1 Senate Point of Order Sustained Against Conf. Rept. 110-424: On 11/7/07, a point of order that Div. B: Military-Veterans violated Senate Rule XXVIII, paragraph 3, was sustained by the chair, and the language was stricken. Senate defeated the conference report on the point of order. Senate receded from its amendment with an amendment (Sen. Amend. 3557) by Yea-Nay vote of 56-37. On 11/8/07, the House agreed to Sen. Amend. 3557 striking Military-Veterans from Labor-HHS-Education.

 

2 Amendment Summaries (see p. 3-4 of H.Rept. 110-636)

Amendment #1 - "The amendment provides funding for the Department of Defense in the amount of $96.6 billion for FY 2008 and $65.9 billion for FY 2009, totaling $162.5 billion."

Amendment #2 - "The amendment requires that troops begin redeployment from Iraq within 30 days with a goal of completing withdrawal of combat troops by December of 2009. It requires that any agreement between the United States and the Government of Iraq committing U.S. forces be specifically authorized by Congress. It requires that U.S. reconstruction aid for Iraq be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Iraqi Government. It requires the President to reach an agreement with Iraq to subsidize fuel costs for U.S. Armed Forces operating in Iraq so that our military pays what Iraqis pay. It requires that troops meet the Pentagon’s definition of ‘‘combat ready’’ before they can be deployed to Iraq and prohibits troops from being deployed in Iraq longer than recommended under Pentagon guidelines. The amendment expands current law to make all contractors working in war zones subject to prosecution for offenses that would otherwise be in violation of U.S. law; extends the statute of limitations for fraud cases during wartime; and amends the federal criminal code to prohibit profiteering and fraud involving contractors overseas. It prohibits the establishment of permanent bases in Iraq. It prohibits interrogation techniques not authorized in the Army Field Manual."

Amendment #3 - "The amendment expands the education benefits veterans receive under the GI bill and would impose a tax of 0.47% on modified adjusted gross incomes above $500,000 ($1,000,000 for joint incomes), a slight increase in the highest tax bracket, to offset the cost of the expansion. It extends unemployment benefits for workers who have exhausted their benefits by up to 13 weeks in every state as well as an additional 13 weeks in states with high unemployment rates. It places a moratorium on seven Medicaid regulations that would cut services to seniors, families, and those with disabilities as well as cut payments to safety net providers. These costs are offset through amendments to Medicaid asset verification provisions and Medicare physician assistance and quality initiative funds. The amendment provides $5.923 billion for the State Department, USAID and International Food Assistance, including $1.865 billion for international food and disaster assistance and $675 million for refugee assistance. The amendment provides $4.6 billion for military construction, including $939 million for BRAC, over $210 million for military child care centers, and $956 million for military hospitals. It provides $5.8 billion for efforts to strengthen New Orleans levees in FY 2009. It provides $178 million to the Bureau of Prisons for rising incarceration costs and a growing inmate population. It provides $210 million to address decennial census cost overruns. Finally, it requires companies that receive more than 80 percent of their revenue from the federal government to disclose the names and salaries of their top officers, and requires federal contractors to report violations of federal criminal law and over-payments on contracts over $5 million."
