Story here. Excerpt:

'WASHINGTON -- The Senate voted to add funding for two of Sen. Joe Biden’s signature programs, the Violence Against Women Act and the Community Oriented Policing Services program.

President Bush’s fiscal 2009 budget proposed a reduction in funding for VAWA and eliminating funding for COPS.

But the Delaware Democrat’s measures to increase and restore funding passed the Senate last week as amendments to the Senate budget resolution, which sets the parameters for congressional spending. The House and Senate will have to work out differences between their resolutions.

The COPS program has funded the hiring of community police officers nationwide while the Violence Against Women Act supports programs related to domestic, sexual and dating violence and stalking.'
