Details of terrorism spending

By The Associated Press

Since September, Congress and President Bush have enacted bills providing more than $60 billion for programs aimed at fighting terrorism at home and abroad, and recovery from the Sept. 11 attacks. Much of it will be spent over the next several years.

Details include:

– Anti-terrorism money for all federal agencies in 13 regular appropriations bills for fiscal 2000, which began last Oct. 1: Congressional aides say roughly $13 billion was provided. White House officials, using a broader definition, say $25 billion.

– Separate anti-terrorism bill: $40 billion, with money for domestic defense, the military and rebuilding the New York and Washington areas from Sept. 11 attacks.

– Bill providing airlines with grants, subsidized loans and insurance for ailing airlines, plus compensation for some victims of crashes of hijacked airliners: $13.6 billion, according to Congressional Budget Office.
