The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday night to maintain funding for 10 C-17 Globemaster IIIs in its final version of the FY2010 Defense Appropriations Bill. With support from 68 Senators, an amendment offered by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to strip funding for the C-17s was defeated for a second time in a roll call vote of 30-68.
Members of the House and Senate are now expected to move quickly to a conference committee to resolve differences between the House and Senate bills. The House version of the bill provides funding for only three C-17s.
