US House approves $460 billion defence budget

[Moin91]

WASHINGTON: The House approved modest changes to President George W. Bush's record Pentagon budget proposal early Sunday.

The House's $459.6 billion (euro335.6 billion) version of the defense budget, approved on a 395-13 vote, would add money for equipment for the National Guard and Reserve, provide for 12,000 additional soldiers and Marines, and increase spending for defense health care and military housing.

The massive military measure represents a nearly $40 billion (euro29 billion) increase over current levels. The Pentagon would get another several-billion-dollar budget increase through a companion measure covering military base construction and a recent round of base closures.
