Here’s the House version of the bill, in case you want to read it through in detail; there’s also some analysis from Govtrack.us which is alot more valuable for most of us:
- Actual Bill: H.R.6947
- More Readable: Text of H.R. 6947: Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2009
- Status and Analysis: H.R. 6947: Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2009
- Spending Breakout: Congress Moves to Fund Homeland Security
Note: The numbers of the bills are confusing, as is which came first. But bottom line, this bill was combined with the continuining resolution (H.R. 2638) for most of the federal government, so the text of the Homeland Security appropriations bill shows up as Division D of H.R. 2638 (pages 194 – 291), and will actually be voted on as part of the continuing resolution (not separately).
