Article Abstract:
The 2006 defense authorization bill to be passed by the US senate and the House would include a 3.1 percent military pay rise, plus a higher ceiling on bonuses and special pays. Defense expenditure, under both House and Senate versions of the bill, would be pegged to $441.6 billion, $22.3 billion more than sought by the George W. Bush Administration and $21 billion more than the amount contained in the Fiscal 2005 defense budget.
