House passes defense policy bill defying veto threat
The House approved a 612 billion defense policy bill 269 to 151 amid Democratic objections to budget cap busting. It shifts 89 billion into an emergency war fighting fund exempt from caps, drawing warnings of future domestic cuts and long term planning limits for the Pentagon. Rep. Adam Smith of Washington criticizes the move as harmful to national security.
