It’s worth noting that the “Istook Amendment” (see the last post about the technical issue of whether it’s an ‘amendment’ or a ‘provision’) was discovered in the appropriations bill by a staffer for North Dakota’s Kent Conrad.

That, presumably, will clear the way for other middle-of-the-night Istook Amendments.
