Once subcommittees have finished drafting (or "marking up," to use Congressional jargon) their versions of these bills, one often can find highlights, or even detailed language, on the subcommittee pages at http://appropriations.house.gov/ and http://appropriations.senate.gov/. For legislation that has been officially introduced, the Library of Congress' "THOMAS" web site has a very readable table that shows status of current appropriations bills at http://thomas.loc.gov/home/approp/app10.html.
