The Russian State Duma will consider a revised budget for 2009 during an additional plenary session scheduled for April 6, said Duma Speaker Boris Gryzlov. Also on April 6, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will deliver a report to the Duma on the government's work in 2008.
Gryzlov reiterated that Putin was originally expected to make the report on April 2. The talk was postponed, however, since Duma deputies are set to visit various Russian regions during the week beginning March 30 to discuss Russia's anti-crisis program for 2009.
