[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] The bill was signed. As such it is passed the time for a presidential veto. Among the provisions of the bill: -$90 million for long-term health monitoring of emergency workers at Ground Zero. -$200 million for AIDS prevention -$250 million that was to be divided between security aid for Israel and disaster assistance for Palestinians. -$100 million to improve the communications systems of firefighters, police officers and other emergency personnel nationwide. Radio problems hindered rescue workers' response to the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 because the various agencies' radios could not communicate with each other. -$39 million to improve and increase inspections of the 6 million cargo containers entering the country each year. -$82 million to enhance the FBI's counterterrorism technology. -$165 million to strengthen security around food and water supplies. -$400 million for election reform. -$50 million for flood prevention. -$98 million for emergency highway repairs in 18 states, including repair of the Interstate 40 bridge recently destroyed in Oklahoma. -$17.9 million for Wisconsin's effort to combat chronic wasting disease. -$275 million for veterans' medical care.
