This afternoon, the House passed its $463.5 billion "CRomnibus" spending resolution for FY2007 by a 286-140 vote. Approval by the Senate and the President are required to keep the government operating after Feb. 15. Several senior Republican House members decried the legislative process and elements of the resolution, most pointedly the $2.5 billion for base closures, about $3 billion below the President's original $5.6 billion request for FY2007. But House Democrats say that additional needs for BRAC and military housing will be addressed in the supplemental that the Administration will send to Congress next week. Curiously, in its Statement of Administration Position, the White House takes the resolution to task for underfunding BRAC and military housing, suggesting that the President perhaps had not intended to include funds for these in his long-anticipated war financing emergency supplemental. 2 Democrats voted against the measure, Dennis Kucinich (OH) and Paul Kanjorski (PA); 57 Republicans voted in favor of it.
