Appropriations Conference Expected Next Week - Senate Authorization On Floor Friday

House Conferees have still yet to be officially named for resolving the FY06 Defense Appropriations bill, although staff negotiations have been ongoing for some time. Latest word is that Conferees could meet next week (November 7th) or that the bill could be held open longer to be used as a must-pass vehicle for other matters.

Additionally, it is expected that debate will resume in the Senate on the FY06 Defense Authorization Bill on November 4th. No votes are expected on that Friday.
