Other projects in the High Desert to receive money from the spending bill include:

• $42.75 million for the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms to create a training base with equipment to control and monitor exercises in real time. Eventually, the system will be linked to the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, as well as to Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada and Fort Polk in Louisiana, to provide large-scale joint force exercises.

• $34.7 million to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., which operates a research and development facility for the Predator Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in Adelanto.

• $25 million to the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Barstow to upgrade Marine Corps maintenance depots.

• $11 million to the Southern California Logistics Airport in Victorville to replace its water distribution system and for other improvements and upgrades on the base, and to help improve the efficiency of high-speed cargo movements.

• $4.25 million to fund a fiber-optic cable system linking Fort Irwin to the China Lake Naval Weapons Station.

The bill was passed 410-12 in the House of Representatives and 96-4 in the Senate. President Bush is expected to sign it by Oct. 1.
