description: On July 20, the Senate Appropriations Committee marked up its
 version of the FY2007 defense appropriations bill, H.R. 5631. Floor action is
 expected to begin on August 1. The Senate bill provides $453.5 billion defense
 programs, including $50 billion in appropriations for overseas operations. The
 total is $9.1 billion less than the Administration requested. Earlier, on June
 20, the House passed its version of the bill. It provides $416.3 billion for
 defense programs, $4.1 billion below the request. The amounts in the House and
 Senate bills are not directly comparable, since some programs in the Senate
 bill are covered in the House in the Military Quality of Life/Veterans Affairs
 appropriations bill, H.R. 5385.
