An entry in the Dec. 17 Daily Report incorrectly cited additional procurement amounts funded by the overseas contingency operations account rather than total aircraft, missile, and ammunition procurement numbers. For the Air Force, the omnibus spending bill provides $15.7 billion in aircraft procurement, $2.9 billion in missile procurement, and $1.7 billion for ammunition procurement in the base budget.

The original entry has been corrected online.
