Erik Wasson writes a subcommittee unanimously approved the Commerce, Justice, Science Bill while the Homeland Security Bill passed under a 9-2 vote.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) told The Hill the House and Senate versions of the CJS bill have a $91 billion discrepancy between them.
Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) supports a version of the CJS bill that increases funding for NASA but intends to reject the bill in full committee vote, according to The Hill.
Wasson reports Sen. Mary Landrieu (R-La.) authored the homeland security bill and the difference between both chambers’ versions of that bill is at around $200 million.
