Congress approves multi bill package amid terrorism focus
Congress passed a $20 billion Afghanistan and 9 11 recovery package with a 408 6 House vote and a 94 2 Senate tally sending it to President Bush along with a $318 billion defense bill. The session wrapped with approvals of a $123 billion social services package, foreign aid, tax breaks for attack victims, and bioterrorism funding awaiting next year, as lawmakers recessed amid partisan clashes and questions about the GOP economic plan.

Government runs in red another month
The Treasury Department reports a $54.3 billion November deficit, the second consecutive red month in the 2002 budget year. The shortfall exceeds last November's $23.7 billion but aligns with CBO projections. Analysts foresee possible deficits for the year due to a weak economy and higher spending. Cash payments were delayed to November because December 1 fell on a weekend.
