Approps Update - Defense Down; Labor-H Out
- The Defense Appropriations bill was signed earlier this week. It is the first FY 2008 appropriations bill to be signed by the president.
- The bill also contains a continuing resolution to fund governmental operations until December 14.
- Bush vetoed Labor-H when he signed the defense bill. Last night, the House tried and failed to override the veto by 2 votes.
- Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) wants to split the $22 billion difference between Congress's budget and the President's request
