Leahy, speaking with reporters, confirmed that they had an agreement. In addition to emergency funding for the Capitol Police, it s also expected to reimburse the National Guard for $521 million, provide funding for security improvements around the Capitol and include an unrelated issue of visas for Afghans who aided the U.S. military effort. We re going to take care of the Capitol Police and fix some of the problems that need to be done here. Certainly, take care of the National Guard, Leahy said. Both sides had to compromise on some things, but I think we re in pretty good shape.
The deal’s details: The deal, which is expected to be just over $2 billion, will include $100 million for the Capitol Police and more than $300 million for the security measures around the Capitol complex, according to a source familiar with the agreement.

What might that mean in terms of costs? Are the F-35 cost critics missing vital parts of the overall equation such as overall mission cost?
