This is indicated by the fact that the report in total is nearly $500 million over the House version. and. when the foreign aid conference report is excluded. nearly a billion dollars above the Senate. In the LaborHEW chapter. we ended up at about $15 million above the House and $580 million above the Senate. If you add all the refugee money. that puts us $115 million above the House. Personally I would have preferred that we come out somewhere in between the House and Senate passed bills and not at a level in excess of both. One of the problems is that we tend to spend too much time haggling over $150.000 earmarks while we give away the store in the hundred million dollar items without hardly batting an eye.
