Defense bill boosts Afghan funds twenty billion dollars
President Bush signed a defense spending bill totaling 317.2 billion for the Defense Department with an extra 20 billion for the Afghanistan campaign and post Sept. 11 recovery. He called it a down payment on arming the military for the war on terrorism and urged staying the course. Congress had approved the measure after disputes over resource use, with more domestic security funding anticipated in the 2003 budget.
