WASHINGTON - President Bush next week will request a $439.3 billion
Defense Department budget for 2007, a nearly 5 percent increase over this
year, according to senior Pentagon officials and documents obtained
The spending plan would include $84.2 billion for weapons programs, a nearly
8 percent increase, including billions of dollars for fighter jets, Navy
ships, helicopters and unmanned aircraft. The total includes a substantial
increase in weapons spending for the Army, which will get $16.8 billion in
the 2007 budget, compared with $11 billion this year.
Senior defense officials provided the totals on condition of anonymity
because the defense budget will not be publicly released until Monday. The
figures did not include spending for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,
which the Bush administration said Thursday would total $120 billion this
year.
