Congress Approves $80B War Package siliconinvestor.com I disagree with this part - "Those items, mostly introduced by the Senate, included $110 million for agriculture research labs in Ames, Iowa, and $65 million for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather satellites.... ...Among bargainers' last decisions were proposals for a $25 million subsidy to the American shipbuilding industry, extending emergency farm aid to catfish producers, $11 million for the September 11 Commission, and $130 million for embassy security, including the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq... ...The aid package for financially struggling U.S. airlines was set at $2.9 billion. It was dominated by cash aid for carriers" But I guess it should not be surprising that they toss pork in to a big bill like this.
