House Passes DOD Appropriations Bill (H.R. 3326)
The House passed the FY2010 Department of Defense appropriations bill (H.R. 3326) today after adopting an amendment to remove language that would have required DOD to procure additional F-22s. The amendment was offered by defense appropriations subcommittee chair John Murtha (D-PA) who changed his mind about the additional planes after the Senate removed funds for them in its version of the FY2010 DOD authorization bill. President Obama had promised to veto any bill that included funds for more than the 187 planes now on order.
