Compromise trims, maintains F-35 funding
The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives has reconciled their differences and approved a $436.6 billion defense spending bill that would pay for production of two F-35s and would commit money to begin buying parts for 12 more fighters slated to go into production in 2008.
The Senate had wanted to delay production of 21 aircraft for one year.
