Second FY2008 Supplemental Appropriations for Military Operations, International Affairs, and Other Purposes

Abstract

On Thursday, May 22, 2008, the Senate approved an amended version of H.R. 2642, a bill providing $212.2 billion in supplemental appropriations for FY2008 and FY2009. The measure includes $169.1 billion for military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, $9.9 billion for international affairs programs, and $33.1 billion for domestic programs, of which $15.6 billion is for extended unemployment compensation. The bill also expands veterans' educational benefits at an estimated cost of $52 billion over the next ten years, delays Medicaid regulations that would reduce payments to states, and limits Medicare payments to new specialty hospitals.
