Did the House OK Slashing Military Pay?

Is this why the House of Reps is holding late-nite voting sessions? Could it be that they don'tt want the world to know that they are slashing military pay for every branch? Listed below are the funds devoted to paying our military personnel in 2006 compared to 2005:
Branch------Year 2005-------Year 2006------------Change------------%Change
Army $29,507,672,000--- $24,357,895,000--- (-)$5,149,777,000--- (-)17.5%
