$20 Billion more, will it boost the economy ? House OKs $20B Anti-Terror Package By ALAN FRAM Associated Press Writer bayinsider.com WASHINGTON (AP)--The House overwhelmingly approved a $20 billion anti-terrorism package Wednesday after derailing a Democratic drive to defy President Bush and add billions for domestic security, defense and aid to New York. The popular $318 billion defense bill, to which the terrorism funds were added, was approved by 406-20. The $20 billion is to finance the war in Afghanistan and the battle against domestic terrorism and to help New York and other areas recovering from the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The fight now moves to the Senate. Majority Democrats plan initial votes there next week on whether to challenge Bush's threat to veto any spending beyond the $20 billion.
