Senate approves record Labor Department spending cut in surge
The Senate voted to cut a large Labor Department funding measure for the current year, approving 1.676 billion dollars in appropriations for the two system areas. Senator Byrd hailed the move as a sign of real economy, while Republicans warned final totals depend on armed services reductions. The tally comes after House cuts and signals ongoing battles over State, Commerce, and Justice funding and related agencies. The action marks the first of a dozen regular appropriations bills this session with further amendments anticipated.
