Yahoo! News - Lawmakers Agree on $388 Bln Spending Bill:

"The bill also included $403 million dollars for Sudan, including $93 million switched from unused Iraq (news - web sites) reconstruction funds, to support troops and ease the humanitarian crisis in the African nation.

"The bill chopped $1 billion from Bush's request for $2.5 billion for the Millennium Challenge Account, a new program to encourage economic and political reforms in poor countries. But this was slightly above the numbers approved in the House and Senate versions of the bill. "
