The price tag for must-pass legislation to pay for the war in Iraq and additional hurricane relief is expected to pass $100 billion after action by a Senate panel Tuesday.
Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Thad Cochran, R-Miss., is pushing to significantly boost President Bush's latest request for hurricane relief, while committee Democrats are poised to win almost $4 billion in agriculture disaster aid.
