Dave Camp named defense budget conferee to work out differences between House and Senate budgets

U.S. Rep. Dave Camp was named a defense authorization conferee to iron out differences between the House and Senate versions of the defense budget. "This important legislation will provide the critical resources for our military services as well as our national security programs that help keep our national defense strong," Camp, R-Midland, said in a statement. Camp is also chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. The congressman and fellow Michiganders U.S. Carl Levin, D-Detroit, and U.S. Rep. Sander Levin, D-Royal Oak, will act as conferees to work out differences between the Senate and House versions of the defense appropriation bill. The U.S. constitution requires both sides to be identical before it's sent to the president for a final endorsement.
