The Defense Department is “still going through the details” of House appropriators’ 459-page continuing resolution (H.R. 1473) for fiscal year 2011, DOD spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said late Tuesday. The legislation would appropriate about $513 billion for defense, approximately $17.4 billion for military construction and roughly $157.8 billion for the Overseas Contingency Operations account, he said.

The spending deal would rescind $2 billion from Pentagon weapons procurement accounts, InsideDefense.com reports.
