Three provisions are attached to $ 410 billion spending bill proposed by Obama . Senators Bill Nelson of Florida and Bob Menendez of New Jersey voted for the budget Tuesday after receiving personal letters from Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner assuring them that the new provisions will not alter U.S. policy . No restrictions to Cuba from being loosened ; it will be easier to spend money there . Sale of U.S. agricultural and pharmaceutical products could be easier now . Some critics said measures should not have been attached to spending bill .
