Leg Update
The House of Representatives passed their budget resolution yesterday which included $35.3 billion for the international affair budget. This is $1.2 billion below the president’s request and what the Senate passed on Friday.
Over the next two weeks or so, the House and Senate will conference (come to a compromise on their budget numbers) to finalize the FY08 budget resolution.
Similarly, the Senate passed the FY07 supplemental budget yesterday, which the Democratic leadership will try to get through the conference quickly, but they have to iron out several differences between the two chambers’ bills.
Both bills include items President Bush has vowed to veto.
