      "title": "Appropriations for FY2001: Defense",
      "summary": "House and the Senate action on annual FY2001 defense funding was completed in December\nwhen\nCongress approved the FY2001 omnibus appropriations bill. In all, Congress provided about $310.0\nbillion for national defense, including $287.8 billion in the Department of Defense Appropriations bill. \nThe national defense total is about $4.7 billion above the Administration's request.\n  The conference agreement on the FY2001 Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations/Omnibus\nappropriations bill,  H.R. 4577 , approved in the House and Senate on December 15,\nprovides some additional FY2001 funds for the Department of Defense, including $150 million to\nrepair the USS Cole, $100 million for classified programs related to operations overseas, and $43.5\nmillion for military construction. Section 1403 of the bill also makes an across-the-board cut of\n0.22% in all FY2001 discretionary funds, including defense, though military personnel funding is\nexempted from the reduction. In all, this will reduce FY2001 defense funding by $520 million.\n  On October 11, the House approved an a conference agreement on the FY2001 defense\nauthorization bill,  H.R. 4205 , by a vote of 382-31. The Senate approved the agreement\non October 12 by a vote of 90-3. The President signed the bill into law on October 30 ( P.L. 106-398 ). A conference agreement on the defense appropriations bill,  H.R. 4576 , was\napproved in the House on July 19 and in the Senate on July 27, and the President signed the bill on\nAugust 9 ( P.L. 106-259 ). Earlier the House and the Senate approved a conference agreement on the\nFY2001 military construction appropriations bill,  H.R. 4425 , and the President signed\nthe measure into law on July 13 ( P.L. 106-246 ). This bill includes supplemental appropriations for\nFY2000 military operations in Kosovo and Colombia, for increased fuel and medical care costs, and\nfor some other defense programs. \n  In action on key issues, authorization conferees agreed to (1)\u00a0provide a permanent\n guarantee\nof health care for Medicare-eligible military retirees that was included in the Senate bill, but that\nexpired after two years; (2) provide compensation for workers made ill by exposure to toxic materials\nin the nation's nuclear weapons program; (3) drop a House-passed provision mandating troop\nwithdrawals from Kosovo if allies do not meet burdensharing commitments (though the bill includes\nextensive reporting requirements); and (4) drop anti-hate crimes legislation that was attached to the\nSenate-passed bill. The retiree health care measure will make all military retirees eligible for health\ncare through the military health care system. Conferees also agreed to a comprehensive retail and\nmail-order pharmacy benefit. According to preliminary CBO estimates, the bill's retiree health care\nprovisions will cost $40 billion more over the next 10-years than benefits DOD currently provides. \n  Several major weapons programs also received attention in this year's defense debate. The\nauthorization and appropriations conference agreements reduced funding for the Joint Strike Fighter\nbecause of program delays. The authorization and appropriations bills also approved additional\nfunding for the Army's \"transformation\" plan, including funds to equip a second medium-weight\nbrigade in FY2001. The authorization conference, however, included a requirement that the Army\ncarry out additional comparative testing of armored vehicles before outfitting a third brigade.",
