WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush on Tuesday signed a big increase in the Pentagon's non-war budget, and vetoed a spending measure for health and education programs prized by congressional Democrats. The $471 billion defense budget gives the Pentagon a 9 percent increase, roughly $40 billion.

The president's action was announced on Air Force One as Bush flew to Indiana for a speech expected to criticize the Democratic-led Congress on its budget priorities.The House fell three votes short of winning a veto-proof margin as it sent the measure to Bush.
