The $471 billion bill needs the signature of President Bush to go into effect. Unlike other spending bills, the president has not threatened a veto.
"This bill is about support for our fighting men and women and about providing what they need and what their families need in order to continue their exemplary service to our country," said Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah.
Utah's congressional delegation secured about $89 million for the state's defense firms and military installations, including at least $16 million for ATK.
The company known for making rocket boosters will use the funds to spur its growing interest in using fiber composites to create aircraft parts and to develop a series of rocket engine motors that could be used in a number of missiles.
The bill also funds money to help the Utah National Guard improve its ability to intercept enemy signals. Utah National Guard and reserve units that served in Iraq will likely get part of $980 million allocated to buy replacement equipment.
The legislation does not include most of the funding President Bush has recently requested to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Democrats created a new bill that ties those funds to a troop withdrawal, setting up another showdown with Bush over the direction of the war.
All five of Utah's members of Congress made budget requests, led by GOP Sen. Bob Bennett, who is a member of the appropriations committee.
