The Senate backed a $150 million addition to next year’s defense bill to keep the B-2 bomber program alive, endorsing pro-defense lawmakers’ bid to leave room for more aircraft. Senator Daniel Inouye warned that removing the money could destroy the industrial base. The chamber also debated lifting the UN arms embargo on Bosnia with cross-party support for a phased approach with allies.
