Administration aims to restore cuts in $28.9 billion appropriation bill
House Administration leaders push the Senate to reverse part of the cuts in a $28.894 billion appropriation bill after a month of debate. GOP amendments claim savings near $1 billion, while Democrats dispute the figure. Jensen and Taber propose cuts on vacancies and replacements. Cannon warns of duplication and uncertain savings. The overall bill trims the President’s request by about $1.7 billion, with defense funding slightly above committee and White House levels.
