Answer 2

The Senate of the United States is broken down into Committees and Subcommittees.

I copied and pasted below a press release from one of the Members of the Appropriations Committee (where they decide on how to spend / appropriate our money.

"The Senate Appropriations Committee today approved the FY 2007 Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations bill, which includes funding for vital projects in California to enhance public safety, combat methamphetamine and gangs, provide investments in coastal and science research, and restore criminal justice costs associated with incarcerating criminal aliens."

The Defense Appropriations Panel is a Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee.

Answer 3

It is made up of members from the senate to oversee, recommend and manage the spending on and for the military. They actually recommend the budget to the senate for full passage, and would be not only the entity that proposed the money, but would also make sure it was used for the correct project or area for what it was originally supposed to be for. If the money went somewhere else, then they would investigate and determine if there were any illegalities associated with the use of the proceeds.
