Defense Appropriations

The draft House appropriations language includes the 2011 DOD appropriations act. Skimming through, I get the sense of lots of history being buried there, lots of lobbying done.  For example Section 8068 requires military facilities (PXs and clubs) to buy their wine and malt from local distributors. They are permitted to buy liquor from the lowest cost vendor.  Or Section 8074 freezes the Pacific fleet command setup to that in place on October 1, 2004. What's the story there?

I also note they're banning the use of ARRA funds for signage (not in the DOD part, but the other part of the bill).
