ALLARD APPLAUDS SENATE PASSAGE OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS BILL

U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, praised the Senate passage of the 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations Bill. Allard worked hard to ensure that $40.8 million in funding for the Colorado defense industry and military instillations have been included as a part of the Defense Appropriations bill.

"Last night's passage of the Defense Appropriations bill represents the urgency felt by the Senate to put partisan politics aside to sufficiently fund the Department of Defense," said Allard. "The wide spectrum of projects funded for Colorado reflects the importance of our military installations and the role we play in our national security."
