Washington — Congressional negotiators on Monday unveiled the details of a $1.7 trillion government spending package that will fund federal agencies through September 2023, setting up a final legislative fight in the waning days of the congressional session.
The sweeping measure, which Republican and Democratic leaders are racing to pass before Friday, includes $772.5 billion for domestic priorities, a $68 billion increase, and $858 billion for defense, matching the level set out in a defense policy bill passed by Congress last week.
At 4,155 pages, the legislation includes priorities for members of both parties and the White House, among them $5.4 billion for more than 3,200 projects pushed by Democrats, according to House Appropriations Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut.
