Yesterday the Senate Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Committee approved a fiscal 2010 $134 billion spending measure, including $23.6 billion for military and veterans construction. The Senate version of the bill is slightly bigger than the parallel House appropriation, and includes $5.7 billion for construction at military hospitals and dispensaries, $1.9 billion for construction at VA hospitals and clinics, $12.6 billion for construction at active military bases and reserve centers, $2 billion for construction of military family housing, and $1.4 billion for military construction in Afghanistan.
