirmations, the CSB could effectively be leaderless by mid-2020.  Then what?

I thought I read previously that CSB was funded?
