Congress Clears $662 Billion Defense Bill
The U.S. Congress has cleared a $662 billion defense bill and will send the measure to President Obama for his signature.
The Senate voted 86-13 for the sweeping bill on Thursday. The bill would authorize money for military personnel, weapons systems, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and national security programs in the Energy Department. The House voted 283-136 for the measure Wednesday night.
The legislation is $27 billion less than Obama wanted for the Pentagon and other accounts.
