Late on April 3, the Senate and House passed their respective versions of a nearly $80 billion supplemental appropriations to pay for the war with Iraq.

Republican leaders in both chambers managed to block most - but not all - attempts to load the supplemental with more spending. The measure is slated to go to conference early in the week of April 7 so it can be considered in each chamber before the April 11 deadline set by President Bush.

Here is a review of both bills' major provisions:
