WASHINGTON (AP) -- Clashing with President Bush and House conservatives, Senate committees transferred $9 billion from Bush's proposed defense budget Tuesday to domestic programs.
Subcommittees approved bills adding to Bush's budgets for some domestic programs, including Amtrak, health research, and housing for the elderly and disabled. At the same time, the defense panel trimmed the Pentagon's request for KC-130 tanker planes and for the overhaul of Army combat systems.
